Anything Goes 4 Kids

It is the third Saturday of the month and that means it is time for a new challenge at the Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge blog.  The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes 4 Kids.  Our wonderful sponsors are All Dressed Up Stamps and Die-versions.  Enter this fun challenge for a chance to win a 2 digital images from All Dressed Up Stamps or a $15 gift card from Die-versions.

Send a Smile 4 Kids charity is dedicated to collecting and distributing handmade cards to children who are inpatient at Children's Hospitals.  Please send us your handmade kids' cards for holidays, birthdays, and everyday cheer.  Help us put a smile on our kids' faces.

Here is the card I made for the Design Team for this challenge:

Sometimes I am just not in the mood to color or maybe I run out of time.  Either way there are instances when you can use the black and white image and still create something pretty.  In this case, I had some alcohol ink backgrounds that were just waiting to be made into cards.  Alcohol ink backgrounds are pretty intense by themself so you don't want to distract from the background, but you want your focal point to stand out.  I decided these penguins were perfect to leave uncolored.  The background has a chance to shine, but the penguin image looks great too in the black and white.  Maybe the fact that penguins are black and white by nature helps.

Thanks for stopping by.  Consider entering the challenge at Send a Smile 4 Kids.  More importantly, consider sending some cards for our kids who are in the hospital.  Have a great day and enjoy the journey and some chocolate.

Luke 10:  21  At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
