Polka Dot Pals Faces from Whimsy Stamps

~ sproatmeyer ~ 2 Comments

Today I have something different to share … but kinda the same! For this project, I wanted to combine the Polka Dot Pals Faces and a non-character stamp so I chose the Tall Cactus, both from Whimsy Stamps. I started by inking up the Tall Cactus with brown and green ink; I didn’t ink the center of the pot because that’s where the face was going to go.

I colored the face and the pot first and especially wanted to contort the face through coloring so I added a lot of lines and definition. Then I colored the cacti, adding more at the bottom for hair, and then added some flowers. Finally I was able to get to the background and I had a lot of fun with that.

Polka Dot Pals Delia from Whimsy Stamps

School is almost out and I can’t wait for the summer! Here’s a project I did for Kim Styles Cards who was looking for a background to color with Polka Dot Pals Delia from Whimsy Stamps. School reminds me of chalkboards, lots of books and school lockers. Emma did an amazing job with lockers so I chose to go with the chalkboards. (You can see Emma’s sample in the store.) And if you’re looking for one with books, here’s one I did with another school background.

I began with stamping Polka Dot Pals Delia and then off to the side I added the apples, earth and the ferret which are accessory stamps from Polka Dot Pals Eileen. I used one of the faces from the Polka Dot Pals Faces set.

Then when I colored, I blocked in a rectangle for the chalkboard and colored that green. The desk is a little tricky with perspective because I put it on an angle but you could easily put it straight. Then all that was left was the color the floor and everything else was the background wall.

Polka Dot Pals Gemma from Whimsy Stamps

Here’s the result of the first coloring session class that I held today. We knew it was going to be Polka Dot Pals Gemma and that I’d be coloring in eye details but how about that background?! I like to think of it as the end of the world but we can still make it. Check out Gemma’s bravado as she strolls home with her groceries and ready for another day. LOL

Polka Dot Pals Mieme DCS from Whimsy Stamps

Here’s a digital coloring scene that I haven’t had a chance to color yet and it’s one of my favorites. This is Polka Dot Pals Mieme Book Stand from Whimsy Stamps. The scene is complete with the clouds, stand, books, girls, face and even the apple. I have a couple scenes printed out so when I’m looking for a coloring book experience then I have them handy. It takes the guess work out of creating the scene.

I colored this one at the retreat so I only had a few colors that I took with me. I did borrow E41, E42 and E000 for the skin tone because mine were getting rather dry and sticky. I loved how it turned out.

Polka Dot Pals Mason from Whimsy Stamps

Sometimes I have left over images that I’ve stamped that are sitting on my desk for no reason. I don’t like to toss them out so they sit there until I find a use for them. This is one of those cases where I had an extra unicorn from Polka Dot Pals Mason. I needed to test out a new color combination so I nabbed it and colored away.

Funny thing is, after I colored it, it sat on my desk for another couple weeks until I figured out what to do with it. This bookmark came to mind and I used the Bold ABC Die and AlFaDoodles to create a scene reminiscent of an Easter Egg hunt. With additional flowers from Polka Dot Pals Mason and Polka Dot Pals Syeda, it added a whimsical look that I was going for.
Lastly I added some white accents with a gel pen and glitter glue in some areas.

Polka Dot Pals Ophelia from Whimsy Stamps

For this project, I used the cake, an accessory stamp from Polka Dot Pals Ophelia, and created a birthday card. It’s also an Easter themed or spring birthday card with the bunnies and carrot that I used from the same set. It made for a cute scene.
