7 Kids Crafts: Princess Ilyse

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are having a beautiful day (despite the weather.) Today I'm featuring a digital stamp by Sweet November called Princess Ilyse. Currently this stamp is only available in digital and only at http://www.7kidscrafts.com/

Sweet November Princess Ilyse
Witt & Sass Stamp Company - You Are Beautiful
Make It Crafty - Rose Garden

I colored her up with Copic Markers and 1 Spectrum Noir:

E0000, E00, E11, R20, R30, E33

YG63,  Y08, W3

YR23, YR27, E09, E18

Y21, Y23, Y26, Y28

RV63, RV55, RV69

YG17, YG63,  YG67, YG97

B02, B4 (+ Spectrum Noir IB2 for first layer)

R05, YR27

Here's a close-up

I added dots with the Uni-ball Signo Angelic White pen
and the Spectrum noir Sparkle pen to create a sparkling water

Here is one of my red combinations
I was going for that Sansa Stark red hair
because this princess sort of reminds me of her,
well before she married Joffrey "Baratheon" heehee

Instead of using a masking paper
only because this is really not a wet technique
I just used a piece of a printer paper to trace
along her hair and then stamped the Make It Crafty
"Rose Garden" rubber stamp from
Make It Crafty - Rose Garden
I stamped it twice and as you can see I
missed a spot but it's not the main focus
(I let it go and just colored more green in that spot)

Here are most of the markers I used

and right before I discovered that my paper was wonky so I had to 

crop the image down a bit. 

The background is a rubber stamp from 

Make It Crafty called 

Rose Garden available at Little Miss Muffet Stamps

I printed the Princess Ilyse digital stamp first.

I made sure to not have her exactly in the center

so I could have space for the sentiment.

I also wanted to place Princess Ilyse so she 

could direct her gaze towards sentiment.

I really loved this sentiment:

"Take time to do what makes your soul happy... 

You deserve it!"

Those are actually two stamps from 

Witt & Sass - You Are Beautiful

at 7 Kids Crafts

for the water I used a Uni-ball Signo White Angelic pen

and then I used a Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen 

Don't forget that January's Vendor at
7 Kids Crafts are the Santoro Gorjuss Girl stamps
Kelly carries the larger sets as well as the mini sets.

LMMS: Get Well Soon PDP Estrella

Hello Crafty Friends, 

Today I have a card for a family member that has been having some health issues for some time, and sadly she's  currently back at the hospital. I want to give her something to cheer her up and that is allowed in hospital without taking up too much space or denied such as flowers. I wanted to make it very colorful but also wanted to make it somewhat simpler than my usual cards. I used Polka Dot Pals Estrella along with a face from the Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces set.

LMMS: Starbrite bookmark

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I have a project for the new challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps, I created a bookmark for my littlest one. Daenerys, will be 6 years next week and she's having so much fun learning and reading new words. It may be a while for her to read chapter books but she's extremely advanced and smart that I'm sure she'll be wanting more bookmarks made to read between school books and personal books. For the bookmark I used Polka Dot Pals Starbright. I colored her up with Copic markers and the blue part of the sky closest to her body is with Copic markers as well. The rest of the background was done with Distress Inks. The stars and dots were done with Sakura Stardust Gellyroll and the white stars were done with Uni-ball Sign White Angelic. 

I wanted to make her clothing very girly and colorful.

Luckily I had a twine/tassel with similar colors. I was looking

for my white and gold and saw this colorful twine and thought it would 

perfect for this bookmark.

Here's a close-up so  you can see a few of the spots with Sakura Gellyroll 

Stardust pen- it does look a little weird on the phone but in person

it looks very sparkly and more uniformed. 

I think what took the longest to color 

was the hair and ruffles. It was actually pretty pretty quick and easy to make.

My older daughter's friends are already asking for bookmarks from the last time I made her 

some bookmarks. 

That is all for now.

LMMS: Festive Days

Hey Crafty Friends,

I hope you're having a great day! I'm here trying to stay warm and coloring away while I have laundry going... Thanks goodness for automatic washers and dryers. LOL For this week's inspiration card for  Little Miss Muffet Stamps I've created a card using Polka Dot Pals Renata and Polka Dot Faces Add-On Digital.  The background I drew in myself because I wanted to put PDP Renata in a more authentic and traditional setting for the folkloric dress she is wearing. I added more ric rac trim to her dress and there rest of the line work was with a Sakura Pigma Sensei 0.4 pen. The pencils I chose to color this image were all Polychromos.

                                                                   Polka Dot Pals Renata 
                                                        and Polka Dot Faces Add-On Digital.  
                     Last year I created a completely different looks with the same stamps.

