Friendly Comfort...

 

Ahhhh... Tuesday!! I made it through Monday and today is my day off.  I love knowing that it's a day when I don't have to rush around to go anywhere except where I want to.  AND... sine it's a chilly 43 degrees outside, brrrrr... even better!!  Of course I did have to take my son to band practice early this morning but, I didn't have to get out of a warm bed to rush into the shower and get ready for work.  Yayy me!!  

Today I am sharing a precious stamp from Elisabeth Bell's Storybook Collection, "All Better Now" from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design.  There are three others in this series and each one is just a darling as the next!

My card base is Papertreyink's, Aqua Mist layered with Summer Sunrise.  I added some DP from Echo Park.  I stamped my image on Cryogen White from the Paper Temptress and colored my image with my Copic markers and a few of the Touch Twin markers.  I hadn't really used the Touch Twin markers before except for a small "test" area I played with at the Winter CHA show but I really like the brush on these.  Seems a bit smaller and more controllable to me than the Copics but never fear... with all I have invested in my Copics, I won't be giving them up anytime soon.  If you'd like to give the Touch Twins a try, Susana has sets already put together that blend well for hair, skin and some basic colors which are popular HERE.  I used the "reddish brown" set for my image and really like the result I got from them.

I hope you have a great Tuesday!  I am planning on doing a bit of scrapbooking today.  I want to get started on some pages for my son's "graduation" books I'm doing for his high school years.  Of course, he's a sophomore now so I need to get those freshman memories in the book and be done with it before I end up in his senior year doing them all at once! UGH!  

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the fact that you made it past Monday!!! Woot!!  *HUGS*
