So of course I was very excited to get to play with this new collection of stamps and have been coloring like crazy! Here is a Set of Drawers card that I made to share with you here today. 

 

 



I immediately grabbed the Angelica stamp set to color first.  I stamped the image out onto some Ultra Smooth Premium White Card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  I colored this little sweetie with my Spectrum Noir markers.  She was a delight to color!  Here are the Spectrum Noir markers I used.



 

 



After coloring her, I pulled out my copy of The Ultimate Advanced Construction Techniques DVD and let Sara walk me step by step through the fun and easy to follow directions on making this card.  It might look complicated but it is really very easy to make. If you don't already have this DVD you need to get it!  It is loaded with step by step instructions for several awesome projects.

 

 



I really tried to make this card extra special because my daughter has her birthday this week and I am going to give it to her.  The little drawers are just the perfect size for a gift card, candies or other little goodies.  I think she will be very excited to get it.
