Little Campers

Hello!   It is HOT HOT HOT where I am, and warm colors are on my mind.

This darling little bunny and horse sleeping by a campfire fits perfect with the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge theme this week, so I entered into that challenge.

After printing the digital image Campfire Pals, on Canson 90 lb. watercolor paper, I watercolored it with Tombow markers and a watebrush.

I used stickles on the stars and moon, and a white paint pen for dots on the blankets.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit!  Hope you enjoy your day!

Monthly Blog Hop

It's the CDS BLOG HOP for July!!!   Lots of fun and prizes to be had!
The project theme for the DT this month was SUMMER.

If you stumbled on my blog in the middle, you'll want to start on LORI'S BLOG for the Blog Hop.
If you are following along already, you should have come from TRUDY'S blog.
After my blog, you will need to visit SARAH'S blog.

I was having a hard time choosing which set I was going to use, but finally settled on Porch Conversations.  I love how easy it is to create any season with this stamp, just change the colors!  I used a paint pen to make dots on the cushion.

Here is what I made using the cute pre-colored Gigi Giraffe Digital set.  She is also available as a clear stamp here!   I know I used this image on the last challenge too, but she is just too cute and I needed a thank you card for my child's birthday attendee.

I have 3 sets to show you today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This first card is using the spider jar image from Jargon Mix Digital image set.  For that set, we took some different images from the clear stamp sets Everyday Jargon and Jargon Additions , and combined them with some new illustrations to make this digital set.  There is even color images with digital papers.
This card is using a matching digital paper, and I used the pre-color image.

This cutie started as a clear stamp, Patchpal Lamb, and is drawn by Shawne Arnold when she was illustrator for Clear Dollar Stamps.
Even though pre-color images come with this set, I wanted to color this lamby.  I did use the matching digital papers in the set though.
