Hexes and more Hexes

Today I am quilting with paper....That's paper punch Hexes from Stampin-up.
Little Miss Muffet is having an anything-goes-challenge, so I am showing off her new Jamie Stamp with face.  Come join us...

The first card is Jamie from Little Miss Muffet Polka Dot Pals.  I also used her new Add-on-Faces eye stamp for the eyes and glasses.  Remember the Polka Dot Pals have two little beaded eyes?

The second card is Tilda With Bunny Balloon from Magnolia.  Here I colored her eyes in and played with Zentangle on her ballon.

And just so you know that I really love to quilt....here is a picture of my Hexes quilt I am working on now:

 

Enjoy and have a nice day...

Texas Colouring Retreat

Just one of the Cards we did at the Colouring Retreat with Zoe, Barbara and Christy.  We had this coloring challenge with us coloring on a card and passing it on to our neighbor until the card made it around the room.  Each time we had  3 minutes to color. This is my card and I started with two tone purple bows on her dress and in her hair.  It turned out really fun and was a real learning experience!

Coloring Practice

Today Barbara and I are coloring again.  Practicing my coloring.
The one on the Left is done with Prismacolor Pencils only and the one on the Right was done with Copic Markers and topped with Prismacolor Pencils. I used Strathmore Bristol Vellum Surface paper and I REALLY LIKED using the pencils but found it harder to use the Copic Marker.  They seemed to puddle on me.

 

Which one do you like best?

More Coloring from the Retreat

 Here are two cards from the coloring retreat:
     The first one is Fancy Sunbonnet Miss Muffet from Little Miss Muffet.  The background was painted with a ink pad and stamp with Fancy Sunbonnet Miss Muffet masked out, just as Zoe taught us. The pen was a cross from Zentangle, Barbara's clouds and my own thoughts.

The second card was from the coloring hair challenge, Hair of a different color .  I colored the hair with copic markers.  The rest was colored with Prismacolor pencils. The paper for this one was Zoe's paper.

 

Enjoy:

SP06 Tilda

Here's a card I made using one of the older Magnolia images named "SP06 Tilda."  I had this image colored a while ago but added the red highlights before adding it to a card.

 

The older Magnolia are cute looking with their single strand of hair and skinning legs.  I would love to find more of them.

Still using Copic Sketch markers and Cryogen White by Cut Card Stock.

Enjoy....

Summer Flower Tilda

This is Summer Flower Tilda by Magnolia and colored with Copic Markers.  The head was stamped twice and a mask was created with the face.  The first image shows Tilda holding the mask and the second picture shows Tilda with the mask on.  I also cut off the butterfly wings on this image and included the gold sparkly wings for a more dimensional look.  Now this Tilda is all ready for the mascaraed ball!

 

I have always wanted to this to Tilda and finally got around to it.  From little skinny pole legs to cute little faces. How fun was this!

Enjoy,,,,

SP06 Tilda and Annie

These are some of the original Magnolia Tilda images and they look completely different from the current Tilda images.  These two were conspicuously named "SP06 Tilda" and "SP06 Annie" from 2006.  Instead of fussy cutting around the strand of hair, I cut it off and used brown jute.  In the background I have used the fence DooHickey, MFT Grass metal die and also chipboard embellishment from Make it Crafty that were painted white.

Aren't they just the cutiest! Magnolia you have come a long way baby,,,,,,,,

Little Miss Muffet new release
