Hello and welcome. Today I have a few cards to share that I colored while my husband was watching the news. Lately I've taken to coloring more, even with migraines, just to try and keep my sanity from local, national and world news events plus my ongoing health issues.
First up, I have a cute little retired
House Mouse Happy Hoppers bunny that's soaking up some "rays". He's stamped in memento tuxedo black and colored using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils before stamping the saying from a retired
Stampin Up seasons set then layered and added some silver brads. After distressing the edges of the layered panel, I added it to my card base before lightly stippling some leftover walnut stain ink still on my brush from another project. My final touches were some silk flowers and yellow ice stickles to highlight the "rays".

My second card is made using a digital image from
Impression Obsession called
Beach Chair. I kept this card very clean and simple using only the digital image colored using copic markers. I didn't add any embellishments because I wanted the focus being the image itself.

My third card uses another digital image from
Impression Obsession called simply
Boy Fishing. It's inspired by a past
Free For All 643, Songs of Summer, challenge over at
Splitcoaststampers. After printing this off onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils before blending Tim Holtz walnut stain and broken china distress inks around my colored image. Only I had it layered, I distressed the edges of the bottom layer before adding brads and adhering it to my card base using pop up glue dots. I then added a small amount of crystal ice stickles to highlight parts of the water. I just love how this young man has his school books with him but does appear to be skipping school for fishing.
