For a Wonderful Aunty..... =)

You can definitely tell that fall is rolling in. The leaves are slowly starting to change colour, the temperatures are starting to cool. I find in the fall, I get a lot more done because I like to be inside more. As you can see from my posts lately, I am trying to be a little more adventurous with the cards I make by adding more embellishments. I am really having fun with this so I hope you enjoy. This card I am about to show you is for a very special aunt. She is like the matriarch of our family. She is my mother's older sister and it is her birthday at the end of the month. I wanted to make her something really special because I know she appreciates the work that goes into my cards. I had coloured this image up a LONG time ago, so long in fact, I don't remember the Copics I used.... SORRY.....

It is a Sherry Baldy image.

 I originally bought her on her Etsy shop. 

Although I can not find a link for her any where, so I apologize!

You can also find more Sherry Baldy work here.

Isn't she adorable? They are super fun to colour!

Sherri Baldy Digital Stamps......

          So I have become a real fan of Sherri Baldy digital stamps. I remember when I first started working with Copics and saw her stamps along with Kristy's from Saturated Canary and found them SO intimidating..... I totally stayed away from them..... until just recently, I have come across some blogs of some lovely ladies who use Sherri Baldy stamps quite a bit and I finally decided to give them a try and I have to say they really are beautiful...... here is the latest one I have coloured..... and when I get the other ones made into cards I will post them as well......

          Sorry for the huge shadow at the bottom. I did not realize it till just now. Isn't this adorable?..... I can not wait to come up with a card for this one and when I do I will include all the important stuff like Copic colours used..... =)

Sherri Baldy Art....... Simply Gorgeous.... =)

          I first noticed Sherri Baldy Art images quite a while ago while perusing Etsy for digital stamps but was a little intimidated at the time because I was just starting out with Copic markers. In fact, I had boughten a bunch of them and they sat there for about a year before I really "dived" in to the Copic world. Copic markers can be a little intimidating to say the least.

          So after using Copics {for a little over a year} and getting the hand of it somewhat I decided to buy some of Sherry Baldy's images {you can find them here} and have now started colouring them. They are SO MUCH FUN. Mind you, none of these images that I am posting on the blog post have actually made it to card status yet but I do have some ideas for them whenI find the time..... =)
