Fairy Special Day...

Hi there! 

The Fairy Special set from Whimsy Stamps is another new set that I just got this week and I couldn't wait to ink it up. These wide eyed fairies are so cute and immediately caught my eye when they were released. There are two included in the set and I started with this little gal flying off to the right. I colored her in pretty purpley pinks with a crown of daisy flowers on her head and she looks just as sweet as can be. The butterflies and sentiment are also included in the Fairy Special set and they were all I needed to add to complete this magical spring scene. :)

Toodles!

A good friend...

Olo!

I just got the Library Card from Pink and Main and I knew right away that it would provide the perfect backdrop for the cute critters in the Book Buddies set from Hello Bluebird. I started by stamping the owl and badger then masked them off before stamping the Library Card over top. Next, I masked off the card and stamped the Old Oak Background over the entire card front. I wanted it to look like the Library Card is resting on a table top so I used some grey tones around the edges to create a drop shadow before coloring in the wood. All I had to do after that was color in the critter friends and add a sentiment from the Book Buddies set to complete this sweet card.

Laters!

Hey there foxy...

Hey there!

This darling fox is from the CC Designs Foxes set and I thought he would be perfect in a spring forest scene. The stamp is on the smaller side so I used one of the smaller sizes deckle dies to create my canvas. This gave me just enough space to hand color in some bushes and trees surrounding this cutie. I played with the light filtering in through the trees with all the greens and browns and let the orange of the fox and little yellow butterfly pop. When it came time to embellish the card I added some yellow flowers to tie back to the butterfly. I also like how the textured wood grain card stock base matches back to the trees in the scene.

Thanks for stopping by!

Go with the flow...

Good morning! 

The April Sweet November Stamps newsletter was emailed out Saturday night and the subscriber free digi is getting us ready for all the MerMay fun that is about to begin. I sneak peeked Nerissa during my Saturday Live on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. Before we even got to the coloring I asked what type of scene we should put her in. Under the sea won the vote so I masked off Nerissa and stamped the Under the Sea Background Builder along with the tiny octopus from the Go with the Flow set. Once we had our story it was time to add all sorts of fun colors to the scene. Oh, and in case you missed it... there is a big pre-MerMay sale going on through April 30th, all mermaid clear stamps are 45% OFF and all mermaid digi stamps are 60% OFF. All of that to help you not miss out on the fun next month. ;)

Have a great week!

Extraordinarily happy...

Hello again!

It's a review at Sweet November Stamps and I was feeling like inking up the Spring Window again. This time I chose the excited little guy from the Postage Pals: Landscape set and the pudgy guinea pig to keep him company. After stamping the plant and guinea pig I masked them off and stamped the boy slightly higher up in the window so I wouldn't lose his hands behind them. This left a bit of space that I drew in by hand completing his shirt and his pants. I borrowed the sentiment from the Extraordinarily Happy set because it seemed to match this little cutie's energy.  :)

Thanks for popping by!

Big birthday wishes...

Hello!

It's Scenic Saturday on the Bellariffic blog and today we are celebrating a birthday with the Mini Oddball has a Present and Mini Oddball and His Frogs.

I wanted it to look like this cute pair have arrived at a party with their gifts in tow so I stamped Mini Oddball and His Frogs first then masked him off. Then I stamped Mini Oddball has a Present so that she slightly overlapped. Once I removed the mask she now appears to be standing slightly behind her brother. I also masked the party hat so that I could stamp the party streamers hanging on the wall behind them both. A simple white wall and wood floor for them to stand on and this party scene was complete. Hopefully the birthday kid really likes frogs, LOL! 

Stay crafty my friends!
