Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I am now back from my camping trip...I am dragging a bit trying to get things put away, cleaning, and homeschooling the girls..but I did manage to make an easel card early this a.m. for this week's Inky Impressions challenge.  As many of you may know, I was an Inky Impressions Inkette for quite a while and this summer they took a break.  While I am not on the team any longer, I wanted to welcome Nicole, Inky's Mama, back to the stamping world with a card for her challenge in her honor.  Welcome back Nicole!  I hope you have a successful and fun season with all the talented girls on the team. Nicole at Inky Impressions will be coming out with a new fall release soon.  I am sure they will be darling!!

For my card I used one my fave image from Inky Impressions Nickie's birdie that was released last year. I love this summery image and thought it would make a fun birthday card for my niece this month.


I added lots of sparkle, stitching, and and details to my creation. Nickie is colored with copics and prisma color pencils and gamsol. The background is inked and chalked.
