Good morning! I'm back with some more FABULOUSNESS from My Favorite Things!
This week I colored up two of the cutest images in the Pure Innocence line...
The first sample uses the image Love You With All My Heart. This little gal has a HUGE heart and she's perfect for sending loving messages to anyone in your life.
I paired her up with a saying from the Clearly Sentimental About You set. (LOVE THESE!) And I've got three more videos this week showing the steps for coloring her. You can see them by clicking on the links below.

I did add some things to the image once the videos were done... like some textured detail on her dress that I created with a sky blue multiliner and some dots of Opaque White. I then paired the colored image with dark blue card stock and created a scallop border with the Die-namics open scallop die and added a layer of patterned paper from Basic Grey.
My second sample uses Ladybug... probably my all time favorite MFT image.
This little lady is just adorable! I don't have separate videos for coloring her up, but I do have a video link where I colored her as part of a live-web show interview that I did back in February. You can view that at the link below.

For this card, I colored her up and paired her with red, black, and gray card stock. I love the way the polka-dots on the card stock mimic the dots on the body! I used three of the dies in the Layered Labels Die-namics set along with the sweet sentiment. I wanted to keep the whole thing fairly simple, but I wanted something fun, so I added her antenna with curls of wire so they would pop off the page.
I want to thank Kim and the crew over at My Favorite Things for letting me join them this month as a Fab Friend. I have had so much fun coloring and making videos with these amazing images. If you'd like to learn a bit more about me, you can head on over to the MFT Blog for a final posting and my answer to yet another interview question.
Thanks for stopping by... and have a colorful day!
