Hey friends! It's Friday (yay!) That means it's Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps, and this one is a cutie!
This image is called Sitting Cute, and he is available all week until next Friday, so don't forget to pick him up for your collection if you haven't already. I could NOT resist coloring this guy up, so the alcohol markers were put to good use again. During my coloring, I discovered that I need to purchase another mocha light Prismacolor marker, as mine is drying up! I was struggling to get nice coverage using the bullet nib, so I decided to try the chisel tip...thankfully, that worked! *whew!* For the rest of the image, I didn't bother with much shading. I cut the image panel with a Spellbinders square die, and then cut another in the next size larger and colored the edges with the same red marker I used on the image so it would be a perfect match. The background was created using Deco Foil transfer gel, a dark blue Heidi Swapp Minc foil, and a Rabbit Hole Designs stencil that I think is retired. The name isn't on the packaging, and I didn't think to label it, so if anybody knows, please tell me! I love how it turned out, but boy is it a devil to photograph! The "hi" sentiment die is from Recollections, and I cut it 3 times from a scrap of Recollections 110 lb. white and glued them together. Once they were glued, I took that same red marker and colored the stacked die cuts on the top and sides. After adhering it to the foiled panel, I added Glossy Accents to make it stand out even more from that shiny background. Another cute all-occasion card for my stash!

Awwww, so cute and your coloring is awesome Marie, even though your marker is going dry. Can you purchase refill solution for Prismacolor markers?
