ahhh, the source of debate, but to me...it doesn't matter, long as I like it! I said I would come back to show off what I did at Linda's house on Halloween. I was a little nervous performing in front of the pro's...Linda & Pauline, and here is what I did... She is a little digi image from
CC Designs, and she took me forever to color! My heart pounded and I felt like I never colored before...I was the scared I would mess up. Slowly I got a little more loose tried to just enjoy the playing part. After all, it isn't like I have not tossed something and started over.
Technically this is a hybrid...because the grass, cheeks and blue surround are prismacolor pencil. I added some clear & black glaze pen to my little girl and found some paper that matched. {for some reason, my teal colored paper is looking way greener than IRL.} I also added the lines in her cone to make it waffle looking, then removed the color with a colorless blender pen. haha, I do pay attention to some tips!
The patterned paper is from American Crafts, the apron punch is from Fiskars, and the pretty ribbon is from the lss I go to for ribbon, called Paper Tales. *** Just a little note for fans of vintage embellishments. I went to see what time Paper Tales was open on Sunday and I ran across something on their site that I had not seen before. They now have an Etsy store full of vintage stuff...beads, flowers, ribbon, bells, pearls. I know my cards are kinda plain jane, and I don't add lots of things like that on them...but it was fun looking at all this stuff! Anyways, at the store we talked one of the owners and she told us the story behind how they came upon all this true vintage stuff that was packed away in storage...heated/cooled and still wrapped in tissue. What a find! I'll pass on their info in case you wanna browse...Paper Tale Vintage, and enjoy going back to the 40's!
See ya soon, I have class paper to cut! Don't forget you holiday/Christmas card to Emily by tomorrow/thursday night! :)

I say TO DIGI!!! All the way!! I LOVE digi images! Wish all stamps were digi images! What I like the most about digi images is to be able to size them, to the exact size you want them or need them and also to be able to layer them to create a whole new image! Your cards and your coloring are amazing! Great job!

Just one question...if I digi stamp will the black ink smear when I begin to color? I now use Stazo ink with my rubber stamps before I color to keep the lines clean but....will my computer ink cause it to smer when I color either with copic,pencils.or water?
