(If you think I've forgotten you because I haven't been to your blog lately, that's not the case. There seems to be another issue with Blogger and although I tried I was unable to leave a comment at many of the blogs I tried to visit. I've visited, just left no tracks. :-)
(edit: one of my wonderful followers suggested that i switch to Chrome[yes I'm way behind the times] and it totally solved the commenting problem. YAY!)
Well, I've been at it with the Prismas again. LOL I can see it's going to take me a while to get the hang of shading with them. :-) Dorcas!!! I need your know how. LOL I used Bristol paper on this card instead of the kraft I've used before.
The adorable image is from the new ADFD release this week and it's called "Book Buddies" and can be found in the ADFD store.
I broke out a brand new October Afternoon 5 and Dime paper pad I'd bought a little while ago and used an old CLP sketch. I've been trying to really dig into my mountain of stash and use it up. Just staring at it and saying "Oh how pretty!" just doesn't cut the mustard anymore. I'm running out of room and when I think of all the money I spent...ugh--butterflies in the stomach. So it's going to get used up one way or another. I've had a jar of mixed Prima flowers sitting on my shelf since I first started scrapping and hardly ever use anything from it so I pulled it out and grabbed a mix of colors to put on this card.
The ADFD challenge runs for another week and the theme is pastels. Come join in the fun!
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Hi Tracy
I have been having the same trouble wit hblogger for some days now - really frustrating.
Your card is totally stunning and so much hard work has gone into it - the stitching and layers and such a gorgeous image.
Hugs Ali x
What lovely colours and the tabs and border look fabulous. Love it!
this is just gorgeous as always, Tracy. I love the pretty tabs you added in addition to the beautiful embellies you do so well.
I have so enjoyed being on the ADFD DT with you these past few months. thank you for your inspiration! I wish the very best for you!
This is stunning, Tracy! I just adore this design and all your detail. Everywhere you look there is something gorgeous to catch your eye. And wow on your coloring. I think your Prisma coloring is just uh-mazing.
THis is so lovely Tracy!! I love your lacy anchors at the top and your coloring is gorgeous!
As for prisma coloring on white paper, well to be honest it puts me in a cold sweat was well. lol I can use a much heavier hand with the kraft cos of the tooth that holds the pigment. When I color on my white paper I have to go so easy so it doesn't "burnish" the paper before I'm done adding layers. Ive yet to find the perfect white paper....
Yep! You've done it again! Create another fabulous card with such a pretty image, love your stitching; you are not only a prolific but totally talented card maker Tracy! Hugs, Ira x
This is soooo soft and lovely, Tracy! That "old" sketch was the perfect choice... gosh, can't take my eyes off this beauty! wendy xx
WOW!!!!!!!! absolutely GORGEOUS card!!!
Hi, Lovely card. I use copic paper when using Primas, any copic quality paper works good.
Also, did you know that if you use Google Chrome when reading blogs, you'll have an easier time commmenting? It works for me.
Thanks, Kim
What a beautiful card! I love the papers and the image is gorgeous. x
PS apparently there is an issue with Blogger at the moment and they are working to fix it. I've been unable to leave comments for Sweet Stampin' on a number of blogs. So don't worry, it's not you! xx
One word ... Stunning!!! ( and thanks so much for the birthday wishes) xo

O my I love this card. The image is gorgeous and the layout fabulous.
I think you've coloured it beautifully too - I am also still getting to grips with my prismas ( o I love them) and the hardest thing for me is shading around my image which you have done a great job with - well done x
