I love GIRLY!!

Girly cards are my favorite--probably not a big surprise if you've looked at my blog before. Let's face it, girl images can be colored with every color in the crayon box, unlike boys who are usually browns, greens and blues.  I love flowers, sparkles, pearls, ribbon and lace! So, the topic this week at Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog is my most favorite challenge of the year: GIRLY!



I used one of my favorite stamps, Little Tilda, and colored her with Copics. I love her because of her striped socks. It is so much fun to color this little image so many different color combinations...and she's an angel and everyone knows I love fairies, angels and snowmen.


I used an assortment of punches by EK and Martha Stewart and dies by Whimsy and Spellbinders. My flowers are an assortment of Wild Orchid and my own stash. The paper doily is one of many that I've collected and the ribbon and tag are from my collection of supplies. I used Cool Glitter Ritz on her wings and Stickles on the lace of her dress as well as on the edges of the butterflies.

    Absolutely adorable - these colors DO look so perfect together! Your coloring and shading is top notch and what can I say but that your embellishments always harmonize with your subject and colors!
