Hi Everyone!
Today is release day over at The Greeting Farm and boy has Marie and the team got some CUUUUUUTE stuff this month!! I love them all, but my personal fave is this lil girlie from the Hope and Grace line...she's called Peace!
The instant I saw this stamp I thought VW bus and I wasn't sure how I could pull that off but then I got a stroke of inspiration and decided to just draw it! This card was SUCH a blast, not only because of the bus but it was also my very first image colored entirely with Copics! I know, I know...what took me so long?? LOL. I must admit I've been a bit afraid to venture down the Copic alley because I think it takes a real eye for shading to use them (which I do Not have) and also it takes some buckeroos, if you know what I mean...those babies are spendy! But I got a few and I played a bit...and I like them...
Hope you all have a great Sunshiney Day and how could I leave without saying a HUGE Congratulations to my dear friend MARY in making the Summer DT for TGF!!! YAY!!
