Asherah and Inky - New Sweet November Digital Images

Happy Sunday my lovely crafting friends! I am back again today to share another card I made as a guest designer for the new Sweet November digital Mermaid release! They are "mer-mazing"!

These are Asherah and Inky and I think that they are playing a fabulous game of hide and seek! From Asherah's face, I think that Inky thinks he is a better hider than he actually is!

I used several older Sweet November digital images to "build" my scene. I just resized them and arranged them until I had the scene that I wanted. I thought it would be so cute to have Inky hiding in the cave and Asherah finding him! I will list everything I used below.

Image was printed onto Copic paper and then colored with copics. When the coloration was all done, I added some Blue Ribbon Distress ink to the edges to create some depth.

Copic Markers Used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20, R22

Eyes: YG00, YG17

Hair: B00, C3, C5, C7 C9

Tail: YG00, YG13, YG25, YG17, YG67

I am back just in time for MerMay!

Hello my lovelies,

Yes, I am back. When I first decided to take a break, I did not intend for it to last this long. I thought that I would take a few months off and then I would be back but life was so busy that I just kept putting it off. Finally, it was MerMay and more specifically this new Sweet November digital image from the May newsletter that spurred me into action. Now I am endeavoring to remember how to post this to blogger, tag and upload to my social media. If you are reading this then I guess I succeeded!

I absolutely had the best time coloring up this cutie. I didn't realize how much I had missed doing this.

The background is a patterned paper from Whimsy Stamps, it is actually supposed to be a sky but I turned it upside down and now it is the bottom of the ocean! The sentiment was heat embossed with white powder and is from a Sweet November clear stamp set and the "bubbles" are adhesive gems from my stash. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to her eyes and her hair.

Copic Markers Used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04
Hair: YR30, YR31, E31, FRV1

Eyes: B01, B24, B26

Bikini Top: RV63, FRV1

Tail: YG00, YG21, YG23, YG25, YG17

Starfish: V01, V15

Crab: Y32, Y38, BG11, BG93

Shells: BV02, V17

Here are links to what I used. Some of these are affiliate links that have no additional cost to you but allows me to bring content to you. Thank you all for your support.

The digital image I used was a free image from the Sweet November stamps newsletter. You need to subscribe to the newsletter and I think you might be able to get it. Otherwise it is available for purchase on their website.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I am going to try to post at least once a week and delve back into some video making as well.

Have a great rest of the day!

Christmas Series 2018 | Day #8 Little Reveal Wheel

Happy Tuesday! Hope your week is off to a great start!! Have you started thinking about decorating and shopping for Christmas? I start pretty early but I think that is because I am a blogger and I have to get my content ready way before the season starts! Today’s card set and video tutorial took a long while to film and edit! I am absolutely crazy about the interactive effect that the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel adds to a card. I think that everyone will be super happy to get one of these in the mail this holiday series!

I CANNOT get enough of these cute penguins! They certainly look like they are very hard working….well maybe that little guy in the box is playing more than working, but he is a cutie!

Using the same set but creating a different look. I added less images and switched up the backgroud inks colors and the appperature shape.

Did you see THIS POST? I used this set to create a totally different take on Santa, his sled and the reindeer. I mentioned in my video tutorial that I was planning on making one featuring an iconic night sleigh scene…..here it is! I am super happy with how it turned out!

Finally, I used other images from the Santa Sleigh set to create this card. I thought Santa might want a change and so I gave him a lovely blue suit. Hope he likes it!!!

Mermaid Love | Honey Bee Stamps + Video

Happy Friday and since I live in a home with Star Wars fanatics; May the Fourth be with you. I have a brand new video to share with you today sharing a card that I made using the very sweet Honey Bee Mermaid stamp set. I love her peaceful expression. Icreated a simple one layer card using inks to create an underwater background for the mermaid and her little friend to float in. It was super easy to do and you will see each step in the video!

Tea Time Picnic | Mama Elephant + Video

Happy Wednesday everyone! Again, it has been a while since my last posting but I was actually pretty sick. Hopefully that is all behind me now and I can get on with crafting a little bit more.

I fell in LOVE with this set when I first saw it and I did’t even think twice about it….I knew that I needed the stamp and die set! I think that I am going to get a lot of use out of it because it lends itself so beautifully to scene card as well as little mini cards (I have an idea in the works). My how-to video as well as the supply list can be found right after these photo stills!

Mermazing Card Set | MFT stamps + Video Tutorial

Happy Monday! I hope that you are having a great day and week so far! I have a new card set to share with you today that features some of the new May release from MFT Stamps! This project was so much fun to create! You will find a how-to video after the photos below and in it, I will take you through the coloration process for the images as well as show you how I created the backgrounds!

I am a HUGE fan of the Birdie Brown line from MFT Stamps and when I saw that there was a new Mermaid set, I just was giddy with excitement. I have paired up the Mermazing Set with the new Exquitiste Ocean set and I love how much versatility you get my changing up the different element combinations!

I have listed all the Copic markers that I used for each image below. Although the colors stayed roughly the same for each mermaid, a few change ups and different coloring orders made each mermaid unique!
