JUST PLAYING AROUND...



Surprise! 
     I actually have a card to share today.  I know I said I wouldn't have much to share due to the M&Ms going back to school this morning, but as we all had everything ready to go last night I decided to finish up this little one that I have been playing around with for the last two days.  
     I don't know if any of you caught a glimpse of  the awesome card that Carisa over on the Greeting Farm blog colored last Monday, but if you didn't you need to check it out and then give it a try.  She came across the idea of coloring a stamped image withOUT the black lines.  Yes, you read me right.  It is NOT a typo... I really have to tell you that her card is just beautiful!  If you didn't see it you HAVE to check it out here.  Don't you think that it looks like she painted it?   I just love it, so I had to give it a try. 
     I used the new and very Sweet Amelia from the OA-Surprise set.  I just love her hair!  My card is in no way as good as Carisa's, but I am going to keep practicing as it was super fun to give it a go.  Anyway I think she came out ok, but I went over her eyes with my Sepia Multi Liner and I really wish I hadn't.  Oh well, I will try something else for the eyes next time.   lol....   This card is more for the practice of the technique and not to actually give to someone, so I am ok with it for now.  : D
     I hope that you are all having a great week so far.  It if already Wednesday and I for one am so looking forward to being off come Monday.  Yes!   Talk at you all tomorrow as I am sure there will be much to share what with today being the first day of Eight grade.
     Thanks for stopping by and "Hello" to my newest followers.
Hugs, Lisa G

Lisa I think you did a lovely job with the lighter ink image. Such a soft look and I like the eyes. Oh, got my hair recut and hopefully it will be better. Maybe you can just send me some of yours? You apparently have lots to spare!

I love this look! Found the same sample you referred to and had to try it out myself. You did a great job with it.

Jaw-dropping Lisa! This is gorgeously amazing! I luv it to the bone! :) I have yet to try this technique, but now I must . . . it's so different and so out of my comfort zone. Was it hard to color?
