my piece of paper

Hello!

Last fall I almost purchased this adorable stamp set "Let´s prance" from Clearly Besotted,
but at the last minute I changed my mind and I have regretted that decision ever since.

A few weeks ago Clearly Besotted had a sale...and now, here they are!

The trees come from another stamp set, "On thin ice" also from Clearly Besotted.

I have inked a very soft and subtle blue sky using Distress Ink, in Tumbled Glass,
behind the trees and the reindeer.

The reindeer and the trees are colored with Copic markers, I added some Stickles
glitter glue to the trees to get a snowy sparkle!

The "Merry Christmas" sentiment is also from the "On thin ice" set.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hi!

I have had so much fun playing with Mr. Dracula making both cards and tags.
This is my latest card, made with red details this time!

This super adorable vampire stamp comes from the "Dracula I compel you" set
from Whimsy Stamps.

I really like his little bat balloon/friend on the string! I colored the eyes a little bit different on this card compared to the tags and I like this technique better! Using the colorless blender made the red turn into blood shot eyes! And by adding Glossy Accents they look spooktacular! I also added a layer of Glossy to the bat as well!

All coloring is made using Copic markers, and lots of colorless blender!

Thank you for stopping by, wishing you a great week!

Hello!

Today I share a card, using a stamp I have used many times before, Uptown Girls "Victoria and Juliette" from Stampingbella. And I thought I´d share my work progress when making this card!

This was actually my coloring from day 14 of the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge, I was really pleased with how the folds on their dresses turned out so I decided to keep going and make a card out of my coloring! My idea for this card was to incorporate a circle...

At first I wasn´t sure if I was even going to keep their legs, but I decided to
keep going and color them!

I stamped the image again, this time on masking paper, to create a mask, but without their legs as I was putting the circle behind their torsos. I then cut out a circle using masking paper. 

Using Distress Inks I blended my circle, darker behind the girls and lighter
towards the edge of the circle.

As I didn´t cut every detail out in my masking paper, some areas were left white...

...I then filled in these white areas with Copic markers in similar colors!

I am really happy that I decide to save their legs!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi!

I have made some tags, using the cute vampire from the "Dracula I compel You" set
from Whimsy Stamps. I have had this pink idea on my mind and of course I had to make
it in red as well!

I tried to make him extra spooky by making his eyes really blood shot and then
applied some Glossy Accent to them! 

Not much coloring on Mr. Vampire except his cape, a little grey to his skin and
some color on his bat friend!

Where I did color, I used Copic Markers!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

When making this card I had soap bubbles on my mind! 

To make the bubbles I punched a hole in an full adhesive post-it note to use as a mask,
then using a blending tool, and very gently inked from the edges of the hole with
Distress Ink, yellow, pink and blue. I let the bubbles overlap each other.
I colored the dogs with Copic markers!

In each of the bubbles I stamped a tiny dog from the " Little Dog Agenda" set
from Mama Elephant. To finish off the card I stamped "Hello" to make the card
a bit more versatile to go with many occasions rather than a birthday card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi!

It has been quite a while since I participated in a challenge, so this week I am playing
along in the "for fun" challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!

Above is the sketch and below is my take on the card!

I have been playing with some of the cats from the "BB Cool Cat" set by
My Favorite Things for this challenge.

I never get tired of these cats, this is probably one of my most used stamp sets!

The cats are colored with Copic Markers. All these blank spaces can feel a bit
overwhelming but at the same time I like the Clean & Simple look!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
