Whimsy Stamps Redo

Hi Everyone,

This week has been a relatively quiet week for me, although I spend most of last week spring cleaning (yes, I know it is only February!) in preparation for my youngest sister's arrival on May 1.
So I cleaned my sewing room (which I haven't seen the floor of in about a year!) and organized my fabrics so that I can easily pick out a project to do.

I am still working on recoloring my old cards, which has been fun an enlightening. This has forced me to start working on my Kit and Clowder classes again. Before I lost my job I never seemed to have the time to work on my classes, but now I am making it a priority as I want to continue to improve my coloring. If you have not checked out Alyce's classes over at Kit and Clowder, make sure that you head on over and check them out. They are very reasonably priced and the information that you get is priceless.

So today's offering is from Whimsy Stamps and is called Love You Slow Much. As most of you know my favorite stamps of all time are by Sylvia Zet and are called the "Wee Ones" I loved coloring this image, and I am looking forward to having the time to color some more soon. There is a "before" image and an "after" image.

BEFORE

AFTER

The copics I used are:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: E21, E23, E25, E27, E29

Dress: R32, R35, R37, R39

Socks: R21, R22, R24

Snail: E34, E35, E37, E39

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Gorjuss Girl Fun

Happy Friday Everyone,

I have been a busy girl this week! I have finished 2 design team cards, and I also have "redone" quite a few others.

I am going back through my cards that I have made in the last year and I am "re-coloring" them! As I am building up inventory to open an Etsy store to sell my cards, I want them to be the best that I can do.

I have kept the images from the cards that I colored almost a year ago, and this is a really good thing for me to see how far my coloring has come.

Here are a few that I have done.

This image is by Gorjuss Girls and it is called "Fallen"
