Here is the finished card using the image I posted earlier today. You'll notice there is a bird (blob) in the upper left corner of the image. That bird has now been removed from my stamp block ... he's just too blobby and had to GO! *grin*
I recieved a fun birthday package this morning from my friend and fellow stamper Shellie. In addition to a CUTE birthday card, she sent me a gorgeous 6x6 pad of My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose paper that worked perfectly for my project today! That cute button was in my package, too, also part of the Stella & Rose line. Perfect!! Thanks Shellie!

Oh my goodness, Anna! This card is truly amazing in person! I am so honored to claim it as my own. The coloring is fantastic, and you've added little sparkles that don't show as much in the photo as they do in person. Besides the beautiful coloring, the layers of paper and faux stitching make this a special, special card. Thank you! I feel like I got the REAL gift for your birthday.

What a fabulous card! I love the image, but it's your coloring that brings it to life! I feel like I could walk right into the scene! Beautifully done!

Hey Anna! I am on the belated birthday wishes list!! OMGoodness tho'!! I watched your coloring video with those newly won markers (YAY and congrats!)and felt like I was getting a gift--just amazing to behold! Love that you colored up this adorable little fall display stamp for us to ooh and aaawwwh over!! Also love those pencil holders--thanks for the template--another gift--you are such a generous soul. I remember doing "punkin poo" last year!! We are too far out in the country for trick or treaters, but I think I may adapt it for chocolate coated licorice or jumbo pretzel sticks at Christmas!! Have an awesome day. Hugs~
