Fancy Sunbonnet Winter Snowball

~ sproatmeyer ~ 3 Comments

It’s never too early to start on those Christmas cards and this one was created for the class I taught at Scrapping Goodtime back in July.  The stamp I used is Fancy Sunbonnet Winter Snowball rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and I also used the Park Glen Metal Door and Screen Door Refills on this project.  On the door I used a jingle bell looking wreath that was on a pin.  I’m not sure what it was called but it looked perfect for the door so I had to use it.  😀  The pin part was tucked under the image layer but it also helps to keep it in place.

The class was focused on the snowball texture and general blending techniques and there was a great group of gals there to share it with.  Thank you to Scrapping Goodtime and for everyone there!  😀

Polka Dot Pals Neva

Check this out!  Well, not too closely but you can still check it out.  LOL  This is Polka Dot Pals Neva from Little Miss Muffet Stamps on a page in my travel journal (aka The Poor Richard’s Almanac book).  I’ve colored this one with Prismacolor pencils which went well for the most part.  However, I had some difficulty with the paper and the colors started to rub off.  You can see that around the left knee and the package ribbon.

One of the things I wanted to try out was a shadow behind the image looking like it’s cast upon the wall.  However, I don’t think it worked very well and I’m not sure why.  I shifted the shadow to the right but perhaps if I had also shifted it down that might have helped.  Something to try on the next one. 😀

Sunbonnet Strawberry Big

Sometimes the project is all about the colors for me and how they work together so I’m pleased at how this project turned out.  I liked the combination of baby blue with pinks on this project.  🙂  The stamp I used is Sunbonnet Strawberry Big rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. The big strawberry gave me a chance to try coloring around the seeds giving the strawberry an edge.  I was hoping the seeds would look more realistic but I think I reversed the shadow on the edge. LOL  Well, I tried and that counts.  😀

I colored this using the Marvy Le Plume markers and used my sewing machine to stitch around the card.  The pink drops are those melty plastic craft beads that I placed in the oven to melt into this shape.  Thanks to Rosemary who pointed me to a tutorial on how to do it, I was able to create a whole bunch.  It was fun and an inexpensive way to get a pile of dew drops to use.

Swings ‘n Slides Little Miss Christmas

~ sproatmeyer ~ 3 Comments

Here’s another page I’ve added to my ATC Journal book, this time using Swings ‘n Slides Little Miss Christmas in a Christmas theme, of course.  This is a rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. 

The image was colored using Copic markers then cut out and popped on the project.  The papers in the background are from a Christmas themed stack and I was lukcy enough to have some ribbon to match.  I think ribbon was very “IN” a while ago because I seem to have a huge quantity!  LOL  Now I hardly use it so it feels good to use some of my stash once in a while.  😀

The rest of the page was decorated with a paper doily (thank you Faye!), some metal snowflakes and a few chipboard corners (from Make it Crafty).  Lastly, I tied a little piece of string at the top of the ribbon to keep all those layers together.  I wasn’t sure if the layers of ribbon would show up in the picture but it turned out ok.  😀  I hope you enjoy this project and thanks for coming by to check it out!

Fearless Fairy Tales Sleeping Beauty

http://www.inlinkz.com/cs.php?id=422774 The image I chose to use was Fearless Fairy Tales Sleeping Beauty; I also used the Birds on a Wire Metal Die in the background.  I put these together with papers from Storytime paper pad from We R Memory Keepers.

(I’m a bit late so I’m going to post and then come back with more details.  LOL  So if you get a chance… drop by again soon!)

I’m back and must say I had the best time hoping through the link collection! And being last on the list, I hope you’ve been sufficiently satisfied and fancifulified with so much inspiration that you’ve got to have them all! I know I have.  🙂  [My Aunt-in-law used to say “sufficiently satiated and fancifulified” after eating out that the lyrical phrase just kinda stuck with me. LOL So I’m glad I was able to put it to use.]

I’ve been so lucky to have all our guests and DT members join for this blog hop and I hope you’ve been just as amazed as I have with everyone’s creations!  Thanks for joining us in the blog hop and thank you go our guests too!

Polka Dot Pals Lottie

~ sproatmeyer ~ 2 Comments

This is Polka Dot Pals Lottie from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and is one of my favorites from this season!  Partly because this was the stamp that I had made for the coloring retreat when we all got together in March – best weekend eva!  The other part is because she is so fun to color – just look at all that hair – what a dream.  😀

This is the second card that I created for the classes I taught at Scrapping Goodtime in June (which now I’m thinking it was in May?!)  But never the less, we were working on light source and breaking down the image into sections so we could focus on where the light part should be and where the darker part should be.  I always think it’s easier to work on light source with monochromatic colors so transposing the same concepts to colors always takes our brains for a ride.  In addition, I tend to keep my colors lighter and so the effect is more subtle. 

This coloring along was done using the Marvy Le Plume markers and the card layout was kept simple so we could focus more on the coloring part rather than the card making part.  (Which I think is the better portion anyway.  LOL)  The weekend was great and full of other coloring too – so stay tuned and watch for more inspiration to pop up!  *Hugs
