Have a happy birthday OR ELSE!

I am writing this in a volcano, well that's what it feels like. I seem to have been hugging a fan for days! It's the UK, anything over 20 degrees Celsius is declared an inferno, lol.

In more important news, here is Enforcer Ted from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, cos it's DT friday!

Colouring fur brings me Joy, and I am not making any excuses. When we went to see Secret Life of Pets 2 I was thrilled to find out that fur colourist is an ACTUAL JOB. And now I have new goals, lol!

Here is Ted in the shop (Only £1 too!) -

And here is my version of him -

This is all polychromo pencils apart from the ultra white glint in his eyes and nose that is white posca paint. The card I used is called Hessian Buff.  The font is called Unknown Caller BT. Background paper was from a recent Making Cards Magazine. Wooden Bling is a new release from Docrafts, Bare Basics.

Thanks for joining me today! You can go now because I need this fan all to myself and it's too hot to share for any longer ;) Pop to the Dr.Digi shop, where there is plenty of cool stuff!

With great beard....

...comes great responsibility! Always loved this quote, not sure I can claim it's from Voltaire..or Churchill...or Spiderman (lol)  or who ever you attribute with the original, but...it's pretty close, lol! :D

This is Silas from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and I have given him a magnificent rainbow beard! He is coloured just with polychromos this time.

Silas Digistamp that I have used looks like this -

My version of him (remarkably unaltered!) - 

Silas also comes in some other cool formats, as part of the beer set, as pre-coloured, as a soccer fan and with his wife!

I used backing paper which was a freebie with Making Cards Magazine and the fonts Inkfree and Koulouri for the sentiment.  I added some white posca pen highlights just to the text.

I don't think I changed anything about this digi, just added texture and patterns to things and thoroughly enjoyed working on his beard!

Watercolour flowers

I have been trying out a lot of watercolour tutorials on youtube recently and decided to rescue a few off cuts from some of my flower practice pieces and turn them into simple cards.

I used Gansai Tambi Watercolour Paints on cheap watercolour paper. Don't think it's worth upgrading my paper until I get a bit better, lol!

I used printable velum for the sentiments. Font is Bernadette Rough.

I am going to keep practising! I think at some point I must get better if I keep going! No signs of that yet, lol!
