No Line Coloring With Copics

Hello!
I have a quick post today using Whimsy Stamp's Bunny Delivery stamp set.  
I think this bunny is darling!
I stamped it with a no line coloring ink and colored it with Copic markers.  I used a white gel pen to give the "fur" texture. I added snow using Stickles.
I added Love Hearts Sparkletz.  I layered the image over the Cozy Winter paper pack using Crafty Foam Tape.  I tied the top with silk ribbon and a couple of jingle bells from my stash. (Which I am totally addicted to! I have whole drawer dedicated to just jingle bells!) 
My vacation is just about over....and then back to my kiddos at school. These past two weeks have been great but I think I am actually ready to teach again and get back into my routine.  :) 
Have a great day friends!

Valentine Boxes!

 Hello everyone! I am excited to share a brand new stamp set from Whimsy Stamps called Valentine Puns!  Who doesn't like a good pun now and again?
I paired it with the Mini Treat Box die (No pun intended! LOL!) I stamped each image with a no line ink and used my Karin Brushmarkers.   After the images were dry I did add a few shadows with a black colored pencil and highlights with a white gel pen. For the pears I added a "Shmear" of Stickles for some sparkle. 
Isn't this taco the best?  I just want to squeeze his little taco face! 
I tied string around each box multiple times and tied it into a bow.  The images were cut using the Stitched Circles die.  I adhered it to the top of the box using Crafty Foam Tape.  
For the last image, we are going old school.  I remember in college getting my first electrical typewriter and thinking I was all that! 
Technology sure has changed in the past few decades! 
Here is a better angle of the sentiment in the front of each box.  :)
Thank you for stopping by my friends! Have a wonderful Friday!

Whimsy Stamp's Release Day!

Happy New Year!
Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release day! WOOOHOO! I couldn't resist water coloring this adorable new set called, Candy Mouse! I am in love with the Karin Brushmarkers.  (Specific colors will be listed below)
I wanted a no line look so I stamped the image with a no line ink.  The trick with water colors is working in layers.  I have a tendency to rush and not let areas dry enough.  So usually when I water color I work on other projects at the same time to give it time to dry.  Once the image was colored the way I wanted it, I added Stickles and Glossy Accents. I cut the image out using the Stitched Circle Dies.  While the die was still in place I placed the Twinkle Stencil over it and inked it in a soft blue.  Just to give the background a bit of interest.
I added a silk ribbon and a few hearts from the Sparkletz Love Hearts collection. The blue circle behind the image was cut from the 6 x 6 Giraffe Paper Pack. 
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Happy New Year!
