Happy Love Day!

Happy Monday and Happy Valentine's Day! Do you have any fabulous plans? I'd love to hear!

Just sharing one more Valentine using a stamp from Penny Black called Hedgehog Kisses. My friend Ashley, formerly on the Penny Black design team, shared a coloring technique using distress inks and daubers.

I don't own any daubers and my LSS was out of them, so I used what I had--my ink blending tools and Fantastix for the cheeks and feet blush. The hedgies were colored with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain, Fired Brick for the balloons, and I used some make up blush for the cheeks and feet.

The background was stamped with Hero Arts' Large Canvas Stripes, and the ticket is from Purple Onion Designs. The "xoxo" is also by Hero Arts.

I loved using this technique--thanks, Ashley! It made for quick coloring and gave my Copics a little break.

Hope you all have a love-ly Valentine's Day! XOXO to you for stopping by today...

Bunny love!

I think by now most of my friends know that I'm a bunny lover ♥. We were the proud owners of four bunnies--three of which lived for 11 years! In bunny years, that's a long life.

When my dear friend Kiara created this adorable bunny digi, I just had to grab her and created a super quick card. This digi is a freebie which you can download in the Tiddly Inks PCP group here. If you're not a member, simply ask to join!

I used my Copics to lightly color the bunny and added some Stickles and Glossy Accents to the eyes, hearts, and wings. I finished off by stamping "Love Ya!" on the inside of this shaped card.



Kiara created this digi especially for her daughter, and I hope it's the start of many more digis from my creative friend. Thank you for sharing it with us, Kiara!

TD 09 -- Valentine Challenge

Tiffany Doodles' February challenge is all about Valentines! And Tiffany has added a ton of new Valentine images to her store, from banners to sentiments, and of course, hearts!

For my card, I chose the set of Love Letters. I love the vintage look of the letters and the words and sentiments that they form.

Since these are digital stamps, I played with the color on my computer to get as close as I could to the ink that I planned to use.

The background is stamped with Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design and the seam binding was dyed with Black Soot distress ink.

Tiffany has decided to shorten the challenge to two weeks and there's a change in the prizes, too.

For more information, visit Tiffany Doodles, see the rest of the design team's cards and be inspired to join us!

Stamps: Tiffany Doodles digital stamps, Hero Arts
Ink: Ranger distress inks, Hero Arts shadow ink
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink
Other: Nestabilities, rayon seam binding, pearls

Love you tons

I made a "lazy" card this weekend, using one of Penny Black's new Valentine images, Hedgehopper. I love this image of the flying hedgehog, trailing along some love. I call this a lazy card because it has very minimal coloring on it and I managed to give my Copics a rest.

I basically used just my Prismacolor pencils and highlighted most of the image. Gotta love this technique on kraft. I added some white dots on the clouds and a little Glossy Accents on the hearts and the card was done.

An easy peasy Valentine. And very lazy....

Thanks, always, for stopping by. Hope you're all off to a great week!
