ABC DT / Little Girl With Heart

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

This week over at ABC Toys and Crafts I created this card featuring a Cling Stamp from Hero Arts called, "Little Girl With Heart". Isn't she adorable?? I used Copics to color the image and the papers are from Authentique's Free Birds Series called the Nest - Endless & Fair Weather. I also used Martha Stewart's Pinking Scallop border punch. I didn't have pearls to match so I pulled out some plain white and colored them with coordinating Copics to ensure the perfect match. Another reason to {heart} your copics!!

Recipe:
Punches: Pinking Scallop Border Punch (Martha Stewart); Stamps: Little Girl With Heart Cling Stamp (Hero Arts); Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko), Copics; Nestabilities: Classic Oval (Spellbinders), Classic Scallop Ovals (Spellbinders); Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Card Stock, Buckaroo Blue Card Stock (SU!), Authentique Free Bird Series - Nest - Endless & Fair Weather; Other: Ribbon (SU!), Pearls (Hero Arts)
