Buttercup

I am so ready for Spring and so is Buttercup.  I got Buttercup in the mail yesterday. Isn't he sweet?
I saw in done up on another blog (The Spotted Chick)  and just had to have him.


This is my first attempt at ruffles. I think I like it.  The ruffles left a shadow on the white and gave it a ruffled affect also.

I colored Buttercup mostly with Prisma Colors and Gamsol, using only a little Copic on the bow and ground. There is just a hint of Stickles (have to have them) on his bow.  The punches are Martha Stewart. Buttercup is a Lady Bug Craft Ink stamp and the sentiment is from Stampin Up.

I had a lot of nice comments on my last posting. To all you lovely ladies.. THANK YOU!

Gail, I managed to get to your blog from Vancouver Island Craft Junkie. I too am on Vancouver Island only about 25 minutes south of Sheree. I was looking through you blog and just love all your cards. I thought I would leave a post on one card but comment on something you said a couple of days ago about digi images. I love them too! There are some limitations with using them but there are also many advantages - like resizing and they are cheaper which means I can buy more.

Thanks for your blog - I will be checking back regularly to see what new things your doing.
