Lost without you...

Hey, hey! 

I've had some time to ink up a few more scenes using stamps from the Great Outdoors release at Hello Bluebird and yesterday I colored up another one. The main characters in this cute woodland scene are from the Which Way and Banner Bear sets. I thought it would be sweet for the birds to be watching the raccoon eating a cracker, like they are waiting for him to share a few crumbs. Building the rest of the forest scene around them brought together stamps from both old and new sets. The trees came from the Picked for You and Country Roads Background, while the sign is from the In the Pumpkin Patch set, though I did alter it to a blank sign by wiping the ink from the original text before stamping. The butterflies and flowers both come from the new Summer Joy set and the sentiment that I added to the sign is from the new Trail Sign Sentiments set. Once the scene was all colored up I used the Ric Rac Card die and Ric Rac Frame Die to give it all a nice decorative edge. I hope you are having as lovely a summer day as these little critters are.  :)

Have a good one!

Feeling Salty...

Hi there! 

Here's another card that I colored during a Live on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page not too long ago. This one features a rather snooty looking mermaid from the new Mermees So Emotional set at Sweet November Stamps. She is joined by a silly looking fish from the older Mermees Emotions set and some coral from the new Sea Babies set. I love how the red hair compliments the deep blue tail that was suggested from my fellow crafters, she's definitely am eye-catcher. We also went over techniques like creating the sun rays and bubbles by hand. I added the sentiment after the Live and it is from the same Mermees So Emotional set. 

Stay salty my friends! ;)

Hey there!

A couple weekends back I did a Live coloring for the mini summer release at Stamping Bella over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. During that Live we colored the new Oddball Lady Liberty stamp into a 4th of July scene complete with a city skyline in the background. We colored in the night sky then used a white pen to sketch in the sparkle of fireworks on display. As the holiday weekend approaches, this card is a fun way to commemorate the big 250 anniversary. :)

Toodles!

Good morning!    

So, I played around a bit with the Bottoms Up stamp from the new Sunshine and Daydreams release at Purple Onion Designs. The original image shows a kitty in a wine glass with a cork and cork screw at its base. Because I preferred the idea of the kitty playing in a flower vase I omitted inking up the bottom half of the stamp and added some flower stamps around it on this faux post card. Now this mischievous kitty is telling a slightly different story, adding to the versatility of this cute image.  The sentiment is an older marquee sentiment that unfortunately looks to be retired now.  :)

Have a great week!
