Happy Friday everyone. Wow - having Monday off made this week streak by! Today I was playing around with some new images and finally hit upon something I decided was a keeper.
First off, let me say that I adore the color purple. I have since I was in kindergarten and created a book of all purple things. So my little girl today is all shades of purple.
This little stamp from the Greeting Farm is a pretty new stamp. It's either Hope or Grace, I'm not sure which one is which (the set is just called Hope and Grace). She is stamped with palette noir ink and colored with copic markers with a bit of sparkle on her handband using a spica pen.
Copic Markers: BV00, E00, V12, V17
Spica pen: lavender (#01)
The paper I used was from Daisy Bucket Designs - Whimsical Ladies/Empress Catherine.
As usual, the card design is pretty straightforward.
I think I'd like to try sewing on my cards. I while back I bought a Janome Sew Mini and it has sat in its box since I got it. Today, I took it out of the box. I will buy some thread and then maybe give it a whirl. I did see that Gina K has some tutorials so I'm going to read them very carefully. If you have any other tips or helpful links, let me know.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ahh so cute!

I love the girl in all shades of purple! I think she'd be happy you colored her like that. I wish I had any sewing tips for you....but I've got nothing, not in my skill set!!!

Oh I have been trying to ignore my sewing machine for ages but finally got it out a week or two ago and tried it. It does give a lot of added interest to a card. I'll be watching to see your creations! Love this one!

Lovely purple card :)
Can't wait to see those sewed cards - I love added that dimension, but I hate taking out my big machine. I have to find a place to leave it out all of the time!

LOL - love to hear people like me....I bought a new sewing machine...and it's sat in the box by the front door for a month...maybe more. FINALLY opened it this week and playing :) I LOVE purple too - it's girly, without being a priss - ha. This lil' redheaded girl is adorable.
