Hello, friends!<div>It's been awhile! Just wanted to give you a quick update on some changes here and a couple of new designs in my Etsy store. </div><div><br /></div><div>First of all, BIG changes in my personal life! I got married and moved over 100 miles away to be closer to my mom and dad. It has long been a dream of mine to live on a small farm like the one I grew up on and we found a fixer upper on a couple of acres in the country. Making the house livable again has been a lot of hard work but it's coming along nicely! It is finally starting to feel like a home and not a construction zone! </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrRQWFTLao3Li4jTJuGl6y-nrEEvMCyWbRB1cFB7ufFvtbof-7my-5SYrTp256tw32n1b5xXNnLtmC6u5_OV0l87ZOjDuprGvbUI9x0Dt__NOAeShsTIMMr1xH6UphZabxjCagUxVA19A/s2048/0407211708+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrRQWFTLao3Li4jTJuGl6y-nrEEvMCyWbRB1cFB7ufFvtbof-7my-5SYrTp256tw32n1b5xXNnLtmC6u5_OV0l87ZOjDuprGvbUI9x0Dt__NOAeShsTIMMr1xH6UphZabxjCagUxVA19A/w400-h266/0407211708+%25282%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our next fixer upper project- this cute little barn!<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div>On the business side of things, I've been making changes as well.

I love the fact that people can personalize the products I have designed and use my designs to decorate whatever product they choose. My store is a work in progress (as is everything in my life, it seems!) but I hope to have all my art on there soon in one form or another so I can turn my attention to making new art!</div><div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/store/winkwinkink?rf=238858487048769773" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="324" data-original-width="324" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzG5dPFqvOfH_TgaSFcb6ywuNtzhUqKeSMv2JbKrlPxQHbfSahXjroOaQfdJVDs2rE7R436pySHNwHe5qCm7clKOSFNExjWUtih0grYW8Id1slzPEZjqkA5-1u8YUR4ZfT_WMVjdec34/s320/Category+Rubber+Stamps.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.com/store/winkwinkink?rf=238858487048769773" target="_blank">I now have the full line of Wink Wink Ink designs on rubber stamps in my Zazzle store!</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div><div>I'm happy to say that this new venture is not a replacement for my digital stamping business, as I intend to use my designs in both stores.

Because this is such a detailed image, I blew up the picture for you so you can see how detailed this stamp really is. Even if you are not familiar with pixels or resolution or any of that good stuff, you can see from the picture below that my images can be enlarged quite a bit and still look great! For those who are concerned with such things, all of my images are roughly 1800 pixels high and/or wide. Being able to enlarge your image so much makes them extra versatile for all kinds of crafting!</div>

Hello, Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a quick post to let you all know I added a new stamp set to my store. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/664924096/digital-stamp-fishy-cute-trout-minnow?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">"Fishy"</a> is a very versatile set with 3 colored options, a fish hook with worm and a trout fly. All 3 images are separate files so you can use them alone or in combination.</div>

Here are a few ideas for using this set. As a side note, I love seeing what people make with my stamps so don't be shy and "drop me a line" with a picture of your project!<br />

Hi, everybody! </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, I have a terrible case of Spring Fever this year. My son got me a new camera for Christmas and I have just been itching to get outdoors and take pictures. My car is not exactly something you want to take out into the wild in the middle of winter so my photography expeditions have consisted of walks around my new backyard taking pictures of dead weeds and berries until my fingers are so cold they feel like they are going to fall off! So I have been doing a lot of dreaming about warmer weather lately. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have my parents to thank for so many great memories of camping and doing things in the woods as a kid. I was lucky enough to grow up out in the country, surrounded by fields and woods and all kinds of nature. So even in the dead of winter I have those memories to draw on and take my mind off of the fact that, as I write this, the snow is blowing sideways outside my window. And that's how this little chipmunk came into being. Whether I saw him in the wood pile or at a campsite, he always makes me think of warm weather and happy times. And today you can find him <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/676629725/digital-stamp-chipmunk-woodland-animal?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">HERE</a> poking his head out in my Etsy store!</div>

</h3>
Hello, friends! As you may have noticed, I have been MIA for awhile.<br />
<br />
I took an impromptu hiatus to be daycare provider for my 3 grandbabies for awhile. I had lots of good intentions to keep doing art and posting on this blog. "Oh, I can just do it while they sleep." I said. Yes, I am ridiculously optimistic. As it turns out, 2 year old twins and a 5 year old are really, really EXHAUSTING! The only one wanting a nap was Grandma! Even though it was hard sometimes, we made a lot of good memories and I'm lucky to have been able to spend that time with them. I miss the cuddles every day!<br />
<br />
The house we were living in also sold last Fall after 5 years on the market so I have been moving and getting settled in a new place. I'm still not unpacked, mostly because all of my stuff is stored in the garage and I nearly froze to death just looking for the Christmas decorations last month! (This is MONTANA, after all!) However, I've got my computer set up and I am able to get back to doing some artwork again!<br />
<br />
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
What's new!</h3>
<div>
I've been taking some online art and design courses on <a href="https://skl.sh/1JxXfQh" target="_blank">Skillshare</a> and I am in the middle of doing a complete overhaul on my store. I realized my photos were getting cut off on certain devices so it was time for an update. Gotta love technology and change! Anyway, I am still in the process of updating all of my listings so please excuse the mess!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am also adding some cards and other project ideas for each image to my listings. I hope they will give you some inspiration for using my images in new ways you may not have thought of before. I know most people who buy my images use them to make cards but they are also great for printing your own stickers, iron-ons for clothing, and shrink plastic, making your own framed prints, or printing out for bored grandkids to color!<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
New Images!</h3>
<div>

<div>
I am very excited to announce my newest set of images,<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/659390200/digital-stamp-sweet-peas-baby-twins?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank"> "Sweet Peas"</a>! Having twin grandbabies has made me realize that there is not a lot in the way of images for twins.<br />

I had so much fun making this image that I made single and triplet Sweet Peas too! And the colored versions include dark skinned and light skinned babies. If you need an image for baby cards, I think this set is going to give you a lot of bang for your buck!

