Have a Wonderful 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July, folks!
I don't usually give out Independence Day cards, but I had colored up Amelia (from TGF's Ahoy set) with red/white/blue. Thought I'd showcase her card today.
I am laughing as I'm typing this because there are a couple of quirky things about this card. One, being as I am a couple of days away from delivering my bun in the oven, my fingers are like sausages. I have tried tying that Martha Stewart twine into a bow many times. Woe is me! My fingers would NOT cooperate. Hahahaha!!!
Two, the time has finally come to buy Copic refills for my E0000 and E000. But I wanted to squeeze out every drop of ink -- Miss Amelia's face is the final image that I colored before I purchased my very first refill! BTW, thank goodness for You Tube vids on how to actually refill them!
Anyway, peeps, I have a few posts lined up and pre-scheduled. But I'll be away for a bit, birthing a new baby boy and getting used to a newborn's routine. I won't be able to comment on your terrific blogs and artwork (unless of course, I'm up doing a night-time feeding AND somehow, have some energy!).
I am getting quite nervous... but excited at the same time. Thanks so much for visiting!!!
Such an adorable card! Can't wait to see your new baby soon!
ReplyDeleteI am just loving this. The bling bling is the finishing touch for sure.

ReplyDeleteYou are a super woman, no doubt about that and bow or no bow this card is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI was nervous about refilling my copics the first time too but it is SUPER easy, I promise! :)
