YNS Fun Friday: Color Challenge # 14

Hello everyone, Happy Friday!! I have a card to share with you all for the new Fun Friday challenge up over on the YNS blog. Normally, I always end up using the sketch, so I decided to switch things up and use the Color Challenge photo instead.

I merged my two critters by stamping my porcupine first and then masking off and stamping over with the fox. I stamped them on Crafters Companion kraft cardstock. I colored my images using both my Spectrum Noir Markers & Pencils.

Pattern Paper: Echo Park

Enamel Dots: DoodleBug Designs

 

YNS items used:

Woodland Cuties

 

Circles Die Set

 

Tree Trio Die Set

I am super excited for this months release because the stamps just can't get any cuter.

Valentines Day and St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, believe it or not and these stamps will showcase those holidays perfectly.

For both of my creations, I used the new stamp set Magically Delicious.

For my first card, I used Spectrum Noirs and Copics to color my image.

My Papers all came from different collections from American Crafts.

She is so stinkin' adorable just skipping across the grass with her little pail of gold.

For my second card, I used kraft paper and my Spectrum Noir pencils. I just love the look of these pencils on kraft. I added some random green apple glitter gumdrops, for some sparkle and shine.

 

This entire stamp set is just too cute for words!

Best time to spread Christmas cheer!

Hello everyone, Happy Monday! It's design team day for me over at the Timeless Twine blog. Through December 12th, the Twine-istas will be featuring some "Krafty" creations using the color Kraft.

I have decided to use one of the small brown kraft bags from the shop to decorate.

 

 

I also used some "Krazy for Kraft" Timeless Twine bakers twine.

 

I stamped my image and sentiment directly onto the bag using Memento Tuxedo black ink.

My image and sentiment are from two different Peachy Keen Stamp sets. I colored my image in using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils, because they are oil based they color really well onto the kraft. The white circles are made using embossing paste and a stencil.

I haven't quite decided what I am going to put in this little gift bag yet, but someone will be getting some goodies in it come Christmas time.

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!!

Thinking of You: Whimsy and Stars Studio

Hello everyone happy Thursday! Its a bittersweet day today as it's my last DT project for Whimsy and Stars Studio, the term has come to a close. I have been fortunate enough to create along side of some fabulous Ladies and work with such an amazing small business owner, Mabelle.

Our last project was just to create any project we wanted using any digi of our choice from the shop.

I decided to use this adorable little teddy called "Teddy's Flowers".

I used both my Spectrum Noir Markers and Pencils to color this little guy in.

My little picket fence is attached using some little metal hinges so it can swing open and shut to reveal this cutie to the fullest.

Thank you all for taking the time to stop by my blog, be sure to head on over to the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog to see what everyone else created.
