I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend!
I didn't feel like filming anything today - just one of those days I guess. If you missed them though I did post a couple of videos over the weekend:
2012 Spring & Easter Card Series - Card #10

Product Review - My Favorite Black Inks and Why VIDEO
SO, over a month ago now I posted about coloing in a bunch of Anya images:
SO glad it's Monday!
and I've got one of the cards to share with you guys:
This was what I started off with. And of course I find out *now* that this image is no longer available (sorry!). I'm pretty sure it was a Wild Sprout image - THIS one is similar (and still available).
......searching......yup I was right it was a Wild Sprouts image - Megan she was called! And it was back in '09 that the stamp was released LOL. SO only 3 years for me to ink it up....(although I swear I've made a card before with it - but can't find it on my blog.....yeah I'm losing it....!).
.....more searching......ooohh I lied Ellen Hutson still has it in stock! Link will be below :)
ANYWHO I colored the image in to go with the Authentique Splendid 6x6 papers and paper-pieced her little shirt to match.
I added just a tiny bit of Baby Blue Stickles to her hair bow and shorts - it adds more of a "texture" IMO than actual sparkle - Baby Blue and Cotton Candy Stickles are the only ones (that I know of) that are like this - they're not actually *sparkly* YKWIM? But I like that sometimes...
So here's the finished card. I kept it all pretty simple. Just some patterned paper, ribbon and primas.
That ribbon is May Arts textures (if you guys all contact All That Scraps and BEG them to get it back in that might help *wink* I bought all mine from them and I *think* they can still get it in! I LOVE this ribbon!!).
Prima's and brads are as always from my stash (AKA lifetime supply - I seriously will prolly never use up all the primas I have, and I'm OK with that).
The sentiments are from my Big Words & Handy Additions stamp sets. Haven't used them in a while, and it made me happy to ink them up again! They're still some of my favorites for sentiments...
I kept the inside pretty simple and that's all there was to it. :)
