Woot! Woot!

Today I am using September Girl for my projects.

And it was a perfect selection since I was born in September.

Here is my first project:

I started out stamping my Angie Girl in gray using Color box Mixed media Ink

I then started coloring my image.

Now I used mostly coloring pencils for my image since I am still learning about copics.

I decided to use So Core'dinations paper so I can sand it and distress it.

My background is Crate paper 6x6 Kiss Kiss

And I topped it off with a little Gold mesh ribbon

I stamped right on top of my paper the Let's Celebrate with pie sentiment.

I have really liked this new to me technique of stamp on pattern paper.

It sure has really looked neat every time I have done it.

For my 2nd Project I wanted to try something a little different.

Here is my card....

I stamped the image in white using Tsukineko archival ink.

The first time I started to color the image didn't turn out so well because it is really hard to see the lines.

But I stamped it again to re-try it and I think it came out pretty well.

I used water color pencils for around the image so it didn't fall into the background too much.

I used Core'dinations paper again and sanded it to bring out the white.  

I then went back over it with white and black Gelato's to darken the paper some.

I switched up and used the Give thanks Sentiment this time,

added some ribbon from my stash as well as separated the image with Darice Hemp cord

and added a flower from Prima to top it off.

I hope I have inspired you today with my projects.

But the fun doesn't stop here.  There are 8 more ladies to visit on this Hop.
