A spooky door

September 19, 2022September 21, 2022 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

You’re in the graveyard and you spot a quiet area in the corner. It’s dark but you feel at peace because of the cool night air and hooting owls. In the corner, you find steps that lead down to a Dungeon Door. You’re curious so you walk down and touch it – it’s ice cold and you feel something brush against your arm. Suddenly you’re not so sure anymore about you’re midnight stroll but it’s not too late to turn around. Or do you choose to open the door?

Have fun with your own adventures with this Dungeon Door stamp and check out all the new releases from Whimsy Stamps.

Here’s another Polka Dot Pals Fern that I colored in a Live Facebook video. For this gal, I used US Art Supply Manga/Marker paper and had a very difficult time blending and coloring on it. The ink stays on the surface, gets dry and then tacky which means there really wasn’t a lot of blending possible. However, it’s not quite impossible. Once I settled in for no blending at all, then I was able to apply the colors in a way that looked ok.

Polka Dot Pals Fern is now available to order!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

September 13, 2022 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

Looking for another adorable bunny from the Hoppy Floppy Bunnies Seasonal clear set? I found one hiding in the Great Pumpkin Patch! This was such a fun card to put together and I was able to use the new Wild Weeds die set to help build out the pumpkin patch and make it look like we’re really in the thick of it. This might be an adorable bunny, so cute and fluffy, but you’ll have to decide if he’s eating all the pumpkins or if he’s going to card you a nice surprise. LOL

Warm winter snuggles

Let’s skip autumn for a moment and check out the Hoppy Floppy Bunnies Seasonal stamp set for winter. This cute bunny is a combination of the winter bunny in that set along with the jingle bow added on the hat. This is one of my favorite bunnies and I love how she is looking over her shoulder. It reminds me of the scene in the movie Hop, where the bunny is sitting amongst all the other stuffed animals on the bed – oh yes, I want to pick you up and snuggle!!

Today I’m using the bunny in the pumpkin from Hoppy Floppy Bunnies Seasonal and decided I was going to add the pumpkin face and candy for a sweet Halloween scene. There are so many fun ways to color bunnies! This is an English Spot coloration which I’ve never seen in person. I didn’t know they had a stripe all the way down their back so that was cool to learn about.

Autumn is this way…

There is a new release this week and amongst the the Halloween stamps is a cute set of bunnies, Hoppy Floppy Bunnies Seasonal. For this card, I wanted to create a feel of transition from summer to fall so I used the hopping bunny and created this scene. The background uses the Autumn Vibes stamp and then I colored in the trees behind that. I loved how it turned out! Make sure to check out the new releases and drop the Hoppy Floppy Bunnies Seasonal in your cart. Oh yeah!
