Penguin Hugs



Ok, I have to admit this was so much fun to color!  Once again, I did not have a plan or any idea in mind.  I just picked up markers and started coloring the background.  I added BG's, B's, BV's, V's and even YG's.  Coloring on a glass mat made this process very easy to blend.  I then decided to add a little texture to the backgound giveing the appearance of very distance starts.  I added a few dots of white for brighter stars and white Nuvo Drops for a few snow dropslets coming and landing on the ice burg. 

As for the water which was the next step.  I had to keep in mind I had a night sky.  So light colors wouldn't do.  The water reflects the sky.  I went with BG53, 45, 59 with BG11.  I used tip to tip technique to bring the colors of the sky reflecting into the water. I also added the reflection onto the ice burgs.

Now look, Peguins are black, I was tired and I didn't want feel like putting reflection on them as well.  It would be easy enough to do. Just undercoat with a dark purple and remove the C9.  Go over the dark purple with C7 and the purple would come through the C7 like magic.  You could add BG53 where you would put C5 and then go over it with the C5 and it would be amazing.  On a glass mat and X-Press it paper the belending would be a breeze.

Hello Winter!


Here I have combined two new stamps.  DoveArt Pine trees and Wimsy Stamps Snowman.  What a great scene it created.   Although in my opinion, you can not go wrong with a snowman or a penguin!

Ginger Snaps - You Savages!


When I received this halriaous clear set, I thought it was perfect.  Seriously, if you were a gingerbread man cookie wouldn't you think the exact same thing? Are we not savages for eating these poor adorable cookies?  Don't they have feelings too?  Acording to this clear set they have lots of them and they are angry little cookies.  I don't think I will be able to ever eat one again.



Thank you for Stopping by today!

Pine Bough - New from Whimsy Stamps


Welcome to the last day of Whimsy stamps New Release Week. 

Pine Bough



You are correct, this is not a normal Holiday card.  It is more masculine and perfect for that single guy you know.    I did not use any lovely specialty papers just white cardstock, stamps, and Copic Markers.  By adding a couple of the whimsy dies, and a small piece of paper I was able to create a most beautiful card.

As a matter of fact, this card could be given at any time throughout the fall and winter season.  Follow the links below for supply list.

Thank you for Stopping by today!
