Good evening! I’m going to bed but I’m really trying to be good about coloring and posting. I managed to color but the posting part not so much so here we go.
Here is my completed card with this cute image. I love the pretty ribbon in her hair. I then started work on another card. I took a Power Poppy digital stamp and added a sentiment to it in Silhouette Designer Edition. I printed it on Copic paper and started coloring.
I didn’t get that far but will make sure to finish coloring it tomorrow and make another card.
Ok, I’m yawning. I’m going to bed. I’ll be back tomorrow.
Good night.

So I almost cried when my Copic spit up on my paper. Sometimes if the markers are overfilled or from shipping they might needing to be decompressed (take both caps off for a second), they will all of the sudden push out a large amount of ink. Well while I was coloring her tights, my marker put out a bunch of ink. Let’s say that it is great to know that I was the only one in my craft room because I didn’t say nice things. To add to the pain, I couldn’t find more copic paper to reprint the image to start over. So I decided to make a teaching moment of it – what to do with mistakes.
So I added stickers and I can honestly say if it happened up higher near her head, I wouldn’t mind but I did not like the cover-up on the chair. But I pushed on and mounted it on some coordinating cardstock and mounted that on some embossed cardstock in hopes to distract the eye from the hearts. I also said I would reveal the quote I chose for the inside of the card and here it is:
Now for today, I chose another Mayzy Art image. Isn’t she cute with her little cupcake?
I started with her skin and hair but I have to admit, I knew I wanted her skirt to be a jean skirt before I even started coloring. I love when I know the colors I want to use right away. Love it!
I haven’t finished her but will get back to her tomorrow and make a card for her.
First thing I did was bring her cuteness into Silhouette and then started brainstorming the message I wanted her to convey on a card. Then I searched my quotes collection and then I designed the cover with the words Be you. If you come back tomorrow, I will share the very beautiful sentiment I used for the inside of the card once I complete coloring.
As usual I started coloring the skin and hair first. I didn’t intend on having the highlights but then decided to leave them. Some days I can pick colors quickly and then other days, I struggle. Today was the later and I finally decided to color the chair cushions with the other color I was thinking about.
It was kind of regal so I thought that shade of blue worked. But then I am stumped on the hearts, her tights and shoes so I will pause here and return to it tomorrow with a fresh perspective to complete this card.
I pulled out an embossing folder of a tree that I thought would work nicely with this image. As usual, I took the time to make extra so I can make more cards later.
I made sure to cut it slightly smaller than the card base and attached it. Again, I am loving the monochromatic look of white on white.
The final card is so sweet and simple. I haven’t put a sentiment inside but would love any suggestions. I was thinking since the sign says ‘one way’ that I could include the words ‘to my heart’ inside for a sweet nothing card. “What do you think I should write in the inside?
