Hello fellow crafty friends! On this Terrific Tuesday I'm sharing a saturated canary stamp which I coloured with my spectrum noir pencils. I've coloured this stamp a few times, and so today I wanted to try something different. I went for a soft look to match the pastels in the chalk studio dp that I used.

Hope ya like it! Have a super awesome day!

Thanks for stopping, oh how I had fun with my card today, I love the paper I used and the image is so awesome.  I didn't add a sentiment this time as I am not sure what I would put.  I just like it without this time.  My turn to post over here at One Crazy Stamper for our challenge this month, which is Anything Goes.  You have to check out all the details and play along.

My image I am using is from the wonderful High Hopes Rubber Stamps, so awesome, called Favorite Honey Bear.  I used some Little Yellow Bicycle pattern paper, copic markers, added some ribbon, and flowers of course.  I hope you get a chance to play our challenge here at OCS  or maybe share the love with the incredible design team.  Lora has a wide arrange of supplies in her store as well, so pop on over there and have some fun.  Till next time happy crafting!

The Bad News is .....

Time for me to show you my latest creation, and today I have one of the hilarious Stamping Bella Senior-itas - love these stamps and the sentiments that are included with the image!

This is Senior-ita Dolores that I have colored with Copics, then mounted on paper from my stash.  I used a old tool, the paper crimper, to make the strip of cardstock behind the image, then added buttons and twine.  The sentiment is the finishing touch.
