Someone Needs a Hug

***This is my second post, so if your'e looking for my Stamptacular DT post, it's the previous post***** 

Oh, Friday was a wonderful day! My LOTV winnings from a Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge came in the mail today after a super long wait (okay, the wait was expected, but I'm an instant gratification kinda gal)! I picked out two sweet images and "Never too Old for a Hug" was the first one to get colored up! This was my first time actually using a rubber image! I always use digital, so I found it tricky getting a nice even stamp. I need to look up some tips and tricks, so if anyone can help me out, I'd totally appreciate it!

I used Prima Madeline papers, Wild Orchid Crafts roses (Prima non-roses) and my brand new Spellbinders die (60% off Joann's coupon used at Michaels, woot woot!) The sketch I used is the current challenge for Cute Card Thursday:


Isn't she sweet? I colored her with Copics: E000, 00, 11, R20 (skin); 
E51, 53, 11, 13, 15, 18 (hair); 
R81, 83, 85, YG03, 63,67 (clothes and wings);
 W3, 5 and blender for the rabbit and E51, 53, 57 and colorless blender for the bear

Thanks for looking!

  4. fantastic card, love the image and your colouring & all the details! I usually do my rubber stamping with an 'upside down' computer mouse mat underneath the card - it just provides a bit of 'give' when stamping! But you've done a fab job with this one!

  5. Wow, this is gorgeous and the colouring is fab. To get an even image I always use a thick foam mat. You can buy one on the link here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Purple-Foam-Stamp-Mat-Pad-15cmx15cm-/250755689368
    Really gives you an even image.

  13. Oh Danielle, this card is just wonderful! Congratulations on the big win, that's such great news and you picked an adorable image. Love how you've colored this up and your floral spray is GORGEOUS!! Unfortunately Dutch Dare has a limit of 8 challenges that a card can be entered into, so I'm afraid this card won't qualify this time, but I truly hope you'll join us again next time. You have an amazing way with coloring!
    Hugs to you,
    Lisa xx

  14. This is absolutely stunning and I love the design with the doily and flowers. Thanks for playing at Dutch Dare Card Challenge. Unfortunately we have a limit at 8 challenges combined, and that is a bit of a shame since I just loved your work with this one. Really hope to see you back again on thursday for another challenge.
