The Cute Motivet stamp I used for this card is called "Morris on skates" and you can find him right here. I think this little fella is just the Cutest....and would be great for a hockey player, (birthday), coach or congratulations on someone making a team.

For Coloring - I used copics for base only ...under the prismacolor pencils and h20's to color this image. *(be sure not to use copics over your prismacolor pencils or your copics tips will be ruined)*

The sentiment was made with a Label Maker. I drew and cut out the stars and used a paint brush and white acrylic paint to make the #1....very easy!!

Ink - memento black, bashful blue. Papers - GP white, bazill, me & my big ideas, basic grey. Accessories - brads, string, eyelets, label maker, acrylic white paint, glitter, stitching.

It has finally warmed up here a little. We manged to go for a walk yesterday and today! The weather for the rest of the week looks good too!!...Yay!!..

Have a Great day Everyone....and Thank You for all your Wonderful Comments!!

The image is colored with copics under the prismacolor pencils and a touch h20's to deepen the shade and add a little sparkle. *(Please remember.....do not use copics over prismacolor pencils or the wax from the pencils will ruin your copic tips!)*

There is glitter on Doraline's collar, cuffs, tiny flowers and the white button heart. I've used Shimmerz on the larger flowers. I also got a chance to use my lovely MS heart punch..(what a lovely punch!)... The sentiment is cut from an SU stamp set.

Ink - memento black, bordering blue. Papers - GP white, Treasures, Basic Grey Bittersweet, dcwv. Accessories - flowers, roses (from my good friend Tina), ribbons, button, pearls, glitter, embroidery floss, tulle, angle wings shimmerz, stitching.