LMMS: The Bookworm

Hello and Happy Thursday!

For many, school has begun. My kids started the new school year on August 6th. Felt like a really short summer break, especially when I went to school- it didn't start until after Labor Day in September. heehee 

I had started to customize the hair on this cutie from 

http://www.littlemissmuffetstamps.com/ her name is Polka Dot Pals Lirienne - it's a rubber stamp and she's currently on sale! I also used clear stamp Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces and this set is on sale as well. 

Polka Dot Pals Lirienne +  Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces 

After I inked un my stamp, I carefully tried to remove some of the ink from the hair area.

I wanted the hair area to be light almost like "no-lines coloring," so I can customize and make it 

into curly hair and I tried to not mess with the hair barrettes. 

When I used the clear stamp Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces I didn't line  up the eye holes like

normally because I wanted her to look like she was actually reading. I wanted her to look like she's looking down at the pages of her book. To do this you just line up the Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces of your choice slightly above the area you normally would. I then darkened the eyelashes and pupuls with a Black Copic Multiliner pen. (With permission) I customized and worked on squiggly and curly lines following Barbara Sproatmeyer's artist lines. So I tried not to change the hairstyle nor the flow of the hair- I did add some bits of fly-away hairs.

Here is the image before deciding on the color of the book.

Here it is all finished ready to give to my daughter.

LMMS: Happy Birthday Tabitha

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy Thursday!

I've been having a little fun coloring this this digi stamp from http://www.littlemissmuffetstamps.com/  called Polka Dot Pals Tabitha and using one of the versatile Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces clear stamps. Polka Dot Pals Tabitha has this super cute short curly hair and a cute little tutu and she's all ready for a birthday party. As you can see below, I used a lot of colors. I wanted a very colorful and happy card. I chose the colors of her clothing using colors I thought went well with the Doodlebug Design 6x6 papers called Fairy Tales. 

Here is my completed card using 

Polka Dot Pals Tabitha

with Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces 

Here is a close-up

These are the colors I used for the clothing, wings and birthday hat.

I  tend to make swatches next to the image I'm coloring, 

If I don't I usually don't remember what colors I used.

Here is the full list of my Copic colors used. 

Hair: C9, C7 and a tiny bit of E29

Eyes: C1, C3, E27, E17, Y26, E15 Uni-ball Signo Angelic White

Skin: E11, E17, E13, E11, R22 and E04 

Clothing/Wings/Party Hat: BG05, BG07, Y11, Y17, Y35, YR04, 

YR07, YG07, YG17, V20, V22, V15, V25, RV06, RV09

Woooo! That was a lot of colors but I really enjoy coloring so

it doesn't feel like a lot of colors when I'm having a good time doing so...

It just takes a little longer.

Here is the inside which was just fussy cutting part 

of one of the Doodlebug Design paper.

I hope you enjoyed my card. I hope you can check out all of the

LMMS: Polka Dot Pals Kyree

LMMS: Polka Dot Pals Febiana

Hello Everyone!

I hope you're having a lovely day. Today I am showcasing a card using Polka Dot Pals Febiana, one of the newest digital stamps from Little Miss Muffet Stamps shop. I also, used one of the faces from Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces set.

Here is what I've created for this Inspirational Thursday. I had so much fun coloring Polka Dot Pals Febiana I colored Polka Dot Pals Febiana as my interpretation for Storm from X-Men. Storm is very powerful and a leader among her mutant and human peers. Because she is so powerful I decided to add that hashtag #girlpower instead of leaving the card without a sentiment.

Copic colors: 

E13, E17, E27, E29, R35

Y23, Y26, Y28, R30, R46, R39

C9, C7, C5

C3, C1

Copic Multi-liner Black

Prismacolor: 

PC PC1063 and PC938

I colored her up with Copic Markers and to add a few gold details I used the Uni-ball Impact Gold, as well as a little bit of Prismacolor to give her some hair strands to her white hair. For her eyes, I colored over the pupils and added Glossy Accents over the entire iris.

For the background I used Distress Ink Weathered Wood from the center and up, then Evergreen Bough to represent an ocean or large body of water. When I was satisfied with covered I went in with Black Soot on the side edges and the top. 

When I was done adding color to the background, I drew tiny lines with my Uni-ball Signo Angelic white pen going in one direction to represent rain.

 Then I mapped out where I wanted to add lighting bolts from where she is lifted in the air. 

The lightning bolts were too light so I used a white Prismacolor to make them stand out a little more- not quite as white as I had hoped but it was good enough. 

It was a pretty simple card to make, the only thing that took me longer was the coloring because I was experimenting with other colors. 

