thanks for stopping by...

Day 8 #thedailymarker30day

Well we're on day 8 already! Today I decided on a LLama from Honey Bee stamps haha I've done him a couple times but I've never done the cactus before...I did a little masking and made a front panel out of it...I'll crop it and add it to a card base later...It's great for one of those quickie cards we always seem to need!
I made a Booboo when I was stamping...I used archival instead of Memento it really didn't dawn on me until I was coloring :( but it all worked out in the end!

  thanks for stopping by...I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!

Day 7 #thedailymarker30day

So I wanted to try something different..haha like just coloring wasn't hard enough already! LOL anyway, I had seen a couple stamped images and the lady made them look like they had fur or they were fuzzy...
I used ink on 3 fadeout ink to stamp my image...I did it twice since I have a really hard time seeing the image if I don't...LOL

Now as everyone who teaches or does any kind of tutorial tell me I tried to keep my pencils sharp, that's easier said than done but at least now I know why they say keep it sharp. It does make things easier but I think I use too much pressure and always break my tip...yeah yeah I'm working on it LOL

Turns out I am just as bad with fur direction as I am with shadowing LOL But all in all I like how the coloring came out and the redrawn face on the brown kitty but the sad grey kitty has a huge nose 😳

thank you for coming by and reading my ramblings! 

Day 6 #thedailymarker30day

Here is what I was playing with this morning...its a digital image from a funky blog called wonder strange arts (just in case you were curious)you can find some really cool freebies there...I think they work great in my art journal!

I'm really thrilled with how this one came out...I used alcohol markers and colored pencils to try and get the right highlights LOL as I said try...I'm pretty easy to please it doesn't look so much like a flat image it had a bit of depth to it so all and all I'm happy!
I did use some Nuvo drops seashell on her jewelry and clear her eyeglass lenses so they are shiny!

thank you for coming by!

Day 5 #thedailymarker30day

Day 5 and I'm already feeling a little squirrely LOL I love this little guy he reminds me of the spaz's running around outside tormenting my poor dog..they are so much fun to watch.

one on the left I used Memento ink and alcohol markers with colored pencils the one on the right is archival ink and colored pencils with gamsol ...there are things I like and dislike about both squirrel but I really like the acorn on the right

anyway, thanks for coming by...

Day 4 #thedailymarker30day

I actually colored a few dinosaurs each with a slightly different color combo...its funny how the slight change changes the whole look...

so far I am having a blast in the latest 30 day coloring challenge...

thank you for stopping by!

Bugaboo Bingo

This is the image I colored this morning for the daily marker color challenge last time Kathy held this challenge I learn also I wanted to take part again but this time to actually make a card out of the images I colored LOL..I did make cards out of a couple of the others but most sat in a pile until recently!

so ....here is the card I made with this darling little lady from Bugaboo stamps..hehe I think I own all the digi's with any kind of cats or dogs in them...they are just too cute! and took part in the new Bingo challenge over at Catch the bug challenge blog!

 I did ribbon, die/punch and sentiment....but then I also did button, Bugaboo image, and sentiment.. it just happened to work out that way!

thank you so much for stopping by!

Bugaboo Bingo

I would say Happy Monday....but I don't think those exist LOL ... I thought I'd share the card I came up with using the bingo board from catch the bug
 we went straight across the top row  Sparkle, stitching, sentiment.....them we went on an angle sparkle, 2 images merged and embossing...

let's start with the sparkle and sentiment since they are one in the same LOL I used a Happy Birthday Die from Impressions obsessions, I cute the bottom layer with glitter paper for my sparkle...  the two  merged images are from Bigaboo stamps, Charlies birthday and candle cake, I thought they went well together I picked out my very bright pattern papers then colored my image to match using colored pencils..my stitching is kind of obvious on th square diecut ...I also used one of my favorite embossing folders, I just love the diamond design!

thanks for stopping by...Hope you have a fabulous week!

SSS 710

Happy Mother's Day!!! I'm very lucky I get to play most of the day but kind of sad that none of the kids are around! anyway...Stella Says Sketch Challenge #710 here is my take on the new sketch challenge over at Catch The Bug, I used the adorable digi stamps BUGUNIBEYOU from Bugaboo Stamps

I'm kind of a thrifty crafter most of the items I buy personally have to have a multi-function...I have a limited budget and space for all my craftiness LOL...So this card is a mix and match of all different companies...the digi is from Bugaboo stamps...the paper is DCVW...the butterfly die is lawn fawn and

 the sentiment is from an Altenew stamp set called Reason to smile, I really like this set!

 Thanks for stopping by....hope you had an awesome day!

I believe in you

I wanted to share a quick card I made using DCWV bright patterns stack and some really cute digistamps from Bugaboo stamps...this card was made for the anything goes chalelnge over at catch the bug and the DCVW may challenge on FB

isn't this unicorn just the cutest!

thanks for coming by....
