Today I have two cards to share! The first is using the Puffin & Pals set I could not resist creating a second card so I could color up one of these little puffins with my Copics. Here are the colors I used:

Super fun adding those bright colors to the beak. Y’s and YR’s are on the beak and a little on the eye, the C’s are the rest of the puffin, BV’s are the snow and ice and the B000 is the sky. Here is a look at the coloring:

You can see I used the light pink ink to do a little no-line Copic coloring. Then I added some fun patterned papers to create layers. I pulled a few sequins and a snowflake charm from this month’s add on kit for finishing touches.

Before I send you off to the next blog I wanted to give you a few peeks at the card I created with this month’s bonus stamp. I shared this on Instagram earlier, but here are the colors I used and a closer look.

Very simple no-line coloring, this is a great image to practice this skill. I used the BV’s on the seal as well as the snow and ice. The C3 was added into the cast shadow to give some separation between the seal and ground. . The E04 is on the little heart nose and the BG000 is the sky. For the finished card I added another of the snowflake charms and a few sequins from the add on kit this month. If you have not tried one of the add on kits yet this month is one that I would highly recommend!

As always thank you so very much for stopping by. I would love for you to sign up for my newsletter over on the right hand side of my blog. I have a new online Copic coloring class in the works and lots of fun news coming out in the next few weeks so would love to be able to share it with you directly.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

And here we are celebrating this month’s release, hopping and shopping is always fun! I am sharing another card using my Wooly Wonderland set. Today’s card is a slimline to pack in a whole heard of little wooly friends.

I stamped the little lamb first (remember this is the bonus stamp this month, you can only get him with a minimum purchase)
Then I masked him off and added one larger body
I masked him off and added two more sheep bodies
Then last I got to pick fun faces to go on each and a sentiment to tag on the end
Coloring here I come! Here are the Copic colors I used

E 7’s are the wool, W’s and E93 are the faces and legs, the BV’s and Colorless Blender are the snowy ground, and then the V’s, BG,s and Yes are the hats and scarfs. (The Y’s are the jingle bells)

Trimming off the top of the image allows the sheep to sit on the bright bold patterned paper. Here is a closer look at the line up.

Here is a look at the card!

This month I created three cards with my new Wooly Wonderland set. One of the cards I have not shared yet but do not worry it is being featured this Wednesday with a full coloring video to go along with it!

Thank you so much for hopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

For now, check out all the beautiful projects in today’s hop!

See you tomorrow!

Super excited to be sharing my latest stamps with you this month. These little sheep are characters I have drawn for many years and to see them come to life in the creative hands of the Design Team has been super fun this month! So here is a closer look at the card I created for today! Did you notice that the bonus stamp this month is similar?! Yep they are made to go together!

I started by stamping my little sheep then masking him and adding the larger body. Because I used a no line technique I did not worry about masking when it came to the wiggly hat, I knew the colors would cover the light pink ink lines easily!
Then colored them both up using my Copic markers of course. (Little secret, there will be a video next Wednesday showing how I color the little wooly guy!)
