Easter Bunny

A new task from Task for Two Tuesday is here: *Rabbits*.

A perfect opportunity for this cute freebie digital stamp from From the Heart Stamps. I used colored pencils for this little guy and glitter deco tube for the heart. As for the background, I played with Distress Ink (Fired Brick) and washi tape and then I cut out the shape of an egg to create Easter tag:-)

I played with metallic gold pen, gel pens (metallic and glitter), Stabilo markers and colored pencils.

Snow Day

For this cute digital stamp from From The Heart Stamps I used colored pencils and a gel pen for stitching. Then I played with Distress Inks (Salty Ocean and Seedless Preserves) and embelished those two stripes with punched snowflakes. I "stitched" the stripes with white gel pen on my card base.

The sketch challenges at From The Heart Stamps are back!

I colored this cuddly Yeti digital stamp with watercolor pencils and a bit of gel pens. Then I drew the background with colored pencils and gel pen (metallic green on trees).

Ice Cream Monster

Yes, it exists! I picked one of the ice cream from From the Heart Stamps's Ice Cream Lineup (free stamp of the month June) and there it was!

Colored with pencils, I added googly eyes, little dots (Glossy Accents + glitter gel pens), stripe of design paper (Folia, Origami design paper) and drew a few lines with green glitter gel pen.

Frog and Frozen Flies

Inspired by Justine Hovey I wanted to try the ripple effect on a card and the frog from FTHS was just perfect for this.

I printed the stamp on watercolor paper and created a mask, too. For the ripple effect I used Distress Ink (Salty Ocean) and then I colored the image with pencils, glitter gel pens and DI (Mowed Lawn for the frog's body). Glossy Accents finished the popsicle and the tongue:-)

Hamlet PigWit in the Planter

That's the name of the Stamp of the Month May 2016 at From the Heart Stamps. I had really fun coloring it, I used a copic marker for the pig as a basic layer (E00) and continued with colored pencils. For some of the flowers I used my glitter gel pens.

For the layout the sketch from this week's challenge came in handy.

Butterfly

When I saw April 2016 Stamp of the Month at From the Heart Stamps, I knew I would use the butterfly for a card. It reminded me of the one I cross stitched for my mom.

I colored the image with Distress Ink (Seedless Preserves) and glitter gel pens. Then I masked an oval around the butterfly and did the stripes, again with DI. I wanted the card to be a single layer at first, but then I changed my mind and used a design paper with matching color from my stash (Folia, Motivpapier Potpourri).

Birdbrain Ninja

I got someone to watch over me today!

This little brave warrior is colored with pencils and fussy cutted. The stripe is me playing with Distress Inks (Seedless Preserves and Fired Brick) and water drops. On the card base I added some random lines with colored pencil.

This card is for:

Digging Dog

Easter is just around the corner and somebody was busy in the garden:-)

I printed this little fella on watercolor paper (Hahnemühle D'Aqua) and colored him with pencils and glitter gel pens, for the sky and grass I played with Distress Inks (Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn). Then I cut out the shape of a big egg and adhered it on the cardbase. The background is a combination of design paper (Folia, Motivpapier Potpourri) and kraft paper. The sentiment just proves the dog's innocence.

Laughing Giraffe

I used one of the cute giraffes from Laughing Giraffes and simply colored it with Copics (E29, R20, E00 and E21), added Glossy Accents on brown spots and just a little of glitter gel pen.

I cut the shape from challenge's sketch and stitched around with my brown colored pencil. On the cardbase I adhered two stripes of design paper from my stash with a shaped ribbon in the middle as my embellishment.

Sweet and hot

After a week off it's time for another From the Heart Stamps sketch challenge. I decided to use a twist this time - big sentiment. I picked the one from the Snowman and Cocoa.

First I drew (oh my) a cup and cut it out from red colored paper, then I printed the sentiment, divided it into segments and placed the pieces on the cup. As for the stripes, I played with my trimmer's wave and perforation cut a little, the same goes for the background's design paper (Folia, Motivpapier Potpourri).

Mouse Balloon

Another mouse! This time with balloon:-) The last card sketches challenge at From the Heart Stamps was so much fun, so I decided to join #140:-)

First I colored the mouse and balloon with pencils, then I handstitched around with a floss from my stash (Balerina Nr. 402) and added some sequins from Rayher. For the background I used design paper from Folia (Motivpapier Potpourri), three little gifts (Motivkarton Basics, Folia) with white gel pen ribbons and the final big ribbon is made from the same floss as stitching.

Snowman and Cocoa

How about a card with digital stamp? I got Snowman and Cocoa from From the Heart Stamps, it was only $1 this month, because it's a part of the challenge in February. And I decided to try the sketch challenge, too!

The image is colored with pencils, background with a little help of powdered pigment, which I scraped off the pencils. Banners are made from winter themed deco tapes, design paper is from my stash (Motivpapier Potpourri, Folia). Stitched with white gel pen:-)
