Digital Delights By Louby Loo..New Release

It's New release day at Digital Delights today..This lovely image comes in a set which also includes a sentiment and a lovely letterbox too. I have just chosen to do the figure as this time I chose the paper first . I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card and have fussy cut her leaving a white edge around her to make her stand out a bit more from darker background and to be added to the card with 3D gel glue when its constructed..
The papers I used are Craftwork Cards Festive Chalkboards..These papers are so beautiful and it is nice that there are also a couple of scenes included in the pad too,this is one of them,and just perfect for the lovely figure too.I matted the papers onto gold card and for the decorations I have used CC Classic Snowflakes which I also cut from the gold card,using the off cuts so no waste on this card which is great.I layered the whole set for the large one in the bottom corner ,but just cut the small one single ..I then added pretty red gems to the centers that have a small gold snowflake on those as well..Quite a simple card but the matting makes it look rich and the gold snowflakes finish it perfectly ..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Twinkle toes the Little Troll

Hiya,I saw one of these of FB the other day and I know I am no longer on the team but ..Well she is just adorable and I just fancied colouring for me as a change ,and I do have Birthdays coming up soon too so I shall use it for one of those.and I just had to have her lol!..
I have coloured her wit Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card. I then drew around the die I wanted to use so that it got the main part of her in it and then fussy cut her out..Then cut out the background with a lovely raspberry coloured card  I found in my stash , last two sheets too,but goes nice with her hair.This was cut on my Ebosser though for crispness..I added the cut topper then to this with 3D glue gel and left to one side to dry..The die I used is by Yvonne Creations and it is called Magnificent Christmas frame YCD10001 ,I sent for this from America ,but these dies are slowly coming over to the UK now and they have some lovely designs too so watch out for them .The papers are from Tonics Folksey Florals and I feel these just worked beautifully with the image..The flowers are from LeCrea'Designs and is Multi flower 009 or no. Leane'451550 so hope this helps..to finish I added some pretty gems to the center and some very sparkly heart gems scattered around..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release SPOOKY!!

This is one cute owl I have coloured him in using the Touch Five pens everyone is talking about on FB ..They perfom really well for the money so I have had a really good workout with them,As you who visit me now and then know I usually use Pencils as not very good with pens at all.
I wanted to keep this bright and fun so I chose to do the wiggly line thing around the outside of the image ,then a few blacked in sections..I matted onto Purple Mirri card as its Halloween and its brighter and fun instead of black..The papers for this one are from Tonic, from the Simply Blossoms paper pad.these too were mounted onto the purple Mirri.I placed some sort of grassy feeling ribbon that florists use  behind where the main image was going to go ,then glued the topper in place with 3D glue to help hold it in place ...then to finish some gold plastic stars were added ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Morgans Artworld Saturday Inspiration

Hiya..Today's inspiration card is done from the freebie that was on the blog a few months ago ,and I never had time before to do.I have coloured it in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,then mounted it onto Pink Centura Pearl card...For the main part of the card I used a full piece of the same Centura Pearl and folded it four times so as to make a kind of hump in the middle to which after decorating I attached the topper.The paper used was from CC English Country Garden Paper pad and the Flowers are from Tattered Lace  they are called Tuck in Flowers.
I used this as often you see these pretty frames either in print or in dies and it scares some people as they are not sure what to do ..I know when I first started I would not ,.to be honest I was a little worried as I has coloured it and I left it on the shelf  before deciding what to do ..that is where the scene came in ..what a great idea and I think it worked out nicely..easy done ..it was really! just a few lines and I just had to add the couple walking the dog in the distance lol!..But you could also do this with a print or even a photo too if you don't feel as brave..Colouring and cardmaking is a journey ,and you do not know what you can do until you try or experiment with ..So have fun try new things and think outside the box it can suprise you ..but most of all have fun doing it..Thanks for popping by :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release ..Dragoon

Hiya ,for this super cute image I have coloured her in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I then used a Tonic circular fancy die ,it is in three pieces,Sorry I dont remember the name but it is from the Verso range..(I store my dies in a Magnetic sheet wallet and this one did not have it's name on it,),I used the outer two..I drew around the image with the inside of the fancy  die so that I could get the image in the circle with her tail sticking out..I then fussy cut it out. I then cut the two outer dies out in some pretty lilac card..The papers were also mounted onto the same card ,and they are from the CC English Country Garden..The beige had wiggly lines put around it using a Pitt pen and the Pink Faux stitches..I kept the card simple as I wished the image and die to be the main feature ,but did add some faux pearl star gems to the two corners ad decoration and also a With Love sentiment..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter ..Turtle and Duck

Oh my Gosh I LOVE THIS!!..who would not? lol!..I fell in love with her when I first saw her and knew I had to do this stamp It is from the last release..The background is my creation you will only get the stamp ,but it is actually created with only a few lines and grass points so you could have a go..I have coloured her in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card and I have mounted it onto some pretty blue card ..The Papers I have used are from First Editions Floral Pavilion and just went so beautifully with this image ,keeping it pretty and girly...These too have been mounted onto the same pretty blue card..I put faux stitching around the dotted paper to add a bit of an edge to it and added a strip from one of the other papers from the collection, down it too almost as a ribbon..More than one would have been too much.The flower is from a die I brought when I first started crafting and I am sorry I cannot remember what it was but I have done multiple of each layer and it gives it the sort of Camelia look . and to finish I added some of the petals cut up and coloured with a CC Sparkle pen in green, I creased these and pinched them on the ends so they look more like leaves.I then popped a resin rose in the center and added to the card  and added a couple of pink faux pearl gems to finish..Thank you for popping by :)xx
