Sharing some cards I forgot to post on my blog.

Hello friends!  Here are a couple cards I shared for an Instagram hop, but forgot to share to my blog.

This is a Sweet November digital stamp by Amy Young.  Duncan and Donut.  And below is Coco and Pebble. 

I really enjoyed coloring these two images.  Colored with copics.  A boy playing catch with his dog and a little girl taking her pup for a walk.  I added some flowers to her dress and some strawberry earrings.  These digital stamps are available to purchase at 7 Kids Craft Store.       

Hugs and smiles,

Mrs. Claus and Santa

Hello friends,
Today I am sharing a card I made with some Sweet November Digital  stamps from the 7 Kids Craft Store.  This is Mrs. Claus and Santa doing the "Happy Dance".  They are so happy because Christmas is just around the corner, their favorite time of year.

These images have such joy on their faces that I thought they should be dancing.  I drew the floor and colored everything with copics.   You can find lots more inspiration at
7 Kids Customers Create.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,

Janice

Tiddly Inks DT Call

Hello friends,

Today I have several cards I would like to share with you.  Tiddly Inks is having a Design Team Call.
I love Christy's images and would love to be part of her team!  Wish me luck!

This little girl is Faythe Flower Girl Extraordinaire.  She is definitely one of my favorite stamps.  Maybe because I was a flower girl when I was 5 and I had so much fun.  Actually I was a miniature bride.  It really left a big impression on me because when I got married I had to have a miniature bride and groom for my wedding.  My niece Michelle and nephew Mark were so darn cute!  My wedding day was one of the happiest days of my life!  I married my high school sweetheart and we have been happily married for 35 years!  Oh how time flies!  Here is my copic list.

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge #184

Hello friends!  Time for a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  LMMS Challenge #184 - Anything Goes.  Before sharing my card I want to share that Little Miss Muffet Stamps is having a Guest Design Team call.  You can read all about it here.

The DT Call closes at Midnight, Central Time, on March 17, 2018
It's a FUN and talented team!!

Now on to my card.  I chose this adorable image, Val the Girl Scout.  

Isn't she the cutest elephant?  Colored with copics.  I also used the Girl Scout cookies sentiment.  The nice thing about digital stamps is the ability to make the image small or large.  I chose to print the sentiment small and have Val hold it.  I could have used it larger as a background stamp.  

I hope you will check out the challenge and also consider the Guest DT Call.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,

Janice

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Inspiration

Hello friends!  Time to share a sweet little image with you called Jr. Hatter Simone.  I love her little penguin and cable knit hat.

LMMS Polka Dot Pals Renata

I absolutely adore these new images at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  This is Polka Dot Pals Renata.  Last week I used Pdp Ximena to make a spinner card.  This week I have used Pdp Renata to do the no-line coloring technique.

She has been colored with copics and colored pencils.  The no-line technique is when you stamp or print an image very lightly and then color the image.  I use that technique often, because I like the challege of it and the look.  Have you ever tried it?  Zoe from Make It Crafty started the technique years ago.  I found this from 2011.  Zoe is amazing.  I hope you check it out.

Hugs and smiles,

Janice

As you can see by the photos, she spins.  I used copics and colored pencils to color her up!  Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,

New Stamps at Little Miss Muffet Stamps

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing this adorable image from LMMS, Swings 'n Slides Fishy.  I really like this stamp and had fun coloring him.  I drew the scene in the background to complete the card.

I added some mud to his jeans.  I usually add mud to little boy images because most boys like to play and get dirty.  You can check out the new images here.
As always I am thankful for your visits!  Have a great day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice
