I have a fun card to share today. I created this card back in June! Honestly, I don't know what took me so long to share it on my blog. It is one of my personal favorite cards that I created this summer. I love the colors and papers. This adorable image is Heidi and Mattie from High Hopes.
I read on the High Hopes site that they are discontinuing many of their older stamps. This makes me so sad. They have always been one of my favorite companies for adorable images. But I refuse to get rid of my beloved High Hopes stamps just because they are retiring many of them so you will still be seeing my cards with their images! :) Lacey does carry many of the older High Hopes stamps along with the new releases in her store, Stamp and Create. She has this image available here.
Okay, card details are pretty similar to most of my card details. Image was colored with copic markers. Sorry, I don't know the marker colors as I created this card the beginning of June. After die cutting the image, I sponged around the edges with some yellow ink while the image was still in the die. Patterned papers are from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop line.
Have a wonderful day!
Niki

What a sweet pair, Niki. As always you have colored the image so beautiful and the DP's you used just "make" the whole card. Very pretty
This is such a sweet card Niki. It reminds me of my youngest daughter. She just loves animals.
Your coloring is wonderful and I love the designer paper that you chose.
Blessings,
Deb
Love the image, your coloring and the different dp patterns together-neat card!
This card is awesome. I just love the colors!! I have these papers also, and frankly, I hate to use the last of them because I'm just in love with the color palette. Niki, my friends and I have a saying of 'I'm jealous', not meant to be taken literally, but to express a feeling of awe.....you are a remarkable colorist, and "I'm jealous!"!! I live far from any kind of papercrafting business that offers Copic classes, but it is on my agenda to take classes after the holidays!! You are such an inspiration to me....I'm just amazed at everything that you do. I'm really learning a lot about Copics and shading by examining your cards and taking notes on how to present an image without it looking fake and uninspiring. I've started my collection of pens in anticipation of my new journey. Hope that in the coming months I'll be brave enough to display my new projects on my blog. Until then, I will thoroughly enjoy all that you post for us to be inspired by.
Just precious!! Your coloring is stunning!!Have a great weekend :)
Oh Niki you have such a talented hand. Your water coloring is par excellence. Superb, actually. Makes me sigh deeply to look at your artwork.
