Totally Stampalicious Thank You

This is for today's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE - Nell Hill's. I just loved the colors in these darling FLORAL PRINTS. The blues and green caught my eye and then I found today's OUR CREATIVE CORNER CHALLENGE - Colors (Blue & Green) and my sweet friend Joycelyn's stamp company TOTALLY STAMPALICIOUS as the host this week. WOW how kewl. It was like a sign. I had to stamp. So I inked up this cutie pig and colored the image with copics B91, B93, B95, B97, C3, C5, C7, E30, E31, E33, E34, E37, RV000, RV10, RV11. YG1, YG13, YG17. I am making this for a male co-worker so I wanted the main focas on the image so I made a CAS (Clean And Simple) card without ribbons, buttons and frills. He precepted me and showing me everything he was taught and has learned about inserting PICC Lines and now I am certified to be on my own. Whoo Hoo. I hope he likes the card I made for him.

It's Your Birthday Old Brawd

This is another one for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE. OK ladies I need some help here. I have been talking with Shannon about how to kick up my designs a bit as they seem dull and plain to me. She suggested that I stop trying so hard to combine so many challenges. So this is just one challenge. I colored this darling image from a set I just got from Totally Stampalicious called Old Brawd. I just love this sassy lady. I used copics to color her. I cut the image Out of the Box and matted it on Riding Hood Red cs. I stamped the sentiment in black on kraft cs. I used some Indian Summer dp for the 3 side panels. I layered some primas and added a purple daisy brad to hold them all together and folded a strip of ribbon to place under the primas. So what do you think?
