Happy Saturday, y'all! How's your weekend going so far? Mine has started off with a bang...I couldn't sleep Friday night, so I decided to spend some time in my craft room playing! It has been far too long since I've done that...I sure needed it! I think I might sneak in there tomorrow, too. *wink*
This is one of the three cards I made...I pulled out an image from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps that I colored forever ago. Her name is Charlotte, and I do believe (shhh...don't tell the others) that she's my favorite of all the Moonlight Whispers line.
Since she is so bright and colorful, I decided to keep the rest of the card very simple. Here's how I did it:
1. Stamp image in black ink on white cardstock
2. Color image (I used Copic markers), then sponge around edges with brown ink
3. Cut image & mat using rectangle dies (plain & scalloped)
4. Add glitter to headband, waistband, & hemline of dress, set aside to dry
5. Adhere patterned paper to white card base
6. Round bottom corners and sand edges
7. Stamp sentiment in brown ink
8. Tie green ribbon in a bow around card base
9. Adhere main image panel to card base with foam dimensionals
Here's a closer look at a few details:

Most days I see beautiful cards, but don't bother to leave my Google reader to leave a comment. Today is not one of those days! This card is every bit adorable. Wow. Thanks for the step-by-step instruction beause I was so fixated on the copic coloring that I missed the glitter! It's spectacular!
This card is dreamy. I love the type of shadowing you are doing. Very inspiring. I'm going to have to give that a try. Your cards pop like no one elses I've seen.
Thank you for sharing. And I will continue to be an adoring following in my reader!
