All Occasion Card Using Ching Chou Kuik "Time Will Tell" and CTMH Hello Lovely Paper

Hello friends.  I am working on being more brave in my coloring.  I normally choose images that do not have a lot of little details.  They have always intimidated me in the past.  Plus, my vision requires a magnifying lamp; but even then it is hard to see those small designs; and even harder to color them and stay within the lines.  LOL!   

I own approximately 2000 digis, last count; and continue adding to my collection.  I know that is crazy; but I love so many artists and their creations. I want to support them in their business; even if I will never be able to create with all of them.

I have had this gorgeous digi for quite a while now; and didn't think I could color her. I want to encourage you to try as well.  You just take one step at a time and eventually you realize it is completely colored.  It is always a surprise to me when I finish.  LOL!  

It is time for another Inspiration Post and I am using this gorgeous image  Ching-Chou Kuik "Time Will Tell".  Our topic is "Use At least Two Ribbons".  I loved coloring her and very happy that I tried it.  I was so tempted to choose another digi that appeared easier; but this one isn't that hard after all.  It is much prettier in person; but some colors don't photograph very well.

Path of Positivity Challenge - The Beauty of Nature - Again, I have a card with nature all over it.  I love to sit and look at the flowers, the butterflies, birds, trees, etc.  I think this image is just sitting and thinking about how awesome it is to be in nature.  We take so much for granite.  When I ride my bike; I am in awe of how quickly the scenery changes in just a few days.  I always see more than I saw the day before.  Take time to "Stop and Smell the Flowers" no matter what you are doing.  It will be worth it and might prolong your life.

Birthday Card Using Art by Miran Salvia

Hello friends. I hope everyone is doing well.  I know the weather is all over the place right now.  Sunny and hot in Southern CA and cold with ice and snow on the East coast.  It is crazy, isn't it? 

I am hosting the Art By Miran Blog today with this gorgeous Art by Miran Salvia.  I loved this image the minute I saw her.  I had some trouble finding the right paper for her; and then there it was.  I was visiting Joann's Fabrics; which I rarely buy paper (I have tons of it hoarded already. Shhh!); and it just jumped off the shelf. I am sure all of you have experienced the same thing, right?  LOL! 

Be sure to visit Art By Miran Blog and comment on all of the fabulous creations. The DT are wonderful about creating cards; so you can view more ideas on how to use these gorgeous images.  

As most of you know; my favorite color is purple.  My next favorite is a draw between pink and yellow.  I really love purple and yellow together.  I had to color her hair purple for this card.  Some days are good hair days for my coloring and some aren't.  I think this one was a good hair day.  LOL!  I hope you enjoy this card; as much as I enjoyed creating it.  

Don't forget to stop over at the Art By Miran Facebook Fan Page; and check out the new Progressive Challenge for February.  You are going to love the image this month! Remember, you purchase the first image at a very low price; create something, add it to the Facebook challenge page and you will receive the next Progressive Challenge image free.  Follow the directions on the Facebook Fan Page.
