You make me melt...

Today's card features Smokin' Hot by Saturated canary. Skin is one of my favorite things to color with Copics, so I loved coloring up this one. I also had fun making her hair sassy..lol
I am taking classes over at Kit and Chowder  on hair and skin. While I feel relatively confident in my skin coloring abilities, not so much with hair. I will just have to keep practicing. That is the fun of it anyway. I did like mixing colors on this one even if I did not manage to get the individual, realistic hair strands. It's still fun I think. I had fun with mixing the patterned papers here too. It was an overall fun card. I think this may just be hubby's Valentine in a few months.

What are you creating today?

Go Team!

Today's card features a cute image by Saturated Canary called the fan. A co worker really helped me out on a project at work and I wanted to thank her. The project is baseball themed and she is a total baseball mom so I bought this digi stamp just for a card for her. I also had that baseball patch for awhile and put it to good use layering up this flower for the card. I really wanted to stay with patriotic colors but not make it too over the top. I am happy with the results. She was fun to color and play with. I can see me using her again sometime. I would love to play around with different colors.

Paper Smooches Chubby Chums

I got this stamp set recently and was wondering what in the world I would do with it. I almost always do cards with people or just a sentiment, on rare occasion. I must say- I am having fun with these cheeky little critters. They are fun and quick to color and make for a cute little card. They always make me smile when I see creations with them.

I thought I would share what I have done with them so far...

The first one is the chick and I thought she was screaming for a cute little bow in her hair.
This card actually came together very quickly.

The next one is the adorable cow. I knew right away I wanted to do her in an unconventional color. I decided to give her some pretty blue googly eyes with lashes..lol and a bow as well.

TFL!! 

Any Walking Dead or Daryl Dixon Fans?

This card was fun to make. I got to play around with a bunch of inking and stamping to make the back ground papers. I also inked up the cheesecloth to distress and "dirty" it up a bit.
This zombie girl from Saturated Canary is super adorable. I was psyched to play around with unconventional skin color and make her look un dead. I also wanted a funky hair color and got inspiration from a Google search to do her hair a cool radioactive looking green color. I will probably color her a few more times in different color combos. She is one to play around with different effects.
She is called arrow zombie and can be purchased over at Saturated Canary. She is only open until August where she is going to close the shop. It is so sad :(    She is one my very favorite artists.

What do you think? Who is your favorite TWD character? I am not sure I have just one... I like many for different reasons.

                                                                   

Gorjuss- Ruby

This is my fist Gorjuss stamp and I am in love! I think I need them all now..lol Not really, but I do have my eye on a few of them at the moment. I see adding a few more to the collection in the near future. I mean, what is not to love, right? Just adorable.

So, I received this cutie in the mail yesterday and immediately inked her up. Squeeee! She was so much fun to color. She took me about 2.5 hours to finish, but it was worth it. I just cranked some tunes and went to coloring. I think I used a record number of Copics to achieve this look though. lol It was harder than I thought to try and keep her more muted and toned down. I usually go bright and vibrant. I welcomed the challenge though.

Do you own any Gorjuss stamps? If so, what is your favorite?

Welcome Lillee- Grey

My friend had her first baby and named her Lillee-Grey. She loves elephants and ended up doing the baby room in elephants and pink and gray. I knew I wanted to make her a card and personalize it. I saw this super cute digi on Mo Manning's Digital Pencil Too site called,I forgot, and knew it was the one that I HAD to use to make her card. This elephant makes me smile. What a cutie. Isn't the sweetest little thing? I really had fun coloring this little one up. I will have to find another use for it soon. :)

I love you more than Coffee...

And that is saying a latte!

heheheeh I love this new to me image from Mo Manning over at Digital Pencil Too. I saw this beauty on their Fb page late one night and had to do a little 2am shopping from bed by phone. lol Sometimes I love technology and sometimes it can be dangerous to be able to purchase something that easily. :)
I am sure a lot of you can relate. I love and I mean LOVE me some coffee and I know some other coffee lovers so this image was a must have for me. She was easy and so much fun to color. I really enjoyed myself. I am actually about to color her up again with a different color scheme. I can see me using this to make quite a few cards.

Doesn't she just make you want to smile? I know she does me. I love the sentiment that comes with her too. I am a sucker for punny sentiments.

Just Because...I miss your face!

I spent my Saturday cleaning up my craft space to make room to create. It is so good to be able to see the top of my desk and be able to get inky and scrappy. I am actually itching to color up another so it may just turn into a whole crafty weekend, Who needs to adult when you can just craft, am I right? lol 

This cutie is called " One of those Days" by Saturated Canary. Her stamps are my fav! She is closing shop at the end of August and that makes me sad. I have to buy up as much as I can before then. 

Off to get inky...have a great weekend!
