you're the best
Over the weekend, I had the chance to stamp a little and created this card with the adorable Top Chef image from Lili of the Valley. So darn cute! (You can click on the image for a larger version of the photo.)
I colored my image with copic markers that coordinate with my patterned papers from October Afternoon's Fly a Kite paper pad. Again, after die cutting my image, I sponged some blue ink around the edges. The sentiment is from the A5 Boy Oh Boy stamp sheet. I added lots of stitching to my layers and some orange buttons to finish off my card.
The copic markers I used with this image are:
bear: E31, E33, E35, E37, YR16, YR18, W1, W3. 110
barbecue: N5, N7, N9, R05, R08
dog: W1, W3, W5, W7, W9, 110
grass: YG63, YG67
I am off to get some things ready and go to the grocery store. I thought this image was perfect for our weekend plans We are leaving tonight to go camping. Finally, some time away with just my family. The summer has gone by way too quickly. Oh, did I mention my birthday is on Saturday? I love it when my birthday lands on Labor Day weekend so we can get away. I'll be taking some images to color. :) We'll be back Monday evening. Anyone have some fun plans for the weekend?
Have a great weekend!
Niki
