Picture Perfect.....

Hello all,

I have a card to share that I made using Rory, from Kith and Kin Stamp Co.

Not sure if it looks like it or not, but I tried to make it look like this was a frame, with her popping out of it.

I decided to watercolor this image with distress markers, then cut it out.  I popped it up on foam adhesive to make it stand out away from the base of the card.

I added this sentiment, thought it worked well with this card.

Thanks so much for taking a look, please head on over to Kith and Kin Stamp Co. to check out lots of digital stamps offered.

Hope you have a great day.

Sweet.......Geisha Charlie from Little Blue Button Stamps

Summer days are ahead.....toda I am sharing a card using the Sweet Geisha Charlie from Little Blue Button Stamps.

She is the perfect image for all those asian inspired papers and stamps.  I had a lot of fun watercoloring this image as well as the background too.

I first watercolored the image using distress inks, then die cut her using a Spellbinders die and layered it with another coordinating die.  

I am still having so much trouble trying to get the skin/face right....I seem to always get dark lines because I keep going over it, but it you didn't see this close up you might never notice it. =)

The background and the umbrella came from a Stampendous set, just love how it turned out.  Nice to be able to make your own patterned paper some times.  I popped some the image and umbrella on foam dots, then added these flowers...not exactly cherry blossoms, but thought the color went ok.

Hope you enjoy this and head on over to Little Blue Button Stamps to buy this image and so much more.  Olga, the owner is such an amazing artist and her images really are the perfect focal point to any card.

Thanks much, for stopping by.

Kith and Kin Stamps....Ella Ballerina

Hi there.....here again with a design team post for Kith and Kin Stamps using the great Ella Ballerina image.

So I have to say that although I may have not done this image justice with my coloring, I feel like it still turned out pretty good.

So I have been trying out different watercolor papers, just for my own knowledge and this one....well you can see it took the bottom of the list.  Just wasn't good at blending and the ink did bleed when I put water on it....so I had to be extra careful and go really light on the color.

But I figured I would pop her up on a card using this speech bubble die from Lawn Fawn.  Also I added some sequins to add a little sparkle and the Happy Birthday die to just finish off the sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed taking a peek.  Head on over to Kith and Kin Stamps for this and so many other great images.

Thanks for stopping by.

Treats for our four-legged friends........

Hi there....

Here today with a design team post for Kith and Kin Stamps using the Max digital image, so cute and thought what better kind of project then a treat can to hold some snacks for our four-legged buddies.

I first printed out the image on strathmore watercolor paper, then colored him up using distress markers.

Then I adhered the image to two stacked square die cuts, with some foam adhesive.  Then added some embellishments.

I cut some dog treat patterned paper and lined the paint can to make it a little more interesting.

Really enjoyed making this project, can't wait to give it to someone as a gift.

Hope you enjoy and head on over to Kith and Kin Stamps for this and lots of other great images, also catch them on facebook and like them for this and other great ideas for using their images.

Thanks for stopping by.

Kith and Kin Stamp Company......Design Team Project

Hi there.....wanted to share with you today, my first project using a Kith and Kin Stamp Company image, Cowgirl  I recently was lucky enough to join the Kith and Kin Design Team and decided my first project would be a little something different.

I made a altered bookmark using a bookmark die from Paper Smooches. 

I colored the image on watercolor paper with Derwent Inktense pencils, Tim Holtz distress markers and an aqua brush.  

I die cut the image using a Spellbinders die and then used Dusty Concord distress ink to ink the edges up to the image to make it stand out a little more.

The sentiments came from a stamp set from MFT, called Bookmark Basics.

Had lots of fun creating this project, look forward to making more with the great digital images from Kith and Kin Stamps.

Go check out Kith and Kin Stamp Company and see all of the great images they have available, or check them out on Facebook to and like their page.

Thanks so much for reading.
