So I am working on inking new embroidery/digital stamp designs, which means I need to "outline" them.  Basically create that black outline right over my sketches.  I also am working on my own way of coloring in adobe ideas where I can make the black outline match more of the color of the character.  This way I can have a nice clean outline for digital stamps/digitized embroidery and then a nice colored image for my portfolio, threadless or cafe press/zazzle.  I think by having the outline a "color" and not black  gives it a better look for kids t-shirts etc.   Here is  peek of my work in progress!

Here is a sneak peek of my second threadless submission created in adobe ideas. I will post a link if it gets accepted for voting! I am having fun thinking of ideas!
 
 
Here is a sneak peek of my first Threadless submission as 2 Cute Ink!  I started thinking this would be a fun way to get my creative juices flowing by thinking of "creative" drawings that I can enter at Threadless!  I do like how this one turned out so now all I need to do is upload the image onto the computer and place on a t shirt template! :)  Now I need to  think of my next idea!
 
 
I decided to take a look at zazzle.com after I checked out cafe press.com and I am leaning more towards a zazzle shop!
Does anyone have a shop at either place?
Just wondering if anyone have any thought?
 
 
Instead of inking this morning I decided to work on my first design for my cafe press shop. I used one of my recent sketches a, little elephant and had some fun playing with color in adobe ideas.   At first I had this little guy colored blue but I decided to color him grey instead.  I really like him colored grey  better!  What do you think I should put this on in my cafe press shop? I know I would like to have a shirt made for me lol. I was thinking of adding more water and splashes, maybe even have the water write out something?
 
 
I started a new project yesterday in adobe ideas, where instead of inking in black first I went straight for color!  So far so good, hoping this will be my first image to put on cafe press :)
 
 
So last night while Brandon, the doggies, and I were having a netflix marathon, I had the urge to play around with my sketchbook pro app.  I have only tried it out a few times and I created one of my favorite pieces last year called
"Cherry Love"!  I have always wanted to take my cute characters and color them more artistically.  So I was just testing out different brushes and then found the same brush I used for the cherries and just started doodling!   The doodling yesterday made me want to follow through with my idea of creating a cute wedding greeting card line using this style! :)
