I colored this cute image from Sassy Cheryl with copics and pencil. I had this fun saying from DRS but the format of the stamp would not fit on the card so I typed it in. The mat is mixed media paper. I dropped reinkers on it and sprayed with water. I lightly stenciled some small bricks and stitched a flourish. Thanks for stopping by.

Adorable card, Nancy! Lovely small details that really finish it off to perfection. I have to say, your "typesetting" skills are fantastic! I love the mix of fonts and upper and lower case here!

Wonderful card Nancy, just love that sentiment (and you typed it in?!?!?!) is there no bounds to your inventiveness??
Super background - just enough definition to compliment your beautifully coloured image ...

Each card you do is really something extraordinary, Nancy. I just study them to take in all the details. I love the color palette that you use...it is YOURS! The little touch of hand-stitching is wonderful.

That adorable puppy is phenomenally colored - something that is so totally your style! Love how you are using the mixed media mats from all the special effect BGs you always create in the blink of an eye - even if not much of it is showing, I know it is awesome! The faint hint of red bricks on your main panel looks fabulous and I remember how you work to get your sentiment EXACTLY where you want it - thanks for teaching me that trick! Your gorgeous stitching really finishes this cute card in the most artistic way ever! BRAVO!
