From Alex, "Happy Birthday"

Hi everyone,

I have another birthday card to share with you. This time I used a sketch from Card Pattern {Sketch #109} and a digi stamp from Whimsy and Stars Design Studio. The stamp is called Alex Birthday.

Here's the sketch,

And here's my take on the sketch,

A closer looks.

So here's what I did to this card. I embossed the white cardstock with Cuttlebug folder. I colored Alex with my colored pencils {and gamsol}, cut it and added dimensional glues. Last but not least I stamped the word "Happy Birthday".

Love the simplicity of this card. Hope you love it too.

Now...before I go back to my scraproom and create, I need to share something with you all. Sami from The Scrapmaster's Paradise is doing {not one but two} giveaways on her blog. You need to check it out....
She designs really cute acrylic stamps and also owns a store called SP & Company.
First, she's giving away the new released stamps {April released} to 5 lucky winners. Enter HERE. And, second, she's giving away 3 boxes of scrap goodies. Enter HERE. SO excited!!!

Ok peeps....I'll see you all soon. Gonna work on 2 pages LO tonight. Hopefully I can get it done soon before the weekend. Thank you again for checking out my latest creation.
Take care.
Hugs,

Sweet Birthday Wishes Card

I have a special card that I'd like to share with you all today. I started this about a couple days ago...and finally finished this morning. Usually, it didn't take me so long to make a card, but this one was special.

You might be wondering what's so special about this card. Well, I finally learned the coloring technique using odorless mineral spirit or a.k.a Gamsol. It was so much fun....!!

I always want to color using Copic Markers...but I figure it will take me awhile to build my collections. So, I started to use regular colored pencil and the result isn't bad at all. I think I love it :D

So here's my card. It's a birthday card.
Look at the girl {image}...isn't she soo cute? This is one of many wonderful images that Mabelle has created. Check her Etsy store, Whimsy and Stars Studio, and I bet you'll love her adorable digi stamps.

And now...to my wonderful readers, I need your feedback about my coloring. Please let me know what you think. I need to practice and more practice {The Virtue: Practice makes Perfect}.

Well, thank you so much for stopping by today and also share your comments on my card.
Have a great week.
