Artist Soul.....

Hi everyone! I decided for today's post to give some love to Hayden and Cameron from the Gum Drop Gang. I totally love those cuties and feel bad that I've been neglecting them - not on purpose mind you....

This is Hayden being an artist and she is part of Plate #15. The moment I saw this stamp, I knew I had to have this plate. With my oldest granddaughter, Emma being an artist, how could I not?

I had this stamp all colored but was still deciding if I should redo it. I had used another type of card stock to stamp the image onto. The copics colored ok on this card stock, except for the dark blue.... it bled a bit. I generally always use Neenah Crest Smooth 80lb card stock, Solar White or Millstone. This time however, I used Mohawk Expression 80lb. It feels thinner than the Neenah and it feels just as smooth as the Neenah, but it reacts a little different to the copic inks. That's not bad, just means I have to adjust how I color/blend with my copics. :-).
I also decided to create a half circle card just for something different. Ok I admit, actually I made a booboo and this was a way to salvage the card. Mistakes are good, right? I did take the sentiment and cut it in half to balance the card by adding the first part of the sentiment to the top and the other part to the bottom. Quick, simple card. Hayden is sure to bring a smile to Emma's face when she gets this card. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check Sweet Pea Stamps store for the latest releases.
