Coloring??

So, as I have been inspired by so many in blogland, I have become more and more interested in stamping and coloring.  So many of my favorite cards have beautiful stamped images colored in with Copics or Prismacolor pencils.  I got this cute little stamp set called Zoo-licious at Michael's to practice my coloring.  I really really want to get some of the Lawn Fawn sets (I love them so much!!!), but want to practice with some less $$ sets first!  I think I pretty much suck at the shading, but I think it's not too too bad.  I made this cute little card to send to my friend Nicole who is expecting her second baby in August.

I would have liked the Distress Ink around the edges to color the whole background, but I don't know how to do that without paper piecing the stamps (and BTW, I pretty much hate fussy cutting--that's why I have a Cricut!). Oh well!  I think it came out okay, for the first one.  Until next time, I'll be in the scrap room experimenting with more stamps and pining over those adorable Lawn Fawns!
