an excuse to buy stamps

looking around at what other people are doing I'm seeing a lot of people detailing their copic colouring with their prismacolor pencils, and so I thought I'd give it a go on this little cutie

I have specifically bought this stamp to make my valentine's card, but he has exchangeable sentiments so I'm sure you will see him again (otherwise it was a really expensive valentines card

the background is a hero arts stamp set with the little hearts each stamped randomly

in all I'm quite pleased with my colouring efforts, especially around the ears, but I'm most pleased that I used enamel accents for the nose without ruining it before they enamel accents dried

glitter is awesome

sometimes when you have a patterned paper the card you make with it just has to be simple, this DCWV rockstar paper is one of those cases, so I've just used a simple neat & tangled die and a simple avery elle stamp set finish the card

Pushing myself with some new colouring sets and stamps from neat and tangled, a company I haven't   got many stamp sets from, but there was something about this cutie I couldn't resist, and since it is the daily marker 30 day colouring challenge I did one of those 'colour everything and photograph it on the stamp set things' that I see and like so much.

The pop up is a lawn fawn die

making a matching set - although the lavender bag is much better than the card

do i say awesome too much

Using those lawn fawn fab flowers again, and I think they look really classy with the strip of grey and a sentiment from neat and tangled.

This is about as close as I can get to a one layer card! These Neat & Tangled Scandinavian Prints were a Christmas gift and this is my first play. Stamps like these are going to make me end up buying many more ink colours! The sentiment stamp is a very  old stamp from Dovecraft.
