Pretty

Hi everyone,

It's DT Yani here with another inspirational post for you!

This time I created a double-spread page on my art journal featuring the lovely Reflection stamp and you can find it here.

I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils (no blending solution was used!). Isn't she pretty? ;)

And in case that you were wondering about the background, I used different pieces of patterned paper, Gelatos, white acrylic paint, stencils, and a black pen.

As for the chipboard stickers, they are by Pink Paislee.

I hope that you liked it and thanks for stopping by! ~xoxo~

Art Journal Inspiration

Hi everyone!

It's DT Yani here with another inspirational post for you today.

This time I created a double-spread page on my art journal featuring the lovely Winter Tammi stamp...

I used Prismacolor Pencils to color her on Bristol Vellum Surface paper. Then I did a fussy cut around the image, and adhered it to my colored page.

For the background I used Dylusions Paints by Ranger, Inc. And the little prayer to the left is my own handwriting, which I did using Prismacolor Premier Assorted Markers.

I hope that you liked it! Thanks for stopping by!!

Mother Mary & The King

Hi everyone! This is DT Yani here with another inspiration post today...

This beautiful stamp is called Mother Mary...

And it is one of the newest Christmas stamps by Saturated Canary. You can find it here!

It was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits.

This other stamp is called The King and you can find it here! To color this image I used Prismacolor Pencils only. As you can see, both techniques give different results. It all depends on your mood and on what you're trying to achieve ;)

All papers used here are by Maja Design. I distressed all borders with Walnut Stain and did some machine stitching too. Heart diecuts are by Magnolia and the wreath diecut is by Memory Box. The wooden phrase and poinsettia were a gift by one of my dear friends.

Thanks for stopping by! ~xoxo~

Ephesians 6: The Whole Armor of God

Hi everyone,

It's DT Yani with another inspirational post to share with you today!

It is a Bible Journaling page that I did using the lovely Ephesians 6 stamp. You can have your own here.

I colored this cutie with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and also with Prismacolor Pencils. Also, I created a process video where I show you how you can work with digi stamps on your bible without doing any copyright infringement.

A Whale Friend

Hi everyone!

It's DT Yani here and today I'd like to share with you my latest card featuring this cute stamp called Whale Friends...

Isn't it adorable? I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils only (no blending solution was used here!) and I did a "fussy cutting" to it before adding it to the background, which is a beautiful patterned paper made by Prima Marketing, Inc. To embellish the card, I used pearls, flowers, and rhinestones. Yeah, I'm trying to keep it simple! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time!!

Happy Stamping!! ~xoxo~

DT Yani and Magic

Hey guys,

This is DT Yani with an inspirational post today!

This time I made a shaped card using this cute stamp called "Magic".  It is a special stamp and right now it is not available thru the store. Hopefully Krista will post an update on it soon ;-)

For coloring I used the "No-Lines" technique and I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils. To shape the card I used a die template by Spellbinders and my Big Shot. Papers are by Basic Grey and I distressed the edges with Distress Inks in Walnut Stain. Heart diecut and sentiment is by Magnolia, and the rest is paper flowers, cheese cloth, trims and sheer ribbon.

Thank you for visiting today!! ~xoxo~

You're Perfect!

Hi there lovelies,

Papers are by Pink Paislee and the flowers by Prima Marketing. For the shaped card I used a tag diecut by Quikcutz. Finally, I added a doily, trims, and tulle.

Well that's all for now. Thanks for stopping by! ~xoxo~

A "Fairy" Notebook

Hello everyone!!

This is DT Yani here and today I want to share with you my latest project...

A "Fairy" Notebook featuring the lovely "Fairy" stamp (stamp discontinued!).

I colored the stamp with Prismacolor Pencils. I also added Stickles to make her look more whimsical ;-)

About the notebook... I folded several 8 1/2" x 11" sheets of white paper in half, so that I could end up with a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" notebook. Then I sew the spine with my sewing machine and DONE!!

I hope that you have liked the idea! It certainly makes an amazing gift, specially if you have girls around ;-)

Little Artist

Hey guys!

It's DT Yani here with another inspirational post. And today I'm featuring the lovely Little Artist stamp, which is decorating the cover of my newest *art journal*...

I resized her to fit my art journal cover (5 1/2" x 8 1/2"), printed her in mixed media paper, and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils. I also used graphite pencils, gel pens, and chalk to highlight and decorate.

Well that's all for now. I hope that you have liked it and have a terrific weekend!! ~xoxo~

Some B&W with Hints of Sepia Inspiration

Hi there lovelies!!

This is DT Yani and today I am bringing you some *black & white* (with a hint of sepia) inspiration..

The lovely stamp that I am featuring is *Sweet Oklahoma*. I simply love her!! And... you won't believe this... but this is the first time that I color an image in black & white with hints of sepia using Prismacolor Pencils. At first I was a little bit scared to color her, but after a while it turned out to be tons of fun! Really, I had so much fun coloring her, that I had put together a *speed-coloring video* to show you my coloring process ;-D

As for the card, I used papers by Melissa Frances and the rest are embellishments that I found around like cheese cloth, paper flowers, trims, seam binding, rhinestones. I tried to keep it simple since I wanted the image to stand out ;-)

Anyway, I hope that you have liked it and thanks for stopping by!! ~xoxo~

Spring Is Here!!

Hi there lovelies!!

This is DT Yani here with another inspirational post. Today I am featuring the lovely *Augie the Piglet* stamp, which I colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

And this time I decided to go *back-to-basics* and created a square card. I have to admit that it was a breeze to make this one ;-)

OK so here's what I used: Augie the Piglet by Saturated Canary, of course... LOL! Papers are Vintage Market by Bazzil Papers, the two pink roses and the cream rose were handmade, and the rest of the flowers are generic. The wreath dies are by Memory Box and I also used pearls, trims, cheese cloth, did some machine stitching, and distressed the borders with Walnut Stain.

Happy Spring everyone!! ~xoxo~
