I whipped up this card just because I felt like coloring. As I was working away, listening to the radio, caught up in the 'coloring zone' I realized I haven't changed all that much – I liked to color as a kid, I like to color as an adult (and I've really gotten good at staying in the lines!). Since I don't have this card in mind for anyone particular, I decided to make it an androgynous model that would work for either a man or woman. It isn't as overtly masculine as this goler's card, but I think it will go.
The Birdie Told Me digital stamp is from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. What a great stamp this is; you can use it for any occasion! I decided to make it a birthday card. I used the free Sandscript BTN font for the inside sentiment. The digital paper is from the Chelsie digital paper pack by Sassy Designs.

Cute card/image and great coloring. I really like the papers too.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading about you being in the " coloring zone" [I LOve your coloring!] & learning to stay in the lines... I had to share this memory. I figure I was maybe 3 yrs old and I remember coloring in one half of a coloring book while my babysitter colored the other open page of my book. I remember coloring with scribbles back and forth like a 3 yr. old would do and I looked up at what she was doing and thinking it was the most beautiful coloring I had ever seen! And when I compared it to mine how it suddenly hit me the difference... she had colored everything INSIDE the lines. OMG! The ephiphany! That memory sticks with me to this day - LOL! But I digress... I am here to tell you how much I like your (wo)man card - great choice of papers and with the distinctive minimalist but super effective details! The great contrasts you achieved on that bird make his little belly just pop right out there like rising bread dough. Thanks for sharing him!
