January Doodle Pantry Release Day!

Woohoo!  Hello 2013!  Not only is it New Year's Day, but it's also the new release day at Doodle Pantry.  As usual, Laurie has a wonderful selection of digital images, sentiments and papers for you.  I chose to create a card with the new Rose and Bud set - this image is only available in outlines right now, but I really enjoy coloring flowers the most.

Being in Texas, my mind went immediately to the Yellow Rose of Texas, so I had to do a yellow rose first.  Then, I thought I'd do a pink one as well.  I have to admit that I'm not the best at shading and am still learning.  After I finished coloring, my "shadows" looked wrong to me, but there you have it.  If you don't try, you can't improve, right?!

Don't forget that the Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge is back after the holiday break - the only requirement is to use a Doodle Pantry image on your creation.  EVERYONE will receive the Cupid Turtle set for free just for playing along plus be entered for a chance to win a gift certificate to shop in the online store.  The deadline to play is January 24, so go create something FABULOUS!

This month's free with purchase set is Olive You and the 35% off sale is still going on for a few more days (ends January 3)!  So, go check out all of the new releases for January and do a little shopping!