</div>
<div>
My daughter informed me some time ago that I NEED a narwhal image in my store and I made this for her. There is a sea of other narwhals to choose from out there (pun intended!) and he has such an original name, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/674072663/digital-stamp-narwhal-cute-little-whale?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">"Narwhal"</a>, but I hope this little guy has that special something that somebody is looking for so he doesn't get lost in the crowd, or pod. A crowd of whales is a pod. LOL Anyway, I had so much fun making him, I'm not sure why I haven't done more sea life. I might have to change that!<br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
JPGs Now Included!</h4>
I've had numerous requests from customers for JPG files and I have been converting them on an individual basis for those who wanted them for a couple of years now. I finally decided to just convert everything to JPG and add them to the download you get when you purchase an image. So now each image includes both JPG and PNG files! (The description may not say they are in there yet but I just finished updating all the files and they ARE in there!)<br />
<br />
Finally, I just want to thank all my customers, old and new, who continue to support me even though my little art hobby takes a backseat to "life" more often than not. All of you who send me kind emails and check up on me totally make my day! Thank you! I'm looking forward to a great 2019 with you all!<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/508490698/digital-stamp-free-spirit-horse-with?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">New Stamp</a></h3>
Just a quick post today to let you know that there is a new stamp in the store. I've been taking some "me time" lately to deal with some health issues, in addition to being a busy mom and grandma. In my last post I talked about doing some art classes online and right now I'm learning how to draw horses. Anyway, I haven't been producing a lot of images that I deemed "stamp worthy" but I liked how my little "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/508490698/digital-stamp-free-spirit-horse-with?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Free Spirit</a>" doodle turned out so I made her into a digi stamp.<br />

I would also like to remind you of the 20% off coupon code ( LUVYA2017 ) that is good through Valentine's Day. This is a great time of year to stock up and get a head start on all the cards and gifts you will need in the coming year!</div>

What I've been doing</h3>
<div>
I have finally gotten my craft room mostly unpacked and I have a card for you today! I printed my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262456163/digital-stamp-our-nest-is-best-love?ref=shop_home_active_30" target="_blank"><b>Our Nest is Best</b></a> image on craft cardstock and colored it with colored pencils. If you enjoy using colored pencils, I would encourage you to experiment with other colors of paper. It's really fun! Plus, you get to use the white pencil for a change! The background was embossed with a basket weave pattern and inked. I also did a hand written sentiment, which I have never tried before and I kind of like it. It makes it seem a lot more personal. I might do this more often, especially since I often mess up the one I printed out. LOL</div>

The other thing I wanted to share with you today is a fantastic website I discovered! I don't really do New Year's resolutions but January is a month that I often take stock of what's working for me and what isn't. This year I realized that, creatively speaking, I have been running on empty. As much as I enjoy making digital stamps, doing one thing, one way, all the time, is a really good way to suck the joy right out of the thing that I love! </div>
<br />
So I was flipping through YouTube looking for something to get me out of my rut and I came across a channel called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AaronBlaiseArt" target="_blank"><b>The Art of Aaron Blaise</b></a>. I watched a few videos and his teaching style and obvious interest in his subject matter just really clicked with me! I don't have all the super cool equipment he uses and my version of Photoshop is older than dirt but after just a few videos I had learned so much. So I pulled out my <a href="http://amzn.to/2l0Fpvm" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1</a> and started playing around in my favorite Android app, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nattou.layerpainthd" target="_blank">LayerPaint HD</a>. I wanted to see if I could recreate some of the same techniques that I learned in the videos. My results are below. <br />

I wish I would have drawn something a little more realistic instead of just grabbing the first drawing I had handy but I was anxious to start painting. Even though I could probably point out a dozen things I did wrong, I felt like I had improved more in a day than I have in years. I was pretty excited and can't wait to see what I can do when I put a little more thought into the final product.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I went to <b><a href="http://creatureartteacher.com/">creatureartteacher.com</a> , </b>which is Aaron Blaise's website, and got a paid subscription that gives me access to everything on the website. (Thanks to Christmas money from Mom and Dad!) You can also buy courses individually. He works in traditional media as well as digital, so much of the information is applicable to whatever kind of artwork you are doing. I've jumped around like a kid in a candy store and sampled just about every course on the site and it is all 100% fantastic.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the record, I don't receive any compensation for recommending this so highly. I'm just really excited about it and I know I have some very talented subscribers who love to draw and/or color with digital media. So check it out! That's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AaronBlaiseArt" target="_blank"><b>The Art of Aaron Blaise</b></a> on YouTube and the website for the more in depth lessons (and other cool stuff) is <a href="http://creatureartteacher.com/"><b>creatureartteacher.com</b></a>. Enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lest you think I am giving up on digital stamps, I'm not. I will be devoting a lot more time to learning some new things but you can bet the best of my doodles will end up here and in my store. I think challenging myself a little more is going to make things better all around!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for reading and have a great day!</div>

