The My Favorite Things May 2022 release was a really great one! It might be that it’s coming into summer and everything beach reminds me of mermaids. Even though we celebrate fathers day in November here in Sweden I did pick up loads of the fathers day stamps and dies as I have so many ideas! If you want to see what I used these stamps for you can find it HERE and that link will be populated with any projects using the supplies also in the future.

Sketch challenge 593 from My Favorite Things is a fairly simple one that really would work perfectly for a scene. However I have been wanting to play with the SPECtacular stamp set. And while I was putting away the stamp pile on my desk from last weeks creations, I picked up the You’re My Sunshine and saw the cute cat with the glasses and realised it would work perfectly with the SPECtacular stamp set.
So instead of doing a scene I just used the glasses from SPECtacular stamp set and creating my own background with Lazy Day ink over Lazy Day and Smooth White card stock. Stamping the Be Cool sentiment from the SPECtacular stamp set on a Lazy Day card stock flag in Lazy Day Ink and adding some dimension with my white gel pen. And adding that to the left on the card, then adding the Copic colored cat on the right. And to finish it off I added some self-adhesive crystals sprinkled around the card.

Do you like me have loads of 6×6 pattern paper pads? These little origami boxes are super easy to make and takes one sheet of double sided pattern paper. They are super fun to make and I just couldn’t stop myself and have at least 10 of them laying on my table. As usual when making boxes I have a schema below that you can use together with the video tutorial. And if you want to see more box videos you can see all I have HERE.

It is May and that means Mermay, and I couldn’t not color a mermaid in may. This video is inspired by Stephen Kropf and his 30 day challenge that he is doing at the moment. He colored up an image by Annie Rodrigue, so I headed over to her etsy store and picked up a mermaid from her digital stamp section. I ended picking up loads of different mermaids from different etsy stores. You can find the mermaid I used HERE.
So I decided to make a realtime coloring video and do a little bit of chatting with you. I chat about what coloring means to me and why I rarely make coloring videos at the moment.
It’s Monday and I’m here with another entry for the My Favorite Things sketch challenge. This week it is sketch challenge 592. It is a great sketch, well balanced and easy to work with.
My process this week started with the Thank You sentiment die. I saw it laying on my craft table and I wondered if it could fit the sketch. So I cut it out to measure it on the card base and then it started to come together. This sketch has three bubbles, with the thank you sentiment being one I was wondering what to add as the other too. I remembered that I had a pile of colored images in the living room (I do most of my coloring at my sofa) with two little bees. So I picked up the pile and added the bees to the card. I felt it was a little bit to empty, so I added the tree behind the thank you sentiment, it was now coming together. The last part of the sketch is a rectangle that looks like it runs around the card with a opening on the left hand side. As the images was colored with pencils very softly, I wanted the background to be soft too. So I went with my favorite technique, smooching, and used distress inks for it, i did do a little bit of splatters just to break up the color a little bit.
Did you like this way of explaining my thought process through out making the card? Also if you want to see more of my sketch challenge entries, you can find them all HERE.

Working against a challenge is a great way to both inspire and challenge yourself. So I thought why not double up! So for todays card I both follow the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge 591 and ColorChallenge 188. The colors in the challange where, Princess Pink, Cotton Candy, Ripe Raspberry and SourApple and the sketch challenge looked like a landscape. So I decided to make a pink sunset where the fairies could dance around a beautiful tree. Hope you enjoy the card, if you wanna see more cards that I made that follow challenges you can find them HERE.
