HALLOWEEN FUN WITH TREASURED TIMES RUBBER STAMPS!!

Hi everyone!  i'm back here with you today to share my newest creation using one of the amazing stamps available at Treasured Times Rubber Stamps.   I hope you will pay a visit to Treasured Times Inspiration Blog, so you can see all the projects the DT gals have been showcasing over there, they are all fabulous!

Since we are fast approaching Halloween, I decided to use one of the many awesome Halloween stamps from Treasured Times Rubber Stamps.  I have chosen Booh Witch from artist Erica Nicomedi.

I absolutely adore this image and she was so much fun to color.  Image is colored with Copics after being stamped on Cryogen White paper using Memento black ink to stamp image.  

I decided to go with a "witchy-green" skin tone for this image and I think it turned out pretty cool - I hope you do too!  Colors used for skin are YG97, YG95, YG93 and YG91.  I added V01 for cheeks.

Witches hair is V06, V04 and V01.

Hat and outfit are W9, W7, W5 and W3.  I also colored spider necklace with W7 and W5 and then added some clear Sakura pen so that it showed up against her outfit of the same colors.  Patches on outfit and hat done with YR18, YR16, YR14, V09, V17, V15 and YG17, YG13 and YG03.  Oranges and green combo also used for letters as well as V06, V04 and C7, C5.

Her broom stick handle is done with E15, YR24 and YR21.  I added BG90 for the hightlights behind her and C4 and C2 under the base of the image.  I sure hope you like how the coloring turned out!

I chose Doodlebug Designs DP and CS from Bazzill, Coredinations and CTMH.  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the spider webs, which I think go great with the image and I found this awesome spider web ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I cut image with Taylored Expressions dies, and found this great dimensional and textured pumpkin sticker from Jolee's Boutique that I think adds a great finishing touch.

 I sure do hope you like it!!

Hugs!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend.  Despite being sick, there was still a lot going on here with both boys playing soccer out of town on opposite sides of where we live, so I went with one and hubby went with the other.

This is Peace and Love image that I have used today and she can be found at ZURI ARTSY CRAFTSY SHOP along with all the rest of Zuri's amazing images including all the brand new releases showcased here yesterday.

AUTUMN BEAUTY WITH TREASURED TIMES RUBBER STAMP

Hi everyone!  I apologize for my absense since Tuesday, when I had major computer issues and then real life caught up with me for a few days.  I am back here with you today to share my newest creation using one of the amazing stamps available at Treasured Times Rubber Stamps.  This is Peaceful Thoughts from artist Mi Ran Jung.  You can also find my post on Treasured Times Inspirational Blog and I hope you will head over there to catch up on all the DT gals amazing creations.

I absolutely adore this image and she was so much fun to color.  Image is colored with Copics after being stamped on Cryogen White paper using Memento black ink to stamp image.  

I used a different combo for hair - YR000, YR02, YR04, YR07 and E15 - as I enjoy experimenting with different color schemes.  I really like this color combo and I think it suits the image nicely - I hope you think so too.

For her jumper, I have used one of my favorite teal combos - BG78, BG75, BG49, BG57 and BG53.  I also added a wee bit of BG13 as my BG53 needed refilled and was a bit streaky.  I think BG13 added a nice touch.

Her bows are done with RV99, RV69 and RV66 and I added a wee bit of Shinhan marker P85, which is a nice bridge between RV69 and RV66.

Her shirt is done in yellows YR24 and Y35 and then I added E33 for the darker areas and blended it out a bunch.

Grass I my standard grass color - G99, YG67, YG63 and YG03.  I added E34, E53 and W4 to color the pebbles in the grass.

Dove is colored with W4, W2 and W0 and then blended out to make it look white and not dirty.  Talons and beak are YR24.

Stump she is sitting on is E47, E44, E43 and E42.  Highlights and shadows done with E43 and E42.

I chose Doodlebug Designs DP and CS from Bazzill.  Background die is from Sue Wilson and image is cut with Nesties.  I chose flowers from my stash - went with oranges to give it that Autumn feel.  Sentiment is from Mark's Finest Paper and is also cut with Sue Wilson die.

 I sure do hope you like it!!

Hugs!

Our festivities start on our TREASURED TIMES FACEBOOK FAN GROUP and then continue on TREASURED TIMES INSPIRATION BLOG.  Make sure you join our blog as a follower and leave a comment on the New Release post for the chance to win the complete set of New Releases - that's 4 amazing stamps!  Trust me, you will want them all!!

I chose to use "Celebrating Your Day" for my creation showcasing these awesome New Stamps!  All stamps can be found at TREASURED TIMES RUBBER STAMP SHOP.  I hope you will head on over there and check out all the shop has to offer.

I colored this beauty with Copics for the most part, but used my new Graph It markers for every part that is teal.  Image cut with Crafters Companion die.  DP is from Doodlebug Designs and ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I added a sentiment from My Craft Spot which is also cut with Crafter's Companion die.  I sure hope you like it and will come to our party at TREASURED TIMES FACEBOOK FAN GROUP and play in the contest by joining and leaving a comment at TREASURED TIMES INSPIRATION BLOG.

Today I used LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS rubber stamp Swings 'n Slides Books.  I absolutely love this image.  I colored her with Copics and cut out with L'il Inker dies.  I added in a wall for her to sit on.  She also comes with a stack of books as an accessory, so she can sit on those as well:)  My DP is Best Vreations and CS is American Crafts and SEI.  Fishtail die is from Taylored Expressions.  Sentiment, from Cardz TV, is cut with Nestie.  I added some Bo Bunny bling as well.  Sure hope you like it and check out the other girls creations!!
