Rain or Shine

Double Trouble Challenge Blog #55 is all about spring. Do look at all the fun things you can do to participate!

I have been having so much fun with my new stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, Follow the Rainbow (colored with Copics), and the fun clouds stencil, Clouds for Days (using Distress Inks).  I stamped then masked the image to add the background. Using the inspirational photo, I selected clouds, an umbrella, a puddle with clear Nuvo drops with matching raindrops, and the color lavender, one of my favorites!

As an additional challenge, we can share with Artsystamper Digitals Challenge #14, also about spring.

Also shared with Simon Says Stamps Blog Monday Challenge to create a scene. Mine is a rainy day scene!

Mandatory Daily Cups of Coffee

I saw this stamp set and was smitten, so I had to rush to get the Coffee Planner Set from Sweet Sentiments Stamps. Perfect to use for The Daily Marker's 30 day coloring challenge!

I created a long card, stamped with Momento Ink, colored with Copics and colored pencils, added some Gina K Inks through a Paper Smooches stencil, before adding the final touch of some clear glaze pen on the glasses.

I know this will stay in my list of top favorites of stamp sets! Thanks for the visit!

Hoodie-Hoo

Hoodie-Hoo is the optional twist for Twisted Thursday. Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I selected Girls Happy Trio!

So what does Hoodie-Hoo represent? It is a copyrighted holiday by Wellcat.com as a day, on Feb. 20, when people go out at noon and wave their hands over their heads yelling "Hoodie-Hoo"! It's meant to chase away the winter and hurry the spring in!

The image was colored with Copics and Prismacolor colored pencils. The frame was created on watercolor paper using a stamp frame from Unity Stamp, Charm. I covered it with watercolor brush pens then sprayed the paper and the stamp with Dylusions Shimmer Spray, Pure Sunshine. Then, I cut all layers, including the card with Creative Basics Dies by Rhea. I made the sentiment on the computer, added some flowers and twine from my stash.

Be My Valentine

Be My Valentine is the optional twist for Twisted Thursday. Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I selected this cute little bee and ladybug, Bee Flower,  to make a Valentine for my sweetie.

The decorative oval is from We R Memory Keepers (sprayed with Copic markers for matching color), the picot edged oval is from Clarity Stamps. The sentiments were created in Word then cut with Die-namics stitched dies. The image was colored with Copics, Prismacolor colored pencils, Distress Inks and with added white gel pen.
