Aaron's art

edited: OOPS I posted the wrong owl. changed it now

I thought it would be fun to show you Aaron's artwork. You will notice an erased part by the tall dino. That is an image that didn't make it, but we are going to maybe make it into a digi image.

This....became this.... and this....

became this....

Release Day

You can now see Aaron's stamps at TreeHouse Stamps. If you buy any of them, please leave a link or e-mail me when you make something with them as we would love to see it. Aaron made this card for his stint as PaperTemptress junior design team member. He used Gumdrop Green (darker) and Sour Apple paper. I love how he colored this dino. He said this is how he pictured it in color when he was drawing it.


Aaron and Benjamin both groaned and protested when they saw me coloring this dino pink. Ü Aaron has named this dino "Philip" and I told him that Philip needed a girlfriend, so I would like to introduce you to "Priscilla". heehee I used Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge #224 (and Aaron did as well). I added Crystal Effects to her "toenails", drew her some eyelashes and added white dots to her eyes.

Here is my version of "Phillip". I used SCS sketch challenge #234. I drew the "grass" freehand. I would have colored it green, but I only have the two green Copics that I used for the dino and I didn't want it to be the same color, so Aaron said to color the grass brown.



PS: Aaron does not get anything for these stamps if you buy them, so family and friends don't feel like you HAVE to buy them.

Now off to color the mushroom. Ü

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of the owl that Aaron drew and I entered in a TreeHouse Stamps contest last fall. Ashley (from THS) named her Ms. Hoot. Isn't she the cutest, quirkiest owl ever? Ü

TreeHouse Stamps is having their reveal tonite and the new stamp sets will be available tomorrow. He also has a dinosaur set that won a contest a few weeks ago that will be available.

I used Black Licorice and Watermelon cardstock from The PaperTemptress.

I stamped the Watermelon paper with SU!'s canvas stamp using Pink Passion ink. It matches perfectly. I added a couple of brads (also by SU!) to the punched sentiment.

"Owl" Be Your Friend

Isn't this owl by TreeHouse Stampsowl-dorable? Her name is Olivia (love that name!). I won this set back in December. I have inked up several owls, but just haven't gotten them onto cards til now.

The branch is cut with a Cricut cartridge (will have to come back later to tell you which one). I played with my copics again and am loving how rich they make the images look.

My friend Michelle and I swap several times a month. This week's theme is to make an owl card. I had a blast making this. I need to make tall cards more often.
