Fancy Sunbonnet Patriotic

~ sproatmeyer ~ 2 Comments

Happy 4th Everyone!  I thought it was a perfect day to use Fancy Sunbonnet Patriotic from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and I have a project finished just in time to post it for the weekend.  😀  I stamped it in gray which is the usual color I’m using now days as I like the softer look but haven’t committed to the complete no lines look.  Then I colored it with my Copic Markers and placed her on a card… I was even fancy and brought out the diecuts for this project!

The mentionable products on my card are as follows:
Fancy Sunbonnet Patriotic USA from Little Miss Muffet Stamps
Happy Tabs Sentiment from Make it Crafty
(plus chipboard accessories from Make it Crafty)

Thanks for dropping by!  I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!

Polka Dot Pals Lottie

Are you ready for some red, white and blue hair?  Just in time for the summer to begin this is a scene I had stamped at the Texas Coloring Retreat back in March – and was lucky enough to color her among some great friends!!  Here she is now on a finished card.  Check it out…

I had fun with this image – as you can see – by coloring her hair blue and also using creative color placement to give this girl a face.  I wanted to go with big eyes and chubby cheeks so I think I got that mostly accomplished.  The ink I used was a gray instead of black to give is a softer look.

Thanks for coming by and have a great weekend!

Lucy’s Broken Dolly

~ sproatmeyer ~ 4 Comments

The challenge for Make it Colourful this month is combined with The Squirrel and the Fox Challenge blog which Make it Crafty is also sponsoring.   The part of the challenge I went for is “Something Girly” as well as “Pink and Brown” and the image I colored is Lucy’s Broken Dolly from Make it Crafty.  There are many “Zoe influences” on this card too – the lighter lines (not quite no-lines but getting closer LOL), the hair technique and the yellow glow in the background.  😀

I started a new ATC journal and Lucy is lucky enough to be on the first page!  I also used other fun things on here like the MiC chippie clock.  Then also some things from Faye too – the doily, buttons, and bird – thank you Faye!!  I’m excited to start the new journal so you’ll probably see more from me in the future.  😀

Aleisha

~ sproatmeyer ~ 6 Comments

I hope everyone had fun with the challenge this month to try out some creative color placement!  I’ve seen some brilliant ideas implemented and have really enjoyed the challenge.  😀  Coming in towards the end of the month, I have another one to add to the collection.  This is Aleisha from Make it Crafty colored with Prismacolor Pencils. 

And for the transformation to take full effect on your eyes, here’s the original image as found in the Make it Crafty store HERE.  I added ears and extended the bows.  Then the nose, face and whiskers were colored as a fox, of course.  The rest of the image is as-is.

The background was colored with various greens to make it look like a blurry leafy background.  Did it work?  Not sure but I still like how it turned out.  😀  I doodled around the outside then placed her on a simple card.  Here’s the final card…

Lastly are is a picture of the hair details.  I tried to work on the highlights and shadows in the hair strands – and getting that using different colors instead of light and dark.  I have about 7 colors from black to yellow.

Giant Flower with Razi Petal Sprite

~ sproatmeyer ~ 7 Comments

The Make it Colourful challenge this month is to (1) Easy: Color with non-traditional skin tones or (2) Hard: try Creative Color Placement by changing the look of an image through the coloring medium only.  This was right up my ally so I joined in with the hard challenge, of course.  The coloring medium I used are graphite pencils: 2H, F, 2B, 4B and 6B.

Sometimes the hardest part is selecting an image to color and for this project, I used from Giant Flower and Razi Petal Sprite from Make it Crafty.  I merged these two digital images together then started to plan out what I wanted to change.  Most of the time I color faces on faceless characters so my goal was use a non-character image.  I knew with the Giant Flower I could pull something off in the center, however, I still wanted a character and that’s how Razi came into the picture.

I’ll show you the original picture below (images from the MiC store) but for now… see if you can identify what I’ve changed.  There are some obvious ones but I’m sure there will be a few that you miss.  And if you DO miss some, then I like to count that as a success in being able to incorporate the differences in with the image.

The butterfly also has some chipboard corner embellishments from Make it Crafty too – did you see those? You can check out the store and look at the images and here they are merged in the same scene.  Thanks for dropping by!
