Celeste

 I haven't coloured up Celeste from Art Impressions in a little while, and I came across this image already stamped and waiting for me, so I got down to business and coloured her up.  Here is Celeste Set (Sku #4326):

 She's priceless.  I adore everything about her - the clothes, the jewelry, and the diva vibe.  I coloured her with Copic markers, and added a little zigzag stitching with my sewing machine.

Happy stamping!

A Rainbow Celeste card

Well, it's been a slow few weeks on my blog, as we had two weeks of vacation, followed by one week of getting our son ready for University, followed by a week where I worked 3x my normal shifts while I filled in for others on vacation!  Yesterday we got Adam all settled in at Western, and with a little luck, life will now settle down into the new normal :o)

It's my day to post on the Art Impressions blog, so I am sharing a bright & sparkly Celeste card, which features one of our newest Ai People stamps from our recent release (sku #4326):

Celeste is one fun gal to colour!  With her spunky outfit, just about anything goes... so I cut strips of different polka dot papers to create my own rainbow background.  I coloured and cut out Celeste a second time, and pop dotted her up along with the sentiment for a little extra dimension:

A close up to see the layers:

Here are the Copics that I used:

Happy Stamping everyone!
