A little Bee

"Hello!"  That's what this little Bee is saying to you all.  Every once in a while I dust off my Faber-Castell Polychromo pencils and give them a go.  Today was that day.  Pencil coloring is just.... neat. 

Coloring an image with pencils is so very different.  I find it cathartic at times.  I mean this little guy was 5 layers of pencil coloring on Sweet Sentiment Premium coloring paper.  I love the effect that pencils have on the image.  It's soothing to me to take the time and watch it all develop.  

Ok now that you KNOW I'm totally strange.... I used Distress Oxide inks to make the background, also on Sweet Sentiment coloring paper, and an awesome stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs.  I then used Alphabet dies from Honey Bee stamps to cut out the word, and their A2 scalloped edge card die as well.  I then layered it all up and popped up the letters and the bee (He's from Stampers Delights!) with foam mounting squares.  I finished it off with some awesome ribbon that I found at the Dollar tree like FOREVER ago. 

This little Bee just makes me smile, I've made a lot of cards using him, and I still grin every time I color him.  I'm sure you'll see more of him in the future. 

I'm buzzing off to get another cup of coffee.  Talk to you all soon! Hugs and Toodles! 

Hello Mummy!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm obsessed with Egyptian mythology and history.  I just love all the tales that they wove and the vibrant and mysterious culture that they thrived in.  So, when given the choice to pick any image int he shop to participate in the Scrapper's Delights Blog Challenge.... well.... naturally I chose this awesome Mummy!!!!!!

I colored her up using my Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils on Sweet Sentiment Premium Coloring Paper.  I also made the flowers by hand using Heartfelt Creations Sweet Peony and Sunflower stamps and dies.  The flowers are tinted with Distress Oxide inks, as well as the background for the Mummy. The papers are just random scraps I had in my HUGE scrap tub, and the ribbon was from he dollar store.  

I had so much fun coloring this awesome Mummy Digi..... I mean, how fun.  I will admit that the sentiment is from the "Egypt" set from Kindred Stamps.
