April Previews start today!

The new kid on the block… Rain Lilliput!  I truly do LOVE her!  I have this “thing” about umbrellas anyway! (see me ‘n my umbrella on my ATC HERE)  The April release will be in the store Sunday, April 3rd, HERE.

I stamped Lilliput on 140# Cold Press Watercolor paper with the full size Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored her with Distress Inks, in the store HERE. The sentiment is from Amy R.’s Get Well sentiment set, in the store HERE I used my little square Versafine Black ink pad to just ink up parts of the sentiment and with my stamp a ma jig,  stamped it on the clouds.  The clouds are a new die for the April release too!  They’ll be in the store HERE, on April 3rd also.  The pattern paper is the My Minds Eye 6×6 pad, Gertie, in the store HERE.  Hero Arts gemstones on the clouds,  Magnolia Doohickey dies for the flower and leaves, in the store HERE and HERE. (the leaves are the poinsettia Doohickey die)

Distress colors I used…

  • face – tattered rose, vintage photo and a touch of worn lipstick on her cheeks
  • hair – antique linen, vintage photo and walnut stain
  • umbrella, boots – tumbled glass
  • coat – aged mahogany
  • skirt – crushed olive
  • a little black soot here and there…
  • and weathered wood around the image for shadowing…

Midsummer Tilda…

Midsummer Tilda is from the Fairytale collection…just love the flowers in her hair and the way it waves.  Fun to color…trying distress ink coloring again…not sure why ‘cept that it’s a challenge! lol  I made this for the Just Magnolia Challenge blog,  a sketch this week. Love the simplicity of it too!

Tilda is stamped with ♥ Versafine Onyx Black ink on ♥ hot press Arches watercolor paper (comes in a big sheet).  Then painted/colored in with ♥ Distress Inks. The papers are from ♥ K&Company… ♥ card-stock is prism and via…the cool paper ribbon is from a pack of ♥ Capella Basic Grey ribbon doilies…pretty cool stuff (purchased it at Archivers).  I put ♥ Martha Stewart ribbon  through the ribbon doily after I inked it good with ♥ walnut stain distress ink.  All the edges of everything are edged with  ♥ Walnut Stain distress ink and the ♥ Ink Blending Tool.  The ovals are die cut with ♥ oval Nestabilities dies. Can’t do words without using the ♥♥♥ Stamp a ma jig,  I ♥ that thing!!!  Tutorial on using it in my post right before this one.  “Thank You is a Hero Arts stamp D4903.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!  I can say I used some scrapbooking paper today anyway!  And took some pictures!  Doesn’t matter that it was just of a card! lol
