Miss Hood in the Woods

~ sproatmeyer ~ 14 Comments

I was experimenting with night time skies and decided to color up this merged image which includes Miss Hood and In the Woods from Make it Crafty – two images that were born to go together.  Of course, there are other possibilities with these images too! 

My experiment was to color a sky that looked like dawn or twilight without having it actually look like a sunset or sunrise.  So I stuck with the blues and made it dark at the top and light on the horizon.  I darkened the trees with blue as well then from the bottom corners I darkened the image with a little green.  I’m not sure if that’s what the woods would look like at dawn but I think I’m getting the general point across.  What do you think?

The card itself is extremely simple.  I had printed out the image 5.5″ by 4.25″ so I trimmed a bit off the edges and mounted it on black card stock.  Finished!  LOL

Another month is gone and the end of the year is approaching too fast for most of us!  But that doesn’t mean I’m always in the mood for winter or Christmas thing either!  So today I’m sharing a little bit of spring with my card and staying clear way from chilly things. LOL

Here’s a couple links that I’ll share, the first one being the image I used on this project which you can find in the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store.  And the second link is to the LMMS blog and LMMS gallery where you’ll find lots of other inspiration using these images!

plus accessories from the other Forest Friends rubber stamps

I also have another project to share from my daughter who loves to craft along side of me.  This is a hanging heart which is propped up by my wood block in the background.  She used lot of tool – in fact, in her opinion, the more tools and accessories, the better!

I always say it, but she’s so creative and it’s so much fun to craft with her!  Hopefully that will last through the teen years – even if that means we’re crafting side by side in silence.  But I know that it will be something we’ll enjoy through out our lives.  😀

Lately I’ve been working on a few goals and one of theme is to get all my “draft” posts into “scheduled” mode.  When I made the goal, I didn’t realize how much work it would be!  LOL  But on the other side of things, it’s been nice to have inspirational posts automatically pop up on my blog even on days when I prefer to slough from the craft room.  He he he

Here’s a close up of this adorable image drawn by Pollycraft!  I’ve colored this image before but this time I changed a few things and I think I like this version better.  🙂  First, the classes on her head are now reading glasses instead of sunglasses and second, the shopping bags have a stripped pattern.  So cute!

For the card, I used a simple layout but then started adding a bunch of odds and ends including the diectus and wire clothes hanger.  After all, she’s going to need that hanger when she gets home!  LOL

Extension from yesterday, here is the second card we created in the class at Scrappin’ Goodtimes!  We were using Sugar ‘n Spice Dolls Vanilla from Little Miss Muffet Stamps with her cute little butterfly.  We learned fuzzy texture and how to shade a face with cheeks.  This class was taught using the Marvy Le Plume markers which are a great affordable option for alcohol markers.  Thanks everyone in the class for a wonderful day!!
