Sketch Saturday ..Fred She Said Digi Stamps

Hiya,I hope you are all well today :) .. for this card I have used this super cute fairy from Fred She Said..I have coloured her first with SN Pens and then finished with Polychromos pencils,it cuts down the time a little when colouring..But as you know it is not my preferred medium..As you can see from the sketch I have followed the design,but did the card square instead of oblong..The background papers are from the new Painted Flowers paper pad from Docrafts,such a beautiful luxurious pad, but  the card is aimed more for a child I used the butterfly background from it to give it a more fun feel and a pretty daisy sort of pattern that I felt went well with it and the image..I mounted all of these onto craft card to make each section stand out more from each section..I then glued them to the card base on top of the backing papers with 3D glue gel to give a little depth..After fussy cutting and slightly bending the fairy I also added her with 3D glue gel..I use this as I cannot handle the sticky tape and 3D pads, and I find it easier with my poor hands to have a little wiggle room too ..hence the glue..The flower die and the Happy Birthday are from China,the flower and leaves were hand coloured with SN pens and shaped and glued in place and the Birthday was cut in craft card so it stood out more..
Thank you for popping by :) xx

Sasayaki Glitter Grey Challenge

Hiya..This is a fun cute image to do ..I coloured it with SN pens and finished with Polychromos Pencils..I just feel pens do not give the depth Pencils do..but it was a nice change for me ..I then fussy cut him our leaving a small white edge around him to make him pop a bit once on the card..I looked at the other DT work ,I have done mine all grey,they have just added a touch as in they have chosen grey for the image or for accents on the card..
I designed the background paper on my Digital do crafts designer program by using the digi image and creating an all over pattern with him on a pale grey background..the other pieces are from various discs on there I have used and turned to black and white..The sky image at the front is from a landscape picture that I used the sky from after turning it to black and white on the program..I don't do digital often ,but it does have a place in the craft room .It is where I actually started with cd work and decoupage,cannot believe how far I have come today ,all because of FB and seeing the wonderful colouring on there and wishing I could colour like that..So I taught myself and am still learning all the time ..so much fun making cards..But I am one who has to go above and beyond ,just the way I am lol!.But if you want to do something it is worth doing it right ...
Thank you for popping by :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release

I love this new release image ,and could not wait to get it coloured up..I have used Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card and pastel chalks for the background .Once cut I then mounted her onto craft card..The papers are g.c.,d Melody Ross Designer Collection,these were also mounted onto craft card too..The flower is from a die from China I believe listed as a Sunflower and I have done it in multi layers to give it more depth ,I hand coloured the layers with water colour pens from SN and shaped with a ball tool before gluing together, I then added little orange faux pearls to the center and here and there to the paper to bring the small amount of orange I have used in the main image out into the background paper...
Thank you for popping by :)xx

Sketch Saturday DT Card

Hiya,For this Saturday's card I have used this beautiful image,it is one of a set of 6 cute baby animals,really beautifully illustrated too..and a good bargain at only 96p for the six,she has got some really lovely stamps and also coloured illustrations in her shop and all really cheap too..In this day and age its nice to get a bargain,expecially a smashing set of cutie's..I really like these,there is a panda ,elephant,zebra,hippo and a monkey as well as this one ..She sells most of her stamps in sets and there is a nice variety too so worth a look and I am sure you will find a use for them ,I think this has coloured up beautifully ..I have coloured mine in Polychromos Pencils on neenah Solar Crest card.The image was cut out from a Tattered Lace basic oval die as was the backing card in craft card..All the papers used are from Tonic Paper pads and also mounted onto craft card..The Sentiment is a computer generated one as at 5.50 in the morning its all I felt like doing if you know what I mean lol!I started the card early ,but you know when if anything can go wrong when making a card goes wrong ..it happened on this one ,even down to first putting the wrong teams watermark on lol!.. After being ill all last week and sick the last two days I think I did well to get it done so until my next post ..Thanks for visiting and have fun :)xx

Adult Coloring Book - Whimsical Dreams: Color up a Fantasy, Magic Characters. All ages. 50 Different Images printed on single-sided pages Paperback.

by Julia Spiri (Author)


From the Author: In this coloring book you will find lots of unique, whimsical characters from a gentle world of fantasy. There are 50 different images to color. Creating a character is a long creative process. Once an idea has formed in my mind I begin sketching, until I have a clear image that I am happy with and want to paint. Once this is complete I finish the final drawing with clean lines, sometimes using traditional pencil, and sometimes digital pencil. Creating so many characters for this book was a long process, but so much fun. I hope you enjoy coloring it as much as I enjoyed creating it. 50 Different Images printed on single-sided pages




And a few card sing the images included in the book too

Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Reminder

Hiya .There is still time to enter the challenge on our blog ,here is my reminder card..I have coloured her in using Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card, and I coloured the sky with Chalk Pastels..I then glued it onto craft card as I have my other papers..I have used papers from a pad by DCWV called Floral Stack..Thank you to the nice lady on FB who knows its name as I cannot find the front cover and part of the stack,it  has a lot of pretty  papers in it   ..but a bit thin for my liking... The flowers are cut from dies from China,For the flowers I used some pretty Lilli of the Valley Paper that was free in a magazine ages ago,found this not the other piece of my paper pad lol! ,the leaves were just cut in white card and coloured with a SN pen..To finish I added some pretty faux pearls to the centers to add a little shimmer ..
Thank you for visiting :)xx

World Wide Open Design Team Challenge DT Card

Hiya..This has been a really fun ,but time consuming card as the cutting out colouring and sticking was so none ending lol!..but I think worth it ..it has come out as a really fun card..I have coloured the image in using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah paper..I cut the image out using a Tonic Die..I am sorry I cannot remember the name as it is stored on a magnetic sheet and I have had it a long time,But it consists of a larger center die,the outer die and a cut out the edge die ..I used the two latter ones..I think it was something brambles perhaps..Any way I backed it with green card to make it stand out and used the same green card for the layering of the papers too.The papers are from First Editions Love Letters and I felt complemented the image perfectly and added a little sparkle too with the encapsulated glitter.The Mushrooms at the front I believe are Joy Crafts..The two taller ones at the back are from Marianne designs and the foxgloves are Tattered Lace die,The leaves are from china ..all hand coloured using SN pens All these were glued on using 3d glue gel to get a little depth ..
Thank you for visiting  :) xx
