If you’re just tuning in, check out the previous post on all the release details and then pop into the LMMS Facebook group to catch up on everything. Today you’ll find tips on a second way to use the Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces in case alignment is a bit jittery.

For my project, I used Polka Dot Pals Lirienne and stamped her on Balsa Wood.  However, before I did that, I wiped the ink away from the pupil of her eyes.  This truly gave her a blank face!  LOL I wanted to do that so when I used the vampire face, the eyes would have an eerie glow to them. 

This is also a technique you could use if you had trouble aligning the eyes or if you wanted to use them on another type of image.  The easiest way to do this is to use a cotton swap.

I then colored my image using Prismacolor Pencils.  The skin tones were more grayish and white colors for a nice vampire glow.  The eyes and lips I did in red because I really wanted it to stand out and the white highlights help give it a finished look.  Coloring on Balsa Wood is my favorite way to use my pencils as the texture is very soft.

The rest of the card was put together with a bunch of odds and ends. Gesso was used on the back decorative paper and Make it Crafty Chipboard are some of the embellishments. I also used the metal dies Just Saying and Mini Alpha & Numbers Cutters from CC Designs.  Lastly for a bit of a fun element, I suspended the sentiment with an Action Wobbles Spring.

 For my project, I’m using Polka Dot Pals Toby with one of the alien Add-on Faces. I also used the Little Houses in the background. These houses come in both digital and clear stamp form. But during this event, if you order the Add-on Faces then you get the clear Little Houses FREE!

The sentiment was created using Make it Crafty Chipboard and then colored with a black Copic marker.  The blue gems were added to symbolize stars because I thought the background looked light night time in blues and no details. Then I wrapped the bottom of the card with twine to give the houses a solid ground feel.  Lastly, I added a little red to highlight the cape.

These are the Copic markers that I used to color Polka Dot Pals Toby:

B0000, 000, 00, 01, BG02, R00, 11
BV20, 23, 25

Polka Dot Pals Kacee

This is one of my all-time favorite cards for the season – I enjoyed using Polka Dot Pals Kacee but the best part came from a friend, Janice, who challenged me to color her using her brilliant idea and color scheme. She wanted to see it in a different light, and I too shared in that thought, so we challenged Jennifer to join along. All three turned out fabulous!

I started with the same color scheme and Creative Color Placement as Janice‘s original card and worked on making it more 3D… to “pop off the page” as she put it.  The spider on her card was my absolute favorite so that’s where I began. I kept with the blacks and reds but for the eyes and the darkest black tone, I used my BV colors instead. Sometimes adding in an unexpected color goes a long ways to add depth.

After she was finished, I peeked at Jennifer‘s card and fell in love with her take on it. She did an incredible job!  Her use of added webs was the icing on the top and an amazing addition.  So when I put my Pal on a card, I had to add some of those webs so I could be “cool” like her.

In the end, each of the cards have their own character and it’s one of the reasons why I like Polka Dot Pals so much. With the “blank faces” anything is possible!  Hope you enjoyed this creation and thank you Janice for providing some much needed fun.  😀  Happy Halloween!

The colors I have used on Polka Dot Pals Kacee are:
T1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
BV02, 04, 23, 25, 29

Polka Dot Pals Vickie

Here’s a project I’ve done using Polka Dot Pals Vickie and Little Houses from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, rubber stamps. I stamped Polka Dot Pals Vickie, masked her, then stamped the two houses in the back to create a scene. The list of colors is listed below, however, I think the pictures are much brighter here.

There is a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenges that opens today – link up any of your creations this week for a chance to win and be selected as the top picks. Top picks have a chance to earn a free stamp and be featured on the Customer Appreciation Day.

Today is also the start of the next Guest Design Team for LMMS. Welcome to all the new members and I’m so excited to get to know you a little more. 😀

These are the Copic Markers that I used:

Strawberry Sunbonnet Wagon

I’ve added to my envelop project with another image on an inside flap. This one is Strawberry Sunbonnet Wagon rubber stamp from LMMS. I’ve stamped it twice to get the double wagon. You can see the colors I used below.  This project was started so long ago that I’ve already expended the first deadline but have set another for mid September and hope to make that one.  LOL

For this panel, I also added some Make it Craft chipboard embellishments, but also lacy ribbon, gems, doily and cheesecloth, as you can plainly see all that.  😀

There’s a new Anything Goes Challenge that opened up today – you can pop over and add your favorite creation from this week.

Here are the Copic markers I used on Strawberry Sunbonnet Wagon:
