Wednesday

Just a Note


 Happy Wednesday! I made this card using the new Belles N Whistles stamp "A Pen Friend", she was just spectacular to color. When I first started out coloring, my very first image was an Elisabeth Bell stamp, so I'm going back to my roots, or so to speak... :) . I'm also entering this in their challenge!

I used Copics and Prismacolor pencils to color her, background is done with chalk, in the earthtone pallete. And my Papertrey Ink order came today, so the kraft cardstock, hearts background, and tag is by PTI! I think I'm starting a new addiction!

Also, I didn't make it on the Stampavie DT, "wahhhh", I'll sulk for a few days... :(  I also decide to step down from the Sugar Nellie DT for now. Karen has been a wonderful boss, and I will miss her generosity, who knows, someday we'll meet again! THANK YOU KAREN!!!
