Wishing you a Beary Merry Christmas

November 15, 2023November 15, 20232 Comments

Hello and welcome everyone!

My design team project for I Am Roses today features this super sweet digital stamp from All Dressed Up Stamps called Christmas Bear Hugs.

Before printing I brought the image into Photoshop and removed the print in her headband so I could create my own pattern.

I printed this adorable image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E53, E99, YR21
Reds: R59, R46, R29, R27, R08, R05
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01
Grays: W3, W1, W0, W00
White Gel Pen

The gorgeous I Am Roses flowers I used on my card are:

R3-15 – Size 3/4″ or 2cm White Open Roses
LY3-15 – White Small Lily Paper Flowers
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
R2-839 – Mini 1/4″ or 1cm Mixed All Green – White Open Roses
R2-15 – Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm White Paper Open Roses
LY3-161 – Soft Green Mini Lily Crafts Paper Flowers
R5-15 – Indian Jasmine (1″or2.5cm) White Paper Flowers

When it came to arranging the flowers I decided I didn’t want the large red flower quite so big, so I took the bottom row of petals off and glued the green leaves back on. For the right side I used that row of red petals that I removed, and glued them together to appear like a small flower bud.

As always, you can find an abundance of gorgeous flowers for sale here.

Trick or Treat

September 26, 20234 Comments

Hello everyone!

I’m back today with my last creation as a guest designer for RAM Stamps September new release.

These adorable trick or treat friends are from the digital stamp set called ‘Trick or Treat Mouse‘.

What an adorable costume that would make…just sayin’!

I printed these little cuties on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following markers and colored pencils.

~Copics and Prismacolor Pencils~

Mouse: T4, 43, T2, T1, T0
Bats and Spider: T6, T5, T4, T2, T1, T0
Ears: R20, R30, R00, R000
Sign: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40 – E57, E55
Green: YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91
Orange: YR18, YR16, Y15, Y35
Hat & Cape: T5, T4, T3, T1, T0 – I then added Prismacolor Pencils on top of the gray: 901, 1022, 919, 1087, 938

I’m not a huge black and orange fan, so this softer version of Halloween paper was perfect for my project. I added a wide piece of ribbon to add a little break from the diagonal stripes. Since my ribbon had a definite one way pattern I cut the ribbon in half and attached the two pieces together behind the center frame in opposite directions. Two black enamel dots were added as the final touch.

As always, you can find an abundance of adorable images for sale here.
