Sweet Dreams- Copic no-line

Hello Stamp AnnieThing fans, Michelle Houghton here for a little mid-weeks inspiration.

There is a new theme week this week, we are challenging you to use some of the beautiful adornments now found at SAT!

I am challenging myself with a little no-line coloring as well on Holly – Sweet Dreams

I chose to use some of the adornments from one of our Grab and Go boxes and I used them as part of the background versus in a shaker card. It took a little time to dot glue and place the small glitter and sequins, but I like the end effect. 

Here is a couple close ups so you can see both the coloring and the sequin backdrop. I just love those fuzzy bunny slippers. 

To top it off here is a link for the video of the no-line coloring!

Thank you so much for stopping in today.

Have a Happy Colorful day!

Copic No-Line Coloring

Hello Friends and Family! I am running a bit behind this am but just catching up from a weekend of teaching! I have a little D2BA inspiration for your Monday morning.

Today I am bringing you a follow up to my “Anything Goes” card that I shared yesterday. I shared Ragity Rabit being colored in a no-line coloring technique. Today I have a video of how to do no-line coloring on a different D2BA stamp set. It is the Totally Tracy Holly Xmas. Except that I color the flowers for spring!

Here is a direct link to the video:

I used a series of Copic markers here is a look at what I gathered:

I also use an E21, E23, and E25 that are not shown

And here is a peek at the project I completed!

And a close up too!

Thank you for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of your week and

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Sunshine Day! Stamp AnnieThing

Hello family and friends! Ready for a little hump day inspiration? Here in Iowa we are up to our eyeballs in snow, ice and cold. So I am ready for a little, or maybe A LOT of sunshine. So since the weather is not cooperating I will just have to create a little of my own. 

I stamped up Victoria – Here’s The Dirt and colored her up with my Copic markers

Colors Used: Skin – YR000, YR01, E11, R21, BV20 Tongue – R21, E04 Hair – C9, C7, C5, BV20 Boots – Y32, Y38 Dress – B91, B95, RV52, Y32 Shirt – Y40, G43

Then I fussy cut her out and got her onto a card front

I used the the Shaker Basic Die set #1 and an assortment from the SAT adornments to create the sparkling sunshine. 

Just looking at her makes me think of sunshiny days ahead. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hoping you have a few crafty and sunshiny days in your near future!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
