Joy to the World

Tiddly Inks has a new challenge - ANYTHING Goes.  Hey, I can do that!  And since I love the coloring, I thought I'd try my hand at an all colored card.

The image is Wryn Goes Caroling.  After coloring the background, I fussy cut her out and glued her on.  The sentiment is also from the same set.  I colored her with Copic markers, but unfortunately, I put them away before writing them all down.  The stars are done with my Molotow Acrylic Paint Pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Thinking of You

I just love her sweetness, and she is SO much fun to color.  I used the following Copic markers:

Poppin' It Up

I have been just obsessed with coloring here lately.  What a great way to reduce stress!  And I really love the images at Tiddly Inks!  I decided to color up one of their Molly girls - Molly Shares - to enter their new challenge - Make It Pop!

Special Cards for a Friend

I recently applied for the Tiddly Inks Design Team.  Once I started coloring up those images, I just had to do a few more.  I love to color, and these images are so cute!

I have a friend who is going through a rough patch right now.  I decided to make her a few cards that I'll leave for her on her desk randomly.  Here's the first one using Tiddly Inks Genius.  I usually write down the Copic numbers as I'm coloring, but I forgot to do it on this one!  The paper is from Basic Grey Recess.

And I purchased another of the new Molly digital stamps, Molly Shares.  Her hair is SO pretty!  The paper is from Heartfelt Creations.  She is colored with the following Copic markers:
Skin:  E000, E11, E02
Flowers:  RV66, RV69, YG61, YG63
Clothes:  RV52, RV55

Finally, I colored one of the mermaids from Amy and her Mermaid Friends.  The paper is from Heartfelt Creations Peacock Paisley.  She is colored with:

Hair:  YG03, YG06, YG07, YG17
Skin:  E000, E01, E11, BV20
Outfit:  YG03, B93, B95, B97, G24, G28

Tiddly Inks

It's a little hotter than 100 deg F outside here in No California.  Tooooooo HOT!  So, my solution - staying in my craft room obsessively coloring!  Gosh, I love it!

Yesterday, I saw that Tiddly Inks was doing a DT call.  I've always loved their images, so I decided to apply.

I downloaded a few of their adorable digi images and got to coloring.  This first one, using Tiddly Inks Molly, is my submission to their DT and to their current Tingo Challenge (using dies, a Tiddly Inks Image and some ribbon):

Isn't she fun??!  I used some Heartfelt Creations, Sugar Hollow Paper.  I also used some lace and some purple seam binding ribbon.  The girl is framed by a Spellbinders Labels 10, and I added a Tattered Lace doily die cut.  The flowers are die-cut Tim Holtz rolled flowers, and I finished the card off with some twine and pearls.  I love how she turned out.  Here's the Copic colors I used:

Skin:  E000, E01, E02, BV00
Hair:  E31, E33, E35
Clothes:  V12, V15, V18, YG00, YG03, G14, RV63, RV66
Shoes:  E43, E44, E33, E35

I wanted to do something a little different, so I used Tiddly Inks Girl's Best Friend, some Spellbinder's Celebra'tions paper, some twine, pearls and a button to make this card:

I really love her curly hair!  She is colored with these Copics:

Skin:  E50, E01, E11, BV00
Hair:  E41, E43, E44, E47, E49
Clothes, BG53, BG57, R81, R83 (and a Molotow White Acrylic Paint Pen)
Doggie:  C1, C3, C5

Thanks for hanging with me through this long post!  And thanks for stopping by!  I'm going to have to straighten up the craft room a bit since I only have about a 5 in square to work on!  hehe

Craftily yours,

That gorgeous lace is from the 3 Girl JAM Light and Bright Set.  I used the Daffodil ribbon from the Spring Flowers Bundle too!  That adorable little girl with the huge feet is from Tiddly Inks and is colored with Copic markers, and the flowers and paper are from Heartfelt Creations.
