PTT #116 Color

Hello Friends! 

Welcome back to another Party Time Tuesdays challenge!  It is the third Tuesday of the month and that means we are in for another color challenge.  We have some awesome and bright colors this week.

Our Sponsors:

I have chosen to use a Mo Manning Big Girl Pants digi image.  I think she is just adorable.  Why is it that when we are young, we can't wait to grow up?  Then when we get older, we just want to be young with no responsibility.  Funny how life works, huh?  Anyhow, I digress...  I have printed the digi image out on cryogen and colored her with copics to match the color challenge for this week.  I did add a bit of black to make the colors pop a bit more.  The background papers are by Reflections and the sentiment is by Fiskars, Wish Big collection.  I finished it off with a sticker generously provided by our sponsor SRM Stickers.  I thought it fit well with this image.

Copics used:

Hair:  C1, C3, C5, C7

Skin:  E000, E00, E21

Shirt:  E97, YR65, YR68

Panties:  B00, B01, B04, B06

The inside sentiment is by Printworks Collection.  I finished it off with three brads to add some more fun and color to the card.

So now it is your turn to come on over to Party Time Tuesdays and share your creation with us!

Thank you for stopping by.  Your visit is very much appreciated!
Blessings until next time...

Loves Rubberstamps - Sensational Sunday Inspirations

Hello Friends!

I hope you are having a great weekend and the beginning of your year has started off well.  I am back today with a Sensational Sunday Inspiration post for  Loves Rubberstamps Store.  She has such great images to play with!  I must admit that I actually started this project as a gift for a special friend.  After working a few days on it, I could not part with it.  I know, not very nice of me, but this was my first frilly, girly thing I had made. I have become attached.

So let's get to it!  I made a Multi Pocket Envelope album.  I got the directions from The Paper Trail on how to assemble the envelopes.  I made six pages total, using 15 envelopes.  We will get to the inside in a bit.  First, let's take a look at the outside of the book.  I used chipboard for the covers to make it a bit sturdier.  All paper used in the album is My Mind's Eye, Lost and Found.  The image, Painter Meg, by Mo Manning is stamped with Memento, Tuxedo Black ink  and is colored with copics.  I finished embellishing the front with white trim and a Tim Holtz embellishment, "Live the life you've imagined"  The book was bound with a Bind it All.

Copics used:

Paint Bucket:  C0, C1, C3, C5

Paint:  B00, B01, B02

Boots:  W0, W1 W3

Pants:  E41 E43, E44, E47

Shirt:  B00, B01, B02, W0, W2

Hair:  E29, E35, E39

Brush:  B02, W00, W1, W3, C3, C5

Skin:  E000, E00, E11

Here are some pictures of the inside of the book.  You can see there are several places for tags and fun embellishments in this book of fun.  I used Spellbinders Labels 10, 20, 21, 25 dies to cut out many of the tags.  The tags are all embellished with miscellaneous flowers, trims, buttons, twine, brads, laces etc.      I used Tim Holtz Distress inks to add more to each tag.  Some of the tags are also stamped with flourish stamps around the edges to add more visual effects to each tag.  

I have included a picture of all the pages, so please excuse the picture heavy post.

I hope my post today has inspired you to create!  I had so much fun with this project.

Big Wishes

Happy Tuesday!

The sun is shinning bright today and it was so nice to get outside for a run to enjoy it.  I hope the sun is shinning where you are.  I took the copic class this past weekend and learned quite a bit about what I am doing wrong.  OPPS!  I guess you live and learn, that is what life is about.  Now I know what I need to do to make improvements.  Always pull the positive out of all situations.

When I seen this digi stamp from Mo Manning, I had to have it!  She really looks like she is up to something mischievous.  I decided to turn it into a birthday card instead of the normal "put on your big girl panties".  Many of us could not wait to grow up when we were little and always wanted to wear our mom's clothes.  So I thought the Stampin Up Wish Big sentiment was perfect.

I colored the cute little image with copics.  The image is cut out with a spellbinders die.  All paper is MME from several different collections.  I used a sketch from the Sweet Stop Challenge.

I have not put a sentiment on the inside just yet.  I want to wait until I find the perfect person to give this too.  Then I will make the sentiment match.  But just a quick look at the inside.
