Colouring video: LotV Grace Love

I have a new colouring video up on my YouTube channel today where I have coloured up one of the new Lili of the Valley stamps that is released today. It is a new line, Grace, and the stamp is called Love. You can find the stamp here. As these are digital stamps you can resize them (do make sure it’s proportional, though) to whichever size you fancy. For a limited time they are also available to pre-order as clear stamps. For the video I’ve used the the pencil sketch version of the stamp and printed it in faint lines to get a no-line effect.

There is no audio for this and as it’s pretty quick to colour it up, the video is only 10 minutes long, which is edited down and sped up a little from the 17 minutes it took me to colour her up.

I have not made the card with this image yet, but I plan to have it done and posted up on the blog next week.

RAM + MFT: Birthday cutie

There is another new release coming to MFT Stamps this month where Rachelle Anne Miller‘s illustrations are present. I’ve been lucky enough to play with this one before it’s being released Tuesday next week. It’s such an adorable little stamp! I’ve stamped it with Fade-Out Ink and did a no-line version. Once again my markers were arguing with me, so this is the third one I coloured up.

The background is made using Scattered Straw and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks and then I used MFT’s Happy Birthday background stamp on top. The sentiment at the bottom is from the same stamp set as the girl and the stitched rectangle die is also from MFT Stamps.

Copics used: YR31, YR21, YR23, E35, E21, E23, E25, E00, E02, E13, E15, RV91, RV93, RV95, W0, W1, W3

RAM + MFT

MFT Stamps has started selling clear stamp with Rachelle Anne Miller‘s lovely illustrations. I’ve been so lucky that I’ve gotten to play with one of the first ones they released last week! It is called Care of My Heart.

I coloured the girl up three times. The first two my markers were fighting back, but I finally won on attempt number three. After colouring it up I’ve cut it out by hand and then made a little background on white cardstock. I’ve used stamps from MFT called Distressed Patterns with various Altenew and Distress Oxide Inks. The sentiment is from the same set as the girl stamp. Both the dark turquoise cardstock and the stitched rectangle dies are from MFT as well.

Polkadoodles summer winnie

It has been cold here lately, but the sunshine that has come with really brightens everything. It does make me want summer, though, so I’ve made a summer themed card for today. The stamp is by Polkadoodles and is called Winnie Summer Day.

The card itself is simple, as usual, with a thicker frame, and then a doily, two die cuts where one is with the sentiment from the Everlasting Sentiments set, and a few sequins making up the embellishment. I’ve used some foam tape on both the coloured panel and the sentiment strip.

Below is another photo of the card where you can see the dimensions a bit better.

Copics used: E00, E02, E13, E15, E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, E41, E42, E43, E44, W0, W1, W3, W5, T0, T1, T3, BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18, BG78, R63, RV66, R11, R22, R32, R35, R39, G24, G28

Rainbow books

I really wanted to make something today. It’s been a super busy week and I’ve hardly had time to sit down and spend time crafting or colouring, so now that it’s finally weekend I wanted to make sure to get some time in! And nothing. There was nothing I felt like making, apart from a vague feeling of wanting something with a rainbow on. After a while I remembered this pencil colouring I did a while back. The stamp is by Mama Elephant. I had some Lawn Fawn scrap paper laying about in lovely rainbow colours, so a piece of that, some white cardstock and the perfect Mama Elephant sentiment meant I got a card done after all!
