Candy by Crafty Kitten

     I was surfing the internet and stumbled upon Crafty Kitten at "Cards for Every Occasion". She is giving away some Candy. A CD rom from Polka Doodles featuring stamps, digi paper  (oh my) and a lot of other goodies. I love digi paper or maybe I should say addicted to digi paper. My poor computer is full to the brim of papers. Oh and my craft room too. So it really doesn't matter whether it is digi or the real thing.....I love paper!!

     Anyways if you stumbled upon me why don't you check out her blog for some candy. Just click her link on my sidebar.

     Back to my coloring, Linda

Another Moving Card

    Well back to the drawing board. Christy made a comment that I didn't have enough of white spaces for the Less is More challenge liking. So I have tried again. The stamp is a freebie from Karoove(http://www.karoove.co.uk/). I don't think I will mass produce this one for coloring that fence was hard to see for these ole eyes. Of course I could make a larger card for this is A2 size. Might try that right now for tonight's couch coloring. :)

Thanks for looking, Linda

Challenges

Less is More - One Layer/houses

Moving

     Less is More is having a challenge one layer/houses. Since we will be moving beginning of the year decided to search the internet for a digi. I could have gone through my stash of stamps and probably found something but you know really didn't want to do that. I found this stamp at Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps by Hope Jacare. Right cute isn't it. She has a lot of doodle art.
     Doodle art means doodle coloring. Right? Since I have had my copics and been practicing I have spent hours blending so this was way out of my comfort zone. But I figured since I would have to do around 30 of the moving cards I needed something simple. This stamp was just right.  I think I have seen manufactured cards with the coloring like this. I think it is suppose to look like children did it. lol

Have a good day, Linda

Ice Cream and Pickles

 There is a couple of challenges with shaped cards which caught my fancy. I have colored "Ice Cream and Pickles" from Saturated Canary and placed her on a shaped bottle card. I cut the card with a file from Make-the-Cut forum and cut it out with my Zing. Also Nolan was cut out with the zing. My zing let's me a cut out amazing files and I can also design my own. Could not live with out it. She also will print and cut. I could have done that with Ice Cream and Pickles but I haven't done it in awhile and I figured since I better get this card done I should cut her by hand. I did layer her hand to give a more 3D effect. I cut out patterned paper for her outfit. I saw that technique either on pinterest or saturated-canary blog. Not for sure but thanks for the inspiration to that person. Lettering was also glittered and than covered with crystal effects. Her eyes also have crystal effects.

Thanks for Stopping, Linda
