A Custom Card & Teenagers

Have you ever had an idea for a card, or a special request for a certain type of card, and had no supplies to bring it to life?  If I could draw, I probably wouldn't have this dilemma as often as I do.

Thankfully, I have a daughter who can draw (yay!) and another who is learning (yay again!).

So when one daughter asked me for a card for a friend's 16th birthday with a pineapple on it, the other daughter came to the rescue.  I don't have anything pineapple-y, but with Microns she was able to draw the coolest one for me to watercolor.  There's nothing like having your own personal artist.

I love how it turned out.  Gotta love Distress inks for watercoloring.

Why the pineapple, you may ask?  Well, in the teenager world (maybe beyond, but I'd never heard of it) they call people who are brunette on the outside but blonde on the inside "pineapples."  Apparently this applies to my daughter's friend.  She's proud of the title and collects all things pineapple.  I remember back in the day being offended at blonde jokes, but maybe we're not supposed to be anymore?  I don't know, but I do love this little pineapple.
