Pink Cat Studio Lily & Billy Together Forever
Hi Friends!! You know. . .I have sooooooo many stamps and I want to buy more stamps but I feel I don't get to play with any of my old stamps because I keep buying new ones. I wish I could use them all and create cards all day long but well, that's not possible.
Today, I thought of buying a bunch of new stamps and I started to feel like I'm a little crazy because I have stamps that I bought 3 years ago. . .really cute ones and I haven't touched them for. . .3 years! LOL!! I think what I'm going to do is for every newer stamp that I play with, I'll create a card using an old stamp that I have. Let's all do that. . .okay. Let's play with our old stamps and give them some love too!!
Okay. . .now to my sweet Pink Cat Studio Lily & Billy Valentines card. I decided to create a card with this stamp image because it's almost Valentines. I think this card can be an all occasion card as well as Valentines card. I drew in the trees, grass, flowers, and butterfly to create a scenery. I actually did it last minute. . .it almost didn't work out because I already had started on coloring the background towards the center and had to squeeze in the tree image and flowers to the edge. Luckily it worked out!!
I colored my image using my Copic Markers and added a bit of Stickles to the flowers. That's about it.
Stop by Pink Cat Studio and check out all the fabulous stamps! They've go a lot of stamp sets for you to choose from and they're all super cute!!

Your cards just make me smile! Love this!! Oh so pretty!
And I've been trying to use my old stamps too!
Hi Maria, loving the vibrancy of colours and my favourite combo ! Clever doodling, i'm a scaredy cat when it comes to hand drawing on my cards :), Enjoy the weekend, love Katy x
Love your color combo on here, Maria. I just love the pinks, greens period. LOL!!! You're right about having to buy so much new stamps - can't use the old ones. That's one of the feelings I have been going through lately. Makes me nuts!!! I have this set, and I hope I can use it before VDay!!!!

Holy WOMAN!!!! You are SO talented.......Such rich colours, the layout, the everything!!!!! YOu never never cease to amaze me Maria!!!!
Sooo cute & as usual your color combos are fantastic!!!
Luv your idea about using old stamps & I also have lots of new ones that I haven't used yet & some that I haven't even cut out yet...how sad is that?!
Maria,
This is simply stunning!! It's like a smile on paper!! Very cheerful and cute!! You know i love scenes on my cards and this is too cute!!! I love it!
Hugs,

Beautiful card! I love the colors! And I can so feel where you coming from on the stamps! I have been "organizing" my stash and I have a million stamps I've never used... but I'm always so tempted to buy more. I am putting myself on stamp suspension for 3 months. Let's see how that goes! But I am allowing myself to buy tools and embellishments. I can't go cold turkey!
Regarding my lenses - I ordered a 75-300mm (it was cheaper than the 70-300mm because its old style... longer and heavier. I think the 70-300 you have is shorter and lighter, and double the price +!). I also got a 60mm macro lens. Believe me, I don't know anything about my camera either. So sad! I want to take a class, but just too much going on and the cost is usually very high. I have books, and I read alot of stuff online, but alas, I think my brain is just too full of school and work to absorb it! I can't wait til school is over! I hope to be able to use that brain power to learn the camera!!!
Great layout on this card, love all the layers and the colors. You are a very talented!!
This is so adorable! I love it! I love the card below too! Your coloring is so vibrant and perfect! WOW!
Wow-zers, so bright and happy, did I tell you I love your work!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very very pretty card!! All the colors really make it for a happy occassion! Great Job!
Hope you have a nice long weekend!
Hugs,Jodi =)
grrrreat card maria love these bright sunny colours
Your card is beautiful Maria! Your color choice is awesome and I LOVE your added scenery!
I'm guilty of not loving a few stamps also. I really need to apply your rule and use an older stamp for each new stamp that I buy.
