As summer comes to an end, you still have a week left to play with some bright colors at CR84FN. Grab some bright pink papers, accent with black & gray and enjoy these colors before we change to the Autumn hues.
I fell in love with Tina Wenke stamps while on a trip to Hawaii in February. Yes, I visited stamps store in Hawaii and yes, my DH came with me. How great is that! My souvenirs were stamps and embellishments and papers, no T-shirts for me! Recently Tina added some sweet little girl images to her repertoire and I had to add them to the adorable critters that I already owned. Whenever I stamp an image for coloring, I usually stamp it 2 or 3 times. If I don't like the coloring on the first one I have a few more chances to "fix it".
.
Isn't she the cutest? Appropriately this stamp is called "Tu Tu Cute". I used part of SB tag for the adornment above the image. It almost gives the illusion of her looking into an ornate mirror. Rather than cover up her "stylish" boots, I cut a slit at each side of the boots and wove the ribbon behind them. The black rose was made with a MFT die. The cutie was colored with Copic markers. A bit of glitter on the rose, some black lace and pink pearls were added for a touch of bling.
This time I liked the coloring on both of the images I colored (that's extremely rare), so I made a second card with a different layout.
I couldn't decide which card to send to Mona so I literally flipped a coin. Which is your favorite?
In case you forgot the inspirational photo here it is.
Back to creating cards in my Butterfly Garden.
Marie - what fabulous cards, I can see why you flipped the coin. They're both just so cute. Your colouring is really lovely and I think the image is really sweet. My Kathryn dances and she'd love either of these cards.
ReplyDeleteYou manage to get your hubby to come into craft shops with you!! Wow - the closest I get is mine sitting outside with the paper :) Still at least he understands.