I hope you are able to join in on the 

Anything Goes Challenge

LMMS: Vega Rise Above and Shine

Hello and welcome to another Inspirational Thursday over at Little Miss Muffet Challenge Blog

Today I'm showcasing a card I using Polka Dot Pals Vega

I used Kraft Cardstock and to start off I used

Copic markers. To brighten up the eyes, background,

star and skin I used a little Prismacolor over the Copic marker.

(Not a good idea to do it the other way around

if you want to keep a good Copic brush any. I Actually purchased a Prismacolor

colorless marker to blend/melt away Prismacolor Pencil wax but I hardly ever use it.)

It's a little hard to see but I added a little bit of Sakura GellyRoll Metallic Gold

to line the inside of the star that PDP Vega is holding. I then added some

Glossy Accents to the star to give it a 

little shine and emphasis to whomever looks at the card in person.

Another part I like to focus on especially with the 

Polka Dot Pal images is the big beautiful eyes. 

I used a White Prismacolor to color the sclera (aka whites of the eyes) 

then go in with the Black Prismacolor pencil to line and highlight

the eyes, eyelashes, and eyebrows. I used a little bit of PC 947

and a little more with PC 945 to define the her facial features such as:

jaw line, chin, sides of cheekbones, hairline, temples, eye crease, sides of nose

and a little for shadowing the ears, hands and legs.
When I was done coloring her face I went in with
Uni-Ball Signo Angelic White pen for the eyelights.

For the background I used Distress Inks:

Evergreen Bough and Black Soot

then I used a PC1011 PDP Vega to illuminate the area around her.

Then I added little stars all around with my Uni-Ball Signo Angelic White pen
when I was done just for a little more interest.

The clear stamp sentiment and square die is from My Creative Time.

The scalloped die is from Craftin' Dessert Divas

Go Warriors!!!

LMMS: Colorful Birthday

Hello Everyone!

Today I've worked on a card showing various colors. The day I started coloring this image was a gloomy and rainy day. School for my children is somewhat far away and they have different times they get out of school (a big gap) so I end up having to be in the freeway for extended periods and when it rains it eats up a lot more of my time. That particular day was accidents left and right [sigh.]
At the end of the day I wanted to relax and had time to color and actually had the energy to color. LOL Since the day was all gray and gory I wanted to see many bright and cheery colors- I was inspired by the colorful palette in a Doodlebug Design paper pad. I don't have the cover so I don't know the name for the main papers I used. The "hello birthday girl" sentiment is also from Doodlebug Design but it was a different paper pad called Fairy Tales. The banner die and the rectangle die are both from My Creative Time.

Polka Dot Pal Jessica

and Polka Dot Pal Add-on Faces

I used Copic markers to color my image.

Here's a close-up of the image.

LMMS: Ryker Smile

Good Morning!

It's time for a new challenge over at  Little Miss Muffet Challenges and as always it's an Anything Goes Challenge. Here is what I've created using Polka Dot Pal Ryker and one of the faces from Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces. I always need some male/boy cards and it seems that I don't have one on hand...yikes... trying to get better at that. This image is perfect for different occasions too so I definitely had to color him up. :D

 Polka Dot Pal Ryker

Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces

I used Copic markers to color him up. 

I was extremely indecisive on the skin and clothes

for some reason....  Then I decided to go with a 

green even though the background is green and maybe I should of gone with a 

muted red or some type of reddish brown. I don't know maybe I'll do another card.  

I also want to try another card with "mess" with the texture of the hair. 

Back to the green... heehee since I colored his gree and I had already picked and cut

up the paper to make the card I left a white edge when cutting the image.

I typically do not like leaving the white and I didn't like it agains the green

so I glued the image on black cardstock and left an edge around that and to me

it really pops and he doesn't fade into the background.

Oh yea! I almost forgot to mention that the paper is from the Michael's Recollections line.

I bought the big 12x12 when it was on sale I think I paid a little more than $5-tax included.

A couple weeks later I saw the same stack but in the 6x6 pad but I didn't

buy it cause I was trying to quickly buy something else while I was supposed to be

grocery shopping... (shhhh don't tell my husband... or my kids) 

but also the 6x6 paper cost more than the 12x12! What's up with that?

The 6x6 paper cost $5.99 and no good coupons available that week. LOL

Here is a close up. 

I added Glossy Accents (that I did but with a 50% off coupon a different week LOL) 

to the lens to give it that "glass" look and same with the flash.

The "Smile" die and the "polaroid" die with the sentiment are all from My Creative Time.

I hope you liked my card and didn't get bored with my rambling.
