Top hat

Hello. Playing in the The Paper Players theme challenge today. 

I just got this stamp set from the Colorado Craft Company because it had this big top hat that Frosty the snowman wears. Loved it on sight.

I colored this using a lot of different mediums. I started off with Copic markers, added polychromo pencils, then black soot distress ink and highlighted with unicorn white pigment ink. 

I kept the background of this 5 x 7 card simple, using only a snowflake embossing folder and matted it with black cardstock. I wanted the hat to stand out and be the star of the show. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Crocus

Hey there - Decided to try my hand coloring up some crocus using colored pencils on kraft cardstock.

I used polychromos this time around. Crocus stamp is from Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society. I stamped it in versamark then heat embossed in detail white.

Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. The stitched frame dies are from MFT.

Entering this into the Inkspirational designers choice challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello

Hello.

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to follow the photo below as inspiration.

I got out my new Faber Castel polychromos to color this little guy up. Also dusted off my deckled rectangle dies from Spellbinder to cut him out. Used some vintage photo distress ink with a sponge dauber to darken the edges. Did the same on the designer paper in the background. Added some twine to this for some decoration in the back. Card base is a dark chocolate brown.
