Well I had originally meant to play along with the Taylored Expressions card sketch, but didn't finish my card until yesterday. Oh well, maybe I'll be more on top of things this weekend. Anyway here is the card that I made for TECC64. The stamps are from The Greeting Farm and it is going to be for my daughter's three year birthday at the beginning of May. Sniff, sniff...sorry, I just needed a moment to wipe my eye at the fact that my baby is growing up. I love being a mom and my daughter is definitely the best part of me.
I also had planned to play along with the Case of the Curious Card III over at the Greeting Farm, but I couldn't get my layout to work so I just went and did my own thing. When I saw this stamp I immediately thought of this butterfly paper from Basic Grey. So that was the color inspiration. Both cards were colored with copics and use Susie Surprise and Flutter from TGF. Thanks to the skin coloring tutorial from Janna on the Club Anya blog, I think my skin colors look much better. Thanks Janna, you rock! Now I need to work on getting better effects on other areas. Oh and now I know the markers are pronounced as cope-icks instead of cop-icks. At least I was getting the ick part right.
So how would you like to have a TGF Flutter Butterfly stamp of your very own? Just leave a comment on this post and spread the word on your blog. Drawing will take place via Random.org at 10pm EDT on May 6 my daughter's birthday.

How precious is that picture!?! Hahaha Love it!! And I'm loving those cards too Mary!! They're awesome!! Since someone sweet is gifting me Flutter, don't add my name, but I will add your blog candy to my blog! *mwah*
Cute cards! I would love a chance to win Flutter - she is adorable! Cute daughter! I linked you up on my sidebar!
These are both totally amazing, Mary!!! I just love the cupcake b-day card! You colored everything so beautifully, but especially the balloons and her clothes! Awesome!
I'm also drooling over the butterfly card! GORGEOUS!!!! Amazing coloring. I didn't think it was possible for your coloring to get any more brilliant, but somehow you managed.
LOL! about how to properly pronounce "Copic". I know it's the "cope-ick" way, but I just can't get myself to say it - I'm just so used to saying it wrong.
Hugs sweets,
Catherine
