Birthday hug

A card for a beautiful young lady, my niece Lise Beate on her 21th birthday.

For her this time I have made a tri-shutter-card. Inspiration and template is found on Norma's gorgeous blog 

Here I have used two of the new Tilda stamps from the summerstampclub 2015.
I don't know their name yet, but they are really some of the cutes little darlings.
They are colored with copic markers.

I have also got a new (to me) dies from Magnolia doohickeys with filmstrip, that can be seen in the left upper corner in purple.
Dies from Spellbinders, Magnolia doohickey and someone else.
Lovely paper from Pion design.
Flowers from WOC and bling from my stock.

In some countries they use key as a symbol for the 21st birthday, and I have added one here.
Not really sure why that symbol, but a fun embelishment to add anyway.

Before and now

I have seen some other peopels photos of the start of their coloring skills and how far they are now, and I thought it would be fun to track down one of my first coloring projects.

Here is one of my first Magnolia stamps with Tilda that was colored in 2009, and by side the same one I colored yesterday. So fun to see that I have improved a bit.
I would also now say thank you to the wonderful ladies that make tutorials on how to color with copics, that has become my favorite coloring now days. I am learning new things every day and see new ways to make the shadows more real.

Thanks for you visit
Love to see you soon again.
