The Human Rainbow is my little initiative here on the interwebs to get a little diversity out there into crafty land. Today’s card celebrates the variety of kiddos – in a school!
It doesn’t have to be hard to set a “scene” – a simple brown frame filled with green makes an easy chalkboard!

The project I did today is an underwater scene using Otterly Awesome stamps and Otter Ware – a coral reef filled with playful otters! I got out my watercolors for this, of course….

Happy February, friends! I’m over at MFT with another bit of coloring, reposted here. I hope you’re enjoying the series as much as I am! This month I went back to my Copics…I’ve been wanting to make a floral garden, and this little Pure Innocence girl looked like the perfect stamp to try it out.

In the video I’ll show you some tips for “fixing” blotchy skin, too…Watch the video below or click HERE to watch on YT to see how I made that pretty flower garden!
When I color people, I often add a few stray hairs here and there to add just a little character to them. When using a middle brown for this little girl, it almost looks like shadows on her face, right? Cool accident! 🙂
The background is just so fun and forgiving! It takes a while to add enough color to it – and be sure to use enough. If your colors are too light, the colorless blender won’t achieve very much.
Below are links to the supplies I’ve used for today’s project. Compensated affiliate links may used, which means if you make a purchase I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I truly appreciate your support toward the costs of running this blog! Read more.
Who doesn’t love a beautiful rose? While I’m not sure how they make these – I have seen a bouquet of them in real life. AND lots on the internet (just Google it! Beautiful!)

When we’re in control of the markers we choose to color with, well….we can make our roses look like anything we want, right? How about a rainbow!

Adding dimensionall adhesive to pop an extra layer added nice dimension to the card without being over the top.

It’s a stamp from Stamp Anniething – they sent me a few stamps earlier this year, and this little gal os so sweet and ready for Christmas, don’t you think?
Depending on colors used in the sky, you could make them really intense and a deep night sky – it’s a great technique for an aurora borealis! :0) Plus – I’m adding this one to #thehumanrainbow playlist with all the adaptations I did to her hair 🙂

I saw this stamp set in an LSS while I was traveling this summer – and immediately I wanted to take on the challenge of coloring a blizzard so it looked like it was blowing like mad outside. Thus, I bring you the results here today!

The snow is definitely a good bit of work – and requires having enough color underneath for it to show up – but it’s so worthwhile!
Here are two alternate ideas for creating blizzards….first one using Hero Arts’ Jingle Bells.
And another with Cool Day by MFT. For this one instead of focusing on the white pen dots, I used pale colors and a colorless blender in the sky.
