Introducing “OA-Fuzzy Wuzzy”!!!  I stamped the Olivia from the set in Black Ink and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.  The focal panel was cut out using Nesties and a Big Shot.  I paired the image with some patterned papers from BasicGrey’s Curio paper pad.  I pierced around the edges of the floral patterned paper panel, then added an artichoke sentiment panel.  After adding some Ribbon and tons of Dimensionals the card was complete.  Isn’t she just precious???

...Happy Day With A Club Anya Sketch

This first card is my submission for Sketch Challenge #11 designed by my sweet buddy, Pam Varnell, for the Club Anya & Friends Blog. I stamped the little fella from The Greeting Farm's set "OA-Happy Day" in Black Ink onto a piece of PTI White Cardstock, then colored him with Copic Sketch Markers. I knew that I wanted to use these patterned papers from the BasicGrey Archaic Paper Pad as soon as I saw this stamp set...the little dinosaurs were just perfect! I wanted the attention to be on the focal panel, so I added a simple sentiment flag with a Button as an embellishment.

To my surprise, once I got started with this precious set I just couldn't put it down! So I also created a card using the little lady in the set...

I had already picked out some patterned papers from the Ooh La La For Her Paper Pack from My Mind's Eye, so I chose my color palette from there. She was also stamped in black onto PTI White Cardstock, and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Can I just tell you that I L-O-V-E my markers?!? It has taken me quite a while to get the hang of them, but I really like that I can give my images a watercolored look without having to actually watercolor anything. The colors blend so well, and the result is just gorgeous.....GOTTA LOVE THEM!

Well that's it for me today! I have soooo much laundry to do, but I'll be back here tomorrow with another card for There She Goes. Thanks for stopping by, and until then...
