FTH's February Stamp of the Month

I colored the snowman digi stamp for From The Heart's February Stamp of the Month challenge (this is the first time I have entered in From The Heart's Stamp of the Month challenge).  The image is called Snowman and Cocoa and comes with the "Let It Snow!" sentiment  (purchase from From the Heart's Shop), and I also included the sketch #137 challenge (though I am unsure if the sketch still counts).   I used Copic markers to color my image and added some foam stickers for embellishments. 

(I had only wanted to do some shading with a blue tint for the snowman but my coloring didn't go as planned.  My poor snowman is blue...  I guess that is why he needs some cocoa to warm him up.)

Sketch #137

I used a free online water marker program called uMarkOnline.

Yoga

When I was growing up, I didn't really know anything about Yoga.  Now Yoga seems to be everywhere which is great IMO.  I find that doing a short Yoga stretch and release routine before going to bed helps me to sleep (I work third shift so I find it difficult to sleep during the day and stay awake at night).

I have been doing Tone It Up's Stretch and Release routine on YouTube.

Faery Ink's Gabbie Halloween Witchfire

In October 2015, I learned about Alyce Keegan's amazing Kit and Clowder.  Amanda from Faery Ink had posted on her blog about Alyce's wonderful techniques for coloring in pencils and markers.  I was a complete newbie (and I still am a newbie) but I saw all of the amazing artwork.  I really wanted to try and learn to color too.  Plus Amanda's (Faery Ink) images were being used for the Create and Learn's October project!  Since the projects are for beginners and non-beginners, I knew I had to give it a try. 

Here is the very first Kit and Clowder project I have colored using Copic markers.  Not bad for a complete newbie.  :)

The image is called Gabbie Halloween Witchfire. 

I used a free online Picture to People program to place the watermark  on my image.

Reach For The Star Digi Stamp

This adorable digi stamp is by Little Darlings Creative.  It was a free gift for Kit and Clowder's Christmas 2015 Advent Calendar event. 

 I used Copic markers to color the image.

I am seriously thinking about trying to make my Christmas cards using this image though I hadn't try to make cards yet.  I am sort of scared about the card making process.  (Right now this image is roughly an 8x10.)

I used a free online Picture To People program to put a watermark on my image.

Whimsy Inspirations Blog

I have been learning to color from Kit and Clowder which is run by Alyce.  She is an amazing and gifted artist!  I think my coloring ability has improved.

Through Kit and Clowder, I have discovered several websites (and Etsy ) offering so many awesome digital stamps; as well as, rubber and clear stamps. 

One of these websites is Whimsy Stamps which is having a January 2016 release and prize giveaway. If you are interested, please check out Whimsy Inspirations Blog.
