I’ve been having fun with my new C.C. Designs stamps from All That Scraps.  I’ve always loved these little Bitzy Bugs.  I’m so happy to have them now!

I was in a store shopping for something else and happened upon this bright green twill.  I  had to have it (along with the bright orange and purple.  If there had been other bright colors, those too would have been in my basket).

I stamped the little bug, colored him with Copic markers and scribbled in a little border.  I used the “Booooo!” stamp for the background and the “Pumpkin Wishes” on the box is part of one of the sentiments in the Halloween set.  The pattern for the box came from the Stampin’ Up! website.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day! 🙂

Oh, gosh, I love this reindeer!  Her name is Cheer Deer and she is part of CC Designs new set, Reindeer Games available through All That Scraps.  (Also available individually here.)

This little gal is celebrating so I felt she should wear her fancy party skirt.  I pleated a small scrap of the dp, adhering the ribbon over the top.  (I couldn’t think of a “tactful” way to make a tiny top, so let’s just pretend that for reindeer parties, going topless is appropriate, ok?) Both ribbons are dyed using a Copic marker.  I love doing that! So easy!

I colored her using a water brush and SU reinkers.  I masked her then stamped the stars in the background, adding the red dots with a Stardust gelly roll pen.  They’re sparkly, but it doesn’t show in this pic.  I added the little “cherry” sticker and drew in the stem with a marker.  The focal image is raised on dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!!  Have a great day! 🙂  Tomorrow’s post…another Take Two with Trudee, Lindsey and Julia!
