...for no other reason than I like to color! I had these two images colored already, and with today morphing into a super busy day that I hadn't foreseen I only had time to assemble the images into cards. But, the time I had planned to create card for Virginia from scratch will be done either later tonight or tomorrow and I am really looking forward to making a birthday card! It feels like I haven't made one for so long. But back to today's cards. The first is a Penny Black Stamp called Two's Company 4165K
here and, actually, this might be the first time that I have inked it up. I feel like I could have done more with it...I am not unhappy with this card just have a nagging sense of there is more to be gotten out of this stamp than I achieved...I think it has lots of possibilities and know I will have fun playing around with it! I would LOVE to have all the Fashion Girl stamps and make "sets" out of them....I think they are so fun and contemporary looking.
My second stamp uses a Northwoods Rubber Stamp Co image
here that I really like but have found it a little awkward as far as finding a way to "place" it on a card. So again, I need to find some "mess around" time with this image to get it so I really love it. The paper is Basic Grey from their Jingle collection and the sentiment is a rub on from the clearance bin. The areas that I left white on the flowers I very lightly stickled with Diamond stickles and in person it has a really cool sheen that kinda POPS out. It doesn't photograph that way so you will have to take my word on it.....or, stop on by to my house. I have peppermint white chocolate covered pretzels that I will share with you ;-D
Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate the visit and any comments you might have about these two stamps!
Be well,
Sheila

That first card is so fun, Sheila! I love all the different colors you used! Your second card is gorgeous! Fantastic coloring on the flowers!
I'll be over as soon as I finish my Christmas cards - ha! Love these cards, Sheila. The first is so hip and the second is so retro - love both styles. And you coloring is over the top! You are getting so darn good at it. Have a great weekend!
