First Try

Here is my first Stamping Bella image (given to me by Jenn). Her name is Eloise. Isn't she charming?

I don't have a lot of CTMH markers or any watercolor pencils to work with yet, so I used some old art class colored pencils I've had sitting in the top of my closet for years. I had a perfect skin color (I am very white :) ). I also used some CTMH colored pencils.

She's not perfect, but I am sure I will get better over time. Of course, I will probably end up with better products to use when I color in my images, but for now (because I am on a budget), I can stick to the pencils.

My husband is on crutches for 2 months. YES, 2 MONTHS. We are surviving the first few days. He has a microfracture on his hip, so no walking on putting pressure on it until mid August. We're good, and just glad he is home and on the road to recovery. :-)
