Birthday Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik Moon Journey

Hello friends.  I have been having fun coloring; trying to take my mind off of all my aches and pains.  LOL!  It works most of the time.  I get lost in coloring an image; so much that I lose track of time; and forget to eat or drink anything.  I think it is a healthy addiction; up until I don't eat.  I have a hard time stopping once I start something.

I used a fabulous image called Ching-Chou Kuik Moon Journey.  I have been wanting to use this digi ever since I first saw it; but was afraid to try coloring it.  I see so many wonderful cards out there; that I feel my coloring just isn't there yet.  I thought this one turned out really pretty; and not bad for the coloring.  I guess I will get better and better the more I do it.  I love coloring all the pretty different colors of hair.  I was stuck on blond; so now I am stuck on pink, blue and purple.  LOL!  It took me a long time to get comfortable coloring with these colors.  I tried many times; and just couldn't get it to look right.  I think I am getting better with those colors now.  I hope you enjoy my creation.

Thinking of You Card Using Aurora Wings Daisy Elf

Hello Friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  It is another beautiful day in Sunny CA.  I hope all of you are enjoying the weather where you are.  It has been very windy here and a little warm; but nice.  I actually feel a little better today. 

I managed to create a card using this fabulous free digi, Aurora Wings Daisy Elf from Facebook group.  Isn't it adorable!!  I almost ran out of time; but finished it late last night.  I wanted to use paper that had a magical feel to it; so I chose Maja Designs Walking In The Forest.  I discovered this company and their fabulous DP a few months ago.  I absolutely love their DP!  It feels so soft and elegant.  I chose this one with scenery already on it; which makes it feel even more magical.  Can you see the deer in the left corner with trees and leaves in the background?  I hope you enjoy my Easel card.
