Lovely Lavenia...

Today I'm sharing Lavinia Portrait

drawn by Ms. Abigail Larson and sold in digital form at 

Simply Betty Stamps

This month we are showcasing some of our favorite

steampunk images in Betty's store.

I chose this one because it is so very versatile - not to mention gorgeous!

I chose to use a softer, feminine yellow & pink 

in contrast to the strength of the black.

This month over at Simply Steampunk Challenges we are revisiting some of our favorites...and since this just happens to be the astrological sign for moi...yeah, well, you get the picture LOL I had to play with her!

District 31...just for FUN!

Today, my friends, I have for you an image created by 

Betty of  Simply Betty Stamps 

District 31 inspired by The Hunger Games - 

which, by the way, I loved the books and I'm liking the movies as well, 

so it was a given that I purchase her!

I used my Silver Bullet Professional to do a Print & Cut 

and popped her onto some designer paper from the 6x6 pad

 Amy Tangerine by American Crafts.

I colored her with my Copics as follows:

Skin: E50, 000, 00, 53, 21, 93

Black Hair: C5, 7, 10 & 100

Green: G40, 24, 28

Blue: B01, 04, 06

The leaves were cut from the same green cardstock 

that is the base for the card and was also cut with my SBPro.

The flowers are from Michaels as well as the ribbons of stones aka bling!

She was so much fun to color!

Thanks for stopping by and spending a few minutes of your time with me today &

I hope you have a blessed and creative day.

Until later,
