Raspberry Suite Challenge #10 with Ava!

Hi all! Just a quickie post to join in the fun at Dawn McVey's blog for the Raspberry Suite challenge #10! WOW! What fun colors! Just perfect for a cowgirl!! :) This special cowgirl is Ava and she was created strictly to honor a special brother sister pair. All proceeds are being donated to the make a wish foundation of Illinois. See my post from MONDAY and read all about it. :)

The challenge:

My card:Ava is a digital stamp so I printed her out on a piece of transparency and started painting away with acrylic paint! Yes, I said painting...this technique was first introduced to me by the talented and amazing Elise at Mamacow Creations. Check out her recent post {here} with this technique. It's is such a cool effect. It makes your image really pop off the page just like a cartoon. Love it! This shot is to hopefully illustrate the *shine* this technique gives your image. One item of note.....do your painting on the opposite side of the where your inkjet printer printed so your printer ink doesn't smear. Works great with stickles too...check out her shiny belt and earring :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
