I've been battling a migraine, so I'm a bit late with my Thursday Inspiration post... but here it is!

Remember to check in the Little Miss Muffet Facebook Group throughout the day to see inspiration from all the Little Misses!

     

There are lots of newbies in the Little Miss Muffet Store, so be sure to have a look there, too!

I colored up Star Chester for my card... I can't resist a cute little monkey!

      

      

After coloring him in with Copics, I added Crystal Stickles to his hat and boots, and to the speckles on the star. The border was drawn using my Copic Black 0.1  Multiliner.

It's time for another Design Team Dare at Your Next Stamp, and this month we were given an easy dare... anything goes!

    

I inked up the adorable new Little Darling Aspen from this month's release, and colored her with Copics. I love this sentiment included with Aspen... wouldn't it be great for graduation cards?! I kept it clean and simple, and just popped her up in front of some cute papers from the Doodlebug Happy Camper 6x6 pad.

    

     

I finished her off with some clear chunky glitter on the trim of her hat and coat... it's not very sparkly, but I love the texture it adds.

Hair - E79, E77, E74, E71

I'm up on the Whimsie Doodles Blog today to share a sneaky peek from the December Release!

Keep your eyes on the What's New page of the store to see all the cuties Melyssa has for us this month!

   

This sweet girl is Bedtime Lizzie... isn't she adorable?! I've colored her with Copics, paper pieced her PJ's and kitty friend, and popped her up on the card. The sentiment is from a There She Goes set called Bring the Giggles. Sadly, TSG is out of business now... :(

I filled the rest of the white space with a few small die cut stars.

It's time for our monthly rubber stamp feature at A Random Fan, and this time we are showcasing the very awesome Rock Princess. 

     

   

Isn't she fun?! I just had to give her some funky pink hair! I used some black glittered cardstock to cut several stars from my YNS Whimsy Star Die Set, and scattered them around the card, along with a few Black Gumdrops. The sentiment is from a Lil' Inker Designs set called Bunny Star.

      

    

To finish her off, I added some sparkle to the stars on her face and guitar, and her skirt ruffles using my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.
