Sparks

It’s a New Release week at Little Miss Muffet Stamps this week and we have four new images that I’ve posted into the store already. I’m actually out of town until Sunday evening so this is a quick post to give you the nitty-gritty details. ;D

The best part… from now until Sunday evening (8:00 pm Central Time), anyone who places an order of $10.00 or more can pick out a FREE digi!! Just include you choice in the comments section of your order and I’ll include it with your purchase! 😀


You’ve seen this project before but I added two more characters for Christmas … Sparks! This digi includes the hamster ball, guinea pig and rat just for the boys in the house! For all the original details on this project click HERE and to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT then click HERE. Chao! 😀

Megan

The challenge this round at Little Miss Muffet Stamps is to incorporate clouds into you project. That’s always a fun one and you can color your own or include clouds in your embellishments. Also, come on over to the challenge blog and make sure you see all the inspiration – there is a variety of ideas!! 😀


For my project I used Megan from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and combined her with Fern Log from Make it Crafty. I kept the card simple as I really liked how the colors on the images came out so I really wanted to draw all the attention into the center. So I minimized it to some chippes, rhinestone gems and two dragonfly brads to fill an empty spot up on the corner.

I’d like to enter this project into the following challenges.

Agent Cupcake Aiming

Welcome to the second day of previews for Little Miss Muffet Stamps and today I’m showing off the newest Agent in the Operation TREEHOUSE series… Agent Popcorn Aiming! Be sure to head on over to the store to see the Agent Popcorn in her cute pose too. ;D


Phew… this project took the longest time to finish as I had one mental block after another. I had colored Agent Popcorn a couple days ago then printed out a background to work on. However, today I made the mistake of changing out the kids summer clothes for winter ones before crafting and now I wish I had done it the other way around! LOL Now as I “rest” and enter in my details, I’m terribly distracted by a cute little movie called The Gruffalo. It’s darling and I’ll have to get the book from the library tomorrow.


Anyway, back to my project. He he he. This is Agent Popcorn taking aim against the boys next door. But don’t let those jumbo popcorn pellets fool you as I’m sure they’re filled with something gooey… maybe even something smelly too.


The background is Pebblestone Path from Make it Crafty. I had merged the images and printed them out together then realized I wanted to use dimensional for her so I colored the background ignoring the character. This gave me the opportunity to work on the grass and sky without worrying about lines. Afterward I colored the character black in case you could see between the layers. Once the project was finished I used dimensional foam and “popped” that girl right on. Enjoy!

Mitten & Button

It’s new release week at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and there are four adorable images going out! Today I’m using a couple Animal Friends, Mitten and Button, to create a warm holiday scene next to the Hearth & Home fireplace from Make it Crafty.


These two images were inspired by a few animal friends of my own – our little Ginger was a recent addition to our home but there was already an image of that name so I named her after my childhood pet dog, Mitten. We couldn’t have someone getting a puppy for Christmas without a kitten in the mix too so I drew Button after another past companion.


The Hearth & Home fireplace is from Make it Crafty and gave me another opportunity to color a fire. I wanted to focus on the inside of the fire pit as I wasn’t sure how to color it so this time I looked up images in Google and found a good image to reference. It’s not exact but still turned out nicely.


I colored each of the images large so creating the journal page would be quick and easy. I covered the back with decorative paper, wrapped a large ribbon around and positioned my images. Then added some MiC chippies, couple of pearls and lastly a few snowflake buttons – finished! 😀

Paprika

It’s another challenge day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and this round our theme is “Girlie Girl!” That’s an easy one for most of us so we want to see lots of pink, flowers, pearls and/or ribbon. ;D For my project I used Paprika and gave her a pink raincoat and rain hat. ;D


I had fun coloring a background for this image (details of that below) and once it was finished didn’t feel that all the grays clouds and blue skies fit the theme very well, so I added more pink through the papers, flowers and pearls. Yep, that looks better!


The rain puddle was a direct inspiration from Delphine‘s project using the same image. I loved how she had colored the water on top of the sidewalk so I gave that a try following her instructions. I like how it turned out but thought maybe next time I should leave more lighter areas – one things is for sure, she found the perfect colors and I love them. Thanks Delphine for the inspiration!

Agent Bubblegum Spying

Welcome to the second day of previews from Little Miss Muffet Stamps! Today we’re showing off Agent Bubblegum Spying and a fairy, Breena Stitching…. and I chose to make something with Agent Bubblegum Spying. 😀 Come on over to the LMM Challenge blog and see the rest of the inspirational projects the DT have made for you!


My source of inspiration came from Chris at Sketching Stamper as I was very impressed by her grassy fields of flowers and wanted to try it out. I love her coloring too and the way she adds multiple colors for shading – which I also wanted to try, but one thing at a time. ;D Here’s just two of her fields… Explorer Tilda and Spring Walk.


I started with the grass and used several of the YG colors with a few of the darker G range. Plus I added some Y in the mix and kept drawing in strands of tall grass until the pallet was completely covered. For the flowers, I got out some pink, blue and yellow acrylic paint and colored them with along with a few more strands of grass. Finally, I added some white strand with a gel pen and a few white flowers in the foreground.


I thought about adding a tree or some leaves at the top but then thought the image would be more in it’s place if there wasn’t any additional cover around. So I colored in the sky with B91, B60, C1 and C2. It’s not an exact duplicate but I like how it turned out enough that I think I’ll try it again. ;D I think it’s the yellow and flowers that really make it happen. Thanks Chris for the inspriation!
