Holiday release from Stamp Insanity

Beth from Stamp Insanity has done it again! You will LOVE the 3 holiday releases!  And where do you get them? Well, thanks for asking! At Stamp Happens of course! They are the only place on the web to order Stamp Insanity stamps!

The Holiday release has so many awesome images, but truthfully, the sentiments are my fav! A little on the edgy side and a whole lotta fun!

So lets get to it! My image is from the Naughty and Nice set:

Stamp Insanity Morgan is channeling her playful side!

Card base is SU Old Olive, layered with Bashful Blue and Real Red.  The DP is from Imagininisce Polar Expressions Pine and Peppermint and super sparkly!

I took a hint from the paper and added some MS glitter to everything I could on Morgan’s outfit!

You may have to click on the picture to make it bigger, but I added glitter to her trim on her hat and dress, belt and shoe buckles and her earrings.

I struggled  a bit with the label, it looked too bare just white, and the Prisma didn’t blend as much as I wanted it to, so I think I may redo that.

 

You’ll see my water mark is back…I finally received my order of PhotoShop Elements! Yay! no more dark pictures! It was perfect timing since I just loaded Windows 7 on my computer.  I had to spend quite a bit of time today reloading everything back on to the computer…don’t you hate that? So, forgive me, but I’m still configuring Live Writer so here’s my next request:

Hop on over to the side bar to find the other StampSistah’s links and visit them for some inspiration…by the next post I will have all my links reprogrammed…I promise!

Don’t forget to head on over to Stamp Happens and pick up the new Holiday release!

Happy Monday!

Ciao for now,

Widlflower Kids Rubber Stamps- Digital Holiday release!

Hiya!
I hope you had a great weekend, I'm on the road today (so forgive the layout, I'm working in blogger and it's a timed post); I was at home celebrating the wedding of a childhood friend. It was a large Italian wedding, a great party and LOTS of yummy food! Tonight I'll be attending a Gala event in Toronto, a performance of a 250-children orchestra conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.

But for right now, it's time for another release from the Wildflower Kids Rubber Stamps and Jen has outdone herself with these adorable digital holiday releases!

Here's my project for this week:


I love the ability to resize the digital images, and decided to make them a bit larger and make a gift tag out of them.
I also got to use my Angle Wings Shimmerz I bought from Tonya at Stamp Happens....I had to hold myself back not to put Shimmerz on everything!





Here's another picture that shows the Shimmerz on the white parts of the candy cane a bit better. If I adjust the lighting, it's much to over exposed, so it is a bit dark.

I used prismas to colour the red parts, and blended with OMS. I've noticed that my printer ink doesn't smear with OMS like it does with other blending mediums (baby oil and goo be gone), and even with watercolouring. I watercoloured the bow with SU Old Olive, which I will be using a lot this holiday season; it's my favourite shade of green. I punched the wrong size hole for ribbon, so I'll use some twine to tie it to the gift.

Want to see the rest of the digital images?
Hop on over to the sidebar and check out the design team's projects for some inspiration.

Then, get your shopping shoes on and head on over to Stamp Happens to download the digital holiday images and you can start creating IMMEDIATELY! (that's the other great part about digis....no waiting!)


Happy Monday!
Ciao for now,
