Hello Crafters!

While it’s swirling snow outside my window and I really needed a sweet summer image.

The new Gone Fishing stamp from Whimsy Stamps fit the bill perfectly.

Seriously, How cute are these bears? I’m so jealous of them enjoying a warm summer day!

I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored them up with my Copic Markers.

The Copics I used are: 0, R00, R20, R32, R35, R29, BG0000, BG11, BG34, BG45, BG49, B0000, B01, B24, B32, B28, Y00, Y04, E50, E53, E55, E57, E59, YG01, YG03, YG17, and YG67

The sentiment from WPlus9’s Happy Mail was an awesome fit!

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hello and WELCOME!
It’s Friday!  Yea!   I hope everyone has a great weekend planned!

Today I am doing a video featuring light source, shadows  and shading.   This is a special request from my friend Kristine!
I have used the light source guides before but I wanted to explain how I use the linear guide in a little more detail.
I will share some of the other guides later!
But for now – let’s get started with  Shadows & Shading with the linear guide !
Here’s to you, Kristine!   😀

Hi everyone, Marlena here today bringing you a 3D Project on this first Thursday in November.  For my project I thought it would be fitting to use the Wee Stamps image, Lomasi(Pretty Flower) from Whimsy Stamps.  I was inspired by a book looking box made by one of my crafty friends Tabbatha so I thought for this week’s project I would give it a try.  Not to bad for a first attempt and a lot of fun to make.  I even modified a latch I have had for awhile to get the box to close.

I wanted to give my Native American girl a slight reddish tint to her face so I added E08 to my usual face colors and took away E0000.  So the colors I used for her skin were E13,E11, E08, E01, E000.  Her hair was 100, C9, C7, C5 and C3 and her clothes were E37, E33, E31, and E30.

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
