MFT - Fab Friend Friday!

It's me again... your favorite FAB FRIEND!  LOL

This week I want to share some cards that I made with some of my very favorite images.  I am in LOVE with My Favorite Thing's Pure Innocence line of stamps.  They are just sooooo sweet and a joy to color (which as you know is sort of my thing! LOL). 

This first card is made with the little girl from the My Balloon set.  I actually cut the balloon out and then squiggled a wire between her hand and the balloon so it had a 3D quality.  The balloon is popped up on foam tape.  The bright colors and the sweet little girl just made me happy... so that's what I put as the sentiment.  (I used the Layered Labels Die-namics for this.. uber easy!)

And for a little treat for you... I decided to create a video for this next image.  I am always asked about my coloring, so I thought I'd tape myself while coloring the image and share with you.  Of course, I didn't do a lot of editing, so I ramble a bit and it ended up being sort of long.  I split it into 4 videos... each about 4 or 5 minutes long... so you could see what I do. Nothing elaborate... just something simple to get you started.

You can see the videos on my Youtube channel - just started one... will be adding lots of videos in the months to come... or just click on the links below.

And here's the final image on a card. 

 
I used the adorable little youngster from the Make Mine a Double set for this card along with the Die-namics Open Scallop Border.  Ice cream always reminds me of summer... and the 4th of July... so I went with a red/white/blue color scheme for this one.  Isn't it sweet?
