Love You Muchly!

We are counting down the hours now. The New Year is about 18 hours away! What plans do you have? The options around here are to go downtown and watch the "Pelican" drop (yes...we have a Pelican instead of a ball!), go out to the beach and watch the fireworks, or the usual party with friends or spend a quiet evening at home. We haven't decided what we are doing. Probably the quiet evening at home! This card is for this weeks Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #54. Had to get this one in before the end of the year! So Mercy, if you are reading this, you get to send the old year out for me with this post! I have bought all of the MFT Pure Innocence stamps. I couldn't resist!! They are almost as cute as Flopsey. I said "almost". Nothing can ever replace my love for Flopsey!

The stamp image is colored with Copics and cut out with a Spellbinders oval. I left the image in the die and sponged in the blue for the sky and the green for the grass. The colors in the Cosmo Cricket DP dictated the colors I chose for Flower Girls clothing. The dots on her top are done with a Copic Blender, lightly touched to the yellow. The flowers and hearts have touches of atYou Spica Clear for a little glimmer. Supplies: Stamps: MFT Pure Innocence Flower Girl Paper: White, Old Olive, Cosmo Cricket Early Bird DP Ink: Black Memento Other: Scallop Border Punch, Oval Spellbinders, Ribbon, Clear atYou Spica Copics: E31, E33, E37, E50, E51, Y21, Y26, YG93, YG95, R02, R08, BG72 I want to thank everyone that has visited my blog since I started it eleven months ago. I have enjoyed sharing my "Art Full Journey" with you and enjoyed even more reading the comments that have been left with thoughtfullness and kindness. Have a Wonderful and Safe New Years Eve. See you next year!! Enjoy!

Peggy, your card is adorable! I love that image. We have 22 minutes until the Pelican drops (that sounds rather silly, doesnt it.) You have as many followers as I have, and in a much shorter time. Good for you! Happy New Year!
