Not My Monkey....

The current challenge on the Lost Coast Designs blog is
"No Body Here"
translated...no humans allowed!

I am so excited to share this card with you...

I have been bursting with excitement ever since I made it!

I stamped the monkey face onto a piece of white cardstock and he was masked over. I then wrote over and over "That moment you realize this is your circus and these are your monkies." on the background. I stamped the "Not My Circus" sentiment several times over the writing then removed the mask.

I then set about coloring him with Prismacolor colored pencils and I extended his hair a bit with the colored pencils just to give him a bit of a frazzled look...how I feel sometimes - LOL!!

I have to say I am so pleased with how cool he turned out!

That look on his face is priceless!

I hope you'll join us for the
No Body Here Challenge!

Birthday Bunnies

Hello all my inky friends! I hope you've been doing well recently. I know I've been a bit MIA lately...I've been strolling down memory lane. I rescued a bunch of old family photos and paper memorabilia from a dumpster. Yes I've been dumpster diving - well technically Bob (youngest son) did the diving (thanks Bob!), I did the sorting - LOL!! I can't wait to share some of it with you...it brought back so many memories as well as surprises as I hadn't seen most of the photos and none of the other ephemera.

Anyway, today I took a bit of a break to make a card for a friend! She recently turned 50 and is having a celebration over on her blog - Crafty Nomad - a Bunny Hop - lol... She loves bunnies and is featurning bunny art on several of her posts. She invited everyone to help her play along by posting a bunny card of our own creation so I thought I'd join in the fun. Here is the card I made her....

To make the card I sprinkled a tiny bit of Nuance pigment powder onto my craft mat...one blue, turquoise and a lime green color. Remember, just a teeny tiny bit - a little goes a long way when using it for monoprinting. I then misted the powder with water and pounced several white card panels on the resulting colorful mix. I then let them all dry.

Next I stamped the bunnies onto one of the panels, colored with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and used an Inktense watercolor pencil to create the grass. Finally I stamped the sentiment then mounted it onto a blue card blank.

A close up of the bunnies...

I tried to give them each their own personality.

This was so much fun I may have to make another bunny card!

Just playin' around with one of my stamps I haven't used in a while...Princess of Everything! Isn't she great?

Lost Coast Designs - Princess of Everything

The card is assembled using an old bingo card that I swished around some watercolor paint, the white piece in the lower right corner was made by sprinkling on a bit of Nuance powdered pigments on watercolor. After I stuck them down to the card I flicked on a bit of blue watercolor paint.

The little princess was stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and then colored with Prismacolor colored pencils. I fussy cut her then pop dotted her onto the card. The sentiment which is actually below the image when stamped was cut, glued then outlined.

I added the sparklie washi tape to the side just for an extra bit of bling. You can't see it in this photo very well but her pinafore has a bit of micro fine glitter along the edges as well.

This card fits into the challenge over on Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's challenge: Say What??

My Blue Poinsettias

Today I have another card to share made using the Power Poppy digital stamp Poinsettia and Pomegranates. It's such a pretty image, I really like it. It's lots of fun to color too!

I mentioned last week that I'd like to try one in blues because it's my favorite color. As it happens Color Throwdown #469 consisted of a couple shades of blue paired with silver. Of course that's usually a nice combination for snow and winter scenes but hey, it works for flowers too right? That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

I colored the images using Prismacolor Colored Pencils and silver for all of the foliage. The sentiments are from the 2017 Holiday kit - Scandinavian Holiday.

I was lovin' the colors so much I even colored a piece for the inside as well. I usually like to leave the inside of the card for correspondence but when this one gets sent I'll just have to write on a separate piece of paper.

I would like to submit this card to the following:
