I'd Pick You!!!


When I coloured this image....I was thinking of spring! Sadly, mother nature is not cooperating with my wishes, as it is SNOWING right outside my window! I'm wearing a sweater today.....it's just not right, I tell ya!

Anyway, this is an image that I coloured a while back at the Stampingbella studio while I was visiting. It is one of the new images from the Magnolia Spring Kit and I coloured the main part with my Copic markers. Then I did a soft wash around the outside of her using a Lyra pencil and OMS.

The card base is a 6x6 Tangerine Tango square and the papers and diecuts are from My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow line. I also used Apricot Appeal for matting and the sentiment is from the AmyR Friends Sentiments set. I finished her off by pop dotting Tilda and adding a button and linen thread.



Well, I'm off to work at the library all day today, so no stampin' for me. I did get to do a lot of it yesterday, 'cause I had the day off. And I got a chance to use some new paper that I picked up in Toronto.....I'll tell you all about it later this week!!

Have a super inky day!!!