I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are having a great start to 2017! T'was the season for repeated colds and flu at my house over the holidays. Even so, we had a very nice Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thankfully, everyone finally seems to be well now! I took some time off to regroup, deal with some health issues, and spend time with my grandbabies. We also showed the house a couple of times and are hoping something comes of that. I would LOVE to finally be settled somewhere more permanently. Hopefully, 2017 will be the year that finally happens!<br />

From now until Valentine's Day I have a 20% off coupon code for my Etsy shop. The code is LUVYA2017 and it's good from today thru February 14, 2017. I've also lowered the price on all of my $4.00 stamps to $3.50 this month. With the coupon, that makes almost every stamp in my store just $2.80! Many of those stamps even include extra color images and/or silhouette images as well! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a note about coupon- you MUST apply the coupon code by using the box designated for the code at time of purchase. There is no way for me to refund just a percentage of your order if you put the code in the notes to seller. Those very pale blue letters can be a little difficult to see so I made this screen shot to help you find where to put the coupon code. </div>

You may have noticed my blog has been a bit neglected as of late. I have been moving again. Last March we moved completely out of the house we were living in because we thought it was sold, only to have the sale fall through on closing day. So we have been staying at my parents' place for awhile in hopes that the house would sell better as "move in ready".<br />
<br />
It still hasn't sold and Montana is a little bit too chilly to be hanging out in a camping trailer this time of year so here we are back again in our old house. All of our things are finally out of storage and I am still getting unpacked and organized.<br />
<br />
The good news is I finally get to unpack my craft room again! I have been making my self wait to do that until the rest of the house is done because once I start crafting, I know I won't get anything else done!<br />
<br />
All that to say this- I have NOT forgotten about you all and I even have a little treat just for the wonderful people who follow my blog! Here's a hint...<br />
<div>

Can you guess what it is? <br />

<strike>For a <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">limited time</span></b> only, I will have the files for Wink Wink Ink's very own Porcupine available for you to download for free as a thank you just for reading my blog. Grab him <b>HERE</b> while you still can.

I'm back to write a quick blog post for my mom, since she's in the process of moving again and her computer has decided that this would be the perfect time to be difficult. However she was able to upload some new images to the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WinkWinkInk?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">store</a>, perfect for the upcoming Winter season!<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">I'm gonna start with my personal favorite. Art imitates life and my mom's images are no exception! </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;">The coolest thing about being the child of an artist is sometimes being the inspiration behind their creations. </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/464863660/digital-stamp-snow-friend-children?ref=shop_home_active_2" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Snow Friend</a><span style="background-color: white;"> definitely brings back happy childhood memories of playing with the snow with my brother!</span></span></span><br />

Hello, friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am back in Blog Land after a couple of weeks off. I very spontaneously decided to take my 4 year old granddaughter home with me last time I visited my daughter. I had been promising my granddaughter a sleepover as soon as I got settled in another house but that's taking longer than expected. So I decided to take advantage of the last bit of warm weather while there is plenty to do outside. Blog posts can wait. Grandbabies don't stay 4 forever! So I hope you will forgive me for slacking off a little bit!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We hung out in the hammock, picked veggies in the garden, played in the hose (one of us on purpose, the other not so much!), went to the county fair, took a walk down by the river, checked out the thrift stores, got ice cream (a lot), colored pictures, played with dolls and Play-Doh and visited every park in town. To be honest, this grandma is tired out but we had such a great time and made a lot of happy memories! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The not so great part- I also caught the tummy bug she got on the last few days she was here so I'm not feeling so well today. I do have a couple of cards for you that I've been saving for a rainy day though!</div>

Today I'm taking a break from seasonal cards and letting my inner geek out to play! I have always been fascinated with space and space travel. Maybe it was because I was born the same year they put a man on the moon. When I was little I remember sitting in a box with my stuffed animals and pretending we were going up to the stars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I discovered the original Star Trek. I watched it at my grandma's house next door because, although the show was in color, our TV was not. I don't think she ever quite understood my fascination with that strange guy with the pointy ears. Ever since then I have loved my sci fi!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/264707031/digital-stamp-little-green-man-cute?ref=shop_home_active_43" target="_blank">Little Green Man</a> and the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/264815110/digital-stamp-flying-saucer-alien-ufo?ref=shop_home_active_42" target="_blank">Flying Saucer</a> stamps I am using today are a couple of my personal favorites but have not been very popular in my store. I can think of three possible reasons for this. 1.They stink. 2. Crafters don't like sci fi, 3. Or MAYBE you just need some ideas. I'm going with #3 unless you all tell me otherwise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have had an idea for using a galaxy background with my Flying Saucer stamp for awhile now. I attempted to make one in Photoshop but it looked like space vomit. So I googled "free galaxy images" and found <a href="http://hubblesite.org/" target="_blank">HubbleSite</a>. Next thing I knew I had spent an hour clicking on real pictures from space. Beautiful, magical pictures of stars and gas clouds and black holes and other things that I can't see from down here on Earth. And these gorgeous, high resolution photos are all available to download and print for FREE! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I doubt they had digital stamping in mind when they made their images available to the public but they make gorgeous digital background papers! Just by moving one picture around behind your image you can have so many different possibilities. You can flip them, squish them and stretch them and they never look warped or out of proportion. I literally spent hours playing before I came up with the cards I have for you today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Cards!</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The colors on this one are just crazy gorgeous! It's like a tie dye sky sprinkled with stars. I didn't even want to cover it up. But I love how this turned out. That little flying saucer just pops against that background! </div>

