Dove Art Blog Hop

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start! I am here this morning with a very special post. The DT from Little Miss Muffet Stamps and some of the ladies from the Make It Crafty DT have come together today for a fun blog hop and to share some exciting news!  Our friend, Jennifer Dove, has a wonderful new rubber stamp line called DoveArt Designs and Little Miss Muffet Stamps now carries them in the store!  Jennifer is focusing on nature images with lots of realistic details that will be perfect for coloring!  We know you will enjoy creating with these new stamps and they will be perfect for so many different occasions!

The full line-up for the hop is shown in the Inlinkz below. We hope you enjoy seeing everyone's creations!  We will be showing you just a few of the new stamps today, but the whole stamp line can be found HERE at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

OK, on to my project!  The stamp I have chosen to use is "Bird on a Branch":

 

My card base and mats are SU Crisp Cantaloupe and the pretty patterned papers are from the Prima Songbird 6x6 pad.  I colored the beautiful little sparrow image with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC. I didn't add any other embellishments so that the image could take center stage.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week and you have fun plans for the upcoming weekend!  It's pretty cold here, so my activities will likely be indoors!  Can't wait for it to warm up!  I am off to a late start today, but I am here with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  Our theme this week is "fairy tales /myths".  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image somewhere on your project. 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are GKD Smoky Slate and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Dilly Dally 6x6 pad.  The cool fairy tale image is Fearless Fairy Tales Rapunzel from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Since the sketch I used was a bit busy, I didn't add any more embellishments.

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Be safe out there today if you are doing the Black Friday sales!  I most definitely don't go out in those crowds, so I hope to catch up on some things around the house and maybe even get some crafting done.  I am here now with my DT post for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme for this last challenge of the month is "anything goes" with the option to add a Christmas twist.  The twist is completely optional, but if you are like me, you will welcome the chance to add another Christmas card to your stash.  You can use any coloring medium you'd like, but you must have a hand-colored image on your project to enter.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the patterned papers are from the Recollections City Sidewalks 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Phoebe Christmas Wish by Make it Crafty. She is one of the fab new Winter Girls digis that were released recently.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I'll add a sentiment later once I know who is getting this card.  Three Wild Orchid Crafts poinsettias finished my card.

Peace On Earth

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a terrific start!  My weekend was quiet, as expected.  I didn't get much crafting done, but I did manage to make a card for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing.

Here is my card:

I made up a Christmas card.  You can never have too many in your stash before the rush comes!  My card base and mats are SU Riding Hood Red and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Festive 6x6 pad.  The beautiful scene is A Robin's Christmas from Delicious Doodles.  I colored it with my Copics and added some Star Dust Stickles to make the snow sparkle.  The sentiment is a Flourishes stamp.  A punched border, some olive satin ribbon and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the scene:

Hit the Beach

Hi again!  I've got a second post for you today to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I enjoy doing.  Good thing I got well ahead of the game before my surgery, because I still can't sit long enough for coloring.   I hope I will be able to get back to it very soon.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are Kiwi Kiss and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Paradise Beach 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Glimmer by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Aqua, Green and Crystal Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  I cut out the image and popped it up on foam tape.  Some Kiwi satin ribbon and an aqua button finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
