Happy Easter with Stamping bella and Catherine Pooler Inks!

Hi ya everyone!  I colored the absolutely adorable Stamping Bella Bundle Girl Bunny with my Catherine Pooler inks!  First I stamp everything in a Twilight Catherine Pooler ink. Then I chose colors from the Party Collection (Lime Rickey, Something Borrowed, Party Dress, Tiki Torch, Tutti Fruity).  I also colored the bunny in Twilight.  

Here's a little trick though...for the sky, I first watercolored with my CP inks before stamping.  Then I went back in with a stencil to help form the clouds.  

Notice how I kept the bottom a bit lighter so that I could stamp and color without affecting the images too much.  You can layer some of the inks, but anything that's too bright really won't work.  But it's nice to get some background color down so you don't have to paint around the images so much.  Make sure that this is completely dry before you start adding color to the images.

Hey There - Whimsy Stamps Release Day

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and enjoying all the new fabulous products at Whimsy Stamps this week.  Today, I'm sharing the cutest Easter image!  Meet Penguin's bunch of bunnies!  This is a Crissy Armstrong image that comes in red rubber from Whimsy.  I colored these cuties in my Copics.

Once I colored the image I used the beautiful dies from Whimsy's Stamps called Hand Stitched Nested Rectangles.  I love these dies as the stitch is just a bit wonky.  So it leaves this very whimsy border to your creations while keeping the edge nice and clean.

I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne from the sentiment set called Everyday Mini Sentiments.

Some Bunny Loves You - Tiddly Inks Challenge

 

Hi ya everyone!  It's Tuesday and that means a new challenge at Tiddly Inks!  This week we are having a Critters Challenge.  You know it's spring, and that's when all those sweet cuddly animals, not so sweet and cuddly spiders and insects start to emerge and let us know the weather is getting warmer and they days longer.  We are celebrating at Tiddly Inks!

I used the adorable Wryn - Some Bunny Loves You image and sentiment.  I paired them with some adorable paper soon to be released at Whimsy stamps.  The die in the background is also from Whimsy.  The adorable arrow came in my Cocoa Daisy monthly kit.  All of my flowers are from Wild Orchard or I am Roses.  Of course Wryn is colored in Copics.

Tweet Easter - Fabulous Inky Friday

Hi ya everyone!
  I love this new image at Tiddly Inks - Minnie's Egg digital stamp by Christy Croll at Tiddkly Inks is just too sweet holding that big old Easter egg.  If you love her but if you don't need to make an Easter card there is another Minnie in the shop HERE.  I saw a really beautiful mini album in one of my craft magazines that had an advertisement for Spellbinders and they used this above nestable for the album.  I loved the look and decided to modify it for a card.
I colored Minnie's Egg in Copics - I also included the colors I used.

and here are the Copics I used:

I cut her out with a different nestable I used and inked the edges in a Tim Holtz ink called Faded Denim.  I also used my colorless blender and placed some polka-dots on the large egg.  I then added white gel pen to her egg and also put a little squiggle on her glasses.  Then I glossy accented her glasses and added Stardust Stickles to her egg's dots.  I set her to the side to dry.

Last, I made this adorable frame from my nestables and used foam squares to pop it off the Echo Park paper with hearts.  I cut out some adorable little chicks and chick eggs from the cartridge Simply Charmed on my Cricut and adhered those to the frame.  I then stamped the sentiment Have a Tweet Easter on white paper and backed it with the same blue in the eggs.  I then placed Minnie in the frame and added the sentiment!  Head over to Tiddly Inks and check out their cute images today!

You Make Me Happy - Tiddly Inks Challenge

 Hi ya everyone!
  This week at the Tiddly Inks challenge blog we are asking everyone to use a bunny on their card!  There are a ton of bunny images at Tiddly Inks too - Bunny Boo Adventures, Somebunny, Hoppy Easter, BunnyQ, and Minnie's Egg to name a few!  Remember you have to use a Tiddly image so hop on over and pick up an image or two - there are a few that are in the retiring soon section that are $1!!!  I used Somebunny and she will be retiring soon much to my chagrin!  I love this image!!!  So get her while you can!

I really enjoyed making this card!  The colors just sort of came together.  I initially had pictured the image a bit more cool in color - blues and grays...but I decided to venture out of my norm and go with a rich warm yellow color.  I used my Copics to color her and used my oval nestable set to cut her out.

I also used some gorgeous Basic Grey Paper called Perhaps and some Kraft paper.   I used an EK Success punch for the little line of flowers that I adhered to the Kraft paper.  I colored a sheer white ribbon with my Copic I used to color and shade her dress.  I also added some chip board hearts two of which I colored with Copics.  The sentiment is from a stamp company I've just learned about through a Copic course I took at the CKC convention called Clear and Simple Stamps.  I also added an embellishment from a $1 pack I got at the convention.
