Bugaboo New Release, Snowmen Family!

Hello, it's New Release day at Bugaboo Stamps, and Snowmen Family is one of the new releases! I coloured the image with copics and added stickles.

The card base is real red, with a layer of white embossed with a Snowflake embossing folder. I used a scrap piece of designer paper too pull the colours from, and it wasn;t quite long enough so I added a piece of bashful blue on the top made with a label punch.

Make sure to check out the Catch The Bug Blog for more samples using the new Snowmen Family!

And of course you can find the Bugaboo Stamps new releases here!

Saturday Challenge...Anything Goes!

 Hello, it's the first Saturday of the month...can you believe it's November already!!!...so this weeks challenge at Catch The Bug is Anything Goes! 

For my card today, I used My Little Sock Monkey-front from Bugaboo Stamps. I also used one of my favorite techniques to add the look of texture to the monkey, which you can see better in the photo below. First I coloured him with copics using E44, E43, E42 for the darker parts. E51 & E50 for the cream parts and R27 & R17 for the red. Then I got out my Linen background stamp and sprayed it with rubbing alcohol (I bought it in a spray bottle at the $ store), dab off the extra and stamp. If you try it, just remember to only colour in the parts you want the texture in, or the whole thing will be textured. 

I also used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch FMS211

Make sure to join in our challenge and upload your creation to the Catch The Bug Blog. You will also see more greats samples from our amazing Design Team!

For my card today, I used With Enough Coffee Owl from Bugaboo Stamps. I coloured the image with copics and added some crystal effects to the coffee.

The card base is chocolate chip. I embossed the crumb cake with my new Tim Holtz embossing folder 'On the go' (just love it) and I matted them with real red.
