Pastures New.

Hi Everyone! You may already be aware that I have been having some problems with Facebook treating my blog as inappropriate or a spam URL. It's been 3 weeks now and in the that time I decided to set up a new blog on Wordpress for a short-term fix. After a while I decided that maybe a move to Wordpress was a good long-term plan! The new blogger.com interface is pretty awful imho and whilst moving everything between platforms is hard work, I think the results on Wordpress look much more professional than here. Would you like to sign up to my new blog?  Currently I am keeping this blog in case it's ever released from Facebook Cancel Prison but I won't be posting here again until then.

More Alice!

Hi again, it's been a while since I have shared a Sweet Escape Digis stamp, but I always enjoy colouring them. This is Alice, part two, because Berenice (from Sweet Escape) kindly sent me both because I ordered the wrong one, lol. Thank you!

***NEWSFLASH - You can get 40% off your entire order by using code FALL40 at check out in the Sweet Escape Etsy Shop, or use this link to have it automatically applied!***

Here is the original digistamp:

And here is my version:

As you can see I did a major crop!  Her proportions would be perfect for the very trendy skinny card option but because I wanted to add so much detail I printed her out much larger, and that didn't given room for the legs, lol. My card is 17 cm x17 cm.

She is coloured with polychromos and a touch of posca paint on her eyes. Background paper is from Making Cards Magazine.

 I am super excited to announce another card and digistamp giveaway but this time with Faery Ink Art and Design! Have you ever been and had a good look thru the Faery Ink Etsy Shop? Soooo many amazing images that look really exciting to colour up! 

I loved colouring Little Mermaid Queen, and my card is part of the top prize along with 3 free digistamps of your choice from the Faery Ink Shop!

Here is the Little Mermaid Queen digistamp that I worked with:

And here is my version:

As normal its all polychromo pencils on kraft card with a bit of white posca pen and stickles! Not done the white spot dandruff hair for a while and I think it works ok on a mermaid, lol!

Really happy with how her tail came out, I think it's my best version using this method yet, but would like to get it down to an exact formula before I share how I do it, make it as easy as possible!

The background paper is recoloured but original is from Making Cards Magazine. Font is Candy Buzz BTN. Bling was from Hobbycraft, it's an awesome mermaid type set, defo would recommend!

I had such a good time colouring up this stamp, I hope I can send her to a loving new home soon! Please feel free to enter wherever you can. Details on how to take part are in the giveaway post wherever you head to! Good Luck!

Videogames!

  Hi everyone! I am back with a Dr.Digi DT Friday, had a week off as I was on my holibobs, a socially-distanced, well-detolled mainly outdoor holibob! Whilst I was there I coloured up Videogame Vince, but didn't get very long each evening and as the seaside air rather knocks me out! lol! Here he is...

Here he is the shop:

And here is my version:

To accompany him I also used the free UFO digistamp and the Invader Dots background paper.

There were so many opportunities to add some texture on this digi, as you know I really love doing that. I did also have him in a string vest at one point but it was sooooo hard to do on such small sections of vest that I am going to try again on another digi, lol!

If you like these videogame digis and papers, there is also a really cool money saving Tech Set, including papers, digis and sentiments!

This time I made my own sentiment using 256 Bytes font and added it to my topper. Images coloured with polychromo pencils. I print my background paper from Dr.Digi's straight onto a 300 gsm white cardstock so I can use it to make my card blank without messing around with extra paper.

Thanks for joining me today! Hope you like his stripy pants!
