Coloring

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.

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

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!

Gab about encouragement

This is a card I did to follow my other "Sound & Color" card from last week. I used the same artwork, but changed the background to distress ink and acetate.

I wanted to do a mashup of encouragement with my unicorn drawing as well, so I revisited that with a distress ink background as well, but used a normal card stock base.

I have some new ideas coming up soon for some of the doodles I put together.

I'll be posting cards with these in the next few days and I will try to post some tutorial videos for these techniques as well. Happy crafting!

Card making is...

My favorite thing to do right now! I have been making cards like crazy and using markers and stamps. These are the cards I've made in the past week.

This was done with Copic markers, distress ink, and then matted.

This used a stencil I created with my Cricut, Copic markers, distress ink, some miniature gears, and then it was layered.

This used Copic markers, a die, an embossing folder, and a white gel pen.

This used distress ink, Copic markers, the fuse tool, and a Wink of Stella Pen.

I'll be posting a few videos for how to make these cards soon. Until then, Happy Crafting!

Hi everyone, I have started coloring more and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. The video below is for a masked stamping shaker card that I colored.

I was so happy with this that I asked for new stamps for Christmas! I am also going to be doing some examples like this with my own drawings soon, until then, here are a few other stamps I finished.
