Thank You to Cheryl, Spectrum Noir, and Humphrey

Two fellow design team members at Sketches 4 All have been trying to get me to get out of my comfort zone and into the alcohol marker coloring craze.  I went ahead and got a pack of Spectrum Noir (which expanded very quickly to several sets) and created one card using the pens as background coloring (click here to see) but still no coloring of stamped images.  No to let me off the hook, Cheryl sent me a super fun image from Crafter's Companion (Humphrey line) and so I pulled out my markers and created a thank you card for her.  THANK YOU, Cheryl!  I am still figuring out the shading and such as I have zero drawing or art background but I'm learning.  I added a few buttons, ribbon, and embossing to round it off.

And where did I get some of my other inspirations for the card from  Check these out:.

• Crafty Cards Challenge #125 - Critter Cuties  (I know the card isn't really a Valentine's card per se - but Valentine's Day was over Valentine's Day can also be about friendship)
• Paper Playtime - Use a Sentiment Stamp (I sued a Thank You stamp from Verve)
• Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes
• Crafty Ribbons - #39 Use Buttons
