Hello Everyone and Happy Holiday Weekend - if you are in the US that is ;-) I'm enjoying the long weekend with lots of R&R, pool time and of course some crafting time :-) My card today shows a Whimsy image available now in digital, the rubber version of this stamp has been retired. This was one of my first Whimsy stamps I had in my collection and it's called 'Summer Day Emma' . I colored Emma with Copics and TouchTwin's. Papers are MME Lime Twist and the dies I've used are from Memory Box. The sentiment is also from Whimsy, one of the freebies Denise includes with orders. Here's a closer look on the image. Unfortunately I didn't write down all the markers I've used. But I can remember I used V0000, V000, V01, V04, V06, V09 for her dress. Skin is E000, E00, E11, R20. For her hair I used E21, E25, E29.  My artsy shot!   There's only one week left to enter my candy! If you like to win some crafting goodie...
