It's AMAZING Friend

The image and sentiment are from My Favorite Things You're Super stamp set The image is cut with the matching Die-Namics Dies set. The patterned paper is from K&Co.

The coloring is all done with Distress Markers. I made a mistake on the skin color combination and started with Old Paper (which has a green cast to it)  instead of  Antique Linen. I solved the green problem by coloring over the Old Paper with Tattered Rose and then using Tea Dye. The hair is colored with Gathered Twigs with streaks of Tea Dye. Since there was a lot of coloring, I'm entering it into the 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

WOYWW 315

It's been busy around here : D. On deck is some cutting/coloring with My Favorite Things You're Super. To the side buried a bit is Waltzingmouse Stamp's Ocean Bound.... I forgot to photograph some steps for a tutorial... and need to make some stand in for my jar spinner which also gave me a chance to use my giant, giant (about 10 inches long) tweezers (I think they are made for terrarium work).

So head over to Julia's Stamping Ground for more crafty goodness!

My Ship Has Come In (even if it spins)

For the Bedtime Stories Challenge at Waltzingmouse's PJ Party.

It's the ship from Ocean Bound, spinning around under a banner made of Tim Holtz Tissue Tape stamped with the boat from Bitty Baby Blessings stamp set. The waves are made using the appropriately named Waves background stamp by Hero Arts. The Ship is from Waltzingmouse's Ocean Bound (I am REALLY loving this set). 

The lid features another ship from Ocean Bound as well as the AHOY. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Studio Style.

I want to make sure I get this entered in time, but I have a tutorial in the works that I will post soon. But basically it's a spinner card just made 3D.

Coffee and Doughnut

Coffee Coloured Challenge at Waltzingmouse's PJ Party. Everything is stamped with Versafine pigment ink, which is waterproof. I gave it a quick shot of heat with the Ranger Heat-It to make sure it was dry and wouldn't smudge.

The Doughnut frosting is painted with Papertrey Ink's Dark Chocolate and a waterbrush. The coffee cozy is painted with Pure Poppy. The doughnut frosting and coffee cup eyes are covered with Glossy Accents.
