Good morning! I took the day off from the computer yesterday (after making sure there were no dire emails to attend to) and it felt great. I really like taking the technology break on a regular basis - makes me feel less tied to them (and I have definitely gone through stages of that too).
I am only a week late on my most recent Ocean's 11 blog challenge. We were to use any type of dry embossing we wanted to on our project. You know I used my cuttlebug ambossing folders - I can safely say that that was one tool where I certainly have gotten my money's worth!
Here is miss Anya from Greeting Farm. She is colored with a combination of copic and prismacolor markers and her hair was done with a prismacolor pencil and blended with baby oil. The sentiment is from Verve. Its a great little set with some nice sentiments and the cute curly q's around some of their letters.
From there, the card is just a matter of adding layers.
We are expecting a gorgeous spring day here today so I'm hoping to open some windows and enjoy the day. Hope your day is a sparkling one!
Sooo cute! Love these Miss Anyas!

What a pretty image. I like the simplicity of the layout, the soft colors and the embossed background panel.

She looks like a lot of fun to colour. The Swiss Dots folder is my fav of all the Cuttlebug folders. Nice job.
I recieved a purdy card from you in the mail the other day. Thank you so much for thinking of me. It was so nice to come home to something other than a bill. It is time to Pay it Forward now.

Great color combo! And, I agree, I don't think you can go wrong with the cuttlebug.

Another great sentiment. I apparently like all of your fonts! Perhaps I am just tired of mine!!
This gal is adorable and you did a fab job coloring her! Love the pokla dots!! I thought it was paper pieced at first!
