Hello Friends, How are you today? Our house is feeling awfully quiet because we just took our daughter back to college yesterday. I tell ya’ stamping and blogging is such a great way to keep the ole mind busy. I am thinking that you already know that? I am sharing this card today because Purple Onion Designs is having a great Anniversary 25% off sale! Purple Onion has some of the sweetest images that are so fun to create little scenes with. (PO stamps are unmounted. Some people mount them before stamping… I just gingerly stamp away ever so carefully. )
There are a few little details on this card that I want to share. I stamped, cut & colored another dress, flipped up the bottom & glued it down just at the waistline. Wink of Stella was added only to the purple accents, parts of the leaves & a portion to the “flower”.
Lots of white dot action with the only gel pen that works lol. I also added a “halo” with a grey marker around the image. Once I finished coloring I added some distress ink carefully around the image. (I was to lazy to mask the image… if your inking tool is dry but, has leftover distress ink on it, this look is easier to achieve.)
Have a great weekend and in case you missed it there is still time for the Simon Card Kit GIVEAWAY here.
Your visit and comments are always appreciated (and I am always happy with a visit only… I know your time is very valuable 🙂 . Hugs, Kathy

Such a sweet card Kathy, you realise that you got the blame for me having to buy a wink of stella glitter pen – don’t you!
Your coloring always amazes me Kathy!! Love how sweet this card is. I am going to check out Purple Onion. I have never purchased their stamps so I will go take a peak. Have an awesome Sunday!!
Another reason I’m so happy to sub…I saw this on IG and hadn’t noticed the little ears popping off the edge of the card on my little phone screen!! You add so many perfect little touches to your cards, #copicsister – love you!
I’m with you on the merits of the Signo Uniball white pen… Love the detail you created around the blown away seeds… Give such a sense of movement.
Such cute images and I love the details in your coloring! I also never heard of Purple Onion, so I just popped over to the website and absolutely love their designs! I will definitely be shopping with them 🙂 Thank you!
Lovely card Kathy, such a cute image & your colouring is perfect! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Aw Kathy, this is absolutely adorable! Love the cute scene you have created with wonderful colouring, the pretty touches of sparkle and all the dotty goodness! Hopefully the time will fly by until your daughter is home on holidays from college:)
This is ADORABLE Kathy!!! 😀 It just makes me SMILE!!! I LOVE your attention to DETAIL! It’s SO PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
An absolutely adorable card! If that isn’t the cuttest mousie I’ve ever seen. Beautifully colored as always and I love the glitter. Beautiful shading. I love the look of the seeds being blown from the flower. So sweet.
OMG Kathy…this card is amazing! The Copic coloring and all of the wonderful touches of glitter and white marker! Well done!
My spouse and I stumbled over here from a different web address and thought I may as well check things out.
I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward
to looking into your web page again.
Adorable card and wonderful colouring and use of the white gel pen. I have used Aleene’s Tack It over and Over on the back of rubber mounted stamps. You apply, let it dry and then you have a temporary adhesive sticky back that you can use over and over with out having to mount it to a foam pad. I then store these stamps in a old CD case. http://www.amazon.com/Aleenes-Tack-It-Over-4oz/dp/B00178QQ84
This works for me!
Thanks for the tip and link Mary Anne!! I will have to get some of that Tack stuff. Thanks again 🙂
AWESOME!! LOVING the INSPIRATION for today!! =) What a SWEET little Scene indeed!! Sorry to hear your House is Quiet, but it won’t last!! THANKS for sharing the sale and have a Fabulous Week!! =)
Beatiful and sweet cute card Kathy.
Gr Elly
Very cute card Kathy!
