Tilda blowing hearts




My Tildas finally have become a card. The first card is the Tilda that I posted for my last entry. The second is one I colored last night and made into a card today. The card layout for the second on came from Shawne from her Pumpkin Princess card. I changed the arrangement of two of the layers. I just can't seem to do things the way it is presented. I hope that is a sign of creativity!

Well, I better get off here so I can either 1: go stamp and color some more or 2: go knit. I don't know which one will win out tonight.

Precious Moments

Years ago when I was still a graduate student I bought a precious moments coloring book. I bought it for a client activity knowing that I would just copy the pictures and reuse the images over and over. A few years ago I had the idea to shrink down the image to use for stamping. I've come across these coloring pages now and again but never did anything with them. This weekend I came across them again and decided to use my copics with them and it worked! The images didn't bleed and I found the coloring was easier since the paper is so thin. I enjoyed coloring this and I hope to inspire you to use a coloring page for your next image!

Copic Coloring

Today is my DS3's 2nd birthday. I took the day off to spend with him. While he napped I got an hour to stamp, er, color. I am really happy with the way the honey pot came out. I think I did a better job on the honey pot than I did on the bee hive. I borrowed this set from my IRL stamping friend (months ago! I forgot I had it!). It is a fun stamp set to use to color. I doubt bee hives are blue but it works for the card. The card isn't all that spectacular, but my coloring of my honey pot is!!!
Thanks for looking.

Sympathy Card and Tilda/Pansy practice

Shoot, I uploaded these in the wrong order. Anyway, here are my practice Tildas and Pansies. Getting better!!


This is the sympathy card for my uncle's funeral. I went with the same sketch I just used with the Tilda's. I spent most of my hours, yes, I said hours, working on coloring. I had a few pansy's that weren't card worthy. I also practiced coloring Tilda's today.
I am too tired to say more so thanks for looking and hey, don't forget to leave a comment.
