Not only is CocoDingo offering an incredible prize package to one lucky winner of the challenge, they also provided images for the design team to use. THANK YOU, Corinne!


I had the privilege of creating with the CocoDingo Bench in a Park image.

This was such a fun image to color. I enjoyed blending blues and greens in a variety of hues to create the water.



I wanted the Bench in a Park image to be the focal point of my card, so I went with a very simple layout and few embellishments.




I did add some layering, after all, rarely do I make a card without layering.





awwwww... this is a nature scene I can hardly wait to experinece. A nice WARM summer day.

    What a serene scene, Jeanette -- the kind that makes you want to dive right into the card and stay a while! Fun background papers -- I like how you punched out that extra little bee -- so sweet!
