LMMS: Wicked Good Friend!

Hello and Welcome back to my blog.


For this week's Inspirational Thursday card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I used Polka Dot Pals Tamsin and a Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces. I like that there's a twist on this little witch because she has some Steampunk Gear on. I think next time I create with this image I will work with a steampunk background as well- probably one of those cool ones from Make It Crafty. For now I just wanted to make it bright and a tad bit of a spooky night sky.

Polka Dot Pals Tamsin and a Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces. 

I used lots and lots of colors to create this card and had fun doing so.... that's some of my

crafty mess but too embarrassed to show my entire desk. LOL 

The odd thing this time is that I didn't complete the face and coloring first like I usually do.

I was a little bit hung up on the leather colors I wanted to use. I knew I wanted her to be a redhead though. I think you'll be proud of me this time 'cause I actually took note (pictures) of most the colors I used but I still typed the ones I didn't take a photo of. Usually I get into my coloring and don't write colors down. haha

The Copic Colors + 1 Polychromos Color Pencil I used:

Leather: E99, YR24 and E39

Blouse/Scarf: R29, R56, R39 and R46

Pants: E53, E84 and E55

At first I wanted to do some copper but I then changed my mind because

I thought it would conflict with her red hair and reddish brown leather. 

I went with a brass tone for her goggles, buttons/hardware.

Brass: Y23, Y26, Y28, E87 and E84

Lens: BG13, B63, BV13, V22 and YR23

Skin: E0000, B000, E21, E000 and E30 

Hair: E09, YR23 and YR27

Eyes: YG61, YG67, YG61 and YG00

Bat: V04, V06, V22, R56, N4 and N6

Broom:Y15, E84, E43,  E71, E42 and R39

Moon: Y00, Y15 and Y11

Night Sky: BG11, BG13, BG05 and B28

To create the clouds I scribbled the 0 Colorless Blender

Clouds: 0, B28, BG11, Y00 

and a Polychromos Color Pencil White.

and to create the spooky tree I use drew in some lines with N9

trees: N9

LMMS: Ximena Felices Fiestas

Hello there! It's time for another Inspirational Thursday. This time I used 

Polka Dot Pals Ximena and Polka Dot Pals Add-On Faces (Digital).

When I saw this image I thought about celebrations there are in Central America

and in Mexico. Where women wear Folkloric dresses of many colors. Sometimes the

dresses are all white, sometimes white with some colorful access and sometimes bold

and bright colors- which I love personally.

I imagined this dancer in a parade on a cobblestone street so I used an embossing folder

from Cuttlebug/Provo Craft. I also used La La Land Crafts die to make de 

"papel picado" decorating above and behind her. 

I colored Polka Dot Pals Ximena with Polychromos color pencils on Kraft Cardstock and fussy cut around her. Then I used mounting foam to add dimension to the card. 

FaberCastell Polychromos color pencils (+1 Prismacolor) used:
Ivory, Walnut Brown, Burnt Siena, Burnt Ochre, Dark Flesh, Middle Cadnium Red and White.
Black, Cold Grey VI, Walnut Brown and White.
Light Cobalt Turquoise, Cobalt Blue, Middle Phthalo Blue,
Crimson, Mauve, Manganese Violet,
Orange Glaze, Light Cadnium Red,
Prismacolor Jasmine and Polychromos Dark Cadnium Yellow
Colors were used on Kraft Cardstock
