just for fun...

-

I am a happy girl today. I have spent quite a bit of time lately reorganizing my office. I have finally made the transition from Stampin' Up! business demo to hmmm not sure what the right word would be, artist (sounds kind of pretentious). I won't bore you with all the details today but be prepared because I will share some pictures next week.

In celebration of my clean office I just had to sit down and create something. I won this adorable Oliver as blog candy from the last Kraftin' Kimmie's blog hop. I just think he is the cutest so I inked him up and colored him with my Lyra colored pencils, blending with OMS and a blending stump. I added a touch of glitter to the snow around his feet and a touch of glaze to his beak and feet. This weeks Kraftin' Kimmie's challenge is "Lots a Circles" if you look carefully one of my designer papers in a polka dot and the back ground paper has snowflakes that are circles as well. I also added 2 jumbo brads, which are circles too, so I hope that qualifies as lots of circles. I also used todays SplitCoastStampers sketch challenge.
What I used:
Kraftin' Kimmie's Oliver
GP white, SU basic black card stock
My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow designer paper
Memento black stamp pad
Lyra colored pencils, OMS and blending stump
Spare Parts jumbo white brads
SU wide regal rose grosgrain ribbon
Sakura glitter and glaze pens
