Gorgeous card and using an image from Mo, my favorite images to use. Just managed to buy two of her stamps when I was away, so I will enter this challenge and have a go at winning 3 Mo images (Great stuff).
Have a nice Saturday Dorcas, Debbiexx

Hi Dorcas, that is such a sweet card! Love that image coloured on kraft paper and the DP makes it such a cheerful and happy card!
Thanks you for your sweet comment on my baby card. I appreciate your concern for my friend on the subject of the stamped images she gave me, but I beg to disagree. I would be a different matter is she would sell the images and make a profit out of that. That is not the case here, nor is there a swap going on. In this case I would compare it to a book I have bought and lending that out to a friend to read. There is nothing illegal about that either. On the other hand I totally agree on the angel policy for digi stamps. If I buy a digi stamp I would never hand the image through to another person. I realise it is all a narrow line on what is or is not proper, but I do believe that as long as it does not happen on large scale (like f.i. in the swap clubs you see nowadays), there is nothing wrong with this and I also think that there is no legal way of stopping this.
Have a great weekend, hugs Frea

Your card is a sweetie. Love your work on kraft. You are a specialist in coloring on Kraft. Last week I gave a link to your blog to one of my followers. She asked me a tutorial about coloring on Kraft. And because I'm just a starter with that way of coloring on Kraft I gave her your link.
She was very happy with your tutorial.
So, please go on inspirating us.
Hugs Marianne

What a super amazing card! I am always telling you how much I love your coloring; and each time I see your work makes me want to try coloring on craft with my prisma's. Not quite there yet but I do like to drool over your work:0)You always know exactly where to add those great buttons.

ADORABLE!!!
This card is so cute! I had to look up the sentiment - now I know, what it means ;-)
It´s so fascinating to me that you always find a matching sentiment!
To me this image is very, very cute, but I don´t think that I would have ever found a proper sentiment and a intended purpose for this card! -->Fascinating!
Have a nice week, Dorcas!

Dorcas, finally got a chance to stop by and thank you for joining us this week and being our guest designer! Absolutely fabulous job and I really love your coloring on the kraft paper! Adorable little button too oh and that sentiment is too funny! Matches perfectly...lol!

Had a look at you coloring pencils post and I had no idea about the Lyras pencils...I use Prisma. The only thing I don't like about the Prisma is they break alot while sharpening and the point doesn't stay...I may have to find the Lyras and give them a try! :D

Big Hugz,
xx Tracey xx

Shanna Shands said...

OMGosh I love your coloring. I have Prisma pencils but I have yet to try and color with them!

Grenouille Greetings said...

I so wish I could get the hang of colouring on Kraft with pencils. I tried it a couple of time but I just can't seem to make it work. You do such a marvelous job, Dorcas! This is no exception and your paper and design are lovely too! Hugs, Lesley
