Puddle Jumper Ella for My Daughter

Happy Monday!  Today I am back as promised with another card featuring my brand new Puddle Jumpers!  This doll is named Ella and can be found on sale right now at Claudio & Co.: 

I was hoping for a sketch challenge to inspire me today, but alas, this layout is my own.  With the bold colours of this gorgeous collection from Bo Bunny, I kept the embellishments to a simple bow.  I distressed the edges of the patterned paper with Creamy Caramel cats eye and chalked around the image with SU Creamy Caramel.

 

A huge thank you to my friend Christine for sharing her brand new copics with me so that I could try out a new-to-me colour combination for blondes: E50/Y21/Y26/Y28.

Copic Details

Dress - E00/E01/E11/E20

Belt, underskirt, and shawl - BG10/BG72/BG75

Shoes - E43/E44/E47/E49

Socks - C0/C1

Skin - E000/E00/E02 and chalk on the cheeks

I stamped off once before stamping directly onto the paper in order to achieve a lighter image on the inside of the card.  The sentiment is first generation.

Thank you for looking!

A Puddle Jumper for My Son

During my trip to Jasper with my best bud Christine (and neither monster!), I felt obliged to colour some images for my children.  My son and daughter love when I make them cards, which is a good thing considering it is my passion!  I find it difficult to find images I enjoy colouring for my son.  However I loved stamping my new Puddle Jumper Davey and colouring both him and his pet lizard:

I have flipped and rotated the sketch from The Sweet Stop in order to take advantage of my DP:

I cut the arrow so that I could bring it in front of the image and cut the background paper so that words would be legible.

I am still working on my shading, attempting to get more dramatic contrast that I admire in other cardmakers' images.

My daughter also wanted a Puddle Jumper card, so tomorrow's card will feature Ella.  I had a lovely afternoon at Christine's house but after colouring this little beauty I had to return to my two little monsters!

Davey will be entered into the following challenges:

The Sweet Stop - sketch (flipped and rotated)

Sundays with Crissy - Ribbon

Really Reasonable Ribbon - Something New plus Ribbon

Craft Your Days Away - Punch It Out (nestability to cut out Davey and a circle punch to fit patterned paper into the tag)
