For my first card today, I decided to ink up this adorable image from the new Anki's Sweethearts Line available exclusively at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This image is called Julia With Flowers and I think she is so adorable :) I inked the image with Memento Black Ink onto PTI cardstock and colored her in with copics. I added some glitter with my Sakura glitter pen. All cardstock is by SU (Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, and Pretty in Pink) and my design paper is from DCWV's Nana's Nursery stack (baby girl). I added a Pretty in Pink ribbon and then adhered my image to my SU cardstock with dimensionals. I used my SU ticket corner on each corner and added pearls. The sentiment is from Hot off the Press (this is a great, versatile sentiment set) and I punched the sentiment out with my SU Word Window punch. For a finishing touch, I added Primas and a pearl. What do you think? Also, make sure to stop by Susana's Store Blog, Follow Your Heart for a wonderful tutorial by Anki (the creator of Anki's Sweethearts) on Criss Cross Cards. Her tutorial is really easy to follow and her card is just gorgeous.
For my second card today, I decided to ink up this adorable image from Pink Cat Studio. I used this past week's Mojo Monday Sketch for my layout. I inked my image with Memento Black Ink and colored it in with copics. I added some pink stickles and some glitter from my Sakura glitter pen to the image. All cardstock is SU (Always Artichoke and Regal Rose . . . this is one of my absolute favorite color combos). My design paper is from Basic Grey's Bittersweet line. I used my Threading Water border punch for the scalloped border. I also added pearls and Primas for finishing touches. What do you think?
I'd love to hear what you think of my projects. I'm hoping to get back to my regular daily posting schedule so I'll be back tomorrow with another project :) Have a wonderful weekend :)
Big Hugs, Christine :)

I LOVE both of these cards! I prefer cards that don't have a ton of stuff going on (a million flowers, tons of bows, lots of bling, etc.) and your cards really appeal to me because they let the main image be the "star of the show"! It's nice that Anki named a stamp after me LOL. The colors on both cards are wonderful and I love the pearls. Ok, I'll stop gushing now!
Love these cards!! The pearls on both add such a nice touch!! Awesome job!
Christine, these are both so adorable! I love the Anki - I think I "need" her, LOL!
They were well worth waiting for! I love this Julia with Flowers. I think she may be my favorite and I love the soft colors you used for her! And Lily and Billy are way too cute! I love BG's Bittersweet paper. You colored both of them so beautifully. Hope you're feeling better soon as I've been fighting the flu this week as well.
Hugs to you,
Susan
