Hello "Meet Anneke"...

From the Heart Stamps is having a DT call and I really wanted to apply since I adore Faith's digi images and her sketches.  I'm a regular challenge participant at that blog ever since I found it!  

This little card above I made new especially for the DT call and I had so much fun making it.  I purchased the "Meet Anneke" stamp found here at From The Heart Stamps....she is super fun to color! I paper pieced her dress.

(I also wanted to add the recent card I did for Sketch 32):-)

Card Ingredients:

Image - From the Heart Stamps "Meet Anneke"

Coloring - Copics (colors used below)

Embellies - My Minds Eye & handmade

Paper - Recollections from Michaels

Dress paper - My Mind's Eye

Die - MFT flower die for the rose

When I stamp I usually stamp out several of the same image and practice different colors.  First, I started out thinking Anneke was going to be a brunette, but i quickly realized I wanted her a red-head.  The second was too red, so I went for a more blonde-ish red.  It was so much fun to color her and I find it interesting after I make a card to look at the progress.

Also, I wanted to create some texture and layers so I decided to go with the twine from under the microwave drawer!

I was very excited to make my own felt rose here for the first time (the orange one in the middle).  I used orange felt and the MFT flower die and rolled it up then put a little dot in the center.

I would love to be a part of the Design Team for From the Heart Stamps.  I am currently on the Handmade Harbour DT which is a great group and we have tons of fun.  Thanks so much for considering me! You will continue to see me around no matter what at all your challenges.....:-)
