Wheeee! Do you like new and happy things?? Well today I have a video for you AND some good news! First…the video……I used Doodle Bug’s “Oh Boy” stamp set with my Copics to create a scene with two vignettes within it. It’s a great way to handle a stamp set that has items in it that aren’t in proportion to each other for one scene – make part look close and part look far away!

Here are the marker colors used….
This is a fun stamp set to color, especially for newbies. As a matter of fact it’s a perfect set to use in Copic Jumpstart class – lots of the kinds of shapes we learn to color!
And now the news!
For those who’ve been missing my Wednesday videos….Ellen’s asked me to do a monthly coloring video over on her YT channel. So yay for more coloring right? Pop on over there and enjoy another Doodle Bug set – with a girl and her truck!
Sometimes a Copic nib is just too fat and clunky for teeny tiny stamps. Especially with no-line coloring. There’s nothing wrong with going to a tool we all have in our stash: a regular old graphite pencil!

Simple colorways…..even shading the colors with grays!
The sharp pencil really does serve to add back in much of the detail that was lost early in the coloring!
I still love that when we put effort in our coloring, cards can stay nice and simple – I save a fortune on embellishments!
The Darling Lily stamp by Altenew is so pretty, and so ready for Easter – and yet has no Easter sentiments. But it makes for a lovely thank you card or any theme throughout the year – pretty flowers are always in season.

Just a few colors to use on this pretty lily….
I kept the deisng super simple – just a layer of white paper, and a Desert Storm card base to match the coloring panel.
I love how white pencil shows up, yet remains soft!
The Bible journaling page was created first by making a cross from 2 strips of washi tape; I stamped the flowers and leaves on the right half with the tape in place. I removed it, then stamped the upper left flower while masking off the horizontal bar only with a sticky note. The rest were stamped on top, though I wished after that I had masked the tail end of the stem of the flower!
The demo of the text was created in one of my books – the workbook, printed on Bible paper. It’s a great place to practice art and techniques before putting them in your Bible. Or, like me, a way to go backward and teach something I did in my Bible, but since that page is taken – I can still create it on Bible paper in the workbook!

It’s been a while since I’ve covered the Human Rainbow…and thought the new release from Art Impressions would be the perfect time!
Bonnie Krebs, owner and designer, is one hilarious lady. Just look at the sentiments on her stamp sets!! I picked out five of the stamps to show you today from the new release, and did a quickie coloring on video of parts of them, but mostly the purpose in today’s post is to get folks back to experimenting with their colors to create a human rainbow of skintones!

The Cowgirls are such fun– three ladies having a hoedown all their own! I added a crowd to enjoy their performance.
The Yoga Set cracked. me. up! Exercising and eating cake TOGETHER? Heck yes, sign me up for that gym!
The Housework set is very much like my style of housekeeping. Little to none! Having pups around always mucking things up isn’t much incentive…lol!
Last but not least Loads of Fun makes me think I might need a new ironing board, so as an old lady I can also go surfing!
Those free Human Rainbow charts!
I’ve moved the free charts over to Art-Classes! I also added to it and called it the Rainbow Chart Collection – but the main chart is still the same as the one you may have gotten over here.
If you hadn’t noticed I’ve been slowly moving stuff over there – because this blog is going to be overhauled in coming months, and I want everything to still be available for ya! (Note that any charts or digis you bought on this site are only accessible here, I am not able to move everything over.)
The Art Impressions Basket of Blessings set has some really pretty rabbits to color for Easter cards. Lots of ways to color them – but I chose vintage. Using watercolor pencils on drawing paper!

I’ll be in a five-day watercolor workshop all week…if you need me for anything, I’ll be slow at responding.
thanks for understanding!
Here are the Albrecht Durer pencil colors I used….
The bunny in front is darker than the one behind to create depth.
And that ribbon? Not thick! There’s no knot in the larger yellow ribbon….
…it just has some tiny twine holding it in place. With a little adhesive to assure the yellow ribbon doesn’t come undone.
Finally! I’ve been working on these Rainy Days classes for so long now – I think I have webbed toes by now!
These new classes are on sale for one week. Just so ya know. No coupon needed. Here’s a preview of the three versions of class…see more info below.
I’ve made the techniques in each of classes different from each other – some are repeated, like doing raindrops on a window in each medium, because the technique warranted it. But I kept all three as different as possible so that the students who love all the mediums (like I do!) won’t get bored if they eventually take all three. (Yes, I get bored doing the same thing!) You can certainly try a technique in a different medium after seeing how it’s done in the class!
There’s also an Ellen Hutsoninstagram hop going on right now since it’s National Craft Month – be sure to hop along and follow the instructions in my post, coz you’re gonna want to enter to win! VISIT MY INSTAGRAM
