So Proud-D'arcy Diaries

This card was create with my babysitter in mind. She is graduating from high school and off to college in August.  She too enjoys scrapbooking and I often let her borrow my Cricut Cartridges for project cause I am hoarder of those too :-)..but at least with my DT-Cookin with Cricut I have been putting them to good use.

Anyways, this fabulous digi is from D'arcy Diaries. They appear to be a more recent digi company but I always appreciate unique talent and her drawings are like no one else I have seen.

I am not really happy with my shading of my dark blues. I am still working on using the darker colors since it is not a color I turn to often so forgive me...any pointers greatly appreciated.  The paper is from MME and I used my Cricut to create the background she is applied too as well as the pennants.
