I’m happy to share a new illustrated stamp that is now available in the shop: Frolicking Fennec Fox.

This piece began as a simple drawing inspired by the playful nature and distinctive features of real Fennec foxes. For the coloring, I chose light cream tones typical of a Fennec fox’s natural fur. These soft colors help maintain a gentle, airy feel while emphasizing the movement in the illustration.

The background was added at the last minute, using light and subtle colors so the fox would remain the focal point. The intention was to provide just enough context without competing with the main subject.

Frolicking Fennec Fox is now available at Sproatmeyer Stamps. For a limited introductory time, all products are offered at a new price point of $3.00.

Thank you for supporting my artwork and creative process.

I’m excited to share that new animal images are now at Sproatmeyer Stamps. This release includes several cute animals, including two brand-new skunks that pair perfectly together.

When the skunks are combined, they create a sweet Valentine-style image called Skunk Love; shown below. To celebrate, I’m offering this special image for free to my readers and followers when you add all three skunk images to your cart. The discount is automatic as long as all three are in your cart: Skunk Love, Shy Skunk and Skunk with Daffodil.

In addition, to help get the shop started, all stamps are 25% off as an introductory offer. It’s a great time to explore the new images, build your collection, and save while you do it. If you’re getting ready for Valentine projects or simply love adorable animal art, grab the new animal images, and enjoy coloring some Valentine’s cards.

This stamp is called “Pig with Butterfly.” I drew it by hand and turned it into a stamp, and I really loved how it came together. There was something simple and gentle about pairing the pig with a butterfly that just felt right.

I actually had a bit of a hard time deciding how pink to make the pig, and in the end I kept the coloring soft. Instead of fully coloring in the eyes, I made them smaller so it looks like the pig is slightly cross-eyed, staring at the butterfly. For the card, I kept the design clean and simple and used metal dies from Whimsy Stamps so the artwork could really stand out.

The sale ends tonight, so if this one’s been on your list, today’s the day to grab it.

This piece is called “Cow with Butterflies.” I drew and colored it by hand and then turned it into a card. The paper instantly made me think of farming, canned foods, and early mornings milking cows, so it felt like the perfect match for this cow. Not that I’ve ever experienced early mornings like that! LOL The card was assembled using metal dies from Whimsy Stamps.

It also happens to be the very first image I’ve drawn this year, which makes it feel extra special to me. If you’ve been eyeing something or waiting for a good time to shop, this is it — the sale ends tonight. Come visit Sproatmeyer Stamps and checkout with your favorites.

I had so much fun coloring my Unicorn Rearing stamp from Sproatmeyer Stamps! I wanted to create a truly magical feel, so I gave her rainbow sparkly hair and placed her among Celtic ruins, adding a touch of mystery and fantasy to the scene. I can’t wait to color this one again.

For the card design, I kept things simple with Whimsy Stamps metal dies, which framed the unicorn nicely without taking away from all the details.

I really love how this one turned out—it’s definitely one of my favorite projects recently! There’s something about the colors, the sparkle, and the magical vibe that just makes me smile every time I look at it.
