Splitcoast Dirty Dozen/September 2024

I had to wait six months after entering my cards in the Dirty Dozen group at Splitcoast.  September was my first month posting on Splitcoast so I finally get to share them.

This image is from a digi company that is no longer in business, Karen's Doodles.  The colors were chosen from a card using this image that I had completed fourteen years ago. The image is colored with Copics.  The shirt incorporates different colors than the original.I decided to frame the picture with straw.  What a mess that created.  I'm still finding little pieces of straw!


This is the female version of the above image from Karen's Doodles..  She is so cute!  I used the provided sketch as a background for this stamp.  I didn't change the colors although, I suppose I should have. I previously made a card called Birthday Rooster. The background was blue and white gingham. It incorporated many of the colors used on this card.

 

For this card I used one of my quilt dies.  I bought them used on Etsy so I don't know who the manufacturer was.  I have about six or seven of them.  I used a combo from the Splitcoast Color Combinations Challenge CC463.

I used  an image from Karen's Doodles, once again.   It os colored with Copic markers and I used pencils for shading. I designed a sign "Eat More Beef." My husband had absolutely no idea why the sign said that!  Geez.

 


I think I got this image for DT work, I don't remember where it came from exactly.  Anyways, I have used it a few times.  The image is colored with Copics.



I got this image on Etsy, I believe.  I could be wrong, though.  I have so many images it's hard to keep track of them.  This is colored with Copics.  I used a Spellbinder's die for the frame.


"Horse Head" by Whimsy Stamps

This image is by Whimsy Stamps.  I probably bought it about five years ago with a bunch of other Whimsy Stamps.  I have never used them.  I will be now.  I am trying to work two hours a day on my cards, traditional coloring and techniques that I have never tried before.  The picture looks somewhat grainy online.  The image on the card does not look grainy in real life, (I just looked at my camera.  A setting was accidentally changed.  That expalins it!)  I colored the image with Prismacolor, Polychromos and Luminance pencils.  I like using all my sets together.
