Gliding By

Today's color challenge over at SCS is a GORGEOUS combo, Taken With Teal, Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red, but when I first saw it, I was scared. I think anything with Taken with Teal scares me though- which SORT OF explains why I am still using the very first package of CS I bought of that color....back in 2002/3!!! No lie, it still has the old order number on it, LOL!!! I used the January Stamp of the Month from Paper Pretties. This stamp is called Gliding By and will be sent out to our SOTMC subscribers at the beginning of January. If you aren't already a subscriber, whatcha waiting for??? Not only are the images TOTALLY adorable, it is reasonably priced, easy to do, and you get your stamps a MONTH BEFORE THEY ARE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC...wahooo!! I love that!! You have until December 31st at midnight to get signed up and receive this super cute stamp before it is released to the public...and don't forget to tell them I sent you!! Anywho, I stamped my image with Black Stazon on some Gina K. pure luxury white card stock(the 80 not the 120). I then used my SU markers, re-inkers, and blender pens to colored her in. After outlining her with my Prismacolor Cool Grey 20%marker, I added some glitter to all the Baja Breeze parts as well as her trail using my Sakura Stardust Glitter pen. The blades on the skates were colored with my Silver gel pen that I got at Target. I added some piercing, matching ribbons(all from SU), a spiral clip, and I also used some YUMMY paper from the Ski Slope DSP. The sentiment was cut into a skinny little strip and then I used my SU Word Window punch to round out the corners. Since I am still DESPERATELY working on my Christmas cards, I think I will add this one to the pile, may even have to make a few more!! That is it for me now...thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