If you are a Stargate SG-1 fan, you will know why the Norse font works perfectly for this! (I loved Thor!) I actually lightened this background photo up a lot to bring out the pastel shades. It started out as a dark mix of purples and reds but as I lightened it up other colors started appearing. So pretty!<br />

This one ended up with a little bit of a Trekkie vibe with the Final Frontier font and "Red Shirt Red" mat even though I don't remember any cute, friendly, little green men like this on Star Trek. (I'm sure they just hadn't been discovered yet.) <br />

This one isn't exactly in keeping with my sci fi theme but I liked how it turned out. Little me may have passed by this while flying around in my box full of stuffed animals! It looks so dreamy and soothing and twinkly. This is actually one of my most popular images so I was happy I could find a new way to use it that hadn't been done before!</div>

Freebie!</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm so excited about the <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4Ta5t9svMTjOERMeWNsWjFSdHM" target="_blank">new free stamps</a> I have for you today! Granted, a pile of leaves might not look like the most exciting stamp by itself. However, when you plop a cute critter into the middle of it, you transform it into something brand new! All those images you may never have associated with Fall suddenly have a whole new purpose! </div>

I love Fall so much. It's my favorite time of the year. Right now I'm hard at work behind the scenes doing Christmas themed stamps and all I really want to do is keep making Fall cards. There were so many other adorable combinations I could have made into cards for this post but I narrowed it down to these 4.</div>

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/455668078/digital-stamp-pumpkin-person-fall-digi?ref=shop_home_active_12" target="_blank">Pumpkin Person</a> is already a Fall themed stamp but he/she looks absolutely fabulous in a pile of leaves! And the lettering on the banner is just one of 5 different words included with the stamp in my store! </div>

This scene uses the leaf pile and multiple copies of the small bunch of leaves to build him a great hiding spot. </div>

Hint: Flip the leaf bunches around and turn them at different angles to make them blend together better!</div>

Most of my kitty stamps work great with this leaf pile but <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262578496/digital-stamp-sourpuss-grumpy-cat-and?ref=shop_home_active_34" target="_blank">Sour Puss</a> hasn't gotten out much lately so I decided to put him on a card. I used a leaf pile and a couple of leaf bunches to frame his face. I like the way the colors of the leaves really bring out his eyes and make them the focal point of the card. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello, everybody!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just a quick reminder that you have until 8/10/16 (tomorrow!) to comment on my Fall Images post <a href="http://www.winkwinkink.com/2016/08/new-stamps-for-fall-win-your-favorite.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to win your favorite Fall stamp! So far there are only 3 comments so the odds are pretty good! Just tell me which new Fall image is your favorite and I'll choose a random winner to be announced Friday! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First up I have a card made with my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/469150539/digital-stamp-tom-turkey-thanksgiving?ref=shop_home_active_10" target="_blank">Tom Turkey</a> stamp. This stamp comes with 2 bonus colored images in brown and white at no extra charge! The brown one reminds me of my dad's baby turkey that used to hop up and sit on his knee. It wasn't so cute when he got to be about 40 lbs though! Good times! ha ha</div>

When my brother and I were kids we spent many a Fall day out under the big tree in our yard playing with <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/455665050/digital-stamp-woolly-bear-orange-and?ref=shop_home_active_7" target="_blank">Woolly Bear</a> caterpillars. When I was little I thought God must have dressed them in black and orange because they come out so close to Halloween. They are a cold weather caterpillar (They actually freeze solid in the winter!) so a lot of people probably haven't heard of them. If you are a nature geek like me you might enjoy watching this little <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca-XZdSAxzo" target="_blank">VIDEO</a>! This stamp could easily be colored any way you like though, especially if you use the light line image. </div>

However, my take on it is a lot more smiley and doesn't look like he wants to eat your head. The stamp includes 5 different word stamps that fit onto the banner. </div>

I have 3 more cards for you today, made with the Fall images I put in my store this past week. First up is a card made with the Bootiful image. As a child I remember watching Casper the Friendly Ghost and I even had the costume one year, which I was very proud of. I guess this is loosely based on my memories of that. What could be more friendly than a nice bouquet of sunflowers?<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Fangtastic is based on my 4 year old granddaughter. She's a such a little character! She loves dress up. She loves kitties (if they will let her near them.) and she definitely loves candy! All of my kids and every little kid I have ever known sees candy corn and turns them into fangs, even cute little princesses! </span></div>

I have been really trying to keep things simple because I am not really very good at that. I can't tell you how many projects I have ruined because I thought I needed to add just one more thing! So I'm kind of proud of this card. I did it! No flowers. No buttons. No stitching. Just simple.</div>

