Soft Pencil Thursday!

It is Soft Pencil Thursday, and did we DT members ever get a cute image to work with this week! It is called "Michu and Michula", and our challenge was to use, rhinestones, brads, etc. as many or as few as we want! Yes, you know how I love those sticky rhinestones! Yes, I used alooooooooooooot of them! Ok, I exaggerated a little bit. I first colored the image in Pinks and Grays because I am a traditional kind of gal when it comes to holiday colors, and this week's image is a Valentine's day image. Then, I thought it looked like an awesome image to put on my husband's card, so I colored another image in shades of blue. Well, that was it, loved it. Much more masculine for a man. So, here it is:

Since I was going masculine as I possibly could imagine, that meant no sticky pearls, no feminine patterned paper, and not overly fancy. So, I went with stripes on the paper, and of course the rhinestones. The sentiment was hand written by me! So, pop on over to the Soft Pencil Blog and Store and buy this image and others too. Elizabeth just loaded up some more brand new images just this week again; and are they ever cutie patooties! I am going to order a few of them myself!

Supplies List: Card stock~ Stampin Up Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Pacific Point, Pacific Point Designer Series Paper, and watercolor paper. Ink~ Bashful Blue & Pacific Point, Close to Cocoa, & Chocolate Chip ink refills. Accessories~ SU Blender Pens, Blue and Clear Sticky Rhinestones, Foam Dimensionals.

On a general note, I am reorganizing my blog categories slightly so that instead of having cards under just holidays, there will be separate categories for individual holidays to make it easier to click over to the ones that you want to view. I hope to have this completed within the next day or two. I hope you like it.

Until Next Time............Blessings, Lisa
