Good morning again!
I've soooo been missing coloring my Tots in lately so on Friday night I sat down at my desk and colored up Izzy and Princess Ava. My method of madness usually involves picking the stamp first, then the sketch/layout, the patterned paper and only then can I begin to color! It's definitely a process that can take a long time - especially if I can't decide on the paper!
I ended up choosing some old Basic Grey paper from the Sugared collection for Izzy and paired them with Taylor's TESC91 sketch this week. I've never done that kind of ribbon treatment before and I'm still unsure of whether I did it correct or not, but I think it worked and it's growing on me....slowly. ;)
Princess Ava...I can't help smile and think of my little girl when I color her up! :) It's such a sweet image isn't it?? Since I did a very Snow White themed card the last time I colored her up, I decided to do something a little different with her this time. I used some Sunny Glen paper and this week's Friday Sketchers #78 layout. For just a little bit extra, I added some Crystal Snow Glitter to Ava's crown and dress which worked for this week's Cute Card Thursday #86 challenge which was to go glitter crazy! Ok, maybe not crazy, but a little bit can go a long way!Thanks sooo much for stopping by today!

Sandra, these cards are so adorable! Your beautifully colored images are always paired with the perfect paper and embellishments!!!
These are beautiful! I know I say that every time, but I wouldn't say it if it weren't true. I love how both the cards have papers that just draw my eyes right into the image. Beautiful!
Sandra, these are both so beautiful, but I am just in love with the Princess Ava stamp to begin with...She is PERFECTLY paired with that Sunny Glenn paper! I wish I had thought of that!!! Wonderful! :-)Traci

Sandra you really blow my mind! I agree with others...you really must not sleep. These cards are absolutely gorgeous! I love little Ava done up and red and paired with the Sunny Glen paper. The colors on the first are so earthy and beautiful. I do hope you feel better. I couldn't tell from all these gorgeous creations that you were ever sick. A true master of the art.
I just love the colors on that first card and that paper used on the second one is a wonderful choice for that cute image.
It would figure that I would create just the opposite as you, that 's probably what I am doing wrong :) Your Tots are gorgeous!!!
Both cards are so beautiful! Love your DP and your layouts and your coloring is gorgeous!
You have TRULY blown me away, girl! Your coloring is just STUNNING on these-I can't wait to show Ava when she wakes up. Just amazing, you are!!!!

OMG!! These are unbelievable. You are sooooooooo talented.
Love, love, love your cards Sandra. Those images are just the sweetest! You've inspired me to ink mine up.
