Sneaky Taste
Hi!
Helen here today.
Hope you have had a great summer. We can now just relax and enjoy some colouring without feeling guilty for not spending the time outside in the sun.
I spent some time colouring this little guy, Sneaky taste by Nellie Snellen. I really don´t have any trouble with older stamps. I don´t need the latest released. If the image is cute and nicely drawn it really doesn´t matter. I colour images that talks to me, touch my heart.
I started by stamping my image on to some Perfect Colouring Paper and used Memento Ink pad.
It´s a clear stamp and it´s not the best quality, it´s little softer and if you press to hard it might end up as it did for me with some thicker lines as in his face but I thought that when I had coloured the whole image it wouldn´t show as much as in the beginning.
Ontop of the shadow I added a new layer: E11
And for the cheeks, belly botton, knees and elbows I used: R02
The cherry: R24 - R59
Icing: B00 - B000
Knickers: BG70 - BG72 - BG75
I feel that theese shades are fare from each other so I use tip to tip method when I colour with them.
Flower: R00 - R81 - R85
Hair: E40 - E42 - E43 - E44
And the most important, the shadows to groud the object:
W00 - W1 - W3 - W5
Look at the picture abowe and you´ll see how the objects just floats on the paper,
You don´t need to have a perfect shaped shadow, just the illusion will take you far!

Cupcakes
Helen here today.
A while ago I stumbled over some stamps on Facebook.
It was Whiff of Joy´s Henry Celebrating Mouse Stamp and now I´ve made some cards with the image.
As always, I stamped the image on Perfect Colouring Paper using Memento Ink Pad.
I wanted some shadow from the cupcake on his tummy and
shadow on the lower tummy makes the roundness.
I wanted the light to hit his knees, and darker areas between the legs, under the knees,
under his upper leg/arm, under the jaw and on the underside of the tail.
I wanted high contrast in the icing so it feels like the flame light up the icing.
And I added some yellow shades for the highlight areas.
A shadow beneath him will ground him.
Cheeks, ears, tail and nose: R0000 - R00 - R02 - Y000
Tummy: E40 - E41 - E43
Furr: T0 - T1 - T3
Cupcake: E31 - E37 - E35 - E33
Flame: R05 - YR14 - Y15 - B0000
Candle: BG11 - BG15
Icing: RV0000 - RV000 - R81 -R85 - Y000
Sprinkles: BV11 - BV13, Y15 - YR14
Shadow: W0 - W1 - W3
Hope I inspired you to make some birthday cards today.
Love
Helen
