Isabella

~ sproatmeyer ~ 6 Comments

Here’s an image I’ve been trying to color for years!  This is Isabella and is an Emerald Faeries rubber stamp.  I was in a bluish-purplish mood but I’m not sure I like the outcome.  I’ll have to use a different color next time.  The sentiment and butterflies are a chipboard embellishments from Make it Crafty.

I have a bunch of colored images that I’m going through and it feels nice to get some quick projects done.  The image I’m coloring on right now has been a long process with a few minutes here and there.  Hopefully I’ll get it done soon, but in the mean time, you can enjoy these other quick projects.  Hope you have a great Sunday! 

Polka Dot Pals Lottie

I’m joining in the challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps today, and we’re playing Bingo!  I went diagonally on the Bingo board and included decorative paper, a LMM stamp, and diecuts. 

This is Polka Dot Pals Lottie that I colored after an image that Nicky had brought to the event. I loved the whimsical feel of her project and she stepped me through how to create that look on this stamp. She had taken a workshop from Megan K. Suarez Fine Art.  I think she turned out great, and that was all help to Nicky – thank you!

Dimensions Craft Fox

Here are some more fun felting projects that I did with my girls.  These foxes were created from kits.  The one I did is a “Dimensions Craft Fox” and the girls use the “Klutz Felted Friends” kit.  It was a fun project to do together. This guy’s not for throwing and I think I’ll put him on my craft desk to watch over me.  😀

I have yet to tell them the felting joke… you know, the one right?  You point to anything (that isn’t felted) and ask them if that’s felt.  When they say no, then touch it, and say “well, it is now.”  Hardy-har-har

Girl with Rose

This is a hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamp from the Messenger Kit 26 set.  I can only assume her name is Girl with Rose but I actually don’t know.  Anyway, she was fun to color and I used my pencils to work on this one.  This was another one I colored back at the Texas Coloring Retreat.

I gave this gal a detailed face.  Usually, the dots on the stamp are used as the pupil in the eyes, but this time, I used them for the center edges of the eyes.  I also colored her dress with some black seeds so it looked like a strawberry dress.  Hope you enjoy and have a great Sunday!

Woolbuddy Frog

I’ve been branching out and having some fun with felting.  I use the “Woolbuddy Felting Frog” kit for this little guy.  It was my first experience so I made some mistakes and I think the eyes are all wrong.  I even broke my three needles that I had.  Boo-hoo!  But it was still so much fun that I bought another kit and even one for my girls to play with.  This guy will be perfect to toss around and have some fun with – he’s built pretty firm so I doubt anything can mess him up.  Update: Yeah, I was wrong and the dog proved that to me. LOL

Polka Dot Pals Vickie

Today, Little Miss Muffet Stamps is sponsoring Cards und More Challenges.  The challenge theme is to use “no pattern paper.”  I had to think about that for a while because it’s usually my first go to item.  But hopefully I managed and was happy with how the card turned out.  🙂

I used Polka Dot Pals Vickie and colored in some wings and a detailed eye.  I was going for a more Halloween vibe for a little coloring fun this season.  Thanks for coming by – I hope you enjoy and have a great day!
