Do you believe in fairies?

Good morning Crafty peeps!

Today I have a fairy card for you all today. I used Kelsey - Believe from Stamp AnnieThing.

So I wanted to create a simple background scene for my fairy. I only used Copic markers except for a few details such as the eye lights, on the powder of the mushroom and on baby's breath of her flower crown-- for that I used a white Uni-ball Signo Angelic White pen and for the eyelashes and iris

I use a Copic Multiliner - black. 

Kelsey - Believe

Purples used: BV0000, BV000, BV02, BV31 and V0000

Yellows: Y02, Y11 and Y21, Y26, Y35 

Earth/Browns: E0000, E000, E01, E21, E25, E26, 

E31, E33, E34, E35, E55, E84, E87

Greens: G94, YG63, YG95 

I was going to make the eyes green and realized the last

time I colored this stamp I colored her as a blonde

with green eyes... so I colored purple

but as I was finishing I was thinking I should of stayed

coloring them green or maybe even purple.

I tried to cover up the blue with a hight purple but you can't even tell. 

Oh well maybe next time. I guess I have Tinkerbell on the mind 

haha. 

Here is a close up and you can really see

the "powder" effect with the white pen on the 

mushroom and I love how the baby's breath looks on

her flower crown to clean up and finish up 

uncolored areas.

I hope you liked the card. 

Have a fantastic day!

Hello Kitty Birthday with Megan

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a birthday card for you using Megan Glass.  

I had great feedback when I made another birthday card with Megan - Cupcake 

because I colored her hair with braids. Takes a while to create the braids

but so worth when you're done.

So here I used Megan Glass

I colored her with Copic markers.

I used:

skin: E11, B34, E37, E34, R22 and R30

hair: W9 and W5

Reds: R24 and R46

Blues: B21, B45 and B97

boots: W9, W7, W5 and W3

leggings: N0 and N2

The background paper is called Hello Kitty Ribbons

and it was a 12x12 sheet I got from Michael's open stock papers.

I fussy cut a Hello Kitty Head from the same paper 

and popped it up so it can look like a balloon.

The yellow dotted paper is from Echo Park and it's called

 Birthday Wishes

the small HB2U and balloon string dies 

are from CC Designs.

Here is a close up.

I hope you liked it.

Thank you for stopping by.

Roaring Twenties Tiana

Hi there!

I made this card using one of the newest stamps from Stamp AnnieThing called

 Lucille - Roaring Fun. 

I colored her with Copic markers

and with the intention of looking like Tiana from 

The Princess and the Frog.

The skin colors are: B24, E11, E35, E23, R22 and R30.

For the Hair I used C9, C7 and C5...  I used that C9

so much that it was too sticky... good thing I have replacement nibs

and a refill because the alcohol did not help with bad it colored.

Oh yeah and the dress I used YG00, YG05, YG06 and YG07 (YG07 

always gives me big blobs of ink :[ I'm going to to have to stop being a cheap-o

and just change that nib too)

My desk is so cluttered that I keep trying new colors out because I can't

find my other markers... well I like trying new colors but part of it

is because my desk is so messy. LOL Creative Explosion happens I guess....

The paper is from Die Cuts With a View and it's called The Magnolia Way

and I thought it was perfect to go with "Tiana." 

The dies are from Craftin' Desert Divas and 

from My Creative Time. I fussy cut the image and used C9 all around to get rid of 

the white showing from the edges of the paper and then

added a little bit of Wink of Stella to her hair band and dress band

when it was glued down. The I decided to use the sentiment

that comes with this stamp that says: Roarin' Fun

but I accidentally used my Memento Black ink

and realized this will not work with that paper so before it smeared

I tried to rescue it with embossing and then realized that it was frantage

as I embossed it. LOL    It looks nicer in person but I may die

cut a little piece of paper and just glue on top... not sure yet.  teeheehee.

So the last card I made with this stamp I kept thinking of

Charlotte La Bouff aka Lottie which is Tiana's best friend...

you can see it here with the August 2016 release and I also 

colored Paige as Princess Tiana over here with the February 2016 release.

I have so much fun coloring the Chibi Kids as popular characters

especially when I make cards for my kids, teachers, family and friends.

That's about it for this card.

I hope you got a chance to buy and play with a 

few of these cuties. 

Have a great day.

Let's do a sort of TIME warp dance with this release!

Rip Roarin' 20's fun Lucille!

Lucille is available in the store TODAY along with the other 2 stamps we showed  you  this week!!

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

Lucille is one of my absolute favorite images to color;

I just love her curls. 

I colored her with Copic markers and did the No Lines Coloring Technique.

Here is a close-up of the image and you can see

where I added a little bit of Wink of Stella to add some sparkle to 

the waist band and the feather and headband.

I hope you enjoyed our August peeks so far!

Stamp AnnieThing August Previews Day 2

Hi and welcome to Day #2 of 

Stamp Anniething's August release!  

Let's do a sort of TIME warp dance with this release!

Poodle skirt loving, 50's Jessica!

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

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

This is my take on Jessica 

I colored her up with Copic markers.

I kept her simple and just stamped her with black ink

which takes less time than the No Lines Coloring technique.

The checkered floor looks a little wonky

because I just hand few without using a ruler. LOL 

(Whoops! But for some reason it doesn't really bother me)

All of the dies are different sets from My Creative Time.

I chose yellow because it symbolizes the state of being happy. 

Here is a close-up of the image all colored up. 

I hope you enjoyed our August peeks so far!

 Have a great day!

Thank you for stopping by.

Stamp AnnieThing August Previews Day 1 - Tess

Hi and welcome to Day #1 of 

Stamp Anniething's August release!  

Let's do a sort of TIME warp dance with this release!

Meet 80s punk rocking Tess!!

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

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

Here is my card using the rocking Tess!

I colored the entire image with Copic markers.

I stamped the image with Memento Desert Sand.

Copic colors used: 

E21, E11, E13, E04, R30, R21, R22

B00, B21, B0000

B21, BG01, B23, B24

Y08, C1

E35 and Y15

For the eyesights I used Uni-ball Signo Angelic

For the eyelashes I used a Copic multi-liner

Then added some light shimmer with Wink of Stella Clear on the hair

and parts of her guitar as well as the stars in the background.

I colored this image based on this show my daughter Jade watches

it's called LoliRock. Talia is the name of this character, her hair is normally

brown but with magical powers her hair transforms to this frosty blue.

Close up and you can also see the shimmer a little better. 

I hope you enjoyed our August peeks so far!

 Have a great day!

Thank you for stopping by,
