Wee Bit of Luck

Hello friends,  

I bought this St. Patty's Day stamp last year and it has been sitting on my table for a full year.   I couldn't let this holiday go by without getting some ink on it.  I just think this frog is super cute!    

It has been a popular idea to cut stipes of paper to decorate part or all of a card.  I thought I'd give it a try. I cut up a bunch of green cardstock and green glitter cardstock.  I wanted them to be all different widths. Then just glued them to the white base until they met the frog's feet.  It was are really easy background to create.  

Copic colors used:

Frog: YG09, YG06, YG03, YG01

Green: G02, G05, G07

Red: R39, R37, R35

Good at Being Naughty

 Hello friends, 

For about three years now, I've been wanting to make some silly Christmas cards.  It is hard because I know that not everyone enjoys that style of card.  I thought that with everyone being stuck in quarantine that this year might a good year to bring a little extra laughter into the mix.    My next few posts are going to be featuring some silly stamps.  I hope you get a chuckle out of them. 

This frog made me smile the instant I saw him.  The expression on his face is just perfect.  I used a reverse masking and a stencil to create the cloudy background.  

Copics used:

Green: YG67, YG17, YG13, YG11

Grey: C7, C5, C3, C1

Red: R29, R24, R14

Light: YR12, Y15, Y13, Y11, Y00

I added glitter to the snow

Toad You

I purchased this stamp many years ago from a company called Mostly Animals.  Sadly, the company is no longer around.    Last week I was asked to host a coloring contest at the local youth center.  I wanted to find a challenging image that would appeal to kids of all ages.   These Toads were PERFECT!

The kids did a great job with their Toads.  I loved watching them work.  They aren't afraid to experiment with color or draw in more scenery.  It was a very hard contest to judge!
