Project Description
Occasion: General Greeting

Paper: 110lb Neenah Solar White - Card Base
Paper: Bazzill Classic Textured - Lagoon
Paper: Stamped Layer: 65lb White Card

I really like this image! I have had it for a while but was nervous about trying to color it.  This year my other self-challenge is to, despite my lack of skill, color as many images as possible.  

I originally wanted "snow" as the background.  I could not find my snow stencil anywhere.  Five seconds after I applied the paste to the hearts, the first thing I put my hand on was my snow stencil.  I  think hearts are better.  I added Stickles to the hearts and her cuffs for a little extra glitter and glam
I rarely decorate the interior of my cards. But true to my goal, I used leftover papers to create the frame and sentiment.
I will be looking for your entries at
SOS
Happy Crafting!

      Thanks, Barbara! The fact that it was in the box with my stamp and dies sets and not in the drawer with my stencils was a big part of the problem! :D)

    Thanks, Lauren! I am not really interested in becoming a marker artist, I just want to get some color on my images and keep it moving. But I will keep watching tutorials...one of these days!
