It's been so long, I'm not sure I remember how to do this.
I'm averaging a whole 1 card a year these days, so here it is,

It's colered with prismacolor pencils on watercolor paper.

Hey there people of blogland,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has it been cold where you're at?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been arctic in Kansas these past weeks!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I finished this card up back in February but I never posted the photos. I think now is probably the right time of year to share it, though I confess, this is quite old lol!!</div>

I stamped this extremely precious Sylvia Zet image called Berry (find her at Whimsy stamps!!) on Arches watercolor paper and painted her with distress ink pads.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that might still have me on your feeds and readers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after all this time!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seems I can't manage my time very well lately</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have been on a bit of a crafting hiatus. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alas, I have returned to wish my crafting buddies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a very scary halloween</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and share a project that has been in the making</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am definitely out of practice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as far as blogging details goes, but I will try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted the image with distress ink pads and pieced the image together with foam dots then distressed and inked my papers (sorry i don't know who produced these) and added bits and bobs here and there. Oh yes, that nondescript run-down will certainly help... The sentiment is manufactured by Stampendous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I hope whoever may be reading this is going to be having a lovely Hallowe'en tomorrow and it enjoying the lovely fall season!!</div>

I've used one of the images from the oh so cute JUST FOR YOU set released today for the 2 Cute Ink collection at Whimsy Stamps. I've challenged myself to do a clean and simple card and here it is!!! Fighting back those feminine inclinations to slather on the layers and add flowers, pearls and laces is a tricky situation. Even as I look at this, I want to add rhinestones and laces. But I must stay true to the challenge and let this little inchworm do the talking :)</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">I've painted in distress inks and gone with a little boys birthday sort of a feel to it, a very versatile set if you choose to play down the hearts, I sure do love me those multi-use images!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I've also used the new <a href="http://www.whimsystamps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=2299&zenid=9af17ad374eb2e287ab5c51b3e4b9a6d">Balloon Cluster Die</a> designed by the amazing Ann Vento!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Again, my photography is lackluster, don't let it distract from the cuteness of the stamps hehe.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Once again, I need to refer you to the Whimsy Inspirations blog for a full list of participants in our mini blog hop. I am now working a day shift (awesome!!!) so I'm not around to update lists and the like as I once was.</span></div>

I used the darling <a href="http://whimsystamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19_42&products_id=2119">Ruby</a> designed by Sylvia Zet, she's coloured in distress inks and her outline was done in Promarker. The papers are Basic Grey. I have also used our <a href="http://whimsystamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19_3&products_id=2007">Spell It Out</a> letter set by Ann Vento to spell out the little ladies name who this card is for. Yes, her name is Ruby and she will be 5 on the 11th, so I know your mom won't let you online, but Happy Birthday Ruby!!!</div>

Hi there and welcome to Whimsy's final October release day sample blog hoppity hop day thingymabobber!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm posting this a little on the early side, just to make sure it actually goes live, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so for up to the minute intel, please refer to the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://whimsystamps.blogspot.com/">Whimsy Inspirations Blog</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for a full list of designers samples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At long last, I have a sample to share using snazzy Whimsy <a href="http://whimsystamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=57&products_id=2134">Card Toppers</a>, these ones are illustrated and coloured by Crissy Armstrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRHWNTSfD0Lt2nXdYr7H2EJq4ZMtww7AcezdO_yTq8oBJvTEsmhhvYbVy0TRE3ZukQ_OGigqKCJkbpGJkD0-fqLgqqHE8KWzHl7ha0Mt0zq9AKiSsaPfe3PbqR5gnIdDt_Vtt6j1QXkXGm/s1600/IMG_4766wm.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRHWNTSfD0Lt2nXdYr7H2EJq4ZMtww7AcezdO_yTq8oBJvTEsmhhvYbVy0TRE3ZukQ_OGigqKCJkbpGJkD0-fqLgqqHE8KWzHl7ha0Mt0zq9AKiSsaPfe3PbqR5gnIdDt_Vtt6j1QXkXGm/s320/IMG_4766wm.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The papers are Basic Grey and the little goodies are from my stash!! Perfect solution to that "Oh crap, Christmas is right around the corner and I simply do not have time to make everyone on my card list something!!!" problem we all face!! I feel disappointed in myself when I have to turn to Hallmark, and having such gorgeous precoloured images on hand will make card-making this season go by a little bit smoother!! I love to colour, of course, but I quite literally take HOURS to colour, so this helps out a ton!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prayers to my friends on the east coast!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hugs, stephanne</div>

Yummy flowers, right??!?! Oh yes, I have just gotten a delivery from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/us/">Wild Orchid Crafts</a> the other day and could hardly wait to play with them!! I was ever-so-lucky to win a WOC gift certificate, so many thanks to WOC and <a href="http://kylieskraftroom.blogspot.com/">Kylie,</a> the hostess of the prize!! Perfect timing, as I was needing some more floral gorgeousness!!</div>

And those little snowflake cut-outs that I've added onto the snowy scene, well, they are the little cut outs from the <a href="http://whimsystamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30&products_id=2067"> Ornaments Border Die</a>. An excellent second use for this die, as I have purchased many snowflake punches and dies, MANY, and all seem a little too big and bulky for the images. Not these!!! These are PERFECT!!!</div>

When I got my greedy little mitts on these sweet Christmas Magnolias I preordered from <a href="http://www.stampandcreate.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_324_375">Stamp and Create</a>, I IMMEDIATELY started painting. Then..... then I painted some more and abandoned them!! How dare I?? Alas, Cocco has finally been given a home with this months gorgeous sketch from CLP!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
By now, I suppose it goes without saying that I painted in distress ink pads, the papers are Basic Grey, gems are Prima, sentiment is by Raindrop Echo Designs for <b>Whimsy Stamps</b>, find these Winter Letter Seals <a href="http://whimsystamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19_3&products_id=612">HERE</a>, flowers are a mixture of WOC and I Am Roses, I used a Martha Stewart branch punch and the Magnolia Doily Doohickey. See that little charm!! Got that with my order from <b>Stamp and Create!!</b> Thanks Lacey!!</div>
