This first card I really like. I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon. I stamped with versafine ink, then colored the leaves with tombow markers. This set is Out on a Limb. I love that there are extra leaves, or flowers or those berry thingies. Then you can do the limb and have whatever it is falling off too.
Next I got out my new Polka Dot Basics set. This set, by the way, is what pushed me to finally do a PTI order. I had some things on my list, but this set I had to have so I sucked it up and did a big order.
Ok, so I stamped the large open circles. I did a full sheet of paper, over and over and over. They really do line up nice so it wasn't hard or anything. I knew I wanted to color in the circles to make my own patern paper. Then I decided to put the black dot inside. I did it sorta random. After that I cut the sheet into 4 sheets so I could color them all different and play.
First up is a card with one of my all time favorite The Angel Company stamps. I don't know what the name of this set was, I have it labled as "Snarky Cats and accessories" But that's not the real name. Also it's retired. :( The phrase comes from the Haute Coture set I think. *I got it in a grab bag I bought from TAC* The dots and the cat are colored with copic markers. I used the cool shadow marker to outline the cat.
While I was coloring Stephen said "Mommy, you color those eyes?" and I thought, "Hey, they DO look like eyes." Another of my favorite TAC sets is this Creepy Crawlie set. So I colored one sheet like it was creepy eyes. You can't see in this photo, but I also stamped "Have a creepy good day" and also some really creepy small bugs over and over on the black background. I did it in black ink, but in person you can see it. I colored with copic markers again. Added some googlie eyes on the monster and some glossy accents on the teeth and claw thingies.
I have two more sheets I will work with later. :)

That sympathy card is beautiful. The falling leaves that are still green are very impacting. Wow. It is really a great card.

Everett thinks your bug/spider/eyes cards are "AWESOOOOME!"
I think they're pretty cool too! And the leaf one is really pretty!
Your sympathy card is so pretty. And perfectly simple and serene for the circumstances.
