Sunbonnet Wade Fishing from Little Miss Muffet Stamps

May 24, 2021May 24, 2021 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

It’s time for some fishing!! I was experimenting with a pond scene and used this stamp, Sunbonnet Wade Fishing from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. Not wanting to leave it uncolored, I finished the card and made it into a coloring session class. You can sign up for the class HERE and choose between three fishing stamps. All of them will use the same colors and we’ll color the same scene – and it’s great for any birthday or Father’s day card when you need one.

I created this scene to help a friend out with coloring a pond. When I started, what I was doing didn’t turn out the way I had it in my mind but I kept going. It still didn’t look ok until I was finished with the whole card. Now, what stood out to me as an error doesn’t stand out any more. So it was a good reminder to just keep going.

Possum Set from Art Impressions

I found these cute animals and thought they would make a great male birthday card so I stamped almost all of them on a card and colored this scene. These from the Possum Set from Art Impressions and I used three of them to create this scene. I add extra branches and leaves and then completed the background with a little pond and some tall grass. My favorite part is the party possum tossing the confetti out in the air.

A new coloring session has been posted and it features this stamp, Fancy Sunbonnet Bride from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. You can sign up for this class HERE and then start thinking about the colors you’ll be using on your flowers. I choose blue because of the famous wedding recipe that starts with “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…”

Fill-a Wheel Barrel from Whimsy Stamps

May 19, 2021September 18, 2022 ~ sproatmeyer ~ 1 Comment

I finally got around to coloring the Fill a Wheel Barrel set from Whimsy Stamps and loved it! This is what I colored in the free coloring session yesterday. I got some direction on what elements to add and this was the end result.

You can sign up for more free coloring session as well as paid coloring session/classes HERE. The free coloring sessions are about visiting and everyone colors their own thing (or doesn’t color at all). It’s a great way to get to know everyone. The paid coloring session/classes are instructional based where I teach how to color that scene and the techniques that I use. Those sessions are recorded and you can re-watch them on YouTube whenever you’d like.

I got input from the room and stared with the Fill a Wheel Barrel and then we picked a filler from Fill a Truck. I stamped them in a no-lines ink color and didn’t worry about masking. I also stamped the watermelon vine off to the side. After coloring those items and the green of the ground, I moved on to the background. Someone mentioned adding a fence of some type so that reminded me of the fence from Polka Dot Pals Fern which worked perfectly. Then I colored that, sky then the shrubs and finally added the sentiment from Polka Dot Pals Kezia. It couldn’t have been a better fit.

Polka Dot Pals Delia from Whimsy Stamps

May 18, 2021May 17, 2021 ~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

School is almost out and I can’t wait for the summer! Here’s a project I did for Kim Styles Cards who was looking for a background to color with Polka Dot Pals Delia from Whimsy Stamps. School reminds me of chalkboards, lots of books and school lockers. Emma did an amazing job with lockers so I chose to go with the chalkboards. (You can see Emma’s sample in the store.) And if you’re looking for one with books, here’s one I did with another school background.
