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.

SBS DT: What's Your Sign?

Hey Everyone!

Hope all is well with everyone! First, I would like to say Happy Teacher's Appreciation Week and Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely mothers.  :)

Okay on to the post, so what's your sign? LOL I remember growing up I would watch Walter Mercado give out the daily horoscope or at least Monday through Friday on Primer Impacto a Spanish television show... it was all silly but I watched it everyday religiously and there was no DVR to pause and rewind so if we missed what he said oh well. LOL Then in high school the students or at least all of the seniors would get the local newspaper for free so we always read our daily horoscopes and it was fun to read your friends' daily readings too... it was all silly but it gave us a good laugh.

I'm not into horoscope stuff anymore but I do love reading or listening to the Ancient Mythologies behind them either Greek or Roman versions. Besides the Big Dipper and Little Dipper I couldn't tell you which constellations I'm looking at unless I've been given a hint or sat there long enough to make little pictures around them. LOL Last year we went to Big Trees in Calaveras County, drove up to a mountain where an astronomer pointed out the stars with a green laser and told us the stories of these constellations and I even got to see the Milky Way. The whole experience was fascinating! Everything in it's natural state is so beautiful.... something we miss out on living in the city-  of course there is beauty in the urban life... but doesn't compare to natural beauty. :)

or you can just search for the individual images.

Okay on to my cards. I feel like I made them sort of simple but I didn't want to hide the papers. LOL

This is Aries Betty, my sign, I was born April 15th! :)

I colored her with Copic markers.
I used papers from the Stardust Stack by DCWV.

Copics used:

Here is Cancer Betty.
She actually has straight her it's just the way I decided to color her hair makes in different. 
 Same papers used.
I decided to give her an natural afro texture
Colored with Copic markers

 Here you can see the shimmer on her dress and eyelids


Here is Saggittarius Betty.
 Again paper from the same stack.
I noticed that the constellation of Hercules was in this page... and even though it was like smacked in the middle of the page lol I cut it up and will use the scraps for more cards.
The constellation of Sagittarius, a centaur who was a great archer was placed near the Hercules constellation to keep guard of him from Scorpius, the scorpion.

Copics used

Here is a closer look at her face.

I hope you liked my cards.

Thanks for looking and/or commenting.
