Thanks a Bunch with Polkadoodles

 This flower stamp set from Polkadoodles called Thanks a Bunch is another fun set from the Pretty Flowers collection.  I love that you can use all of the stamps in the set, or even just one or two.  For this Thank you card, I used the bunch of flowers as well as theh butterflies and sentiment.

I coloured these images with my Prismacolor Premiere pencils in the following colours:

Teal:  907, 105, 905, 992, 289

Purple:  132, 932, 1008, 1026

Yellow:  943, 1034, 917, 916

Green:  908, 988, 1097, 1005, 1089

Pink:  1009, 994, 995, 1014

Red:  937, 924, 122, 1001

Above and Beyond with Joy Clair Designs

 I have another floral design to share with you today using the Above and Beyond digital stamp set from Joy Clair Designs.  

I decided to color this image with a monochromatice color pallette.  I used the E40 colors along with some white Prismacolor pencil to brighten the highlights.  I layered the image over some patterned paper from my stash and added some enamel dots.  Lastly, I printed out a digital sentiment from the same set and popped it up on some dimensional adhesive.

Do you sometimes have a person in mind when you are creating a card or coloring a particular image?  I did with this one.  My daughter had just crashed her car the day before and one of the many things that stuck out for us in this experience was the nice people that came out of their homes to assist her!  In particular, a lady named Linda who heard and saw the crash from her kitchen window and immediately came to my daughter's aid.  My daughter and her friend are fine (the car is another story), don't worry, but they had never been in an accident before and are only in their early 20's.  So, it was an upsetting experience for both of them.  Paige mentioned she would like to give Linda a thank you card for her assistance that day and so this card came out of that situation.  Thank you Linda, you are a godsend :)

Back to School with The Paper Nest Dolls

I know, it's been 'back to school' for almost a month hahaha but I love this stamp.  Any stamp featuring books warms my heart, what can I say.  And as I sit here typing, I am fighting what I am fairly certain is the flu.  Yes, the dreaded flu!  But enough of that yuk, let's move on to much better things :)

Here is Back to School by The Paper Nest Dolls.

I have colored her using my Copics, Prismacolor Markers and Prismacolor Premiere Pencils in the following colors:
