School Turtle

It’s another release week for Little Miss Muffet Stamps and this time we have three stamps to feature today! For my project I used School Turtle and kept with the school theme – after all, school started in my neighborhood this week so that’s what is on everyone’s mind around here. 😀 I even found a few scraps of school decorative paper left over and came up with this journal page.


I loved the way Jane colored her last image with the wood floors and I wanted to give that a go. So on this image I used a black Copic pen to lightly draw in the boards. Then I colored it with E41-E44 and a little E31 and E33. It didn’t turn out exactly like I wanted it (a.k.a. just like Jane’s!) but it still turned out ok.


Of course I was looking for another reason to include a book with my drawings but lovely bouquet of pencils was directly inspired by the movie “You’ve Got Mail.” And finally the the turtle is for “luck” – I was always told to take a turtle with me while on a road trip for good luck and sometimes we all need some luck at school. 😀


Hope you like this tidbit of inspiration and don’t forget to head on over to the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog for more! We’re previewing School Turtle, Summer Monkey and another Suger ‘n Spice Doll… Paprika! Thanks for stopping by! 😀
