Brightening up the darkest depths

This stamp is from Moonlight Whispers Stamps and is called the darkest depths. I wanted to change her up and give her a pastel feel. She was so much fun to colour up with my copics and I just had to add the pearls for that little touch of extra texture.

The sentiment is from a Sweet November Stamps stamp set called Sea birds.

You can get this beauty from the Crafty Purple Frog store in the UK or direct from the Moonlight Whispers Store in Canada.

Sending you smiles :D

Hello lovely crafty people!

This is Amy coming to you on a different day this week with my Sweet November Stamps DT card due to the fun collab hop with Heffy Doodle that went on on Tuesday. You have until next Tuesday the 26th of March to enter the hop by the way so be sure to click HERE if you haven't already hopped along for your chance to win some great prizes.

Now onto my card for today......This duo are digi stamps from the awesome Sweet November Stamps. they are both from the Midsummer Mushroom Collection and are called Honeycup & Porcini. I just couldn't resist putting them together for this card. I didn't colour either of their mushrooms the colours they would be in real life but for me that is the fun of colouring 😁 You can pick the colours you want.

In the background I used a Sweet November Stamps Scene Builder digi called Brownie Hole and Accessories. The sentiment is from a The Greeting Farm stamp set called Anya Combo 2.

Finally for my layers under my scene I used some green card from Dovecrafts A4 primary colour card pack plus some gold glitter washi tape from the love to craft washi tape collection over at DRK crafts.

I hope you have all had a great week so far and are ready for the weekend.

Huge hugs

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

Hair: W10, W8, W6

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

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

Tail: R85, R83, R81

Dahlia Fae

This beautiful oldie but a goodie digi is called Dahlia-fae and you can get her from the awesome Sweet November Stamps. I had a lot of fun colouring her up with copics and will have a video on my colouring shortly on my YouTube channel. If you haven't already I would love it if you would follow me over there. You can find my YouTube 

For the background I used a stencil called Laurel from Lavinia stamps and inked blended Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks before flicking some Rustic Wilderness distress oxide spray.

Skin: E33, E11, E00

Hair: W9, E49, E59, E57

Gerbera daisy fae my first post as part of the Sweet November Stamps DT

For the rest of the card to spotlight her I have used a mix of 2 Dovecraft A4 card packs, Summer and Primary.

Then I moved the stencil to fit even more of them in.

It is time for another create it 3 ways Instagram hop

Hello and welcome to the Create It 3 Ways IG Hop! We are sharing triple the inspiration! This is a monthly hop on every 3rd Saturday at 3 PM ET – please message @amritapettus for more info if you’d like to join us.

This month’s hop theme is summer.

Each month we challenge ourselves by choosing our own category to feature across all 3 cards. I chose to feature a Sweet November Stamps stamp plus use the same First Edition 6x6 Let's celebrate paper pad from DRK Crafts for all my makes.

This adorable little lady is called Quinn. She is from the brand new Sweet November Stamps release that is out just today. You can pick her up in either The Sweet November Stamps shop in the US or from the Crafty Purple Frog shop in the UK.

I have done 3 different things with the stamp I coloured her with copics for this first card.

I coloured her with the following copics:

Skin: E33, E11, E00

Hair: R85, R83, R81

Swimming costume: B02,B01,B00

Ice cream: Bg13, BG23, E43

For this second card I paper pieced the girls swimming costume. To do this I stamped her onto the patterned paper and then cut her swimming costume out and stuck it on top of the copic coloured image.

I coloured her with the following copics:

Skin: E33, E11, E00

Hair: YR24, Y18, Y13

Ice cream: R85, R83, R81, E43

For this last card I have decoupaged her to make her look more 3D. To do this I stamped her out twice. I coloured both in and cut round her head and arm and used foam pads to stick it on top of the first one I had stamped out.

I coloured her with the following copics:

Skin: E33, E11, E00

Hair: E59, E57, E55

Swimming costume: YR24, Y18, Y13

Ice cream: R85, R83, R81, E43
