The Back Stories With Darnell and Cornelia - #9 Debra


Debra


When she agreed to be on top as the lookout, Debra didn’t realize there would be such a strong breeze that day. She hated having her ears blown back, especially since she had just been to the salon.



Now that she had managed to climb to the top of this pack of imbeciles, Debra realized that she could spin any kind of yarn she wanted to about what was happening on the other side of the fence. How would the other three know what was true?

In that moment, Debra fully understood the meaning of faith.

She had faith that Louie, Bruce, and Herbert would not let her fall and they, in turn, had faith that she would tell the truth about what she saw.

As she stared at the neighbor’s house, suddenly a shadow stepped into the light from the porch.

Love your stamped critters with the purple background and washi tape grounding. All goes perfectly with Dolly's tale. Does the tale come after the illustration? Hope the story has a happy ending:-)

TFS Cornelia. Hugs...Nancy

You've brilliantly illustrated Darnell's little story...and you used those fabulous Cats in Appletrees stamps. Lovin' the pink ink blending and those yummy stripes.
Wonderful story line and you left us in suspense now too. LOL
I forgot to say I love the illustration as well. Great job on that.

Oh nein ... ein Cliffhanger!! Und wie geht es jetzt weiter?? Na super, jetzt zermartere ich mir hier den Kopf und kann nicht mehr schlafen.
Zuerst dachte ich, es wird die moderne Geschichte der Bremer Stadtmusikanten.
Klasse Geschichte, super Karte!!

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
