My Post-it Note Pad Cover for the Really Reasonable Ribbon/Scor-Pal Challenege!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all survived all of the ghosties and goblins that were on the loose last night!

 Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings newest challenge is being co-sponsored by Scor-Pal so I hope you will join in on the fun and a chance to win some nice prizes form Really Reasonable Ribbon or Scor-Pal. The Challenge is to do a winter project and use blues, silver and whites...with ribbon or trim.

I did a little Post-it note pad cover and pen set.

 The beautiful ribbon I chose to play with is White Satin Diamonds from this month's Ribbon of the Month Club over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon.. It is drop dead gorgeous!

If you are not a Ribbon of The Month Club member, you should seriously think about joining. You get 10-15 yards of beautiful assorted ribbon for just $9.00 (including shipping) every month!

I used the "Snow Tweet" clear stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

It is so fun and easy to color. You can just change the color of his hat and scarf to match and designer paper or cardstock! I used The Paper Temptress's ~ Heavenly White, Silver Sizzle Glossy, and Lapis Lazuli. 

I used Scor-Tape (now available at Really Reasonable Ribbon) to make the pad holder and attach all of the elements. I have started using it under all of my ribbons and they always stay right where I put them! Love love love the stuff!

I almost forgot to mention how nice it is using my Scor-Pal when doing multiple scores on these little pad covers! ;)

Thanks for dropping by!

If you have a few minutes to spare, you really should head on over to our blog and see what inspiration the other girls have whipped up for you.

It would be AWESOME if you played along in our challenge too!  ;)
You can get all of the details HERE.

Hugs,

True :D

Hello Again!

Today I have a card to share that is done with my latest illustration for Clear Dollar Stamps. It is called "Rooster Sunrise" and will be available November 1st.

That pretty ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon's Sheer Iridescent Parrot Green.

The background is watercolored on watercolor paper, then I offset a square Nestability cut it out, then popped it up backed by a piece of brown cardstock. Another trick I used on this guy was using a white gel pen for the highlights on his feathers.

CDS Sneak Peek ~'A Cuppa Kitty" ~ Another one of my Illustrations

Tweet

Hello All!

Today, I have an exciting post! I get to show you another one of my stamp illustrations that will be available for purchase at Clear Dollar Stamps on July 1st. The set is called "A Cup Full of Happiness" and comes with the image plus several different sentiments. 

This is such a fun stamp to color. I have done it in several colors to look like all of the kitties in my life. This one looks like my cat Nother, who was the model for the stamp. I will show you another version on Saturday.

I colored the kitty with Prismacolor pencils and watercolor pencils, then paper pieced the cup and saucer. I then added some UTEE to add some shine.

Remember...you can click on any picture to enlarge!  ;)

The beautiful ribbon and bow are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

It is their Olive Wrinkled Ribbon.

Please check out the other girls who are sneak peeking this image today.