</div>
On August 1 I put 9 new images in my store for Fall. I've been busy designing cards for all of them. Here is the first batch! All cards were created digitally in <a href="http://amzn.to/2exp0Nr" target="_blank">Craft Artist Pro 2 software</a>. I'm still no closer to being able to unpack my craft mess but this has been such a wonderful alternative to get all my ideas out of my head and onto my blog! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=winkwinkink-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00ELPFLWW&asins=B00ELPFLWW&linkId=eab198999508ef0e400a6950d3600549&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I really like how this card turned out. Mixing patterns like this is kind of new territory for me but I like the effect. I also love the quote. It reminded me of all the garage sale hunts to find all the volumes of Anne of Green Gables when Ruby was just a little girl. Good times! <br />

This is a stamp I have had in my head for quite awhile and it's the kind of image I enjoy making the most. It reminds me a lot of the cute animals that used to decorate the greeting cards and knick knacks they sold when I was a child in the 70s and 80s. This would be a perfect card to give out around Thanksgiving and let someone know how very blessed you are to have them in your life.<br />

Hello, everybody!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, I can't believe we are already 2 months into summer already. I noticed this week that the stores are putting out their school supplies. I'm not sure why but that always triggers waves of nostalgia for me like nothing else does. Being the introvert that I am, I can't say I really liked school. Actually, I dreaded it about 95% of the time. However, I loved all the brand new books and school supplies and even school work!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a very vivid memory of being 6 years old, tummy full of butterflies, standing out at the bus stop, the smell of Fall leaves and wood smoke in the air. I feel very awkward. There are older kids waiting too, talking about me like I'm not there. I want to hide under a rock. So I do the next best thing and stick my face in my book bag, pretending to look very intently for something. I inhale the smell of brand new crayons, paper, pencils, and erasers and it makes me feel happy and excited. So many <i>possibilities</i>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be honest, I haven't changed much in the last 40 years. I have found slightly more socially acceptable ways of going to my "happy place" so you won't find me sticking my head in my purse or anything like that. And my tablet carries the equivalent of everything I used to carry in my book bag and then some. But I still feel like I could change the world if I had enough good books and paper and the BIG box of Crayolas!<br />
<br /></div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Freebie time!</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So that brings me to my newest <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4Ta5t9svMTjbWJrSVdkQWpKV28" target="_blank">freebie</a></b>! A set of 3 actually. All just in time for back to school crafting. You can find them here. If you haven't checked out my <b><a href="http://www.winkwinkink.com/p/free-stamps.html" target="_blank">Freebies Page</a></b> yet, there are even more goodies there!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In an earlier post I talked about making little add-on images to make my existing stamps more versatile. I even revamped my entire collection to include versions that could be layered on top of each other without lines showing through so you could create new scenes and essentially brand new stamps out of the ones you already own. Now I can finally show you what I mean!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love working with this new <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/454102578/digital-stamp-night-owl-with-coffee-mug?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">Night Owl</a></b> stamp so much!

Here's a great reminder for someone having those first day of school jitters, a big scary exam, or just anybody who is dealing with stressful situations in general. I made the stack of books taller and heftier for this one and I think it worked out great. </div>

This last one reminds me a lot of little me. I tried stacking 2 book images on top of each other for this one. I flipped one around so it wouldn't look exactly like the one on top of it. Don't you love the versatility of digis?! So many possibilities!</div>

Hey everyone, Ruby here. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!</div>
<br />
Today I get the awesome privilege of sharing a completely NEW Wink Wink Ink image! This adorable little guy called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/454102578/digital-stamp-night-owl-with-coffee-mug?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank"><b>Night Owl</b>!</a> Which I'm sure is loosely based on my mom when she's designing her stamps. One of the coolest things about this one is that you not only get the regular 4 .png files (see our <a href="http://www.winkwinkink.com/p/about.html" target="_blank">about</a> page for more on that) but 2 BONUS colored images! All 3 versions shown in this blog post come with the file.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I easily think <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/454102578/digital-stamp-night-owl-with-coffee-mug?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Night Owl</a></b> is one of my favorites EVER! I've always been a bit obsessed with owls (I even had an owl baby shower when I was pregnant with my oldest!) and I'm a more or less addicted to coffee (1, because it's yummy and 2, how else do you think I survive being a mama to a sassy, almost 4 year old and 14 month old twins?!) so you can imagine my reaction when my mom showed me this design: I went crazy for it! Check out some digi card examples my mom made!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
This white version reminds me a bit of Hedwig from Harry Potter! The glitter background definitely gives it a magical feel, doesn't it?<br />

All of my personal coffee cups are this fun lime green shade, so I like this one a lot too. I also love how the feathers are colored to look a tad iridescent, just like real feathers!<br />

I've been out of town all week without internet so I'm a little behind on things. However, I do have a new stamp and 3 cards for you today!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/466317313/digital-stamp-porcupine-and-blue-bird?ref=shop_home_active_1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCYJDRNwcOXgkBEGBNBaicfQ97xpEGhoB4SZMFUdOmjEy12h49rKE_AhY9Zf93zjA6IRSA1-7jBUmPd_vsS83ODjAxzZ2PXLZXBrqJQHIL_9Rv1dY84t6xzF4PVFDzUabANxDZAWPEoaw/s400/folder.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Meet "Porcupine". (My imagination for choosing names does not equal my imagination for drawing pictures apparently.) <br />
<br />
As a Montana girl I have met my fair share of porcupines while out in the woods and I think they get kind of a bad rap. They just like their space and they are pleasant enough if you don't go sticking your nose in their business. I can appreciate that! <br />
<br />
This image would be perfect for a simple "Hello" or Thinking of you" type of card. However, it's also pretty easy to come up with some pun-tastic sentiments, if that's your thing! <br />
<br />

