Hello!  I'm back with Day 6 of

May Them Week: Florals

I used Jessica - For You stamp set and colored her up with Copic markers.

Jessica - For You

Some colors I used

B93, B91, R30, Y23 and Y21

Y13, Y15, E33, C9, C7 and C5

BV31, E0000, E000, E01, E21, R20 and R30

This is a 6x6 card

I tried to embellish with as many roses I could

without going too crazy with it.

I also colored the white roses with Copic markers

E13 and Y15

to match her clothing, bow and roses in hand.

The design paper is from 

Penny Black: Coco Style 6x6 pad

I used the colors from the papers as a contrast 

to the colors I colored her with. 

Here is a close-up of the coloring.
I've been experimenting (as usual) with certain colors
and intensity of which ones I want to stand out more.
I made this card for a technology teacher
at my kids' school that is leaving to pursue
a medical career. She is always very nice and always
happy to help... We will miss her. 

I hope you liked the card.

Thank you for visiting. 
Have a great day.

SAT May Release Day 3 Holly Dreams

Hi and welcome to Day #3 of 

Stamp Anniething's May release!  

This month is all about being a girl and hanging with the girls, its also about pampering yourself a bit too!

Meet our newest stamp,

Holly, Sweet Dreams

Holly is available in the store NOW along with the other 2 stamps we show  you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is the project I made!

I first colored my image with Copic markers on 

100 lb Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock.

The hair is W9, W7 and W5

I experimented with the skin this time

I used E53, E11, E13, R21 and R30

I wanted to give her a light African American skin tone.

Next I stamped another Holly on 

Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper -fussy cut it

and place on top of my colored Holly

Then pretty much rub on some mini distress ink pads at random

but I chose sort of bright colors and try to blend at the edges.

After that I blended some black distress ink on the edges 

and very little in between the bright colors.

When I was satisfied with the night sky background

I removed the masking paper and colored up the edges

by coloring with W9 Copic marker

not too much clean up to do but there were

a few very white spots.

I then added the sentiment that comes with this stamp

which I die cut with one of 

My Creative Time dies

and added finishing touch by adding stars

with a white Sakura Gellyroll.

That's pretty much it. 

I kept this card simple like my previous cards

just adding some color to the background

with either a patterned paper or 

adding distress ink. 

Thanks for joining us for our May Release

 and have a great day!

Remember today is release day. Woot Woot!

Thank you for visiting,

SAT May Release Day 2 Lucille Relax & Enjoy

Hi and welcome to Day #2 of 

Stamp Anniething's May release!  

This month is all about being a girl and hanging with the girls, its also about pampering yourself a bit too!

Meet our newest stamp,

Lucille, Relax & Enjoy

Lucille will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we show  you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is the project I made!

I loved coloring Lucille I think it's the

cute little curly hair or that it brings

me memories of going to a spa. 

I colored her with Copic markers

E0000, E000, E21, R20, R30, BV01

The robe and the head towel were colored with 

different grays and greens in dots.

The paper is from an old DCWV stack I believe

since I don't have the cover anymore but

long ago I used to only buy that brand. Ha!

I made my card Clean and Simple

which is a little bit hard for me and

I would have fancied up my card more but

I imagine some spas would have lovely flowers

or decor the spa I have been going to 

for almost 7 years now... I don't recall seeing 

flowery wall paper in the rooms but that's because

I usually go in to get muddy. LOL  

 We start with super hot Mud bath which

is so relaxing on the body and nice the skin but you have to keep

drinking some cool lemon and cucumber infused

water to keep cool... While on the mud the attendant usually 

paints on some green clay mask on our faces

then you shower off that mud

and get into a jacuzzi with natural hot springs water... 

from there we either get a full body massage

or just get a blanket wrap to some soothing music.

I would rather not skip the full body massage though- that is the best. 

Aaaaaah so relaxing... I so want to go now

especially since I've been dealing with this

Sinus Infection or I don't know what it is... 

Actually for a moment there while visualizing being a 

Golden Haven I didn't feel like my head and face 

was going to explode...

Need to go back there very soon. LOL  

Maybe one day I will do the over night thing

but for some weird reason I start missing my kids

who on a normal basis drive me nuts. LOL   jk 

Anyway, if you are in the Calistoga, Napa Valley area 

I so recommend this place to enjoy and relax.

Golden Haven Hot Springs Spa and Resort

Thanks for joining us for our May Release

 and have a great day!

SAT May Release Paige Girls Night

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's May release!  

This month is all about being a girl and hanging with the girls, its also about pampering yourself a bit too!

Meet our newest stamp,

Paige, Girls Night

Paige will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we show  you  this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here is the project I made!

I colored Paige - Girls Night

as The Princess and the Pea

Just hand drew some funny looking mattresses

and hid a pea on the bottom right. :P

I've seen several short YouTube videos

but I couldn't find one I saw as a child

(I don't remember who made it) but that 

one was my favorite and my second favorite 

is the one from HBO's Happily Ever After series.  

Can you believe that I didn't fussy cut at all?

The background edges I used my mini distress ink

called Victorian Velvet. 

The sentiment is from Giselle - For a little princess

and honestly I don't remember where my crown stamp is from

but I used embossing powder.  As soon as

I figure it out I will update my blog.

Make sure you take a look at the other 

DT ladies that made cards with Paige - Girls Night

Thanks for joining us for our May Release.

Have a great day!

Thank you for visiting.
