Make My Monday - Friendship #102

Its Monday and that means it's time for a new challenge over on the Make My Monday Blog!  The lovely Debbie is out host for this one and she has chosen - Friendship #102

I decided that my new stamp - "Friendship" by Penny Black was perfect for this challenge!

To create this card, I stamped the image in black memento ink, and coloured it with Prismacolor pencils.  The sea has been created using 3 die cuts for stencils, I used Mermaid lagoon distress oxide ink, and the sky was the clous stencil by MFT and I used Tumbeled glass distress oxide ink.  The sentiment is from the same set, stamped in black and die cut using a tag die.

These guys are so cute sailing in some rough seas!

I'm entering this one into the following Challenges

Penny Black - Balloon Ride

Hi all,

I'm not sure what it is at the moment, but I am loving coloring bears, dogs and balloons LOL

I've had to wait for this little guy to be back in stock, he's been out of stock for a while now but I knew I just had to have him... (you so know what I mean...don't you...yep i thought so LOL)

I coloured this one with my Prismacolor Pencils, on that eco friendly cardstock I was gifted.. it's not white white, it's an off white, but it works really well with the pencils..

Originally, I was going to fussy cut him out, but since I had stamped him with Inkon3 fade out ink in the middle of the cardstock, I thought I may as well just leave him there, mask him off and add the sky around him, with Soft Sky ink by Stampin Up! with my MFT cloud stencil.

After I finished colouring the bear, I went around him with a brown fineliner to add the bear fur back in, and I also went around the balloons too.

I'm entering this one into the Penny Black and More - July Summer Colours challenge

And Double D challenge - Birthday

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you like my little bear!

Penny Black - It's your day

Hi all,

Its a lovely morning here in Melbourne with lots of winter sunshine, which makes a change from all the wind & rain we have been having latley.

I was able to get decent photos of the card I was working on from early last week.

I coloured this one with my Prismacolor pencils, and fussy cut it out.  The sentiment is by mama elephant - Birthday Sentiments.  The embossing folder is an old Stampin Up! one, and I did a distress oxide blend before I embossed it,  The banner and the striped paper are both by MFT.

I'm entering this one into -

Wood Stamps

Hi all,

I was looking on my DVD shelving at my stamp collection and before photopolymer stamps came a long, most of my stamping collection was wood...

I must admit, I did love wood stamps but with the stamping tools now available I have made the move over to photopolymer stamps and I love them especially in my stamping platform!!

Would I go back to wood...well there are some stamps that I just can't possibly get rid of...like this Penny Black one... "Tender Showers"

That hedgehog is so cute! he's been coloured with Polychromos pencils and die cut using a wonky stitched rectangle die.

I thought I might enter this into the Penny Black challenge, I'm a little late with this one as I seem to have made quite a few cards for challenges lately LOL,

PBSC June - Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you like my golden oldie wood stamp!

Critters...

Hi all,

You know there was a time a while ago, when the only stamps I had were red rubber and were critters... Yes I did say it was a while ago...The Dinosaur era of stamping LOL..

Well I saw a challenge at Penny Black and More  - Blooms, Butterflies or Bugs   that made me want to take out a very old red rubber stamp by Penny Black and colour a Hedgehog... I can't remember the last time I coloured a critter??

On my desk was a piece of left over Neenah 100lb smooth Desert Storm paper, now I generally don't use this colour cardstock for stamping on but I made a card the other week and pencilled coloured on it and it turned out amazingly well, so I thought I'd give it a try...

I've used my Prismacolor pencils on this card and also two MFT stencils and distress ink, to achieve this look...I must admit it looks very different of Dessert Storm cardstock compared to White but I'm liking the look LOL..

Hope you like the card, maybe you might try coloring on Kraft coloured cardstock!

Thanks for stopping by!
