Paper piecin' pumpkins!

This little cutie is a clear stamp set called "Li'l Pumpkin" (Pure Innocence by My Favorite Things). I pieced it with DSP from the "Matilda" Mini Deck from Cosmo Cricket. I just love her little shoes, which I colored with gold pen and Glossy Accents!

Little Red Riding Hood: Through the Garden Gate Challenge

I visited the Stamps R Us Challenges blog today and saw the current "Through the Garden Gate" challenge. I remembered this cute image of Little Red Riding Hood from an old book that I found at Digital Two for Tuesday. I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. I like the bright red against the soft aqua.
Thanks for stopping by!

Full moon missing you card


Every Thursday at my LSS, Angela's Happy Stamper in Reston, VA, has a card make-and-take. I sent the one I made to my friend for her birthday, and made this version at home with the supplies I have. You just cut a circle mask for the full moon, brayer over it with a couple of shades of blue (and/or distress the edges with blue); remove mask and apply your rubber stamp (I think I should have repeated this stamp twice) maybe; then I drew in the tiny dragonflies because I don't have that little stamp. I added little touches of gold pen.

Cards for Kids: OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge

This cute digi was a freebie from Meljen's Designs. I colored it with Copics.

Vintage flower fairy


This cute vintage flower fairy image is from Clearly Vintage, which is Digital Two for Tuesday's blog. Thanks to fellow OWHer Lee Mae, who made a card with one of these images recently and reminded me of all these flower fairies that Cora posted at Clearly Vintage some time ago! This little cutie was already colored; she reminds me of a pumpkin.

OWH Sketch #78 - Hugs & Kisses

Welcome! I used a little Hugs & Kisses rubber stamp I found on sale at The Paper Source. The sentiment is one of those great rubber stamps from the $1 bin at Michael's. That's an EK border punch, and the black and white DSP is from my stash. Sorry, I thought I saved the name of it. Love those little flat stick-ons from JoAnn's (I hope they stay on all the way to Afghanistan and back, lol!).
Thanks for stopping by.

"Peacock Beauty" - D2D's Friday Freebie Challenge



I think this week's digi from Designed 2 Delight is gorgeous. I was tempted to not even color it and leave it as a line drawing, but I also wanted to try using my Prismacolor pencils with baby oil or odorless mineral spirits. My friends at OWH have told me about that technique. This is the first time I tried it, using baby oil. Then I covered it with Tattered Angels' Glimmer Glam in "Icicle", and added a few dots of Glossy Accents. I still would like to use this digi in its original b&w form, on a background of b&w papers. Thanks for this pretty digi, Faith, and thanks for stopping by!
