On my first SU order of this new catalogue I debated between a few sets to add to my new paper colors order, and I chose this one first. It has such sweetness to it, and so very fun to color.
Aren't these girls precious? And very fun to color - oh did I say that already??? :) You get the picture. I loved pairing them with this new paper too. It has such a nice graphic quality to it. The only non-SU thing on here is that I colored the image with Copic Markers (tons of them too). I used Jen's SFYTT for this week and just reversed the panels alignment.
I did a little ribbon folding on sticky strip to get the puckered effect and added some folded ribbon *leaves* to the felt flowers. I left it sentiment-less right now. Somehow it would have taken away from the card. I can always add it inside when I know what I need it for :)
Just an FYI too, I've spent quite a bit of time going through my stamping cupboard and purging things that I no longer will be using. As a former Demo, I had a whole LOT of SU stamps, and now that I'm not demo-ing any more, I really can't justify having all of those stamps that I won't be using anymore. So, later in August, I'll be listing all of these sets (100+ of them) for sale here on the blog, priced very very reasonably. I've sorted through them all and taken pictures and priced....so look for it in a few weeks. I still have to figure out the shipping costs etc.
Alright...hope you're having a lovely summer Saturday evening or hope filled Sunday day - depending on when you see this. Thanks for popping by!

This is one of the stamp sets I'm considering! I love how you've colored these adorable little girls! Your card is wonderful!! I saw Despicable Me (not in 3D though), and laughed out loud a lot too!
So beautifully and brightly colored! I'm with Laura....anything is fabulous in your hands!
Oh, wowsas. Fabulous coloring job! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, this IS so sweet---and your Copic coloring is so nice and intense! Love it!
Great card Christine! I just love the new stamp you used - I'll have to look at my catalog more closely as I missed that one. Your coloring is perfect as always and I love your coordination with the beautiful new DP.
Love this card! I have tried the ribbon idea but it keeps coming apart...when you say sticky strip, are you talking about the red Stampin up tape or something else? I would love to know how to get the ribbon to stay put! :)
Olivia...yes it's sticky strip, the red line tape from SU but Scor Tape should work too. I just kept puckering little sections and laying them on the Sticky Tape. I hope that helps. It takes a little practise, and sometimes you have to lift it and re-adjust it.
