A couple of projects I have finished

I am not the best photographer or even scanner person, so I am not really happy with how these are showing, but I wanted to share with you a couple of things I have done recently using Eat Cake Graphic stamps.
This first piece, the windows, stairs, word bubble and the little girl are all ECG stamps. I drew in the house, the door and the sidewalk. Colored with Copics.
Everything is an ECG stamp except for the moon. Again I colored using Copic Markers. I added a little glitter around the wand to make it look magical.
I got the card design her from my friend Julie at our hostess club. She comes up with the best ideas. I love the ECG flowers stamps. I use these alot. I colored with Copics matching the ink to the colors in the paper choices.

This shows what the pull out looks like.

Tried to make a gift card holder with this one. I am thinking the paper is overpowering but I do like the design. Used Copics.

Inside showing where the gift card goes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Rubber Stamp Madness

This is the lastest edition of Rubber Stamp Madness with a piece of my work as the cover. I had sent this in some time ago and they asked me if they could hang on to it for use at a later date. I was so excited when they called and asked me if they could use it for the cover of the holiday issue. The editor of this publication, along with the staff, are the nicest group to work with. Thankyou so much for publishing my work.

I also have a couple of cards in this issue under the Alice in Rubberland section.
This first piece is all stamping using colored pencils.
These two pieces use stamps for the main subject but I drew in the cake and the packages. I used watercolor pencils on these. The Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum was not selected but I wanted you to see it cause I like it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Here's Maggie

Here is the great white huntress. She loves to hop on toads and run down mice. Before she goes to bed, we have to go outside and remove all the toads from her yard. She finds them and I scoop them up and toss them into the neighbors yard. Hard to believe she is almost a year old. She was born in Oct. Works perfectly, because both Mike and I have October birthdays. I think a party is in order this year for sure.
Thanks for stopping by.

A Little Lift


I saw a card that used the background that you see here and really liked it. Want to try it and put my own spin on it. The colors don't really show up as nice as they look in real life. These cards went to two very wonderful friends for their birthdays.
The squares are made using a template and sponging colors in. I stamped the flowers and the sentiments over the colors. The rest were stamped, colored with copics and then cut out and attached.

Stamps - Sentiment Stampers Anonymous, Flower - Penny Black, Butterfly - Savvy, Presents - Paper Artsy, Little Girl - Unknown. Hat - Lost Coast Stamps.
