Last year I picked up a couple of stamp sets from Craft Consortium called Snome Time. I don't remember where I saw them, but I loved the little gnome (Snome) and the woodland animals and figured that there would be a Jingle Belle challenge that I probably could use these for...... and I was right. Not a Creature Was Stirring is this fortnight's muse.
I stamped the images in fade away ink so I could do some no-line coloring with my Prismacolor pencils. I stamped two of each image and spent several evenings multi-tasking coloring and tv watching, er, listening. I pretty much followed the color scheme suggested by the printed package. In the course of events, though I do like the colors that I was working with, I think that a trip to or order from Blick will be needed in the near future to widen my choice of browns. Then again, I could add them to my Christmas list............Oh Santa!!!!
Amazing cards!
ReplyDeleteYour fine detail colouring always amazes me - no exception here. And exceptional fussy-cutting, too.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet little holiday scene ... so very glad you joined us for our Creature Feature at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteholy WOW, i did not realize these weren't vintage illustrations until i read the text. your no-lines coloring is AMAZING... can we have a coloring play date in January so i can try to learn??!?! of course the Snome family could not be more adorable; and you've chosen just the right accessories and papers; but honestly... it's the images that are rocking my world! so pleased you could join our celebration of christmas critters at JINGLE BELLES!
