Coloring, Coloring…Fun, Fun Fun!!

 

Hello everyone~

I’ve been so busy with being “Mom Taxi” this week… my son goes to VBS and Cub Scout camp every day this week and my daughter’s cheer practices, 2 days for JR High and 1 day for a private cheer team…I’m trying to squeeze my stamping time 1 hour here and 1 hour there, lol.

So far, I’ve made 2 cards I can show. I was really in a mood for coloring for the last couple cards. I’m happy that my coloring mojo is slowly coming back!

 

The first card (above) was used the color combo from Curtain Call Color Challenge (ACT35) . I used Sugar Nellie’s Sweet Art Ebony stamp and colored with Copic markers. I sponged the tea roses with the cameo coral ink to make the roses close to the challenge color.

 

 

 

Stamps: Sweet Art Ebony (Sugar Nellie), Faux Ribbons – sentiment (PTI) 
Paper: classic white (Flourishes), tempting turquoise, cameo coral, garden green, green galore, retired DP (SU), pink and colored dots DP (MME)
Ink: Memento tuxedo black (Tsukineko) tempting turquoise, cameo coral, garden green (SU), Copic markers 
Accessories: ribbon, Prima tea roses 
Tools: big scallop oval & label 11 Nestablities 

 

 

 

 

The next card was used the sketch from Mercy’s Tuesday Sketch challenge 79 (MTSC79) and the color combo from Color Throwdown Challenge 98 (CTD98).

The lady on the phone image is from TSG Domestic Goddess…really fun set! It was colored with Copic markers. I also used the same set for the background.

Since it’s a quite simple card, it’s not much more to say about what I did ;) However, I have to brag this….TSG is going to have a new release on Saturday night and I’m so excited one of my Japanese stamping/blogging friend, Torico is release her designed stamps for the new release! Woohoo!! Please visit TSG blog to check out the sneak peek!!

Also, it’s 2 more weeks for the Color Throwdown 100th Challenge!! It’s going to be a big celebration and many sponsor companies will offer the giveaways for the event! Mark your calendar on July 7th and hopefully you are going to play along the 100th challenge with (present & past) Color Throwdown DT!! (FYI, I’m participating as a guest CTD DT for a month of July!, Yay!!)

 

Stamps: Domestic Goddess (TSG)
Paper: classic white (Flourishes), chocolate chip, mellow moss, brush blossom (SU)
Ink: Memento tuxedo black, rich cocoa (Tsukineko), Copic markers 
Accessories: buttons, vintage twine 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by.

I'm Back part 2

More cards I made so far.
引き続き、今までに作ったカードです。




This card is for SCS's Technique Lovers Challenge 174.
The challenge was "watrecoloring with re-inkers".
このカードは、ＳＣＳのテクニックラバーチャレンジ１７４で作った作品です。
今回は、「インカーで水彩画をする」です。

I love watercoloring!! This is one of my favorite techniques. For this card, I watercolored with Stampin' Markers. I just scrubbed the markers on the plastic palette, and I picked the colors with the watercolor brush.
水彩画は、大好きなテクニックの１つ。このカードでは、インカーの代わりにStampin' マーカー(インプレスマーカーと同じ類）を使い水彩画をしました。プラスチックのパレットにマーカーをなぞって、水彩筆でマーカーの色を吸い取らせ、色付けしただけです。

The stamp is Sweet Art Ebony collection from Sugar Nellie. You can get the stamps from Funky Kits. Funky Kits are the only store that carries Sugar Nellie stamps. I definitely go back there to shop more!!

I really like how it turned out! I admire Michelle Zindorf 's work, and I read every single post of her blog, Freedom In Creating. If you haven't read her blog yet, please check out!!
For this card, I used the resist technique from one of her tutorial.
出来上がりは、結構満足してます。いつも、ミッシェル・ジンドーフ（Michelle Zindorf)さんの作品に憧れていて、彼女のブログ、Freedom In Creatingの全てを読みつくしました。彼女のブログを読んでいない方は、是非チェックしてみてください！(写真付きの説明で、英語が苦手でもわかりやすいと思います。）
このカードでは、ミッシェルさんのチュートリアルの１つ、レジストテクニックを使いました。

After I watercolored the flower image, I colored with VarsaMark Marker the image and heat-embossed with clear emboss powder.
Then I stamped the word definition and sponged blue & green ink on it. I also used gray ink for shadowing and Signo white gel pen for highlighting.
花のイメージを水彩画した後、VarsaMark マーカーでイメージの上を塗り、クリアエンボスパウダーを使って、ヒートエンボスしました。
その後、ワードディフィ二ションのスタンプを捺し、青と緑のインクを全体にスポンジで色を付けました。花の陰には、グレーのインクをスポンジで色付け、ハイライトに白のジェルペンを使っています。
