This afternoons cards

Ethel sent me one copy of this image for her virtual swap... this is what i did with it. this card is 6 inches square in real life. took a while to color her since there were no spare images if i screwed her up.. lol. the stripe pp is from Crate Paper, the dots is MME, the sunflowers are BoBunny Press, the brown ribbons are May Arts, the red gingham is SU (i think not really sure stole it off a tag i made at one of those su things a year ago thats still sitting on the table waiting for me to do something with it...) The yellow cardstock is Bazzill, Brads are from MM, the card base is red linen from Neenah papers, the sentiments from the SU set called circle of friendship. This is 6 inches square in real life. I'm working on skin tones... has some pencil over the top of the marker for shading. (been doing some Precious moments people lately and tossing them in the trash, they tend to look like corpses or something...)
Poppy Fields hedgeie... colored with prisma pencils, A Muse sentiment. the ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Little bit of Dried Marigold distress ink color dusted around the image. The diamonds in distress embossing was done on a scrap of ruby red, the plain blue mat is unknown, the mat under that is soft sky with the paisley patterned stamped in not quite navy ink on it. the cardbase is Bazzill. the buttons from that scrap store in Medford, they have made this thing near the check out called scrap cafe, not sure if thats a brand name or not though. but, you can stick your hands into the barrels of buttons sorted by color and buy what you want...
This is a Pay It Forward Image swap birdy. ( mind is blank as to who make it or what not... think i may have snagged it from Christina though?? will check my notebook later.) got the large rectangle nestibilities set in the mail yesterday. ( so been cutting up scraps left and right lol) so this was done with some scraps laying around... the yellow pp inside the frame is actually the reverse side of the sunflower pp from Bo Bunny. the sentiments from a new su set i just got from Alice's last party the set name is "many happy returns" so this was stamped with a tombo marker on a scrap of PTI sweet blush. ribbon is unknown. this card is 5X7 in real life.

Fab cards Stacy- I really like how you cut out around that diamond embossed background.
