Happy `Free For All' Friday. This week Robin has given us a Cuddly / Snugly challenge. I know my Unity Stamp image is more along the lines of cutie putootie, but little Charlotte looks very cuddly in her coat and Tweetie is snuggled into her hat...that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
The cards are smooth white cardstock and the gift tags are a heavy linen finish cardstock. The image and sentiment is stamped with Versafine ink then when completely dry, coloured with Distress Crayons.
I didn't want a full coloured effect so I just scribbled some Seedless Preserves (purple cards) and Peacock Feathers (Turquoise) on her jacket then using a dry finger I moved the colour a bit. Next step is to take a baby then very gently move some more of the colour in a gentle downward direction. Same was done with her hat except I wiped in a very small circular motion.
While the baby wipe was still wet and had the crayon residue on it, I placed a stencil over the card and `wiped' on the excess ink. I hope that makes sense, sometimes I don't even understand myself.
I am making a huge effort to use some of my 6"x 6" DP pads, unfortunately I have removed the covers from many of them (they are terrific for die-cuts and tag bases). About the best I can tell you is that these papers are NOT Graphic45 or BasicGrey, but I am leaning toward Prima and My Minds Eye.
I hope you have a happy, inky weekend and get some time to play along. The details for Robins fun challenge are here .

I love the concepts! My favourite is the green card and I like how you've used DSP - I've got way more sheets of 6x6 than I know what to do with and I think I might use these as inspiration - Thanks Susie!

Oh, she looks so cosy and snug and totally cute. And darn, no notification again. Way to go with using up paper, I did quite well with it last year give how little I tend to use. Love the colour-coordinated stencilling.

I have a Unity stamp in mind for my card as well. I don't have this cute one though. They seem to capture that snuggly, cuddly feeling with many of their great stamps. Love your whole collection you created, Susie!!

Simply adorable Susie! Love the results of your crayon technique which is amazing!!!! The DP & doodle framing for each image is lovely and appreciate how you snuggled them together in your photo.
