Bee Hive and Polka Dot Pals Faces from Whimsy Stamps

~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

Here’s the results of the LIVE coloring session today – I enjoyed coloring the Bee Hive by DoveArt from Whimsy Stamps and then personalizing it with a face from Polka Dot Pals Faces. I also added the crown on the hive and thought that was cute message. Then for the sentiment, I used “bedazzling” from the Fill a Truck set and stamping that to say “bee-dazzling” for the theme.

The background was created on the fly (ha ha ha) and I added some extra flower and grass details in the foreground. Then I added some dimension with more flowers and Nuvo drops.

There are more coloring sessions available and I have a new sign up process – you’ll see thumbnails and details all on one page. Come check it out HERE.

Scratch & Scribble Playful Pups

Here’s another one of the sheets from the Scratch & Scribble Playful Pups kid’s set I found at the store. These are so fun and quick to put together plus the scratching is thera-pug-ic. Ha ha ha, yea I don’t think that pun worked very well. However, it’s nice to do something different after a whole bunch of coloring.

Polka Dot Pals Faces from Whimsy Stamps

~ sproatmeyer ~ 2 Comments

Today I have something different to share … but kinda the same! For this project, I wanted to combine the Polka Dot Pals Faces and a non-character stamp so I chose the Tall Cactus, both from Whimsy Stamps. I started by inking up the Tall Cactus with brown and green ink; I didn’t ink the center of the pot because that’s where the face was going to go.

I colored the face and the pot first and especially wanted to contort the face through coloring so I added a lot of lines and definition. Then I colored the cacti, adding more at the bottom for hair, and then added some flowers. Finally I was able to get to the background and I had a lot of fun with that.
