Sushi Dolls - Fae & Fox

Hello all. Today I'm sharing the first of my Sushi Dolls April DT projects using the adorable Fae & Fox. I thought I'd attempt to colour Fae and her little fox friend using my limited supply of Copic markers and my new Copic airbrush. The result is two cards that I'm really proud of.

Here's number one:

Cute, right? Susi draws the most darling images. She makes me look good.

Here's card number two:

So sweet. And maybe a little more sophisticated.

Here's another look at the Sushi Dolls April 2014 release.

Head on over to Susi's store and get a few digis of your very own. Then make something and join the conversation on our Sushi Dolls Facebook page. I look forward to seeing you there...

SOG September 2013 Sketch

I found a little time to colour the adorable Big Pressie Tia and create a card for a friend's granddaughter.

My starting point for the layout was the Some Odd Girl sketch for September. I used some EP Hello Summer papers to cover a white card base, cut some a|s sugar cardstock with a Spellbinders Labels 8 die and spritzed it with a|s Splash ink in lemon whip. The sentiment was stamped on a Wplus9 banner die cut. Tia was trimmed out, covered in Versamark ink, and embossed with a half & half mix of clear embossing powder and Prisma glitter.

Sharing my colour combos for all the Touch Twin users out there:

Kisses by Mo Manning

While surfing the 'net recently, I came across some card samples using digital stamps by Mo Manning. I found her site, checked out her stamps and fell in love. I really like that she has a few images available in more than one ethnicity, perfect for me as I try out new skin colour combinations with my Touch Twin Brush markers. So I bought a few stamps and today I'm sharing my first creation - Kisses.

I wanted to experiment with a darker skin tone and use some of my fluorescent markers, and I managed to do both with this card. The bright colours and that sweet little kissy face make me so very happy. I used OWH sketch 191 as my starting point, but ended up with pinked edges instead of the fishtail banner. The papers are from Echo Park Hello Summer and were coloured with F123 to make a better match to her dress. I added a sentiment from A Muse Studio Just Because and called it done.

For all the Touch Twin users out there, here are the colour combos I used for this sweet little image:

I'm entering my bright and cheerful card in Mo's Digital Challenge this week - say it with flowers. I'm also entering it into the Color Me Creative challenge - Anything Goes.

Hugs and Kisses.

Supplies Used
stamps: Kisses (Mo's Digital Pencil), Just Because (A Muse Studio)
paper: sugar (a|s), Crafter's Companion White, Hello Summer (EP)

Midweek Sushi

I'm here to get you take you into the weekend by sharing a few new creations with you.

First up is Sushi Doll AniC. She is just so adorable.

I coloured her using Touch Twin brush markers and cut her out using a Lifestyle Crafts circle die. That sweet flower in her hair had me thinking Hawaii, so I diecut "Aloha" with the new a|s Tall Alpha dies and adhered my sentiment to a Terracotta Tile circle. Some patterned paper from the Echo Park Sweet Day pack was added to a white card base before I assembled the card.
Supplies Used:

Next, is Sushi Doll MingNa.

MingNa was also coloured using Touch Twin brush markers. I was inspired by a recent Marker Pop challenge to colour an image using various blues, so I chose a few blues and got to work. Her hair is coloured with markers from the blue grey family. Square Spellbinders Nestabilities were used to diecut both  MingNa and a mat in a|s ocean. Patterned paper is from MME Happy Day and the sentiment is from the a|s set, Friend to Friend.
Supplies Used:

As a reminder, here are the stamps released in August.

September will be here soon with a whole new set of Sushi Dolls to enjoy. I can't wait to share what Susi has in store for you...

Hugs and Kisses.
