Sweet Escape Tuesday No.5.

Final Guest DT Sweet Escape Digi Tuesday! And this time I bring to you - Cute Couple Foxes!

I made them christmassy, but they could be for any occasion! Super cute anniversary card too I think? Here is a link to them in the shop and what they look like as a digi!

I coloured them in polychromo pencils on kraft card and added text in Gigi font.

I also teamed them up with some awesome freebie papers from Making Cards Magazine, and I think it's a pretty current issue if you fancy getting some for yourself? I also added some glossy accents and stickles for some highlights.

So time to say thank you to Sweet Escape Digis for having me! I have had a super five weeks as a Guest DT and loved colouring your digistamps! Thank you very much :)

Dr. Digi Saucer Head!

Hi! It’s Annabel here and I am a little bit excited to share my first official Dr. Digi's House of Stamps Design Team project!

I have thoroughly enjoyed making a card for my nephew with “Saucer head”. What kind of jumpers do aliens wear? I opted for mauve stripes J I hope he makes my nephew chuckle, I certainly did whilst I was colouring him up.

I coloured him with polychromos (as usual!) on kraft card. I printed him out a bit paler than the text so I could lose the lines a bit as I coloured. I highlighted in white posca pen. Added glossy accents and stickles. And a few gel stars I picked up in the pound shop! (cheapo shopping win!)

Fonts are Adventure and Courier New.

The awesome background papers I used are from my very old stack -"All About Boys" from DCWV. It's a product that might have been expensive but is worth every penny! I thought these two papers went nicely with the digi.... but unfortunately are really hard to buy now. Good news tho you can buy some fab matching papers from the Dr.Digi shop too! Actually the Sci-fi set  is kind of tempting, and very good value.. I was tempted anyway! :)

Here he is the shop if you fancy a go too? Fabulous to colour, lots of opportunity to be creative! Want to have another go at colouring him where everything glows!!! And another go where I colour the glass dome more like a bubble. So many ideas for him :)

So pleased to be on the DT and to have the opportunity to spend alot more time colouring the Dr. Digi images! They have always been one of my favourite things to colour so I feel jolly lucky.

Sweet Escape Tuesday No.4

Back once again with some more Sweet Escape Digi joy! - This is Lady Dragon!

Lady Dragon is one of four super digis in the Fantasy Digital Stamps Pack. Here is a look at the actual digi and a link to  her in the shop.

I wanted to go a bit, "mother of dragons" with her, so gave her a kinda GOT theme with the text, and made the bit of hair I could see pale blonde, and gave her violet eyes!

But I'm not sure she is entirely Khalessi! She was beautiful to colour though. I confess, it took me more than one evening to colour her in, but I gave myself a strict colour palette to follow as I was aiming for a rich effect. 

The font is called Game of Thrones and the papers are from Making Cards Magazine. The sequins and ribbon are from the stash and I used stickles, nuvo drops and glossy accents to highlight areas too. It's a pretty big card, I used an 8x8 kraft card blank from Papermania.

The Katmodo Dragon!

New release at Knitty Kitty Digis! Another chap in the "Furry Tails Set" for you, and he is a Katmodo Dragon! :)

He is a dramatic (can't think of a better word) combination of cat and dragon! :D He roars!

Here he is as a digistamp and he is available in the Knitty Kitty Etsy Shop Now for $2!

I printed him out onto kraft card and added a greeting in Northwood High Font. I coloured him with polychromos, and then added white posca pen, stickles and glossy accents!

If you would like to see what the Design Team have done with him, or you want more details or to chat, please click the link to join us on the Knitty Kitty Facebook Page!

Star Fairy Sparkle

Back again with another cross post from here to the Little Blue Button Stamps Blog.

Really enjoyed picking out some christmassy images to colour and this time I chose the beautiful Star Fairy!

I loved colouring her and risked an orange and green colour combo, something I am not very good at!  The font I used is called Troutkings BTN.

She is, as normal, coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card with ALOT of white posca pen to create a sort of... sparkle? I added some Stickles too, just to make sure we were looking magical! :)

Click the picture below to check her out in the shop!

To finish I mounted the topper onto a 7x5 card blank and added some green bling and some Shimelle stars from the stash. The orange paper was part of a freebie set from a magazine a vvvvverrrrrry long time ago. Thought it fitted well though and enjoyed doing Xmas in non-traditional colours!

Check out the LBB blog to see what's going on at Little Blue Button! There's a whole DT working hard and sharing their creations!

Sweet Escape Tuesday No.3!

It's Sweet Escape Tuesday again, and I am officially half way through my Guest DT slot for Sweet Escape Digis! I am loving it!

Here is "Nuts About You" and awesome digi that I have added a bit of snow too to make him into a super cute christmas card!

Obviously, I coloured him in polychromos as normal, on the same kraft card too.

I found a paper in my stash with acorns to add (From Craftseller magazine, does that still exist?) and added various snowflakes from christmas sticker sets. I also added some glossy accents to his eyes and stickles to the snow.

Here he is in digi format and also a link to him in the shop if you fancy colouring him too?

Looking forward to using him in the future as I know he'll make an awesome fall/autumn birthday card too :)

Such a nice prize!

Was so stoked to win a prize from Sheepski Designs with my Disco Sloth card! I chose this super Winter Robin digi to colour up and it was really good fun to do!

Coloured with Polychromos on kraft card! No surprise at all there hey? :) The berries are so much darker on the photo, not sure why, how odd! :)

The font is Kilsonburg, thought it would make a nice change. I mounted the kraft topper onto a spotted card base with 3D foam. I also added glossy accents to the berries (More for interest than anything else) and some stickles to the snow.

I had a great time colouring it, thanks for the prize Sheepski Designs! :)

Entered for the Sheepski Designs Challenge 8 - Show Us Your Wings

LBB Christmas Fox New Release!

You know how I love colouring foxes! So pleased when I found out one of the new releases at Little Blue Button is this smashing Christmas Fox! Isn't he gorgeous??

If you would like to purchase him, he is the in the shop HERE! Plus, good news, if you are reading this near the time of posting there is an offer for 30% off in the LBB Shop and you can use it from the 1st to the 5th November! Just use code "treat30". You can use it on any purchase too!

I couldn't resist embellishing him with some baubles, as why do foxes have antlers if not to add on accessories? :)

He is polychromos on kraft card. I used the same fur technique as normal. I used a posca pen for highlights. Glossy accents on the baubles, eyes and nose. And some stickles on the snow. Obviously I couldn't resist adding some knitting texture too! Font is Concurso Mod.
