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!
Blessings

Noah's Ark - Any Animal

Hi Everyone!

It is the start of a fresh new challenge over at JIC. This time the theme is "Noah's Ark - Any Animal"

So our sponsors for this challenge are:
They are offering a $10 voucher to the winner! Their digi's are adorable so head on over to Stitchy Bear to check out their stamps!

They are offering 3 images to the winner! Their digi's are as cute as can be so head on over to Lacy Sunshine to check out their adorable stamps!

My card this challenge is from Lacy Sunshine and is called Elli Ella. Lacy Sunshine is among my favorite stamps, and this one was adorable to color. I turned Elli into a boys baby card, as I am always on the lookout for boy cards, as I tend to do a lot more girl cards.


I hope you like this card! Head on over to JIC to check out all the fun that is going on over there!

Blessings
