Stampendous, Bundled Up!

i

Another cutie Kiddo from Stampendous!  Love her smile!  Washi tape from My Minds Eye and the row of hearts from Printworkscollection.com…  She’s stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill 80# cover color copy paper (scroll down in my posts for links)  and colored with Copic Sketch markers!  oops!  Just realized I was going to finish coloring her.  I colored her while I was watching grandkids and with my granddaughter’s limited color selection of markers… I was going to blend and finish at home and completely forgot until I looked at my photo… oh well,  you will give me coloring grace this time, right?! hohoho

Sweet Stamping Pixies – Monochrome…

Second Monday of the month and time for a NEW Sweet Stamping Pixies Challenge!

The challenge….monochrome!  So glad Jay Jay picked this.  I love it but forget to do it, so it’s a great challenge! I hope you can join us… click over to see the fabulous monochrome color choices the rest of the design team used.

I stamped on PTI card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with the E40 series Copic Sketch Markers.   E40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 47 and 49.

The ‘love’ word is from a pack of chipboard type sticker words by GCD Studios called Soul Food Word Stickers.

I love, love, LOVE this sentiment I used on the inside from Stampendous.  The true meaning of Christmas.

Birdie Kiddo…

So CUTE!  Love these Kiddo stamps from Stampendous!   Lucky for all of us they are 25% off through today at the Scrapping Center… links below… Martha Stewart snowflake punch… EK Success border punch…Tim Holtz Alphabetical die… Distress ink reinkers for coloring. (The pattern paper is from a pad by K & Co.5.5 x 8.5 in. – quite a few years old. It’s a bummer but I’m going to be using old paper for awhile.  One should not hoard paper after-all…waaaahhhhhh no fun!)

I LOVE that they are singing to each other while the snow is swirling around her feet!
