Gab about new stamps.

I was hoping to get some new stamps for Christmas...and I did! I got a bunch of new stamps from Hero Arts and Avery Elle. I had to make something right away, and here it is. 

Japanese dolls from Hero Arts and a distress ink background. 

I did the above by stamping the dolls, using a Molotow masking pen, I covered them and then inked the background and stamped the white flowers.  I then peeled off the masking and colored the dolls with Copics.   

Using Avery Elle stamps and a bunny stamp I already had, I made this. 

Way to go! 

Finally, I used my fuse tool to make holders for gift cards. 

Gift card idea!

I did some of the confetti on the inside using my confetti punch. Hopefully I'll have time to make even more stuff and use all of my new tools! Happy crafting!  

Wacom pads are amazing!

So I LOVE trying new products and techniques, but I just fell in love with the Intuos tablet. It makes it easy to clean and perfect your drawings. I have the Sketchbook Pro option and I can honestly say it's totally worth it. The tablet and software allowed me to turn this...

It took some time, but I am SUPER pleased with the result. It opens up a whole new way to make cards and scrap pages! Happy Crafting! 

Making Digistamps

So I had the idea to start turning my drawings into digital stamps so here is my first sketch. This little geisha will be the first in a series!  

Pencil outline first.

Now she's all done. 

I will start posting these in my etsy shop for people to download and color! Happy Crafting!  

All colored in with Copics

All colored in with Tombows  

I really liked both, but the Tombows started to bleed at the end 😭. I still love them for watercolor paper though.
