Kitty on the Swing

It’s raining today but ohhh…it’s been so nice to have temps above freezing!  We’ve had a busy weekend, though, full of fixing vehicles.  Dontcha hate car repairs?  I’m glad DH can work on them most of the time! 

I am anxious to get our hammock back out and that thought reminded me of a card I made that I haven’t shared yet.  I only had to add a sentiment but somehow it got tossed aside.  I adore this Gillian Roberts image called Kitty on the Swing! 

I really screwed this one up, though!  Can you tell?  I colored it with Heidi’s Promarkers while I was at CHA and was really happy with the results until I grabbed a paper trimmer that I wasn’t used to using and CHOPPED THE TOP OF HER HEAD OFF!  Aaugh!  Stuart got a chuckle over that one.  LOL.  And I was determined to still use this image…I loved the colors in it!  So I had to get a bit creative.  What to do?! 

I decided to add a strip of coordinating ribbon to the top of the image and hide the evidence!  LOL.  And I figured a few punched leaves I found would be the tree her swing was hanging from.  I think it worked out ok in the end…what do you think?

Here’s a close-up of the girl and the coloring with Promarkers.  Remember…it was my first time using them. 

There are so many ways to fix your mistakes…don’t be so quick to give up!  I was glad I didn’t toss this one in the trash.  ;0)

Have a great day!
