Artist Emma

Hello everyone, do you ever have moments where you just don't feel inspired to create? I have to admit, with the craziness of everything going on in the world & being very busy with life, I felt like I lost a bit of my mojo recently.  I was in my craft room & just didn't know where to start. I pulled out some of my images that had been coloured & waiting to be made into projects. I came across this cute doll from Paper Nest Dolls called Artist Emma. I will let you in on a little secret. This was the very first PND image I ever coloured. I coloured her back in August of 2018, almost 2 years ago.

She looks very artistic with her paint pallet & brush, so she became my inspiration. I decided to create a simple background using a rainbow, which to me is a symbol of hope & promise. Well at least in my craft room!  I pulled out my Tim Holtz Distress Markers, chose some rainbow colours & coloured directly onto my rubber stamp. I then spritzed it lightly with some water before I stamped the image onto my paper. This created the painted rainbow effect. It took me 3 tries, because the first 2 times I sprayed too much water, which put blobs onto my rainbow. Now how good is that final result?

I then created the base with layers of dies & decorated with some flowers. Simple & easy but very effective. I did intend to turn this into a card.........but it looks so cute on my mini easel in my craft room. I think I just might leave it as a display for now ;) 

Artist Emma is available as a rubber stamp here & also in digi format here.

Supplies:

Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls "Artist Emma" Stampin Up "Work of Art"

Ink: Memento - Grape Jelly

Farmer Owen

Hello everyone, today I want to share with you a sweet card using a moo-velous image for Paper Nest Dolls called "Farmer Owen". Farmer Owen also comes with a little cow friend.

I love this image as it reminds me of my childhood growing up on a farm with cows, chickens & the occasional pig for pets, not to mention the usual cat & dog.

 

I wanted to keep the farm theme so I created the background using dies on a 6" base. I remember having lots of hessian around growing up on a farm so I incorporated burlap instead of ribbon. I didn't go crazy with embellishments as the recipient is a boy.

Farmer Owen & his little cow friend are available in digi format & can be found here.

Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls "Farmer Owen"
Paper: Doodlebug Design - Down On The Farm
Colouring Medium: Copics

Pot O' Gold

Hello everyone, St Patrick's Day is just around the corner! Do you celebrate St Patrick's Day? If so, how do you celebrate your special day? I am not Irish, but today I wanted to share with you a cute project I made for St Patrick's Day. For my project I made some Pots O' Gold with some yummy chocolate coins as treats. 

I started with Paper Nest Dolls images Lucky Lulu & Lucky Jack. I then created the pots and St Patricks Day cutouts using an SVG file with my Silhouette & some pretty paper from Doodlebug Design. 

After I put the pots together I put a small block of floral foam on the bases for my green painted skewers to sit onto. I covered the foam with Green shredded tissue paper & placed the chocolate coins on top. Lastly I stuck my PND images & cutouts to the skewers & added some flowers around the pots for that special touch!

Both stamps are available in digi format. Lucky Lulu can be found here & Lucky Jack can be found here.

Supplies:

Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls "Lucky Lulu" "Lucky Jack"
Paper: Doodlebug Design - Lots O' Luck

SVG File: Doodlebug Design - Lots O' Luck
SVG File: SVG Cuts - Pot O' Gold 

Colouring Medium: Copics
