He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

A fun challenge in my Christian card making group.

Fun with a copic base. Then colored pencils and some ink to finish. This one blessed my heart when it was done because I love my urban farm and dream of one day owning a country farm.

New Designs for The Rubber Attic

I am having some fun while healing from my knee replacement surgery. Getting ready for some new polymer stamps and digi stamps in The Rubber Attic (no web site yet).

Meet Bently the Blue Jay and Jerbie the Giraffe. Don't mind me that I could not spell Rubber on that day. Did I mention I have been in pain? lol.

House Mouse Challenge entry: Paper Piecing

Copic ink with Colored pencils added and gouache. 

Just for fun

One of those cards that I took weeks to decide on and all of the pieces fell into place last night when I made the little bears.

 They are coated in 3D lacquer, as I love how that stuff makes an image pop!  

The flowers were a lot of fun to color too.

The Master

Well I have decided to restart The Rubber Attic. So I am working on some new digital designs that will be available eventually in polymer stamps and digital.

   This is a lot of fun to learn how to do on my iPad.

I finished this wolf last night, what do you think? Would you like to color him?

House Mouse Group exchange and RAK

We have alot of MOUSIE fun in the House Mouse group. This week we had to exchange a card that was created like cards would be, about 10 years ago. That meant not using alot of things that we have today like the Cuttlebug, stress inks and more.
 This presented a challenge for me a bit, as my images were all colored ahead, and using some bits of Copic Markers.  So like the innocent sneaky mousie that I am, I snuck that in. hehe...........
  The members of this group are all so special to me. I want to begin sending some RAKS, so I started with Naughty Mouse, Mary Anne.  She got the above collage card that has so many items in it, that represent her, and her life. I loved doing it.

It's Tuesday, but What's on my Desk Wednesday

I am very busy on Wednesday, so you got me on Tuesday. This little bear was an experiment that I just LOVE so much. I used Copics as a base, then colored him with colored pencils, then used Copics to blend him. Well I found out that this will ruin your Copics, so don't us Copics to blend, but you can use Alcohol on a stump or Q-tip. You can also us Gamsol.
    All it did was soften the colors so they blended in well.
 I liked using the Copic's under the pencils because there was no white showing through.  I am so happy about how he turned out. I wanted to cuddle him. He looks life like.
 I make real teddy bears from my own designs and patterns, so Teddies have such a special place in my heart.
 This teddy bear was on ebay for 10.00 and it had "make an offer" on it. I offered 5 and thought he would come back with a counter offer, but he didn't. He took my 5 and I am so happy to own him. He is a piece of art all by himself as a stamp. He is a very large PSX stamp.  I should give him a name. What do you think?
 I am also posting photo's of some of my hand made teddies.

Happy Copic/Colored Pencil Tuesday, oops Wednesday. Oh well, so it is  really Tuesday, but we can pretend. :)
