You're Truly Amazing

I found this fun digital stamp, Glasses on My Nose by Krista Smith in my folder of printed images and thought it'd be fun to color her up and get her on a card.

I think this image looks so similar to my daughter. I was smiling the whole time I was coloring and creating. I did giggle though as when I was putting the card front onto the card base I put it upside down from what I had in my mind. It still works but it just wasn't what I had envisioned. 

I think this is the first time I've attempted to color a wallpaper. It's crooked but I think it turned out kind of fun and funky!




Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Seas The Day

I thought it would be fun to create a card from each of the TOP Inky Inspiration Sketches that Crystal Minkler puts out in her Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration group. I've used her sketches often but haven't started at the beginning and worked my through them all.

Today I have used Sketch 16~
I used the Oceans of Love stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie since I found these images already colored up in my stash. 




Have a fabulous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

You've Got Mail!

I recently found an envelope full of partially colored images that I had used for videos showing how to create texture, use stencils on images, etc. I decided in the spirit of using my stash that I would work on getting those images onto cards!

The first images I used are the cute quokkas from the Valentine Quokka stamp set. So super sweet and cute!!

I am excited to get these images onto cards and also excited to use the digital stamps I had already printed out that I also discovered!




Have a sweet day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Challenge #4- Green | Tiki Gnomes

Today starts Challenge #4 in my Facebook group. Challenge #4 is a color challenge: Use Green!! I originally thought about making St. Patrick's Day cards, and I still might, but then decided to show some other "green" you could use.



I went with a Tiki theme for these cards to show that green is more than St. Patrick's Day!



I think the Build A Booth is one of my favorite dies from Jaded Blossom. It's just so versatile!




Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
