Hello friends!
The image that I used today is called Susan, by Elisabeth Bell. I tried something a little different with her today--I colored her with prisma colored pencils. I've been admiring Elise's beautiful coloring for some time now and was inspired to give this medium another try. I had these pencils stored away for years as a lost cause but I'm glad I tried them again. It was a fun change from copics and with a lot of determination and practice, it may prove to be a worthwhile purchase after all. Thanks Elise!
I used another printed card stock from the Mariposa Matstack again. I really love this paper pack, most of the pages are really beautiful. The design on this piece made for a nice frame for my image and a clean and simple card. My sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
And since I'm using an Elisabeth Bell image, I'll be entering my card in these challenges: Belles 'n Whistles Anything Goes challenge and SCACD Friends with Heart Anything Goes Challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by and for always leaving me such encouraging comments. You're the best! Hugs!
