Brrrrrrrrr!

Hello everyone!  This is Cassandra from Creating with Color by Cassandra.  Even though it's still way over 100 degrees in my neck of the woods, I have a chilly winter lake scene to share with you today.   :)

My card features the DoveArt Studios ~ Winter Lake.  This is the beautiful image that I colored for the recent holiday release and I thought I would share it with you again over here.  I colored it in with Copic Sketch Markers. It's a super fun image to color.  And it could easily be mass produced for Christmas Cards.  Just sayin'.   ;)

Copic Sketch Colors

water ~ BG72, BG75, BG78

snow ~ C1, C2, C3, C5

scarf ~ R24, R46 R59

Well my creative friends, that's it for me today.  I will see you all again soon.  Have a great day everyone!

Country Porch

Hello and welcome back to DoveArt Studios!  Rhea here today to share some inspiration with Jennifer Dove's New Release Country Porch.

This was such a fun image to color up!  And really represents the area where I live so I felt like a was coloring a part of my small country town.  I admit I used a ton of Copic Colors for this I couldn't even begin to list them all.  I just went with what I was feeling and it was wonderful to lose myself in this amazing image.

Until next time....

Christmas with the Harvest Wreath

Hi Everyone,

Just popping in to share my project featuring the Harvest Wreath Rubber Stamp

I thought I would try water coloring the stamp and used my Derwent Inktense pencils. I love how vibrant they are but I definitely need practise!

 

 

I thought it would be fun to create a funky background so I used a Tim Holtz splatters stencil and inked it with distress inks layering up all the colours as I moved the stencil around and then I used a mini mister to wet it to help the colours mix and soften a little.

 

To tie it all together, I fussy cut around the image so I could pop it up, and then finished with a sentiment and a few little embellishments.

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to add the  Harvest Wreath Rubber Stamp to your wishlist for this year's Christmas cards!

It is hard to find a sweet Santa that doesn't look dopey but I think we nailed it!  This sweet Santa is making his list and seriously doesn't have time to do it twice so make sure you get on the correct list the first time around ;)

This stamp is now available through CCDesigns or a local store can get this through their distributer.

Winter Lake

This image was super easy and fun to color up.  The perfect Christmas card I think because we can mass produce them.  I kept the layering simple for just that reason.  Thinking outside the box i brought in color combinations of blue, green, purple and a tad bit of peach.  Fun huh?!  This stamp is now available at CC Designs as well as your local stores.

Special Memories

This beautiful card was created by Marie Gamber.  I love how she used teals to make these shoes shine.  This stamp can be used for so many occasions but I love the way she left the shoes as the focal point and added aa little bling.  She totally nailed the shine too!!

BG20, BG72,  BG75 and BG 79

I added some cross hatching with a grey Faber Castelle Colored Pencil.  

I added some gold sequins for embellishment. 

You can see this and many more pieces of her beautiful work HERE

Hi all :)

Coloured with Copic Markers

After colouring the Moose and background I simply stamped the sentiment with brown ink and cut the image out with a rectangle stitched die then foam mounted it onto a slightly bigger rectangle stitched die then placed it onto a folded card the same size as the bigger die.

Peaceful Gardening

Hi all, Dorinda here.

Have you done much gardening this year?

I love doing it but wish I had more time.

This gorgeous scene has certainly produced some beautiful produce and blooms.

It's just soothing to look at.

This image is called Garden Bench.

I did write all colors down. There were tons and then I misplaced the list.

I do apologize. 

Big Hugs,

Dorinda

Here is Lookin' at Yah!

This was super fun to make and I am always looking for stamps that work with masculine cards...this one was PERFECT!  I combined it with a few other DoveArt Studios stamps too.  I am putting links right below for a quick and easy access to the store.

After coloring this cute guy up I fussy cut him out (which was easy to do).  I stamped the trees and quickly colored the background up.  I added a little Stampendous chunky white embossing powder to the trees just by sprinkling it on top and heading below.  A little edge distressing and POW! man card DONE!  This would also make a fabulous Christmas card too don't you think?
