One of the adorable stamps that I've gotten recently was Agnes, which is a Ketto stamp by Stamping Bella (sorry, I can't link directly to the actual stamp, just to the Ketto page. *sigh*). I haven't had much time (or mojo!) lately, but I needed a quick & cute card to send to someone special. Agnes was my first choice! :)
I also used a premade card by Doodlebug designs. These are tri-fold cards, plain on the front and inside but with a pattern on the folded portion. Did that make sense? Found these at Archivers last time I was there and loved the bright, bold colors.
As you can see, after coloring Agnes with Copic markers, I cut her out and adhered her so that she shows through the window. I used some really nice paper from Xpedx to stamp and color her on (it actually *is* wonderful for Copic blending) but I didn't take into account how THICK the paper was! Oy, what a mess to try and cut this image out. If you compare the original image to what I ended up with you'll see that I clipped some parts off - I just couldn't face anymore fussy cutting! :D
Here is a shot of the interior. I just *had* to use this hysterical sentiment! It says: "If you can't be a good example, be a dire warning." It's PERFECT for the person that I sent it to!
You can slightly see the doodles I did on the pattern - nothing too obvious, but there is some VersaMarker and Spica pen in areas.
Hopefully I'll be back soon with my mojo intact. Although I seem to be interested in things other than cards right now - bought myself a small art journal, we'll see what happens!
Thanks for dropping by!

Hi Mari - this really is cute, and very special. The aperture design is perfect to showcase the gorgeous image - I really love it. Fabulous colouring too. I don't think your mojo has gone very far away, judging by this beautiful card!

Such an adorable stamp, beautiful colouring. love the PP. I really like the window idea, you cant really tell from the first pic if its a window... but it was giving a 3d effect :)
