It's time for the big reveal over at StampNation! Starting today, Catherine has added a new member to the fabulous and talented Design Team, and her name is....<insert drum roll>...
KRISTY, the creative genius behind the stamp company Some Odd Girl. Kristy will be doing exclusive coloring and Copics tutorials for the members of StampNation, and I can tell you the excitement there is built to fever pitch!
For
the next FIVE weeks, every Friday, Kristy will be adding a new lesson to
StampNation. After that, you will find a new lesson on the last Friday of
every month.
Now with an expert colorist in residence, StampNation
just keeps getting better and better.
The
topics of her first five lessons are:
1. Intro to the markers (types, nibs, etc)
2. Color system
3. Smooth Coloring
4. Blending, 3 Color Basic Blend
5. Shading Basics
2. Color system
3. Smooth Coloring
4. Blending, 3 Color Basic Blend
5. Shading Basics
From there, she will create her lessons based on member
feedback.
If
you haven’t joined us at StampNation yet, learn more about it here.
OK, on with the challenge and blog hop at hand.
First up we have the blog hop. The SN Design Team is doing
a blog hop to introduce and welcome Kristy to our team. Each of us have
used a Some Odd Girl stamp set on our project. Follow the links below to
see each of our projects...
Shea (you are here!)
Isn't she cute? I colored her with Copics with plenty of airbrushing and stamping in the background, some custom colored flowers and a sentiment cut from my Silhouette Cameo.
That sentiment consisted of separate letters and I learned how to WELD my letters together to make a one-piece word. It means I'll never have to pay the big bucks for a word die when I can just make my own out of any font I want! I do love my Cameo...
I did it again to the rest of the "happy birthday" sentiment on the inside, this time using a different font.
We’ve hidden TWO 1- month subscriptions to
StampNation along the hop…comment on the blogs in the hop
to enter to win. The more blogs you comment on, the higher your chance of
winning! The winners will be announced on Monday, March 31.
We are also using SOG stamps on our StampNation Challenge cards this
week. Here's mine. Yes, it was supposed to be a peek, but I got rather mixed up for some strange reason and can't remember which end is up and made the wrong card to be peeked at, so I'm sharing BOTH of my cards today. Some weeks are just like that.
Same image, entirely different treatment. This time I paper pieced the little cutie and colored the beak and legs with Copics. I've popped the little rain hat up for a bit of added dimension.
One lucky StampNation Member that participates in the challenge
this week will have her
choice of one Some Odd Girl stamp set, or 3 Digis. (You do not need to use SOG products to win, but if you have
them we would love to see them.) Winner will be announced on April 9th.
Happy hopping!