I am getting very excited to introduce my new Fall stamps in August! I've also been working on a couple of freebies that you can pair up with some of our existing stamps to give them a whole new purpose for Fall. Be sure to sign up to receive our emails (upper right side of this page) so you won't miss anything!<br />

Hello, Everybody!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you are all enjoying your summer. I know I am! There are fresh veggies ready in the garden, the flowers are blooming, and I have been drawing and designing up a storm! (More on that later!) I chased this little guy all over the place the other day and finally got a picture with his wings open before he flew away. Isn't he beautiful?!</div>

I used a variety of stamps on the cards I've made for you today. I've been trying to design at least one card for every stamp in my store. I've had a couple of people ask about my design team. I probably DO need a design team but things are just a little too uncertain at the moment in "moving purgatory". It's one thing to fly by the seat of my pants by myself but dragging a whole team of people along for the ride would probably just make everybody mad at me! So that's something I may be looking into after I am settled, whenever that is. Hopefully sooner rather than later.</div>

<b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262578904/digital-stamp-sunny-happy-sun-sunshine?ref=shop_home_active_31" target="_blank">Sunny</a></b> is a stamp I have had sitting in my store for awhile but I had yet to use him on a project. The whole time I was making him I kept humming "You are my Sunshine" so it wasn't hard to decide what my card was going to say! I had a much more flowery, feminine version in my head but this is how it turned out and I like it. This would be a great card for guys or gals who light up your life! </div>

I have also been overhauling my <b><a href="http://www.winkwinkink.com/p/free-stamps.html" target="_blank">Freebies</a></b> page this week. From now on all of the freebies will be the same quality as my stamps for sale. I've also added pictures with links directly to the corresponding file so you don't have to go hunting for it. Not that there is much to search through yet but I have big plans! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Ta5t9svMTjZlptclVvZERsbVU/view" target="_blank">cupcake</a> was on the page once but I took it down and gave it a major makeover this week. It's been redrawn at a higher resolution, colored, and all the individual images now come in the 4 different versions of transparent png files just like the stamps I sell in my store. So you can now easily layer the pieces and build yourself the perfect cupcake. Yummy!</div>

I had something else planned for my blog post today but summer allergies had me feeling like my head was in the clouds most of the week. Since I've been feeling a bit under the weather, I decided to pull out a half finished post I have been saving for a rainy day. Okay, okay...enough bad puns.<br />

In case you haven't figured it out, today it's all about "<b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262426035/digital-stamp-cloudy-rain-cloud-with?ref=shop_home_active_33" target="_blank">Cloudy</a>"</b>! There are so many quotes about clouds and rainy days that work so well on encouragement cards. Humble, unassuming <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262426035/digital-stamp-cloudy-rain-cloud-with?ref=shop_home_active_33" target="_blank">Cloudy</a>, with his kind smile and hopeful expression, (and completely unimaginative name) is just the perfect image for comforting and gently lifting spirits. He's simple, uncomplicated, and never clashes with any color I use with him. And I'm finding that he gets along so well with so many of my other images!<br />

This is a card I made shortly before I found out I had to move. I stuck it in my laptop bag at the last minute and now I'm glad it didn't get put in storage with everything else. It always makes me smile and it's a great reminder that brighter days are always ahead of me. <br />
<br />
You will need to print out 2 images for this card- the card front and an extra cloud. I printed out the sentiment separately but you could just print it on the card front and it would still look really nice. The font I used is <a href="http://www.fontspace.com/new-typography/amatic-sc" target="_blank">Amatic SC</a>. <br />

<br />
I ran a tape runner across the widest part of the cloud on the card front and lined up my ribbon scraps over it. I glued a scrap of cardstock over the ends to make sure they were secure and to give it a better surface to adhere the top cloud. I folded the ribbon over to the back side and did the same thing on the other side. I adhered it to the yellow card. Then I cut out the second cloud and attached it over the ribbon ends with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-4013-2-Inch-150-Inch-Mounting/dp/B003W0R4PE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478319638&sr=8-12&keywords=double+sided+foam+tape&linkCode=ll1&tag=winkwinkink-20&linkId=995f3c96551e89ef71c83f2d1881910f" target="_blank">double sided foam tape</a>.<br />

<br />
I cut out the sentiment and inked the edges with Palette "Beaux Arts Blue" ink and also popped it up with <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-4013-2-Inch-150-Inch-Mounting/dp/B003W0R4PE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478319638&sr=8-12&keywords=double+sided+foam+tape&linkCode=ll1&tag=winkwinkink-20&linkId=995f3c96551e89ef71c83f2d1881910f" target="_blank">double sided foam tape</a>. The final step was a little <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ranger-Stickles-Glitter-2-Ounce-Waterfall/dp/B00161UN2M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478319263&sr=8-3&keywords=waterfall+stickles&linkCode=ll1&tag=winkwinkink-20&linkId=e57220eb67c2f30ea64ccd91ba1d83e4" target="_blank">"Waterfall" Stickles </a>bling on the raindrops.<br />

