For this card I stamped the image with Brilliance Graphite Black ink and colored in using a combination of Copic and Prisma Markers. I've decided that I like them both. They behave the same and each have their benifits. For really small narrow spaces I like the fine point that the Prismas have. For broader sweeps of color I like the brush the Copics have. I do like the lighter colors I have been able to find with the Copics. The Prismas seem bolder. One thing I have discovered with both, but especially the Prismas is that you need to give them time to "cure". I have several images that I didn't really like how they turned out as soon as I have finished them, but if I come back sometime later they are softer and much nicer. (Once again I am faced with that patience stuff!).
This card is a Z-Fold card. It is very easy to do. Simply make your normal 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 side fold card and then fold back the front of the card on
Just a few more details the Card stock is Old Olive and so is the Designer Paper.

LOVE the card. However, I did NOT need to be introduced to ANOTHER new stamp company!!!! ;)
I'm glad Lee had a good suggestion for you about uploading your cards, Suzanne. I was having trouble with Facebook the other night too - it must have been sunspot activity causing computer glitches all over the world!! Or something.
I do love this card. It's great to have your thoughts on how you made it and what you used as well! thanks for that. It's very effective with the way you stamped the sentiments and placed the main image - which is super cute, by the way :-)
so cute! great job!
