Peace out People!

So, here I am trying to get back into the swing of things with this awesome Image from Scrappers Delights!  I love the Anime characters as they are sooooo detailed and so expressive.  They are just a lot of fun to color and they host a lot of personality.

I colored this girl up on Sweet Sentiment Coloring Paper using my Copic Markers in the following colors:

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000 and R20 for her cheeks and eyeshadow

Hair: E49, E18, E39, E17, E13

Dress: V99, RV66, RV55, RV17, RV52

Eyes: YG99, G16, G000 and the black Multiliner from Copic in .05

The paper I used is from Unity stamps in their new paper line, which I'm so excited about.  It's glossy like a photo and oh so beautiful, it's totally what inspired the colors for this card.  The length of Satin Ribbon was sent to me from my friend, Margarita, and I tend to use it sparingly because I want to hoard it forever.  Seeing as it was the PERFECT shade for this card though, I just had to include it!  The sentiment I added is from Altenew. 

THanks so much for stopping by today, Please leave a comment, you never know when I'm going to choose someone to randomly win a prize!  

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. 

I do believe you all should join in the challenge and check out the Blog over at Scrapper's Delights! Here's the link: https://www.scrappersdelights.co.uk/challenge-blog?fbclid=IwAR217R-ILa_jFIMJpj92N6KvXyWXs_eUkQSolbcdvZWQb-jtfcgYHuOGYfE#/  (holy long link batman!)

A whole bunch of cuteness from Scrappers Delights!

Today I have a little something for everyone from the newest release at Scrappers Delights.  I've been busy making some of the cutest cards ever!!!!!! 

First up to bat is.... well, this adorable little batter!!!

I colored her up using my copic markers.  And placed her on a very simply laid out card using Doodlebug papers, some Nuvo drops, and a length of sheer ribbon. 

Next up is a girl after my own heart..... she's STUCK in an airport waiting for her flight.  If any of you follow my group on Facebook you know exactly how close to home this image hits! 

Again, I used my copic markers to color this sweet girl up.  She's doing exactly what I did when I was stuck last time, drinking coffee and reading a book, trying to keep a smile on her face.  I used papers from the brand new Doodlebug I <3 travel paper pad, some Nuvo drops, and a length of satin ribbon to bring this card together.  I also used Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo and a sponge to add some light tan around the edges of all the papers. 

Third, is the one I think is my most favorite of them all.... and the subject of my September Sweet Sentiment coloring class.  I present to you: Marigold!

This sweet little girl I think is super excited to go back to school!  Look at all of those amazing ringlets and that adorable little summer dress!  I colored her with my trusty copic markers and placed her on papers from the ned Doodlebug Back to School paper pad.  I also used flowers that I made bu hand using the sets from Heartfelt Creations.  I finished it off with a length of sheer black ribbon and a bunch of glitter all over those flowers! 

I really hope you loved everything you saw here today.  If you'd like to purchase any fo these Digis you can get them from https://www.scrappersdelights.co.uk/#/

A delight of a card!

Ok, so don't mind my pun in the title.... but I have a card for you all to see featuring a new image from Scrappers Delights!

I adore these anime style images, I'm not sure why, but they have always spoken to me!  I love the style and how fun they are, and plus, they lend themselves to bright colors and bold backgrounds.  You all know, that's my jam!  So, here's my card:

The background is simply made with a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks layered on top of one another and blended to make a soft transition.  After that I spritzed it with water and dabbed it with a paper towel.  Then I fussy cut the image out after printing and coloring it on Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper with Copic markers.  I added a sentiment and a few Nuvo drops for texture. 

I really had a lot of fun creating this card, and I can't wait to give it to a friend!  Hope you have an awesome week and I'll see ya all soon! Tootles!
