Sent with love and washi tape


This beautiful lady is one of the new clear stamps from Sweet November Stamps. You can get her right now in the Crafty Purple Frog shop or direct from Sweet November Stamps. She is called SN gal Val

I coloured her up with the following copics:
Skin: E33, E11, E00

Dress: V17, V15, V12
Boots: R85, R83, R81



I got a pack of this gorgeous washi tape from DRK Crafts it is the Dovecrafts bright set. I love the foil effect that some of these tapes have and this was so quick to put together as a back ground for this card.


To finish it off I used a big Thank you sentiment also from Dovecraft to finish it all off.

Sweet November Stamps Valentines release YouTube hop


 Spiin embroidery floss from DRK crafts. I got the pack of 144 so there are so many options and I also got the needles and the needle threader with the threads that I didn't even realise came in the pack. 


This little guy is from the brand new clear stamp release by Sweet November Stamps and this set is called Kitty Cuddles : Sully. You can grab it from my Crafty Purple Frog store HERE for you UK people or direct from Sweet November Stamps HERE and they are based in the US. 

Here is a YouTube video showing my colouring and how I added the stitching to this little guy




I used the following copic colours to colour in this little boy and his cat:

Skin: E33, E11, E00
Top:YR07, YR04, Y08
Jeans: B99, B97, B95
Shoes: E25, E23, E21
Cat: W8,W6,W4, E04


When I do this again I will use a thicker card stock or add more tape to the area I am putting the thread in just to strengthen the card a bit more. I would also probably give the area I am adding the thread to a base coat of a colour just to hide some of the gaps and add a bit more depth but I am still so happy with how this turned out :D

A not so scary haunted staircase


This pretty princess is not scared by this staircase in her castle. I wanted to show that this Haunted Staircase digi stamp from Sweet November Stamps could be used for more than just Halloween. 




The beautiful princess is an oldie but a goodie called Lillianne. She is another digi stamp from Sweet November Stamps. I love the way you can mix and match all the digi stamps so easily to make fun scenes like this. I coloured this scene with a mix of copic markers and a gold Nova acrylic paint pen. to add some shiny metallic details to her bodice.
The sentiment is from the Royal Treatment clear stamp set.
I hope you are all having a lovely week and I would love to know what characters you would like to put in this castle :D


I am entering this card for the following challenges:
Digi Tuesday - Anything goes
Everybody Art - Anything Goes
Shopping our stash - Inspired by fairy tales (this princess digi I have had for more years than I want to admit and I have her in a rubber stamp version as well)
Cupcake inspiration - Inspired by fairy tales

Let the shellebration begin!

I am so ready for the warmer weather to show up now. I think this little mermaid is feeling the same. She was part of the last digi Christmas release over at Sweet November Stamps last year but she definitely works for any season.
She is part of the Griswold and Bethany digi set and because she is a digi you could grab her right now. No waiting for or paying for postage. It doesn't get much better than that :D  


I have coloured her up with the following copics:
Hair: W10, W8, W6, W4
Skin: V17, E35, E13
