Happy Birthday Poppy!



Here's a card I made for my friend and next door neighbor. Her birthday was last week but I am just now getting to posting it.

I used a new March image from DigiStamp Boutique called Birthday Poppy. I just love these images and I hope to fit in more time coloring them.

I used my Prismacolor markers on the image and added some depth with Prismacolor Pencils. I really like using this combination for the hair. I think it gives it more detail and characteristics of hair, even though it tasks me much longer to finish my coloring. LOL I used Basic Black for the card base and some leftover rust paper for the front base. I had cut out two 4x6 cards from the DCWV Flower Shower paper pack for the paper pieced dress and succeeded on my first try, so I used the second card for the panels in the sketch. The sketch is from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge blog hop over the weekend (March 19-21, 2010). Inside I added a simple white panel to write my personal sentiment.

Quick update: I decided to spiffy up the white panel for the inside because it was just screaming for cuteness.
The edge punch created these wonderful little swirls I needed to use them up. I punched out some Hydrangeas from MS 3-in-1 punch to go with them.. It's an EK Success edge punch and I couldn't find the name for it, sorry. I used Stickles and Studio G Glitter glue.
That's all for today. I hope you all had a great weekend and restful Sunday.
