Image from Digital Ink Co., CTMH Holiday Red and Black CS, CTMH ribbon
My two blog buddies, Leslie and Sarah, have not only forced me into spending money on copics and chocolate, but they have now strong armed me into the realm of digi stamps. Oh what fun! After seeing their beautiful examples of what can be done, I couldn't help myself. Check out Leslie's scarecrow and notice how she clearly admits her role in leading me down this slippery slope. But what pushed me over the edge was Sarah's post yesterday of this lovely poppy which she got as a free download from Digitial Ink Co. as part of a challenge. Of course I rushed right over and grabed the image for myself. I think I am officially hooked.
As for the card, once I colored the image, it was hard to match paper so I decided to "make" my own. I inked an impressabilities with Black CTMH ink, covered it with Holiday Red CS and ran it through my cuttlebug. I really like the effect. The sentiment is actually a brad. Well, I am off to find more digi stamps.
How TOTALLY gorgeous is this!!!!! You blasted mine out of the water!!! That background is AMAZING. I LOVE your Poppy and how you colored it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I grow up I wanna be you LOL!
