Beep! Beep!!!

It's ANYTHING GOES time on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! The Design Team is playing with Penny Black products this week. I absolutely HAD to get this stamp when I saw it!!! After all, I DO drive one! *insert winky face here* You don't have to use Penny Black to play along, bug if you have some, we'd love to see what you do with them!





This is the Penny Black Miniful Hedgehog stamp. You guys. It's a Mini Cooper. And a hedgehog. And a couple of other cute animals, to boot. For REALS, it is fabulous. For reals, though. For reals. I used my Tombow markers and a waterbrush to watercolor the image. This was a new method for me, but it was a fun one to try and I like how bold the colors are! The Sun is from the Simon Says Stamp My Sunshine stamp set and the sentiment is borrowed from the MFT Tickled Pink stamp set. Don't be afraid to mix and match those stamp sets! Even if they are from different brands!



I added the 'chrome' with a silver pen and then used Glossy Accents to create a glass look over the windows once the watercolor had dried. Because this is all on watercolor paper, it stood up very well to all these treatments! Love that! You can find my complete supply list below.

Now it is YOUR turn! Create something fabulous (just make sure it is NEW, no backlinking is allowed), and link it up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store! Yup! It's THAT easy! We can't WAIT to see you there!

Using Up Die Cut Scraps

A short time ago, I created this card using a TON of Paper Smooches Rainbow Die cuts. I loved the card and it turned out better than I could have imagined, however, the process of creating it involved cutting the entire rainbow MANY times in several colors. That left me with a large pile 'o rainbow bits. HA!



In an attempt to use up some of those curvy bits of color, I decided to create a TOTALLY different card design using them! I pulled out a simple sentiment set from Paper Smooches and my trusty bottle of Tombow Mopo liquid and went to town!



I did a lot of weaving with the top left portion of the design and then kept the right side a bit simpler. I felt the gold wide strip MME paper complimented the bright colors well. This was really a lot of fun to put together. Pure play! LOVE those times in the studio!



SEE! FUN STUFF! And I only put a tiny dent in that pile o' scraps, but I am sure I can come up with something else! HAHAHA!

I am entering this one in the Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes Challenge this week!

Have a Happy!!!

100 Days of Tombow

Several weeks ago I was contacted by Tombow asking if I would like to participate in their 100 Days of Tombow celebration.  I was not only honored by the request, but THRILLED to have the opportunity to participate in this great program.  Tombow is working with 100 Bloggers and for each post they are donating $100 product donation to the Council for Art Education.  I have three great passions in my life, folks.  Two of those three... Art and Education.  This was a no brainer for me!



The kit that Tombow sent my way included some beautiful Irojiten colored pencils, a dual brush marker set, and, my personal favorite adhesive runner... the Tombow Adhesive Stamp Runner.  I combined a bit of each to create the card you see above!  I was surprised at how beautifully the pencils blended and I just love how the leaf turned out!



I want to thank Tombow for asking me to be a part of this endeavor and for their commitment to art education..

Have a Happy!



 

     
   
   

MUAH!

Hiya, folks!  Welcome to Tuesday!  So... I have a card to show you today... I KNOW, Shocking, right?  K.  Well, anyway... this one is kinda super crazy fun.  No, like for reals, though.  It just makes me smile.


ACK! She is too cute. TOO.STINKING.CUTE. Just sayin'. She comes from the Smirk Collection from PSA Essentials. Her little MUAH! sentiment comes from the new sentiments collection from PSA Essentials! Something for everything in that set! Love that! Sally the Cricut was kind enough to cut out the sweet little speech bubbles for me. LOVE that girl!

I thought she would be a perfect fit for the Make Your Mark challenge over at CAS-Fridays, as her bright and totally trendy outfit is totally colored with Tombow markers. Because obviously that's what all the cool kids are wearing.

Obviously.

HA!

To check out more fabulous PSA Essentials inspiration, be sure to pop on over to the PSA Stamp Camp blog. It's a rock'n good time, folks!

Well, that's all for today, kids! Have a HAPPY!!!!

Jingle Out!
