Adela & Dida Inventing

~ sproatmeyer ~ 29 Comments

This is my green face project. Green face you say? Well, ya, sort of. ;D It was a personal challenge among friends to color a face like Trev Murphy who often using a touch of green and yellow to create a glow to the skin. Some of his images reveal a little more green than others but it was our goal to give it a try!


I had watched his demo and recorded all the colors he used then gave it a go, however, my first attempt was too dark and it was difficult to blend the colors the way I had used them. So this is my next attempt where I integrated his style with my own. Some of the colors used was my typical set of skin tones (E000, E00, E21 and E13) but I also incorporated several of his own colors (G20, YR61, Y000, Y11, E95, E37, E19, E02).


At first it looked horrible – and I mean sickly horrible! But then I forced myself to finish the project and added colors that helped accent the skin tones. By just having all the white around on the unfinished project appeared to be the problem because it doesn’t look so bad now.


The images I used are Adela & Dida Inventing from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and Steampunk House from Make it Crafty. The funny thing is I used the background image in the foreground… it added a little humor to my day. ;D


As you can see this is another page in the summer journal. I embellished it with a few metal gears and added a compass arrow on one of them. Then some Baker’s twine and dew drops to finish it off … oh, and some Make it Crafty chippies and a button brad on the other side.

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:
Make My Monday – torn or crumpled
Stamps + Fun = CREATIVITY – digital stamps
Lollipop Crafts – anything goes


Above is a close up of the Steampunk House – I’m happy with the steel and brass colors but I think the copper comes off a little too orange. Older copper starts to turn green to I had fun coloring some areas with green and gray to get that look. Hope you enjoy it and good luck if you choose to take this challenge… coloring a “green” face! 😀

Adela and Dida

Good morning and welcome to another challenge with Make it Colourful!! Are you ready for an easy one? For this challenge we want you to “Colouring Hair with any colours EXCEPT black/Brown/Red/Blonde.” So for my color of choice… I went with purples! (Specifically Copic markers BV000, BV02, BV04, and BV13). Hope you enjoy this project and come along and play this week. ;D


Our sponsor this week is Quixotic Paperie which stock many of Make it Crafty rubber stamps and chippies including the ones I used on the background of my project… Whimsical Log and Fine Swirls chippies. The fairy image on the card is Adela and Dida from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.


The other embellishments are baker’s twine, wide organdy ribbon, a Prima (I think) flower and plastic green leaves I found in the floral section of the craft store. I’m hoping to go find more because I like the frosty look and how they turned out on the card.


Here’s a close up of the fairy’s face and might I just add that I love digital image processing! After my project was finished, and sometime while I wasn’t looking, my daughter decided to get the red marker out and added a dot right at the center base of the wing!! It’s always red, isn’t it?! She said it looked pretty. 😀

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:
My Sheri Crafts – faithful companions
Bling It On – anything goes
By the Cute and Girly – things with wings
Copic Creations #54 – pastel colors
The Emerald Faerie – all things nice

Update: I was the winner and selected guest designer at My Sheri Crafts for this challenge!

Quinceañera Dance

~ sproatmeyer ~ 12 Comments

Here’s my second image this week showing off the new releases over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps! This one is Quinceañera Dance and is one I colored while thinking about princess gowns. I had originally searched for Prom dresses but I wanted something more innocent and the Quinceañera (15 years old) dresses were perfect.


I created another page in my summer journal and trying hard to stick with flat embellishments. However, all those small things add up and the book is starting to bulge! I might have to stop at 10 pages and start another book – either that or find an easy method of book binding. Any ideas?


I embellished it with a few odds and ends from around my desk area plus some of my favorite chippies from Make it Crafty. I covered them with a Gold Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber and cut around the some parts to make it fit. Then I sprinkled on a few pearls and gems and finished it up with a blue dragonfly.


Here’s a close up of Quinceañera Dance with her green dress and long wavy hair. I couldn’t resit adding a little sparkle and added the flower gem in her hair. Now she’s ready for her big birthday celebration!

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:
Moving Along with the Times Challenge – favorite things (princess girls)
Pixie Dust Studio Challenges – girly girl
Southern Girls Challenges – Happy Birthday
Stampin’ B’s Challenges – make it with bling
Ruby’s Rainbow Challenges – Happy Birthday

Here’s Lydia’s card for the release. She has this keen ear for listening when I’m printing out my digital images! She’ll always run up at the right moment and beg… “Can I have that one too!?”

Riley

Welcome to another New Release day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps! I’m excited to show you four new images this week starting off with this one, Riley. Head on over to the challenge blog to see more inspiration using this image and Iris May Hatter too. ;D


I created this card as a class for my church group and wanted to go with something simple yet eye catching – so I used bold colors and large sized embellishments to do the trick. We’re going to print out the image with different color shirts so we can focus on the card making rather than coloring. So I hope it goes over well. ;D


My inspiration for this image came when we were out camping the other week – The kids spent lots of time in the park area swinging and what else was I to do? I wasn’t in the mood for swinging so I whipped out the sketch book at went to town. Hope you like it and head on over to the challenge blog to see more New Release Inspiration!

I’d like to enter this into the following challenges:
Bearly-Mine Challenge #14 – Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly Challenge – red, orange, yellow
Crafty Hos’ Challenge – warm colors
The Pixie Cottage Challenge – ribbons

Father’s Lion

~ sproatmeyer ~ 8 Comments

It’s another challenge day with Little Miss Muffet Challenges and our theme is “Anything but a card!” (Or IF you’re using a Little Miss Muffet Stamp then the theme is “Anything Goes!”) I created a package tag that I made for a gift using the image called Father’s Lion.


This cute lion was the perfect touch I needed to dress up an otherwise plain gift and I love how easily it came together. The little tag is a diecut that just arrived in my mail. ;D You’ll also want to check out the challenge blog because we’re currently holding a DT Call!

Adela and Dida Inventing

~ sproatmeyer ~ 10 Comments

A Mom can do anything… and so can a fairy! This is Adela the fairy and her little dog Dida who just finishing up a task and is waiting for the next work project. 😀 If I was to include a sentiment it would be one that I saw on Melissa‘s project last week… “A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. A woman must do what he can’t.”


This fairy is another new releases at Little Miss Muffet Stamps the the second fairy I’ve added. ;D I have another one planned so I hope you like her character. ;D I colored in cool colors this time and used up the last of my gear chippies – I’ll have to order more!


Other than adding a few gems and drawing in some faux stitching that pretty much completes the card. But in other great news… come check out the Little Miss Muffet Store as I’ve made some huge changes. I’ve made it easier to find images and gave them a fun uniform look. Enjoy and I hope you like the postcards!
