Happy Birthday Faye!

~ sproatmeyer ~ 5 Comments

This is a project I’ve drawn and created for a special friend on her very special day – it’s Faye’s birthday today and I hope she’s celebrating in style!  I even dragged out my colored pencils and tried to do something different.  😀  So if you know Faye, or just like wishing someone Happy Birthday, then head on over to her blog and wish her a very Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAYE!! 

The Little Misses have also gotten together and posted a bunch of inspiration using this image on the Little Miss Muffet Blog.  I didn’t have my project finished when the post when live, so you got a preview over there and the full project here.  The image is Polka Dot Pals Faye and was inspired by Faye herself… especially the glitter portion.  She actually “glitter bombed” me in the mail and I literally got glitter everywhere – yikes!  So take her seriously when she says she’s going to put glitter on your desk… no matter where you live!  LOL

Among other things, Faye is an awesome gal and I’m so grateful to have her as a friend.  Thank you for all that you do too and I hope you’re having a magical day!  *Hugs

Sunbonnet Strawberry Sitting

While I’ve been working with kraft paper, I thought I would pull out the pencils again and this time I’ve colored Sunbonnet Strawberry Sitting available in rubber at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I went all out with the colors and really wanted something to pop.  So in stead of leaving part of the kraft paper as a color, I used a lot of bright colors and filled it all in.  This was so fun to work with red in a non-holiday sense and I love how the strawberry and her dress turned out!  😀  I hope you like it too!

Healing the Dragon

Is a dragon an animal?!  I hope so.  This card has been sitting in draft mode and I just can’t wait any longer.  LOL  The challenge at The Paper Shelter is “Animal Magic” and I’m going to submit this entry.  The image(s) on this project is called Healing the Dragon by The Paper Shelter which is actually four individual stamps merged together. But I liked how they all came together in this scene and colored it as is.

With an image like this, there are always areas I wish I had colored a little differently.  This one for example, is the liquid medicine.  Instead of coloring something that looks like blood, I wish it was purple like the spoon, and the spoon, any other color.  However, maybe dragons drink blood to feel better?  Who knows!

I hope you’re all have a great weekend!
