thinking of you...

I think I have finally, FINALLY figured out how to use my new camera {Nikon D5000} to take crisp and clear pictures of my cards.  You'd think it would be easy, but there are SO many new components that I have no idea how to use, or what they mean.  It's always a good rule of thumb to be at least 10% smarter than the object you are dealing with, so with that said - watch out New Camera!  I'm catching up to you!!

So here she is - a beautiful photo of today's little card.  Finally you can see that is indeed a felt flower and not just some sort of triangular glob.  Haha!!!  I'm amazed - you can actually see the fibers!  Ok, yes - I will calm down...

I really love the new set, Favorite Peeps, from Taylored Expressions - especially this little birdie, just hanging out, people watchin'.  I didn't want to make an Easter card today, so I paired it with a little sentiment from Celebrate Life.  The paper is Sweet Pea from Stampin' Up! and I thought I could try and get away with mixing 3 different patterns on one small surface.  Did it work?  It's difficult to tell from the picture, but I used a Gelly Roll glitter pen over the branch.  The image is colored with Copics and the sketch is Taylor's TESC104, I just flipped it on its side.  I really like the way this card turned out - it's pretty clean and simple with that pop of Teal. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back tomorrow - I actually have another post ready and cued up for you :D
