Artful Angel Footprint Yeti (Take 2)

  Hey!  Yes, it's me.  I am back with another sweet Yeti from the Artful Angel stamp set called Footprints.  

Once again, I have used my Kalour Colored Pencils to colour this image and I have included the combinations for you below.



I paired the image with some paper from my stash, that I've die cut using the Pink & Main Card Cut Essentials Die Set #1.

Colours used: I have included the names of the colour combinations.  I find them easier to remember than every pencil colour ;)

Tracey Hey Wind Me UP

 Good day my friends.



I am sharing a card with you today using the Tracey Hey Wind Me Up stamp set.  I coloured this sweet rabbit with my coloured pencils (although I cannot remember which ones lol).

I paired the image with some die sets from All & Create:  Intricatags, Heartnook, and Trimtastic.  These are fast becoming some of my most favourite dies.  I added some bling from Queen & co, and voila!

See you soon ;)

Polkadoodles Let’s Go Gnome

 Good day my friends!

I used the
Let’s go Gnome clear stamp that features an adorable gnome and reindeer.  I coloured this image with my Kalour coloured pencils.  The sentiments are from two different sentiment sets:  Birthday Sentiments and Christmas Greetings.  I also used the Baked with Love Paper Heaven 1 digital paper for the background layer of the card front.  Lastly, I added some fun and festive enamel dots and sparklies.

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.

Stampendous Watercolor Whimsy with StamprGrl

 Good day friends!  Phew it's been one heck of a few months and I seem to be having the hardest time getting things together, including my Watercolor Whimsy posts!  This is a watercolor collaboration between myself and Dalis who is also known as StamprGrl!

So, for this month we are working on a Stampendous stamp set!  I have chosen this one called Daisy Thanks.


I stamped the daisies onto watercolor paper and painted them with a combination of Prima Marketing and Jane Davenport watercolors.  Then I decided to give it a mixed media vibe and added some color and stamping to the background.  I added the sentiment from the stamp set and finished the panel off with some black paint splatters and enamel dots.  

To put the card together I layered the panel over some black cardstock before adding it to the card base.  I love how soft the colors turned out but it still seems to have an impact!

Don't forget to go and visit Dalis' blog today to see which Stampendous stamp set she decided to create with!  Also, stay tuned for next month we are creating with The Greeting Farm stamps!