This is another card I made right before I moved. Fortunately I had taken pictures of it so I can share it with you too. It is a tall card, made to fit in a regular business size envelope. I printed the card front on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reminiscence-Stock-Brights-Assorted-Sheets/dp/B000JCRCC8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1466303225&sr=8-3&keywords=pearl+cardstock&linkCode=ll1&tag=winkwinkink-20&linkId=40245684e05694d026a45d9319531888" target="_blank">Reminiscence blue pearl cardstock</a>.<b> </b> It's looks really, really pretty in person, almost like the printed lines are hovering slightly over the surface of the paper. It doesn't photograph very well at all, unfortunately. (Or maybe it's just the photographer!) I used the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262426035/digital-stamp-cloudy-rain-cloud-with?ref=shop_home_active_33" target="_blank">Cloudy</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/262577072/digital-stamp-rainy-day-bear-in-raincoat?ref=shop_home_active_34" target="_blank">Rainy Day</a> images for this card.<br />
<br />
The sentiment says "Maybe I can't stop the downpour but I will always join you for a walk in the rain." I love that! Such a sweet quote for someone who is going through a rough time. Another nice thing about this card is that it would be perfect for guys or girls.<br />

I printed out extra images on plain, white cardstock to layer over it with foam tape and give it a little more dimension but it would also have been pretty and definitely a LOT simpler without it.</div>

I'm posting a little early this week because I will be away from the computer for a few days. I am so excited to tell you about the newest addition to my store! <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/399533979/digital-stamp-set-beauty-horse-unicorn?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Beauty</a> includes a horse, a unicorn, a pegasus, and a pegacorn! As a side note, I was very happy to find that "pegacorn" is a real word because I already named all my files that. LOL<br />
<br />
There are 4 individual stamps in the set and each has 1 colored image and 3 uncolored files that are normally included with every Wink Wink Ink image. (If you are new to Wink Wink Ink, please, see my new <b><a href="http://www.winkwinkink.com/p/about.html" target="_blank">About </a></b>page for an explanation of what kinds of files I include with all of my stamps if you have never bought one before.)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But there's MORE! Since I am a horse crazy girl from way back, I got carried away and made 5 more BONUS colored images! Most of the time when I color an image for my personal use, I throw it in the zip file for you at no extra charge but I've never done this many before. So you get 9 colored images (all pictured here) plus the 12 uncolored files (NOT pictured here) for a total of 21 files. </div>

My First Digital Layout</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a couple of different projects to share with you today. I usually stick to cards but since I've been trying out digital crafting and all my photos are right there, handy on the computer, it seems a lot more accessible to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have always had good intentions to scrap more but I don't because I get frustrated with the photo part. I will not go into my experiences with photo printing because... Well, you just do NOT want to get me started! I hate, hate, HATE inkjet photo printers and they hate me right back. And when I get pictures printed at the store, it seems like they are the wrong size or the color doesn't look like it did on my computer. Oh, yeah... And I have to leave my house. (I'm a bit of an introvert.) So I really haven't done much with photos.</div>

The stamp is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/399533979/digital-stamp-set-beauty-horse-unicorn?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Beauty</a>, the horse version. It was done with <a href="http://www.serif.com/craftartist/" target="_blank">Craft Artist Pro 2</a> software and all of the digital elements are from <a href="https://www.pixelscrapper.com/" target="_blank">Pixel Scrapper</a>. The fonts are <a href="http://www.fontspace.com/princess/handwriting" target="_blank">Handwriting</a> and <a href="http://www.fontspace.com/sergey-beatoff-aka-sam-t/truetypewriter-polyglott" target="_blank">Truetypewriter PolyglOTT</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really had fun with this one. It brought back so many good memories that I am thinking about expanding it to 2 pages later on because it wouldn't all fit on the page. When I was younger I rarely drew anything besides horses and I just kind of ran with that idea. That's me in the pink shirt at about 9 years old and my brother was 7.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also remembered getting a stack of free horse magazines at the Flathead County Library when I was about 12 years old and painstakingly cutting out each horse picture and gluing it into a notebook with glue stick. Some of them had pictures on both sides of the pages and I remember agonizing over which horse to keep and which horse got cut in half. A couple of years later I was doing the same thing with Rick Springfield pictures... And now here I am. LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last time I talked about layering and why I included opaque white backgrounds with my images. But this illustrates really well what can be done with an image with the completely transparent background. (I lightened the black lines a little to make it look more like a pencil drawing.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The journaling is pretty tiny so I have copied it here:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
I think I was born wishing I had a horse. When I was 5 years old we moved to my grandma’s farm in Bigfork. There I sort of inherited my aunt’s old Welsh pony, Cricket. She wasn’t much good for riding anymore. She would let me sit on her back as long as I didn’t get any funny ideas about going anywhere. But she was a HORSE and that was good enough for me!</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
I spent many a day as a little girl in the barn telling her my troubles and braiding her mane and tail, complete with ribbons and bows. I thought she was the most beautiful horse in the world! </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
That was the closest I ever got to having my own horse and she gave me some of my best memories. She is always in the back of my mind whenever I draw a horse. I still miss her. </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />

