I mentioned a while back that I was doing a box for three young ladies; well this is for the oldest one. I had purchased this image from Mo Manning some time ago, and I thought this would be a gorgeous image for a teen. Can you guess which three colors she likes best? The teal blue (or whatever you call it today) and hot pink were two. The third one might be a little harder, but it's lime green. I guess if I do enough of these boxes I'll get better at them, but they're still not exactly like I want them to be. Here's a closeup of the image.
The sky is colored too, but I wanted it to look windy, so didn't color it smooth. I know you can't see the wind, but the clouds, etc. look a little different.
This is the caption I typed up, it's another one that my dh helped me come up with. (Isn't he a doll?) lol
There are only a couple of items that might not be self explanatory as to where they came from. I made the flower with a die that I found at My Favorite Things. The papers are from my stash, as are the doilies, buttons, jewels and twine.
