Coloring with Pencils.

Hello Crafty Family; Sharette here with you for this month's post.. I have a really quick post to share with you ALL today.. I still have not sat to even try to make any kind of cards or scrap page.. But I have found time here and there to carve out a little coloring. Here are 3 images from Simply Betty Stamps.. I know you have seen a lot of her work.. But I am a creature of habits, and basically if I find something I like; I stick with it. LOL

 

 Here is my first one. Perfect Curls Betty.. They are ALL digis that I printed on white card stock an colored with my Prisma colored Pencils.

 This one is Powder Puff Betty.. I just love her sassy little pose with her powder and puff and her little sexy bustier. These images are really not for cards. I plan on putting a coloring book or binder with images from all of my favorite stamp and artist company.   I often right the colors that I am using so that I can have them as reference.

And last but NOT least. My favorite of the group. " All Polished Up Betty". This little lady is soo me, as I am a LOVER of anything nail polish. I love her hair and cute bows. Yes I did add a little glitter to all of them It would Not BE me if I didn't.

These again are not for cards or tutorial.. Just what I have been doing to try and keep the coloring thing going. I hope you all enjoyed taken a look and as always, if you have any questions or comments. Please leave them below.

Happy Crafting.

How About a little Bon Bon!

Hello my fellow crafty friends. Let me start my post with wishing you ALL a very Happy New Year.  As this is my first post for the New Year with the SOC family. I am sending blessings and joy for the coming year and many more after that. I am so glad to be back with you all. Have you checked out all the great happenings here on the SOC blog.  I can tell you that we are going to have a fabulous year, bringing you fun and exciting things to come. 

 I was so happy to get my post ready for this month. As I have not picked up my coloring pencils for the last few weeks. My kids have been home for their winter break and getting them back in to the regular routine of  school, has left me little time for my favorite hobby. I wanted to share a new digi that I picked up from "Simple Betty Stamp".   If you follow my blog you will know that I am a HUGE fan of hers and she has some of the cutest, quarkie little stamps.

This is CutieCupid Betty. She is one sassy little lady. Perfect for that special Valentine don't you think!! I colored her with my Prisma colored Pencils and OMS (Oder less Mineral Spirits). She is wearing stockings. I tried to make it like "fishnet" stockings, but I can use a little practice with that. lol.

Here is my card that I made with her. I started off with cream card stock from PTI.  DP is from Echo Park. I used my Martha Stewart heart punch and added a little hand made button.

I hope you enjoyed seeing her, as I had fun coloring her. If you have any questions or comments please leave them. I love hearing from you.


Happy Crafting,
