Nice to See You Petunia - Stamping Bella

This is Petunia the Pig and probably one of my favourite stamps.  I don't often use a stamp more than once (another reason why each of my cards costs about $99 to make...) but I've used this little oinker a couple times because it's so cute.  I love the 'missing U's' in the sentiment... so clever and those funky, retro glasses just crack me up!  I'm entering this in Stamping Bella's Bellarific Friday which for this week, is a sketch:

Jenny Joy - Stamping Bella

Love this new image I got from the latest Stamping Bella release.  The name of it is Jenny Feels Joyful and I think it's so cute, Christmas-sy and perfect for the holidays.  This weeks's challenge at Bellarific Friday is a sketch and at first I didn't really know what to do with the border outside the circle until I took a peek at the Cheery Lynn Designs Italian Flourish die I have in my stash and figured it would work great.  You cannot see all the pretty intracate cuts of the die but the outer border makes some nice scallops for around the circle.

I used Copics to colour the image and sorry, I did not write the colours down.  I was surprised at the detail in this image and it took longer to colour than I thought it would but all in all, I was happy with the results.

Apple of My Eye

Hope you are having a  great week and getting a lot of crafting done.  I'd get a lot more done if I wasn't so easily distracted but oh, well!  This image is one from Whimsy's July release  Apple of My Eye and the sentiment is also included as part of the 6 piece set.  The papers are from Whimsy's Cottage Garden collection.  The oval die is Cheery Lynn's Polynesian Sails and I just love the lacy texture of this one.  Now when I look at this pic, I think I should have added some little pearls - funny how I just don't see those things until it is up on the screen.  The butterfiles is a cute little set from Impression Obsession and all five shapes are included.  It is DIE046-A
The image is coloured with Copics and I added some Shabby Pink Frantage to the image oval and butterflies.
Copics:
Bark:  E59, E57, E55, E51
Flowers:  R85, R83, R81.  I got a little too dark and went in with a white Prisma pencil and tried to lighten it up.  It helped a bit but I wish I hadn't gone so dark.
Leaves:  G28, G24, G21.  After they were all coloured, I went over some leaves with YG00 and over the rest with YG23.
Be sure to check in later in the week because I hope to have some candy up as a thank you to my followers and a 'welcome' to you new ones.
Challenges:
Card Mania - Summer Blooms
Crafting When We Can - Florals
