Just Hangin' with the 'shrooooms...

I'm knocking out my list of uninked stampies one by one. It's been a slow go, but slow and steady wins the race, right?

So technically, this qualifies for the All That Scraps die cut challenge b/c I used a circle Nestie, but I think they actually want you to use like a more elaborate die. Funny thing is, I do have lots of groovy dies. But those shapes just didn't fit with Nora today.

So this is Ladybug Nora. Isn't she cute?? (Actually, aren't all my stampies cute??) Anyhoo, she doesn't actually come sitting on the mushroom; it's a separate stamp. So I did the magic masking thing, colored, and cut her out. The green hill was a freehand wavy cut with a pair of scissors (that's as elaborate as I can get freehand), and see the adorable little mushrooms? They are actually part of a different stamp, Birgitta Sitting on a Tree Stump. But I wanted some extra 'shrooms for the scenery, so borrowed them from Birgitta. They're friends, she won't mind. I promise. Unless they're frenemies. (Ref: Ninja Reads to get a clue).


Close up of glitter-fied wings. I also used Glossy Accents on the little 'shrooms, but I couldn't get a good angle of it to get a glossy shot. Ever since I got GA for my birthday from J, I've been using it on like every single card! Hehe, it's AWESOME. :)

Also, see her stockings? I used a Copic colorless blender to give her tights some subtle pattern. Ya dig?
