Friends Who Last

Hi Everyone,
I can't believe it, it's February already. And what happened to January??? It just flew by didn't it!!??!! And tomorrow is Groundhog Day. Hmm..... will we have an early spring or do we get 6 more weeks of winter. Tomorrow we'll know for sure. LOL

Hope you are having a great week so far. I thought I'd use one of those Art Impressions girlfriend stamps. These ladies have so much personality, don't they.

It's always fun to get together with our girlfriends and have a fun time laughing and catching up.

I got out my colored pencils and gamsol and colored and shaded these hot mama's. They are a "hoot".

Lace

Hi Everyone
Today I have another card for you, using Art Impressions stamps. I used some beautiful lace that I picked up Sunday in my shopping at the last antique show of the season.

I have a few stamps along this theme, kind of country-ish and I just really like the look they give. When I was coloring this image I wanted to add colors that would remind one of dusk. As I was finishing this up, I added a little gold color using a product called Inka Gold. Its at the bottom edge of the rick rack circle. This product has bee's wax in it and it goes on with a sponge and according to the label, its called a gloss paint. It's a nice product and I am going to be looking at other effects I might be able to get with this.

Supplies used:
Country Lamp Post -L1211
Copic Markers - V04, C-5, E40, YG45, Y28, Y11, Y000, C-0

That is all for now. Hope you get some ideas using lace.
