I hope everyone is having a Fabulous Valentines Day!!...My hubby just called a short while ago to say he has to work overtime...(lol...he'll have to make that up on the weekend). Since he won't be home for supper...I have time to post!
This will probably be my last Valentine card for this year. But never say never right?
To make this card I participated in the SC color challenge..(tempting turquoise, green gallore and kraft). This was really something new for me..I usually don't use such bright colors....and I kept finding myself trying to tone it down. I also used the SC146 sketch.
The image is from High Hopes Stamps. There are a few stamps there with these cute little possums. I will have another card in the near future with a pair of them. They have so many Great new stamps and always more coming...it blows my mind. Crissy Armstrong is the main artist for High Hopes and she always comes up with the most fabulous designs. She also makes the most Gorgeous cards.....You can check out her gallery here....Crissy's Gallery
On to the recipe...
Stamps: High Hopes Stamps (Overwheming Love), Michaels, SU Paisley
Paper: whisper white, tempting turquoise, kraft, green galore
Ink: versafine black, tempting turquoise, close to cocoa, choc chip, bordering blue, garden green
Accessories: robins nest, ribbon, CB hearts, fiskars punches, stickles, stardust pens, stitching
Techniques: Prismacolor Pencils (OMS) and H20's

Happy Valentine's Day. I just love your cards, and this is another beauty.
my gosh ila iam not kidding you are becomming my idol in coloring. i loooove it i can study your creations for a long time.
What a beauty again. There is an award waiting for you on my blog.
Fabulous!! I just love this, I'm also amazed how you managed to capture some of the shimmer on film, I have such a hard time doing that. The coloring is fantastic, and the little ruffle corners are such a perfect little accent. You are always so great at adding little details that add so much to your image!
Gorgeous! You do not have trouble with paper and layouts....this is fabulous! I still think your coloring is the best!
This is absolutely wonderful Ila!
Sorry hubby had to work late! Your card is just precious and I love the color combo! I ordered a stamp from High Hopes! Whoo hoo! Stay warm! Deb
I agree with claudia...you ARE my idol in coloring!! I was going to buy some H2O's, but I don't know what colors to start with. Can you give me a clue? By the way, That is the most adorable puppy!!
absolutely precious! What a sweet image and BEAUTIFULLY colored!
It's a beautifull card ! You're a great artist !!
Wow....this is Amazing!!! I love it!! You are the Sweetest Ila...Thank You for the Sweetest comment on my blog.
Hi Ila! Hope you had a great Valentine's Day. I never tire of looking at your cards. I have learned so much. I still haven't been brave enough to try the H2O's with my prismacolor. I will though, one of these days. This is another great card. I noticed you had been poking around in my SCS gallery again, thanks so much for the comments. I have to get all my V day cards uploaded. I finally finished them, now I have to remember what I did to upload -- writing down the recipe just doesn't provide near the challenge!
I just love this card! This is probably the only possum I think is cute. They usually give me the creeps (real ones that is)! Your little Buddy is also so adorable.
One more thing, I have seen stickles on so many cards, where did you get them from?
Take care,
Sharon
