SPD May 2017 Sweet 2 Repeat Blog Hop

It's Sweet 2 Repeat Blog Hop Time SugarPea Fans

Now that you SugarPea Lovers have the April Release

in your hands, its time for an inspirational hop from the Design Team. 

I just had to play with the new SPD Mini Muslin Bags. 

I stamped my images from This Little Piggy onto my bag using my MISTI and a Copic friendly ink.  I stamped each image individually and multiple times until I got the level of color I wanted, a nice deep black.  

 I colored in my scene I created using Copics.

First, I cut a panel of white cardstock and slipped it inside my bag before I colored.  This was to keep my markers from bleeding through to the other side of my bag.  I used Copics E000, E00, E11, R20, R22, R24, YR23, Y21, Y17, YG21, YG23, YG25, 0, BG0000, BG000, BG01.  I just dotted color, not circles like usual Copic coloring, to protect the markers from the texture of the bag. Also I recommend coloring just inside the black line to allow bleeding of the ink. 

I am very impressed 

with how easy it is to stamp and color on these bags.

Guest Designer - Miss You Bird

I am so happy to be Guest Designer on the

 Inspired By All The Little Things Challenge this week. 

And look at this sweet inspiration photo for this week's challenge #51. 

I took my inspiration from the little birdies. 

I wanted to make a card with a chubby yellow bird after seeing the inspiration. 

I made a OLC by stamping this bird off the side of the card and just built around him with my Copic colored landscaping and washi embellishment.  This guy is so easy to color. I used Copics: YR23, Y21, Y17, W1, W3, W5, C00, C0, C1, V01, V04, V06, YR02, YR04, YR07, YG21, YG23, YG25, BG000. 

Supplies

Stamps: Tim Holtz Bird Crazy (Stampers Anonymous), Chit Chat (Lawn Fawn)  Paper: Recollections White 110# (Michaels)  Ink:  Hybrid Black Licorice (My Favorite Things), Copics:YR23, Y21, Y17, W1, W3, W5, C00, C0, C1, V01, V04, V06, YR02, YR04, YR07, YG21, YG23, YG25, BG000  Accessories:  Washi tape 

Your Next Stamp New Release DT DARE - Book Inspiration

This month's DT Dare is to create a project based using "book" as inspiration.

I was inspired by the cover of this book below.  See the cute cat's partial face?  So I used this adorable image from Scratch Pad to create a row across the bottom of my card of peeking cats. LOL. I love how easily they stamp together to make a continuous line.  I colored them using the simple one marker Copic technique for each cat, I just used one marker: C1, Y21, E31, YR02, W1, N0.  Love One Layer Cards don't you?

Now just pop on over to the

CASology Week 221

I am playing in this week's CASology Challenge.

The cue word is CURE.  So I pulled out this sweet set Sniffles & Snuggles from SugarPea Designs.  

I masked off the tray and tissues for a more CAS look and little area for my sentiment.  I colored in only her hair and face to keep it CAS. Easy peasy!

CASology #220 w/Rosi - Coffee Junkie

Playing CASology with Rosi

Rosi and I are at it again playing in this week's

CASology Challenge #220 COFFEE. You gotta see what Rosi created HERE. 

I had a fun time inking up these two stamp sets for this challenge.  I drew my 3 1/4" square lightly in pencil first.  Then I used painters tape to mask along the bottom of the square. I used my MISTI to stmap my go cup first, masked it off then stamped the bird.  I stamped the bird again on scrap paper and cut out just his wings and popped them up after coloring. Then I went over my pencil lines with marker.

Coloring Outside The Lines - Let It Be

Power Poppy

I am playing in Power Poppy's Power & Sparklette Challenge 

Week 3 - Coloring Outside The Lines. 

 Marcy is challenging us to color up a Power Poppy image doing something different to us.  So I colored in the leaves simply (no blending) which is unusual for me and I really wanted to blend those colors, I did.  But I wanted to keep it CAS so I used a light color and then a darker along the lines in the leaf.  Then I went around the edge with a light blue and it was different for me because there is noguideline.  I felt a little anxious wanting to get it even.  So this was fun to let go and try something different from my go to coloring technique.  Plus I layered up a little with dies rather than my one layer creations. 

I chose to use the Power Poppy Freebie Digi
