I am so happy that this crafting/blogging adventure I've embarked on this year has given me the opportunity to play so much with so many of my tools. If you haven't noticed, I'm a little addicted to this!! I see myself having an extra hour or so on my hands at night thanks to Daylight Savings Time (which I am not a fan of). Unfortunately for me, my kids will still be up by 6am climbing the walls!!
Ok, so enough babbling! I made a card tonight with one of my new digi stamps. I found a few I liked at The Greeting Farm. I love the instant gratification of these. All you do is click a button and it is at your finger-tips to use, no waiting for UPS involved!! This digi is called Freaky Flutter and the sketch is from GAB Challenge #6.
I told you that I am going to need practice with this coloring thing but I think she turned out pretty cute for being a newbie job! I pulled her arms out a little to look like she is reaching out for the butterfly! I even inked the edges of the embossed piece with Whisper White Craft Ink.

Oh my goodness! This is beautiful! You used SU! markers?? I have got to know how you colored this! It looks great! Thanks for joining us again at GAB! I gotta agree with you, digis can be addicting!

Such a kreative kard...TFS...just became a follower...hope you do the same...http://janjan808kreate.blogspot.com/
Very cute card. I have wanted to try digi stamps but have no idea what to do with them!
LOL!!! It's easy to get addicted to digis!! I need to use mine more often.
I think you did a great job coloring. Before I got into Copics I used to use the prismacolor pencils and before that I used the Stampin Up watercolor pencils. I have some of the SU crayons but was never very successful with them...maybe I'll have to give them another try!
She Turned out Perfect. Great Job in Coloring. I love it. TFS
Hi Amber,
Your card is really nice--and I think your coloring is amazing--love the face and eye work. I stink at coloring, so I just love yours!
Thank you sooooo much for playing along in my Simply Sunday Challenge.
Big Cricky Hugs,

For a first effort I think you did a wonderful job!
I think you did a great job! I haven't tried digi stamps yet, so you are awesome for trying something new!

Hey, Amber... Glad to see ya aren't floating down the river with all the rain!! :)
I have not plunged into the world of digital stamping yet -- I figure I don't use my regular stamps enough!! But I've enjoyed seeing what you're coming up with. :)
Thanks for all your lovely comments this past week -- Yep, I'm almost back to 100% health (I hope)...

I adore this card. Great job coloring on your first digi. I have a ton of digis, they are so much fun. Thanks for joining us at GAB Challenges.
