Hello weekend crafters! I have a CAS card to share this morning. This card was inspired by the MFT sketch challenge and the AYLI stamp challenge. I love using clear stamps! I find that clear stamps are easier to manipulate than the digital. Perhaps if I had a good paint progam, that would change my mind; but, for now, it’s clear stamps that win. This little girl from MFT Unicorns and Glitter was stamped with Ink on 3 and colored with Prismacolor pencils. DD15 stamped and colored the image. I used MFT Homespun Stich Lines Die-namics to add the “lines” to the background. The sentiment is stamped with Distressed Ink Blueprint Sketch and the flowers were hand-drawn to match the flowers on the girl’s veil. Thank you for stopping by!

Have a Magical day!

Happy “Hop” Day, crafters! I little white rabbit to start your morning, provided by Stamping Bella’s Oddball Collection. My Copic coloring on him was truly very simple. I placed shading with a C1 first, then glazed over the areas with either pink or red. The borders are blended Copics in R27 and R85. All the colors used were: C0,C1,R00,R20,R27,RV63,R85 and a Prismacolor silver for the waatch.

“The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.”

Oh, Gnome……. Is it snowing? This poor little gnome is being snowed on just when he thought winter was over (he lives in Texas). This card was initially inspired by the current Fusion card challenge. However, by the time I finished, it fulfills the challenges for both the LawnFawnatics challenge and the Double Trouble Paper Crafting challenge. The background paper has the outlines of the door and cabinet insets similar to the Fusion Challenge background. Clearly, the gingham hearts and gnome fit right in, along with the banners. The center flag was fashioned after the “brick” that states, “you are so loved.” The card is embellished with snowflakes, Spectrum Noir glitter pen, glossy accents, and a little embossing with Emerald Creek’s Black Cherry embossing powder and Versamark Onxy Black ink.

Have a night like gnome other!

Good evening, crafters! MFT has a sketch challenge that was too fun to pass up! I used their radiating rays stencil along with Tim Holt’s Antique Linen, Tattered Rose and Dusty Concord for the background. BB Adorable Elephants with some simple copic coloring and glossy accents finished the card.

Keep smiling!

Welcome, Weekend Crafters!!! I have for you today a little girl and her doll taking a stroll through the park. I’m not sure what I will use this card for, perhaps Mother’s Day? This card was inspired by the lovely people over at Double Trouble Paper Crafting along with Allsorts Challenge.. Momenta’s Intricate Heart Tree was used to create my background. Craftin’ Desert Diva’s “Happy Girls” stamp set provided my image. She was stamped with Momento brown ink and colored with Copic markers. I paper pieced the carriage using wicker card stock along with Prismacolor pencils to add some dimension. I added some small embellishments with a red gel pen (the polka dots), White Nuvo drops (look carefully, she is wearing a pear bracelet), Irrredescent heart sequins (the wheels of the carriage), and a red heart (center of the hairbow).

Have a fantastic evening, everyone!

Copics used: E50, E51, W0,W1,R85,G12,100,E55,E57,E59

Prismacolors used: Burnt Umber, Mustard, Sepia, Gold

Good Morning, crafters! It’s a pastel heart sort of morning. I cannot help but think of this cute Rosie and Bernie stamp by Stamping Bella anytime I think of hearts of Valentines Day. I stamped the image with Versafine Onxy Black Ink on some Strathmore colored pencil 80lb paper. The sentiment is from a retired MayMayMade It set and stamped with Versafine Ink as well. Rosie and Bernie were colored with BlackWidow pencils. A yellow gel pen added the polka dots to the dress. Nuvo drops in rhubarb crumble were used for the heart ears. A little bit of Spectrum Noir clear was used on Bernie’s horn and hooves along with some white metallic watercolor for his mane. The background is done with pencil shavings.

Happy Weekend, crafters! I created this card for a Fabulous Friend this week. Although I craft for my family, I enjoy sending happy mail to my friends. The card was inspired by SSS’s Wednesday Challenge this week, Anything Goes featuring Stamping Bella. I adore the Oddball stamps from Stamping Bella and received a complete Alice in Wonderland set for my birthday last year. The Mad Hatter is just too cute. I made him a bit more festive using bright colors, like Disney’s 1950s animated version. The sentiment is from Kindred Stamps Tea Friends. I used Strathmore colored pencil paper and Versamark Onxy Black ink to stamp my image and sentiment. I then used white charcoal pencil and a combination of Prismacolor and Black Widow pencils to color the Mad Hatter. The inked shading is Lime Rickety from Catherine Pooler.

A very merry unbirthday to you!

Hello colorists! I saw this dragon coloring page and just had to color him. I am really enjoying the BlackWidow Monarch set of pencils. The page was printed on Grey Tone paper and colored in the pencils shown. White chalk was used prior to coloring to help with the shading. I added the sentiment YIKES from the Kindred stamp set “All The Feels” with some Ranger white embossing powder.

Happy Hump Day, y’all!

Is it too early for Christmas? I hope not. This is a completely Lawn Fawn inspired card. It is fairly clean and simple and truly easy to make. Lawn Fawn’s stiched rectangle die and hill die were used for the sky and snow. Fast and easy white embossing of the tress and snowflakes give a simple and tailored scene. The sentiment is embossed in Candy Apple red embossing powder. The Lawn Fawn sets used were Holiday Helpers and Snow Day.

Enjoy and stay safe, y’all!

Good morning crafters! A little bit of lavender to start the day. The great group over at AAA card challenge’s current theme is a single layer with a silhouette. So, I thought of this little fairy tending to the flowers. The flowers were done with an embossing folder tinted with Milled Lavender ink. The fairy is a stamp from my stash that was inked with Ink on 3 and then colored with Prismacolored pencils to get a silhouette. The sentiment on the bottom is stamped in Milled Lavender as well. Fairy simple to make! 😁

Have a fairy good day, y’all!
