Iris May Hatter

~ sproatmeyer ~ 2 Comments

Today I’m 85 miles away from home sharing my day with the lovely ladies at Scrapin’ Goodtime in Corsicana, Texas!!  (Find them Online and FaceBook!)  I’m teach two classes today and excited to share my coloring techniques.  😀  My first class is using Iris May Hatter and the Park Glen Door metal die to create this project…

The two techniques I’ll share on this card is blending with a flicking technique I always use; plus an easy grass-ground I learned from Jennifer.

Funny story about the door knob I created on here… I had cut the ends of the brad close so that the knob could turn and the ends wouldn’t show as it was twisted.  It was pretty fun and I was pretty excited!  So I glued down the door and wrote a little note on the inside for the store that said “turn the knob!”  But guess what?!  Through shipping and a little glue it arrived stuck!  LOL  Eh, it was a good thought anyway.  😀

Tea Party Friends – Molly

The challenge this fortnight at Little Miss Muffet Stamps is a color challenge to mainly use “Pink and Grey” on your project.  This is always a great combination and the card I created was inspired by some of Faye’s projects – she has adorable little note cards and I’ve always ooo’d and aaa’d them!  So using her layout, this is what I came up with…

The stamp I used is the elephant from Tea Party Friends Naomi and Maya from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  Naomi is the elephant and Maya is the bunny.  And what better color for the elephant than gray?!  Yep, my thoughts exactly!  LOL

You can find this rubber stamp in the LMMS Store and come on over to the LMMS Challenge Blog to see all the other projects using pink and gray – they’re gorgeous!

Fancy Sunbonnet School

With more and more kids starting school, I thought this would be a good time to share some inspiration using the Fancy Sunbonnet School image available in rubber at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!  This is such an adorable image and reminds me a lot of when I was a kid and watching Little House on the Prairie on the tellie.  I loved that show and was so excited to later learn that it was originally a book series!  Squeal!  😀

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!

Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you’ve been inspired one way or t’other.  Cheers!

I wasn’t able to make anything for the Super Saturday post today for Little Miss Muffet Stamps but I also didn’t want you to miss out on the specials and inspiration for today either!  So instead of having something with Wilma Kay Hatter or Snail Crawling, I’m showing an older project I colored with my Prismacolor Pencils….

I’ve used a couple images on this project and combined them to make a scene.  Then assembled the card with a simple layout which leaves all the focus on the image and bright colors in the center.  Here’s the images from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and Make it Crafty that I combined together:

To color this image I used Prismacolor Pencils and lots of layering!  My technique consisted of using the darkest color and working my way up to the light; and gradually increasing the pressure as well.  Then by time I was on the lightest color, I was pressing the hardest and also blending all around.  This was how I was able to get the smoothest coloring as possible.

There are a few white specks that weren’t able to get blended in with the colors but I think that’s because the texture of my paper was a little too much.  Next time I’ll have to try a smoother paper and see if it works better.  🙂  Thanks for coming by today and make sure you visit the LMMS Blog to see all the gorgeous inspiration from the DT gals!! 

Polka Dot Pals Peggy

We have a fantastic release over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps that you’re going to fall in love with!  Why?  We have new Polka Dot Pals to play with!!  Plus a few feline friends that have joined the mix.  🙂  You’ll want to make sure to visit the LMMS Blog to see the inspiration from the design team as they have done a superb job with these images!  I on the other hand, flubbed coloring my image but hopefully you’ll still be impressed.  LOL

First of all, my project uses the new Polka Dot Pals Peggy and Polka Dot Pals Feline Sitting that were released today at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I’ve also used the Park Glen Door Metal Die in the background (also from LMMS) plus a few elements from Make it Crafty to create the this scene, which includes Ivy Ribbon Swing and elements from Whimsical Digi Elements.

My experimenting was on the face.  Last time I tried to do a face with an open mouth (click HERE), the mouth just didn’t look right.  So this time I used inspiration from the picture on this site HERE (look for the boy eating the tomato) and I did better than last time.  However, the rest of the face makes her look like an old lady!  Yikes!  O’well, I’ll try again next time and hopefully have better luck.  LOL

Graffiti MiC

‘Sup Make it Crafty fans?!  Remember the project I was coloring and posted on Make it Crafty FaceBook?  Well, here’s the final result and if you remember the before version then you’ll notice I wasn’t very brave with my ongoings!  LOL  I was planning on casting hard dark shadows and darkening most of it as if a street lamp was the only source.  But I had liked what I colored too much to venture any further.  ;D

This project revisits the Urban Street Collection and also shows off a secrete MiC graffiti sentiment for Make it Crafty fans!  (More on the graffiti sentiments, from Little Miss Muffet Stamps, will be revealed here later this month.  I know, it’s such a tease!)  To create this scene, I’ve used elements from the Urban Street, Factory Elements and Urban Fencing combo packs from Make it Crafty but you can get them all in the Urban Street Collection.  And trust me… you’re going to want them ALL!  The character is a Toxic Teen from Simply B Stamps.  As an embellishment, I took some soft metal I had and used metal stamps to create the “be crafty” sentiment.  ‘Cuz, you know… Make it Crafty… be crafty?! 

The colors were inspired by Faye when she submitted her own project into the teal, mustard and brown color challenge in the MiC FaceBook group.  I was impressed by the mustard color choices and just had to try them out!  The teal didn’t work out for me as well as it did for her, but the general color is there to count.
