It’s a JiFFy Kind of Day
It’s that time again! The JiFFy girls have been a little bit “folksy” this month…as opposed to a little bit country or rock n’ roll. Now you’ll have Marie and Donny Osmond singing in your head all day…if you’re old enough to remember that. 
This month Alli chose the bird image from Unity’s July kit of the month, “A Pocket Full of…” and Carole chose Graphic 45’s “Hot Tomato” from their Times Nouveau Collection. I think it’s a perfect match. (I’m still waiting for that really IMperfect match. (I know it’s coming…sooner or later.)
Happy Day
I colored my bird with Copics and then sponged the edges with distress ink. I used a black 3-d gel pen on the bird’s eye, the solid dots on her 
tail and the centers of the x’s on her body.
Be sure to check out what Julie, Kim, Alli and Lori did with the same image and paper. (Carole is taking a bit of a break.)
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Oh I love this! I really must do more sponging - it sure warms up a card. Love your coloring, too.
Ahh! This is just stunning, Michele! I LOVE your coloring (of course)
and the mesh is a perfect touch! Those buttons are pretty cute too! 
Love how you added the mesh, the scallop on the bottom piece of houndstooth, the coloring - ROCK’ed it… This is beautiful. I love the off-center main image on that rectangle block, too. GREAT challenge card!
I love the colors you used and your coloring w/the copics is wonderful! What a great fall card…
I just love this card. I just signed up with Unity to receive their kit of the month. The Graphic 45 paper is so beautiful. Check out my blog. I am a newbie.

Hi! Just a note of thanks for the quick ship of The Wheel Thing. As you advised, the pkg corners were dented but the stamps themselves were in GRRREAT! shape - like new. Can’t wait to play… I had heard of SU a long time ago but only committed to making my first purchase earlier this year and boy, have I been missing out!
Thanks again & happy crafting!
P.S. your art is beautiful.
Sincerely, Sam
