Copic Card with a Sketch

Hello Copic and crafty friends and family! I have a little Stamp AnnieThing inspiration for you today. 

I love having someone else give me the idea for the design work on my card. I don’t have to sit there and scratch my head over a lot of decisions. When someone maps it out for me I can do the fun part, pick a stamp, color, pick pretty paper to match and stick it all together. The fun part of making!

This week’s Theme Week Challenge #34 is using a sketch. 

I chose my image and pick a group of very simple color combinations to allow me to work fairly quickly:

I colored up the sweet Kelly – Reading Book:

And added her to the card base I designed using this weeks sketch as a road map!

This card came together super fast and that always feels great!

Make sure to play along and submit your version of the sketch ?

Thank you for stopping by today, more Stamp AnnieThing inspiration to come so keep stopping by.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

I had so much fun with this image! I have been trying to do at least one image each month no line coloring and decided to do this cutie and use an old favorite Copic color combination on her hair. Thanks Colleen Schaan!
 
Pretty limited pallet, but I think she turned out pretty cute!

Yay It is Friday! Thanks for stopping by one more time! I am teaching a Copic College today in Washington, IL, but set this up to make sure you got the last peek of the SAT October release! I took a few more steps on this card and used these super fun stencils to create a full background scene for the stamp. 
In hind site I would have moved the cats to the right a little further right and up, but live and learn ?
I started by using a few of the new Stamp AnnieThing ink blocks with the cactus stencils, and creating masks for the cacti by tracing through the stencil:
 
 
Next I used my Copic ABS to create a sky and ground behind the cacti:
 
 
Picked out some Copic colors and got my cow girl and her painted horse colored up (I realized after editing the photo that I left all the Cool Grays in the bag, I did not use them on this image sorry!):
 
 
Added her into her scene:
 
 
And popped her onto a card!
 
 
Here is a closer look at our cowgirl.
 
 
Thanks for joining me this week for the October SAT release! If you have not had a chance yet check out a few of the other Stamp AnnieThing DT members, they are as usual rocking the SAT images, dies and stencils!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Welcome back! An adorable Lady bug to color up today! I know it is fall, it certainly feels like it here in Iowa but I had a hard time putting fall colors with this cutie!
 
 
Here is a look at her in super close up mode:
 
 
Back out just a bit so you can see the fun greeting. I lost it a bit when I colored the grass so I added a little opaque white so it pops back out.
 
 
And back out one more step to see the full card:
 
 
Thanks for dropping by today, hope you will take a second to check out the other SAT team members. I am inspired by them all on a regular basis!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Swinging Piñata!

Hello all my friends and family! I have some new inspiration for you today using one of my all time favorite D2BA stamp sets, Alpaca Cake.

He he I am so excited to share my card today! I created a shaker card using the Alpaca Cake stamp set and I also used the wavy squares die cuts to create the window for my shaker. The shaker portion not only has glitter and beads it also contains a swinging piñata!

Here is a close up of this little guy!

I realize it is a little hard to appreciate a moving part with no movement however… surprise, surprise there is a video as well!
