For my first card today, I decided to use this gorgeous new image from Sweet Pea Stamps. This particular image is called Purple Comfort. I think she's beautiful and I love the kittens :) I colored the image with copics (dress: R81, R83, R85, BG72, BG75; skin: E00, E01, E11, RV21; hair: E33, E35, E37; cats: W2, W4, W6). I added Stardust Stickles to her hair bows and the cats' wings. Next, I created my card base out of SU cardstock (the blue color is an old retired color, I can't remember the name, the pink is Rose Red). The design paper is from K&Co. The two corner designs on the upper corners of the card were actually cut with my Cricut from the Storybook cartridge. I'm determined to use my Cricut more, I love it! Finally, for some finishing touches, I added some pearls and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

For my second card today, I made a birthday card for my grandmother in-law (the absolute sweetest person). I love this Tilda image, I think she's absolutely adorable. I stamped the image with Memento black ink onto PTI cardstock and colored it with copics (top: W6, W8; skirt and socks: RV21, RV23, RV25; hair: E33, E35, E37; skin: E00, E01, E11,RV21), cut her out, and then added some stickles to her hair bows and her belt and her lollipop. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock (Regal Rose and Basic Black). The pink design paper is from SU, the black design paper is from DCWV. I then cut out some ovals using my nestabilities and I embossed the top oval with my Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then added Tilda to the ovals with dimensionals. For some finishing touches, I added pearls, a bow (tied with my awesome bow easy) and Primas and roses. What do you think?
Whew, sorry this was such a long post. Thanks for reading this far :) Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day! :)
Big Hugs, Christine

Lovely! Fab job and love that you cut out the Tilda!
Oh my, you have done a beautiful job!! You have really got this coloring thing down to a "T". Your work on the first card is especially striking the way you have done the skin tones and of course the eyes. Love those kitties, too. Linda S. in NE

Both cards are absolutely adorable, but your Tilda is the cutest... the coloring is gorgeous and the bling of her dress and sucker in her mouth is great.. your layout is stunning and it is a great job..

Terrific job on both your cards! Fun pink and black, so striking!!! Well done Christine!
Christine, I love both of these cards!!! I think we get our Sweet Pea Stamps on the same day. Sometimes you do get yours first. The funny thing about thsi card and the card I created with this image.. well it's not funny but the card I created with all the Fall colors is YOURS!! I went to mail it out yesterday with the stamped images on Neenah paper and I could not find the email with your address on it to save my life!! I am using my work computer at the moment, so could you please send me your address again. You have been waiting forever for me to get off my lazy bottom and send those to you!! Love the colors you have used on both cards. I really need to get some more of those adorable Tilda images!! I haven't bought any in awhile. Just wish my crafting budget had no limit. lol!!
Hugs:)
