Last night I ventured into the craft room and decided to colour one of Jane's Doodle images that had been sitting on my table for awhile..this image is a set of 2 that you are able to purchase through Squiggly Fly, super cute and great to colour, I coloured in the image of Olga.
I had previously resized the image on my computer and printed it onto white card stock, colouring the image in with my Copics (at the end of each week I will share the colours that I have used on each image coloured in for each of the cards created for that week, the link is at the top of my blog) once coloured in, I trimmed around the image and set her aside to work on the rest of the card. Taking some red card stock, trimming it to size and stamping the Hero Arts, Happy Definition stamp that was inked with Poppy ink, stamping over the entire piece of trimmed card stock, sewing around the edge of the card stock and adhering to a Snow white card. Taking the Made with Love stamp set from Hero Arts, stamping a sentiment from this set at the top of the red card stock. Finally, adhering Olga to the card stock with foam dimensionals and adding a scattering of rhinestones to complete the card.
Here is a close up of the card.
Okay now for the giveaway as an after Easter treat and a way of saying thank you to all my wonderful blog readers, I thought that I would have a little giveaway here on the old blog...these are some of my favourite products right now, and wanted share.

Well I hope you all have a fabulous day!
Hugs!

Joy, you do know that you are the ULTIMATE ENABLER, right? Your gorgeous cards are the reason for my ever growing stamp collection, and every shrinking bank account, LOL. Keep up the good work.

Olga is gorgeous - I remember having a set of babushkas when I was a little girl. I snuck them into my bag and took them to school and lost one of their heads. I cried for days, but your card makes it all better :)
Thanks for sharing.
Very cute card, Joy! My best friend's daughter went to Russia on a missions trip when she was in highschool and brought back Babushka dolls to give to everyone who had helped support her trip. I love these cute little dolls. Your coloring is so pretty! This card would surely make anyone happy. I've been wanting to try some of that lovely twine and those stamps look amazing! Thanks for the giveaway:)
Such a sweet card - great coloring!