Dream Big Card</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWlXY2ymLOdpPA9K7Yn-T2q0nCWuulU8lPaB6SjcAABXPKrpSLm9TmsS-q0Jzwr3V2F1Wjb_1sfTTBEBJbFY9CHGPXvMH-GB17EsL-TL1NsoaXPSIjL1ygQrR-Z4ncDN9k3rPMpRJQBSY/s400/beauty+unicorn2.png" width="283" /></div>
<br />
<br />
The stamp is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/399533979/digital-stamp-set-beauty-horse-unicorn?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Beauty</a>, the unicorn version. This is a 5" x 7" card. It's made with <a href="http://www.serif.com/craftartist/" target="_blank">Craft Artist Pro 2</a> software. The sentiment and glitter paper are from <a href="https://www.pixelscrapper.com/" target="_blank">Pixel Scrapper</a>. <br />
<br />
The whole time I was making this one I kept thinking that Napoleon Dynamite would think this was a pretty sweet card. I could hear him saying "Buy Wink Wink Ink stamps and all of your wildest dreams will come true." They won't. That would be false advertising. But you might have a lot of fun. So why not try some and see what happens? <br />
<br />
Thanks for reading. I appreciate you! :)<br />

But I am doing just fine anyway. I’ve discovered a few things over the last couple of months.<br />
<br />
1. Facebook is not necessary to my survival and I am far more productive and at peace with the world without checking it every 15 minutes.<br />
<div>
<br />
2. I love the library! And not just for free wifi. I miss my shelves full of books. And quiet is my middle name. </div>
<div>
<br />
3. I have THE best kind of neighbors! (Definitely thinking I need to add a cow stamp to the line up!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. I could live just fine without about 90% of the stuff I have in storage. And the 10% that I need seems to have disappeared and I’m still ok. I’m entertaining the idea that a portal to Narnia has opened up in the back of the storage unit and some of my stuff got carried off by talking mice or something because I couldn’t possibly have forgotten where I put it! Not me…<br />
<strong><em><u><br /></u></em></strong></div>
<div>
5. <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Digital crafting is awesome!</span><br />
<div>
<b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Designing Digitally</span></h3>
You would think that since my business involves digital stamps, I would have jumped on the digital crafting bandwagon ages ago. However, I like making a mess and experimenting with techniques. I’m into fussy cutting, stitching, inked edges, pop dots, all kinds of embellishments, and layers upon layers of cardstock until my cards need to be mailed in a shoe box instead of an envelope. (Only a slight exaggeration.)<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled onto <a href="https://www.amazon.com/US-Serif-Software-CraftArtist-Professional/dp/B009PHA6DA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478321580&sr=8-1&keywords=craft+artist+2&linkCode=ll1&tag=winkwinkink-20&linkId=04bdecfb1c88fb964d709c04dfa2744c" target="_blank">Craft Artist Pro 2 software</a> by Serif. It took me half the afternoon at the library to download it. I played with it all that night and by morning I was totally hooked! Since then I have been downloading all kinds of free goodies every time I go to town. It’s like Christmas! I am a happy, happy girl!<br />
<br />
While I am not ready to give up on crafting the old fashioned way, there are a lot of things I really like about using digital products, especially when it comes to designing.<br />
<br />
I have really bad ideas sometimes. For every project I make, there are probably 2 or 3 that end up in the trash. It takes a lot of time to stitch and cut and do intricate work, only to find that my “amazing” idea looks like a hot mess in reality. It’s much easier and less costly to take an idea and tweak it to perfection on the computer before I attempt it in real life.<br />
<br />
It also helps me develop a better eye for what works. I am not a professional designer and I have much to learn about composition, color palettes, and style. I am also very hands-on, so just reading about it in a book does not stick in my brain. With digital products I can freely experiment with all kinds of color combinations, patterns, and embellishments and be a lot more adventurous than I would be if I were using real supplies that cost real money.<br />
<br />
Digital papers are also printable so if I find something that looks good with my colored stamp images on the screen, it will also going to look good together when I print it out. I am very excited to try some hybrid projects involving digital and traditional media when I am able to get out my crafty mess again.<br />
<br />
And last, but not least, it gives me a way to FINALLY get all those ideas out of my head and onto my blog at last! <br />

In Love with Light Lines</span></h3>
<div align="left">
I have been experimenting a lot lately with the light line images. I do all my coloring digitally for now so the process is a little different than using traditional media. However, I still love the softer look. Both images were colored with an android app called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nattou.layerpainthd" target="_blank">Layer Paint HD</a>. The cards were both designed in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/US-Serif-Software-CraftArtist-Professional/dp/B009PHA6DA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478321580&sr=8-1&keywords=craft+artist+2&linkCode=ll1&tag=winkwinkink-20&linkId=04bdecfb1c88fb964d709c04dfa2744c" target="_blank">Craft Artist Pro 2</a>.<br />
<br /></div>

It is a lot more time consuming for me to color things this way but the good news is, when it’s digital, I can use the colored image again and again. </div>

I used the light line image to color it digitally, also in <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nattou.layerpainthd" target="_blank">Layer Paint HD</a>. I kept the background transparent. (The oval behind it is separate and has a blue gradient effect applied to it in the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/US-Serif-Software-CraftArtist-Professional/dp/B009PHA6DA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1478321580&sr=8-1&keywords=craft+artist+2&linkCode=ll1&tag=winkwinkink-20&linkId=04bdecfb1c88fb964d709c04dfa2744c" target="_blank">Craft Artist Pro 2</a> software.) </div>
