Bebunni ...Perfect for Valentine's Day

I've got one more Valentine card to share...

and then it's on to creating birthday and sympathy cards.

And then I'll be back to Valentine cards...

after I build up my Birthday and Sympathy card stash

which is almost depleted.

I inked up the the bunny from the  Bebunni "Hearts" stamp set by Crafter's Companion.

I got out my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

my favorite MFT scalloped die...

my friend thought that the XOXO print wold be great for this card...and shared a sheet with me..

for this CAS (Clean And Simple) card.

I was happy with how the image turned out...

the coloring I was pretty basic...

but then...

(ugh)

While I was coloring...

I got busy talking to my friend who spent the day in the studio with me...

and forgot to switch to a fine tip marker for the string on the hearts.

The Spectrum marker nib was too large for a fine detail like the string.

I wanted to kick myself..

as soon as I touched the Spectrum marker onto the cardstock....

I knew that I wasn't going to be happy with the result 

The string was the very last thing that I colored on this image!!!

UGH....I was SO annoyed with myself.

The big question is...

WHY...oh WHY dd I do the same thing to the other heart string?

??????

UGH

I would like to be able to say that I am feeling very happy with this sweet card.

BUT....I can't stop looking at those 2 strings.

so....I am only 80% happy with it.

But....

On the bright side....

after this goof...

I will NEVER forget to switch to a fine point marker again.

(I am actually going to make another of this card...

just so that I can feel 100% happy with the card...

as opposed to 80% happy.

Bebunni is adorable...

and I think that he deserves a second chance 

But...that Bebunni card will have to wait a few days....

I am setting all of my Valentine dies and stamps aside for a little bit...

As I mentioned above...my stash of birthday and sympathy cards is depleted.

So I am going to switch gears...

to replenish my stash.

I WILL give Bebunni another chance. though...one day next week.

Thanks for visiting...

Have a wonderful day my crafty friends.

Michelle.

A Little Bit of Tail Wagging Love

Are you ready for a cuteness-overload?

I hope so...

because I've got a cutie to share with you today.

He's small..

He's brown

and he's got a happy heart and a wagging tail.

The dog image is from an MFT (My Favorite Thing) stamp set called 

You Make My Tail Wag

The upper sentiment is also from this MFT stamp set..

The lower sentiment is from a Reverse Confetti stamp set called 

Whole Lotta Happy

I colored the dog with Spectrum Noir (Alcohol) Markers

The mat layers are metallic card stock (frosty white and black)

The print is an oldie from Stampin Up

(I hoarded a bunch of this print pack back in the day.....and now, sadly...this is my last pack)

The crystal clear sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh

The print has some sparkle to it...with some glittery sparkle on the white heart flower-like design.

And..although its difficult to see in the photo...

The frosty white metallic layer under the age was embossed with a heart patterned embossing folder

The  lower sentiment is from  Reverse Confetti's Whole Lotta Happy stamp set

It's a super-fantastic stamp set because it includes many sentiments for specific occasions.

I almost always keep this stamp set right on the studio work table and have used it on countless cards. 

I feel like I always say this here on my blog...

and today...I'll say it again...

I had fun creating this card!

It was fun putting together this sketch...and it was lots of fun coloring the dog image.

(and yes.....in case you're wondering...I created identical multiples of this card)

Thanks for visiting!

Have a wonderful day, my crafty and creative friends!
