Hello Stamping Friends! The card I want to share with you today is more on the simpler side, well, let's say it's clearly CAS. :-D I colored this sweet Whimsy - Time for Tea Designs image, called 'Short Stroll' , in the 'no-lines' technique using my Copics. This is a first for me with 'no-lines' so please bear with me on the coloring...I still need lots of practice with this technique! To decorate the card I only added some ribbon and buttons. The DP is from Fancy Pants's 'The Good Life' collection.   I've added the sentiment right next to the image. It's from Whimsy's SC Designs collection 'Girl Talk' .  I like to enter the following challenges: Crafty Girls Challenge - Anything Goes  - until 5/28 DL.Art Challenge - Anything Feminine - until 5/20 Penny Black and more - Anything Goes - until 5/28 Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Hello Everyone! Sorry for being MIA for the last few weeks but there was a lot going on in my life which needed 100% of my attention. Also my creative mojo and my batteries enjoyed the break and a chance to recharge ;-) I'm back today with a creation with one of Whimsy's Crissy Armstrongs images from the March release called 'Playful Tiger' . I colored the image using my Copic's and for the background I used Caran'd Ache Gouache colors. The sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamps 'Girl Talk' set by SC Designs. The cute banner is made with the 'Built a Banner Die Set'  also designed by SC Designs . Flowers are from WOC and the butterfly and honeycomb deco art are from Dutch Doobadoo .Filmstrip is from Tim Holtz. All other embelleis are from my stash.
