Hello It's Me with Polkadoodles

 Good afternoon!  For my project this week, I used the sweet puppy and his phone from the Hello It's Me stamp set from Polkadoodles.   I also used paper from the Pretty Colourful paper pack as the background and stamped and coloured the images right on top of the patterned paper :)  To finish off this card, I added part of the sentiment on top of a die from the Scallop Rectangles and Tags metal die set.

I coloured this image using my Prismacolor Premiere pencils in the following colours:

Grey:  935, 1058, 1054, 1052, 1050, 938

Pink:  947, 930, 994, 1014

Coral:  947, 945, 926, 939, 927

And lastly, I added some white highlights with my white Jelly Roll pen.

Just a note with CC Designs

 I love the Swissies from CC Designs, I always have even when they were Swiss Pixies lol.  So this Sweater Sitter Swissie (sadly, retired) also has my heart.  I coloured her using the patterned paper as inspiration and my coloured pencils, although I'm unsure which ones...I have a few different kinds I use.

I paired her with some dies from my stash as well as the sentiment and bling.

A quick and fun hello card!

Sandy Toes New Release with Artful Angel

 Hey crafty peeps!  It's the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada and what a beauty it was weather-wise!  I was totally dreaming of the water and sandy beaches when I created this card using the new release "Sandy Toes" stamp set from Artful Angel, available May 25th.

I colored this sweetie with my Prismacolor Pencils on Neenah Desert Storm card stock.  I haven't colored with my pencils in a while.  I'm so glad I did, I thought I was losing my nerve lol.  There's a sneek peek of something else in this project as well!  If you look closely, you might see a layer of a new Artful Angel 6 x 6 patterned paper (think pink!).

Theses new stamps and patterned paper will be available in the Artful Angel shop on May 25th, stay tuned for more inspiration from our wonderful Design Team and Guest Designers in the Facebook Group for Artful Angel.

CC Designs Birthday Critters with Artful Angel

 I am frantically trying to catch up with my blogging and posting.  Unfortunately, I am behind what with trying to pack up both my daughter and I to move in opposite directions lol.  In the meantime, I have created a birthday card to share with you today using the Birthday Critters stamp set from CC designs, available at Artful Angel!

These cute little critters make great birthday (as well as many other celebratory) greeting cards both masculine and feminine!  For the cards I created (and there are a few ;)) I used the Echo Park paper 6x6 paper pad called A Birthday Wish Boy, also available in the Artful Angel shop!

I have colored this little critter using my Copic Markers and layered it over paper from the A Birthday Wish paper pad, added the stamped sentiment and some of enamel dots.  I have also used a card sketch to jump start my mojo (he seems to have gone on vacation without me!), although for the life of me I cannot remember where the sketch is from.

A new release is coming in May!  Are you excited?  Come and see us in the Facebook group, Artful Angel Takes Flight to see what's coming!
