Lily with Snow Sisters

Hi all!  I have a Ppinky card for a few challenges today:

The image is called Lily with Snow Sisters.  I printed the image with my Epson printer and watercolored the whole thing, except for the hair which I did with a black colored pencil.  I added some embossing paste through a snow stencil, careful to not put any on the snow sisters or Lily (except for that one bit on her hat).  Finally I added a gold embossed sentiment from Jingle Greetings.

This is for the following challenges:

• ABC Challenges – W is for Wishes (add a sentiment)
• SSS Wednesday Challenge – Let It Snow
• Pile It On – Anything Christmas/Winter
• SSS Monday Challenge – Holly Jolly Stamping (Christmas themed)

I hope you like it and TFL!

Season’s Greetings

Hi all!  Today I have a card for a couple challenges:

I used the Ppinky Dolls image called Cold Days, a sentiment from Very Vintage Christmas, and the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

The image was printed with my laser printer and colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink and the papers are really old from a company no longer around, Daisy Bucket.

This is also for the Ppinky Dolls Facebook challenge – Winter Shabby Chic.  Hope you like it and TFL!

Winter Walk

Hi all!  Today I have a card for a few challenges:

I used a Ppinkydolls image called Winter Walk and the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  The image was printed on my laser printer and colored with Prismacolor Pencils.  I did the out of the box die cutting technique with a fishtail flag from Your Next Stamp.  The embossing folder is from Stampin’ Up! and the sentiment is from the Santa Express Train Carts.

This is also for the following challenges:

• SSS Monday Challenge – Holiday Cards
• My Time to Craft – Snowmen
• Papertake Weekly – Anything Goes

I hope you like my card and TFL!

Hello Christmas

Hi all!  I have a Ppinky card for you today:

I printed the image Christmas Party on my B&W laser printer and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The hello is from the Scripty Words die set, the Christmas is from Jolly and Merry and the striped border is from Basic Borders.

This is for the following challenges:

• Daring Cardmakers – something old, something new ( the border set and the ink and colored pencils are old, everything else is new)
• Crazy 4 Challenges – card that says hello
• Creative Card Crew – stripes

I hope you like it and TFL!

Be A Unicorn!

Hi all!  Today I have another new (to me) stamp company called Ppinky Dolls.  I instantly fell in love with the images and especially loved this one when it came out!  It’s called Unicorn Ppinky and it’s just too adorable!  I had the perfect saying to go with it too!

I saw that saying on the internet somewhere and thought it was so funny, so I stored it away in my brain to use later.  And I guess now is later!

Here’s a close up of Ppinky:

Unfortunately the colors came out all weird in my pictures – the purple paint is much nicer in real life and the grey specks all over are actually silver glitter.  I colored Ppinky with colored pencils because I still haven’t got the hang of coloring her with Copics – I need more practice.  You can see in the close shot that I added embossing paste stars all over the top of the page to give it texture.

This is for Ppinky Dolls Challenge – Anything Goes or Halloween, and also SSS Monday Challenge – Anything Goes.  I hope you like it and TFL!
