Urban Friend

Hi Everyone,

For my card today, I finished coloring a very handsome, sporty and hip young guy from Plate #140:

I know you guys are probably getting tired of hearing me say: “….. messed up on coloring” but once again, I did. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and got carried away (on the hair and the eyes).
Figuring I can save it with some brown pencils, which it kind of did if you don’t look too close, lo.

I also decided to use my skyline die-cut which I thought goes perfectly with this urban, hip image. And, since this is a masculine card, I was able to use some old paper scraps.
Fun, fun image! And definitely fun to color. If you haven’t had a chance to check out this or any of other wonderful stamps, you are missing out . Be sure to head over to Sweet Pea Stamps for the latest.

It's a Pink Thing.....

Hi Everyone,

All three of my granddaughters will be celebrating birthdays within the next couple of months. Gracy, the ornery middle one, is the first one. She will be turning 4 and like I mentioned, she is the ornery, tom-boy. So it was a no brainer to use this sassy little girl from Karen Middleton's Plate #140.

Now, this image has sassy written all over it, lol! Obviously, the hot pink was mandatory as was the hot pink Stickles. I remembered that I've had these star eyelets and that these would make perfect spots to hold Stickles.

The sentiment is from Simply Verticals - Plate #4 which was stamped with pink dye ink and then embossed with some old pink embossing powder.

Fun stamp to color. And I'm pretty sure the onery 4 year old will love it!

Thanks for stopping by!
