Little Darling Rubberstamps-GDT post

It is Olivia and I am back again for my second August GDT post over at Little Darlings Rubberstamps .

Today I decided to chose the adorable stamp, Butterfly Baby, which is one of the newest stamp release images coming. This is meant to be a baby boy card for a cousin of mine having her second son though I think I keep it not too girly (I hope lol). I colored the image with my Copics and also used my Twin Touch Markers (I recently acquired a few to try and really like them). I had to add some sparkle with some stickles. The paper is from Authentique paper pad and the pearls are from my stash.

Coloring Recipe:

Skin: Twin Touch-131,29,27

Hair: Twin Touch-104,102,97,95

Blues: Copics B18,14,12

Greys: Copics C1,3,5

 

Have a great crafty day everyone and I will be back soon.

Crafty Hugz,

Olivia

Totally Papercrafts-Decoupage Challenge

Welcome to another great challenge over at Totally Papercrafts.

 

Now, on to this week's challenge my lovely DT member has chosen

 

DECOUPAGE

I have to admit I do not decoupage alot so this was definitely a challenge to me. I decided to alter a candle jar I had. I used some scraps of paper from my MME paper stack, wood veneer butterflies and bling from my stash. The focal image is from Little Darlings Rubber stamp-Saturated Canary line called Free Hugs. Also got to use my lace/ribbon stash as well.

 

Loves Rubberstamps Challenge-Favorite Colors

I decided to go with my favorite combo of Red/Black and White. I used the adorable image from MFT PI collection called Cause for Celebration. I then used one of my favorite paper pads-Lovely by Authentique and the MFT Blueprints 3 Set. I also colored the image with my Copics.

Loves Rubberstamps-Monday Morning Inspiration

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope it is turning out to be a good one for you. It is my turn to showcase for Loves Rubberstamps.

I am switching it up a bit here because I am falling so behind in my scrapbooking with all my card making so I was super excited to see all the 12x12 paper and papers sets added to Loves Rubberstamps.  So no coloring from me today!

Today I am showcasing one of my favorites from Echo Park called-Beautiful Life. I have to admit I am not one of the super fancy scrapbookers but I do love trying to preserve as many of those moments as I can. This set comes with the great borders, sentiments and stickers which I used. I love the sketches over at Let's Scrap group and this is one of them since I really have no imagination to come up with my own layout setups.

Even though it is a bit on the bright side for a winter theme (this is last year big snow fall) I think it works perefectly for my girls.

Have a great day and see you back tomorrow for our newest challenge.

Loves Rubberstamps Challenge

This week's challenge for Loves Rubberstamps is:
Round or Square Cards

 

 

Here is another company I am super excited to see has been added to the shop, TIDDLY INKS! This stamp set is Sweets for My Sweet. Isn't she the cutest!!  Now this paper is from my stash so not sure where I got it. Added some liquid pearls to the pop and then used my Circut/Cuttlebug to do the circle card. Colored the image with my Copics and here is the finished piece.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Loves Rubberstamps-Unusual Hair Color

Today challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps is to use an unsual hair color. I had just recently read a blog post by Zoe @ Make It Crafty when she reviewed some unusual hair color she uses so I decided to try one out.

 

 

 

This image is one of the newest SC stamps via Little Darlings Rubberstamps called Breeze.  What a beauty right?  The paper is from MME and I colored the image with my Copics. The sentiment is also from Little Darlings new sentiment release.

 

I actually wrote down the hair combos if you want to give it a try....

 

Hair: BV000, BV02,BV04, B01

and added some more depth using my pencils.

LRS Monday Inspiration with Stamping Bella

Happy Monday.  It is my turn for the inspirational piece for Loves Rubberstamps today.  I decide to decorate a small family photo book.  The papers are from a retired paper stash I have from CTMH.  I am not even sure the name either.

 

 

I then stamped the image for the Stamping Bella stamp by Diane Duda called I carry your with me. I colored the image with my Copics and this time decided to stamp it in gray...which I do like the effect.  The flowers and buttons are from my stash.

 

Hope you all have a great day.

Loves Rubberstamps-Morning Inspiration

This is the killer early week for me. My oldest LOVES girl scout camp and so looks forward to it but we have to meet the bus by 7:30 in the morning so back to 6 am wake-up.

 

Thank goodness it is only for a week. Anyhoo, today I decided to showcase today at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspirational Post one of other fabulous Greeting Farm stamps-the Oliver and Amelia series.

 

I have finally gotten into the groove of using Kraft paper (I know I am a bit slow on the crafty curve sometimes). I colored the image with my Copics and I think I may have actually finished a paper set of the Crate Paper Farmhouse Series. The sentiment doily was done with the MFT Mini Doily set.

I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for taking the time to stop on by!
