I love the cute little Mimi stamps from Penny Black. They make me think of my little granddaughter, Taylor. Although she's not quite as "big" as Mimi is....I can see a lot of Taylor's sweetness in cute little Mimi.
This is a wood block stamp....I don't usually buy woodblocks anymore because of the storage space they require but I couldn't resist this cute one.
After stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Solar Crest cardstock I colored with lots of different Copics.
I actually stamped her and then cut her out. I don't know why....probably could have saved myself that step but initially I was going to mount her on some colored paper. That just didn't look right so I went back to putting this cute little gal on white to make her stand out. I cut the mat out with a Spellbinders die. The printed paper is from Imaginisce and I also used an embossing border from Cuttlebug.
I added a little Scattered Straw Stickles on the little bluebirds beaks and the flower centers. The sentiment was From Papertrey Ink's Fillable Frames #6. The rickrack border was cut with a Papertrey Ink die.
And 4 hours later she was done! OK, she didn't really take that long! LOL! And every second spent was total fun! :)
I heart Copics.
I hate Copics.
It's a love/hate relationship. A definite learning curve which I am still at the bottom of! LOL!
