Hi all!  Alyssa here!  I’m back today with a saucy little number from the new Greeting Farm rubber stamp set, Naughty or Nice.  This is the Naughty girl – such a little devil!  ;o)

I was focusing on her red outfit using R27, R29, R39 and the new to Ciao marker, RV69.  Normally, I wouldn’t think to shade the R’s with an RV, but it really lends itself to a deeper, richer shadow. 
Her hair is colored with E15, E31, E33, E37 and a touch of E49.  The E15 is a more coppery brown, and gives her hair a more natural gradient. 

To add a little sparkle to this naughty girl, I went over her pitchfork and shoes with a Black AtYou Spica pen.  Her horns have just a hint of sparkle on the lighter areas with a Red AtYou Spica pen.  Sparkle is just so hard to capture, but if you click on the detail picture, you can kind of see the glitter on her horns.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!  :o) lyss

COPICS USED:
C1, C3, C5, E000, E00, E11, E15, E31, E33, E37, E49, R20, R27, R29, R39, RV69, YG63

Hi! It’s Linda here, and I want to share a tag I created using the new SP & Company stamp set, ‘Artsy Heartsy’. Here is the set.

I absolutely love the various textures of the hearts; I would have to say the ‘hounds tooth’ is my favorite. There also are five sentiments which make this a great set for creating valentines, gift tags, and decorative elements for scrapbook layouts. You can see SP & Company stamps HERE.

Here is my tag.

To make the heart flower embellishment for my tag, I stamped the ‘wavy’ heart four times on white cardstock. I cut the hearts out with a Spellbinder Nestabilities, adhered them to a circle, and then adhered the circle to a scalloped circle. I used Memento tuxedo black ink to stamp the hearts just in case I decided to color them with Copic markers.

The ‘dotted’ heart on the clothespin was stamped on pink cardstock and cut out.

This photograph shows the ‘cross-hatch’ hearts that I really like also. 
Well, I’m off to stamp more hearts and make more tags. Hope you have a creative day. Stay warm! Linda

Hi all!  It’s Alyssa today with a fun little valentine’s day card.  I really wanted to focus today on skin shading and use some of my newer skin tones.  This cute little Cupid is a free digital stamp I found somewhere in my blog hopping.  ETA: This Cupid was a freebie that was given away on the Make It Crafty blog for Christmas.  He is now for sale.  He’s just adorable and oh.so.fun to color!  I’ll start with the close up of the coloring:
