Gamer boy another sequel

This was last years card for this young man and I can't believe I have already made this years too. I thought I had better show it on here before I publish this years lol.

I absolutely love how Mo captures the emotion of the characters she draws. I’ve been a fan since her Etsy days and I can’t see that changing. Maybe I need to make a card with the first image I ever bought…now that’s an idea.



Ingredients

Image:Mo’s digital pencil

Sentiment: Level up from MFT

Dies: Blueprints 13 from MFT

Card: Pacific blue from Stamping Up

Runsational the sequel

Yet again I have used this stamp not in the way I intended lol. I was going to do the spotlight technique and only colour the one who is supposed to resemble the recipient in colour and colour the others in shades of grey. Of course I looked at the one I made last time and started colouring the lady before I remembered this card was for a guy lol. 

I am a huge lovely legs fan and might have bought a few on my recent trip to Florida, hopefully you will get to see those soon.

Dies: A2 stitched rectangle stax from MFT

Creative Stamping does it again

I was watching a video with Amy Rysavy and liked the card she was making using honey bee products, now I didn’t have any of the items and was about to order when this magazine dropped through the door and it was plants lol.

I have adapted Amy’s design and incorporated a bit of Kelly Taylor and I’m pleased with the outcome. I hope I get to use this set again soon.


 Ingredients

Images: Creative Stamping

Sentiment: Crafters Companion

Dies: banner from MFT and background from Papertrey Ink

Inks: Blueprint sketch and hickory smoke both distress oxides

Retail Therapy

I am not sure why I haven't tried colouring these stamps on kraft before but now I have tried it I don't think I can stop.

I bought a set of 160 oil based pencils from Amazon in 2020 with the intention of using them a lot and now almost 18 months later I have finally started using them. I do need to complete a colour chart though as it took longer to find colours that went than to colour the image lol.
