Meet Bashful Bettie by Sherri Baldy

Bashful Bettie is as cute as she is bashful.  I had a blast coloring this beautiful digi by Sherri Baldy Stamps.  I love being on the Scrapbook Stamp Society Design Team, getting the opportunity to play with all of the wonderful digi's created by all of the wonderful artists.

I won Bashful Bettie in a name this digi contest, so please make sure you always add your ideas for a name when you see them posted.  You too could win a great digi.

I had a lot of fun with this image.  I knew when I first saw her that she needed to be pink. Of course, those of you who know me well, know that pink is my favorite color and I do a lot of my cards with pink tones.  However, being this bashful, I thought she needed a really pretty pink dress with lavender and yellow highlights.

Bashful Bettie as shy as can be wants to profess her love to her sweet heart.  So, after I colored her up using my Crayola Colored Pencils, I framed her first with a pink sheet of card stock, then layered that over a yellow.  both colors were intended to bring out the strips in the plaid card stock I used for the base.  I complemented Bashful Bettie with a bright pink bow to match her dress, a little bit of ivy to highlight the green in the plaid and the leaves on her dress then used a stick pin to hold the "I Love You" sentiment.  I topped the whole look off with three pink pearls in the bottom right hand corner.

What do you think?  Isn't she just the cutest?

Rowena ~ Dressed to Impress

Little Miss Rowena, all dressed in blue, is coming out to model for you today.  Doesn't she look all sweet and innocent?  

I colored Miss Rowena with my Crayola Colored Pencils and blended with gamsol.  She is embellished with a couple of blue flowers and a "Totally Perfect" sentiment.

You can get this adorable Sherri Baldy digi here.  Rowena is one of the Bestie Big Head Series designed by the very talented Sherri Baldy.

Thanks to Sher and Amanda, my DT sisters for their helpful suggestions with the completion of this card.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, and may 2013 bring you much joy and happiness.  

Today I have for you a quick card that I made using the Happy New Year digi from Sherri Baldy.  I love the Besties Big Head Dolls.  I do believe they are one of my favorites to color. 

To color my digi, I simply used Crayola Colored Pencils and blended with Gamsol (an odorless mineral spirits).  I added a sentiment from Inkadinkado.  The paper I used for this card is from the Deja Blue stack from The Paper Studio.  The sparkling blue flower is from my sister in law, and unfortunately I do not know what brand it is. 

Thanks for looking today, make sure you stop by The Scrapbook Stamp Society Facebook page and see other great cards from other design team members.
