Creating with a Digital Image

Again, I can't stress how much I am enjoying creating with digital images. I've been using them so much that I feel like I've been neglecting my stamp sets. 

But... the images are so darn cute!! 

Ok.. I haven't forgotten my stamp sets. I've been in my studio creating with more fun products including some great new stamp sets.  I'll be featuring many of these stamp sets along with some other amazing new product reviews in the New Year! 

The holidays have been so busy that it's hard to chop out a block of time to sit down and really create - I mean really create... like new fun folds, new techniques, all of that requires huge segments of time. Not to mention blogging, videos, and so, so , so much technical work - just to share a card idea with all of you. 

Don't get me wrong... I love creating and sharing, however I could use a technical guru to help me with all of the other aspects that come with sharing my love of card making. 

Since time has been so short and I still have a desire to create - it's just in me. I've been doing short sessions in my studio that give me just enough time to color a digital image and give it some quick placement on a card front. This way I still get a few creative moments in a day. 

So I size and print the digital designs that I love, quickly cut them into card size and place them in a folder that sits on my desk.  When I have a few moments I can color an image. The next time I have a few moments I can add it to a card front with any splatters and embellishments that I feel will make the card complete. 

So the card above is exactly the result of that. 

I used an image from RAM Stamps - Bunny & Guinea:Ladybug colored with Copic markers, and backed on green cardstock to match the grass. I added the green ink splatter ( water and ink ) and a few embellishments to add some interest to the card front.
