Hi! Okay, so I cheated on my stamp diet. I know, I'm so weak especially when there are so many cute stamps on my wish list. I bought my first Wryn and actually my first ever
Tiddly Inks stamp. Wryn is so adorable that even though I'm not such a big fan of digis, I had to get at least one. So I decided to get Spring Bling cause I thought she would be a very versatile image great for any special occasion. I have to also thank Christy because she was so quick and friendly when I had problems getting my links to the digis. Great customer service!
I decided to use the sketch over at
Ribbon Carousel Challenge cause sometimes, well, most of the time, I think I'm design challenged. I really admire folks that can crank out those sketches and create pretty cards.
I think this Wryn is so adorable! I'll be entering this also in
Tiddly Inks Challenge 80--Sparkle it Up! so I added some rhinestones in the corner and stickles on the flowers. I bought a whole bunch of these rhinestones in different colors from Walmart. I think they were only a dollar for 60 in a package. But now I never see them in stock when I check. Glad I bought a whole bunch then.
Maybe this is a better view of the stickles on the flowers.
So the difficult thing I have with digis is just getting them to dry well so the lines don't smear. I think I had to use my hair dryer on this for about 2 minutes and there was still a tiny smear by her cheek. (Now everyone's gonna look for it). I tried to avoid coloring over her eyes cause that I'm sure would've smeared. And the other thing is, what size do you print your digis out at? I think I reduced this one to 3x3 inches but I'm never really sure what is a good average size that would work well on a regular card.
Now I'm gonna color some other digis I bought. Yes, more diet cheating but I promise I didn't go overboard. Thanks for reading!
