I LOVE this charming Tilda from the Merry Little Christmas collection.
Here’s an “extreme” close up of this cutie!
and the card from the side…
This is a Bo Bunny paper pad that came with the patterns in shapes that you punch out… cool. Tilda is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers… BG 90’s and Warm grays for her outfit…bench and antlers are E43, 44, 44, 49…holly is the YG90’s…hair is E50, YR 21, 23, 24 and E37 … skin E000, 00, 11 and a diluted R20 (diluted with R000 refill that I added to the barrel of the R20 marker).
I used a cling Hero Arts background stamp CG154 Aged Print Frame for the border of the square piece Tilda is on…Stampendous music background both stamped in Distress Old Paper ink. The paper ribbon off the left side (small piece) is from a package by Anna Griffin. “Add Some Jingle” is a new Printworks stamp, HERE. Ordering info in the left column, HERE. More new stamps under new releases in the left column.
Peace, Joy and Love be yours this Christmas Season! Thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate your friendships so much!!!
Only two more weeks of my DT term with the Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge blog. It’s been really fun and has strrrrretched and challenged me for using pattern papers! Korin’s sketches are awesome…I challenge you to make some time (cuz that’s what you gotta do this time of year) and try one! You’ll be hooked! lol
Today I inked up Caroling Luka from La-La Land Crafts, HERE, colored him with copics, some We R Memory Keepers papers, Magnolia Silent Night stamp, Martha Stewart border punches, Marvy Uchida Holly craft punch, Lasting Impressions teeny buttons, Me and My Big Ideas gold cord and Printworks new sentiment, D3940 – Grace Hope, HERE.
Here’s a close up so maybe you can see the cool detail in the holly wreath he’s holding…so cute!
When I colored him, I did the scribble copic marker ink on my stamp pad lid and pick it up with the lightest color and “like” paint it on… then warm grays over the top… for example the hymnbook is E07 painted on with R000…fun! ; )
What to do next?! I need groceries…oh why do I procrastinate grocery shopping! bah! I’ll go by sleigh! The rain turned to snow! Well, the tree needs lights and decorated too! See?! Aren’t you glad you’re not me today! lol Now, where are those elves when you need ’em!!! ttul!
