Day 23. Snip Snip

challenge_graphic-nov16_16x24

Hello Friends, It’s Day 23!!! How is your week going? Thank you all for your concern about my cold. Truth be told I felt like s*@#  yesterday but, today I can function. YAY

dsc_0079

It’s a good thing because it’s my turn on the Stamping Bella blog today for their guest this month. Who couldn’t resist coloring this sweet girl called, “Tiny Townie Pamela The Poinsettia” Yah… I hear ya that’s quite the name lol but, she’s to die for. Love this one just as much.

img_2172

Tiny Townie Pamela  is on the front of the packaging in full color so I used that as my guide for my shadows.

When you have the right scissors it’s easy to alter an stamp for a little fun. I am very particular because I get in some very tight areas like cutting between her tiny lil fingers.

Once I cut something out  I always always run the memento marker along the edges to complete the look & for 2.99 you can’t beat it..I use mine daily. (I don’t like using an alcohol marker because it bleeds into my image)

The sentiment from the stamp set was easy to create a frame using the chisel end of my marker along the edge of the paper. A few sequins and some foam tape to pop her off the card. *I forgot to mention that I colored and cut and extra petal skirt that I popped on her*

Before I put her to rest on my card panel I quickly grabbed this stencil and my distress tool that had some ink on it. Wink of stella was added on the petals… I chose this because it’s less sparkly which was the perfect touch.

See you tomorrow for another giveaway and thanks for your lovely comments. If you pop over to the Stamping Bella blog be sure to scroll down for the most inspiring post from some of my favorite marker gals. Hugs, Kathy

    Oh she’s a cutie and you used my favourite scissors to cut her out! Nothing works like our Cutter Bees! Thinnest blade I have ever found for getting in tiny round corners.
    My friend stamped a few Bella’s for me. I’ll colour another today. Must check their site for the ruffle tutorial!

    Glad you are functioning. It’s not fun to cook with a mask and surgical gloves on. Just takes away from the festivities!

    Love this little sweet little poinsettia skirt! If I had a little girl I might have to make one! Too cute!

    So adorable. I love StampingBella designs. They have such great stamps. I like how you created a sign for her to hold. Very clever, and changing things up to make the stamps even more versatile. So glad you’re getting better. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving…and thanks to you, for all you do for us.

    Such a lovely card Kathy! I really like stamps that come with a coloured image to copy,don’t have many like that though,so I always gets heaps of colouring inspiration from you and other bloggers 🙂

  25. Aileen Ryan says

    November 23, 2016 at 1:38 pm

    Kathy, she is so so cute. I looooove that petal dress, the extra layer is the perfect finish to her. The surgery around her hand is exceptional, a surgeon in the making 🙂 As always a creation worth coming to look at.

  26. Bobbie says

    Cheering that you’re feeling much better; hopefully you’ll be back to 100% to enjoy your Thanksgiving celebrations tomorrow! Your Pamela the Poinsettia has me smiling brightly! The image is sweet; your colouring, paired with the added skirt layer, the smattering of white dots and the hint of sparkle, elevate her to incredibly x ultra sweet! LOVE this!

    Gorgeous coloring Kathy! I hope your friend reads this and kicks herself in the butt for not thanking you. Maybe she still will, either way I have learned a long time ago that some people just don’t understand how much effort goes into something like this. To them this must be easy for you. Either way it is best to let it go 🙂 Hugs and hope you are feeling better, Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!

    Me again! How do we find out if we have won anything from your blog?

    And, do you list the winners from the November Altenew Release? For example, they had 3 winners with a $50 gift certificate. And you had a give-away, too!

    There have been so many give-aways, I don’t know where to look! And i’d hate to miss out if I were fortunate enough to be chosen. Thanks for helping me out.

    And of course, I love to see your projects being colored and the tips and tricks you share! And how amazing the finished cards look! Thanks again for this 30 Days of Coloring Challenge! I think I’m going to continue coloring every day I can even after the challenge!

    His,

    Darling image. Love the little girl and that is some hard cutting out of the hands but so worth it. I like the extra flowers skirt.. Darling card. I do use the marker to go over my cut out images. It does complete the image.
