Lady Elusia

Sharing a gorgeous newly released digi from Sweet November Stamps. She is part of the new Ladies of All Hallow's Eve Collection and she is called Lady Elusia!

Isn't she fabulous??? I was so excited to get to have a go at colouring tattoos, plus there was the added bonus of a dragon! Because I like a challenge I also opted to do a gathered seam on the dress and a tatami mat floor!

Loved these colours, working with deep rich jewel shades is my favourite colour combo. I also have more Asian influenced background paper than you can shake a stick at, so it was nice to use some of that too. 

She is coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card. For a change I didn't use "no lines colouring" technique, I needed some extra help to make sure I got the tattoos in the right places, lol!

I have used this quote on a card before and it's a bit of a favourite. I think it's a nice supportive message when friends might need a bit of a pick me up and reminding that you believe they're awesome!

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you've got time to pop into the Sweet November Stamp Shop and look at all the other amazing images there are to chose from!

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!

Dragon Part 3.

Final two dragon cards using the Greyboard dragons from Inkylicious. Dragon's painted in acrylics and then Nuvo Jewel Drops used for scales. I've used some stickles on the red dragon and gilding flakes on the yellow dragon.

Both backgrounds are made using distress inks.
Dies are Grass Border from Lawn Fawn and aMemory Box landscape die.
Font on the left is Cleric, Font on the right is Blackadder.

Dragons Part 2.

Another couple of cards from the set of Dragon cards I made. Once again the Greyboard Dragons from Inkylicious are painted with acrylic paint and have scales made from Nuvo Jewel Drops. I also added some stickles to the wings on the red dragon.

On the green dragon's wings I also used some Gilding Flakes. Backgrounds are all in distress inks.

Font on the right is: Bleeding Cowboys.
Font on the left is: Bernadette Rough.

Diecuts are Joy Xmas tree and house border and Lawn Fawn Grass Border.

Dragons part 1.

I bought some fab Greyboard Dragons from Inkylicious at the last "Craft Shopping Event" we went to and got completely distracted making a set of inky dragon cards for fun! Here are the first two.

     
Backgrounds are distress inks and water. Dragons are painted with acrylics and then Nuvo jewel drops added for scales. Diecut trees from Joy (Xmas tree and house border). Font is Bernadette Rough.

Catnips Kitties!

I always make a batch of catnip toys to sell at the Christmas Fair. I am working on some drawings for a set of new digis based around Furry Tails (Fairy Tales) and thought I would make a few catnip toys using those as designs.

Here is Catmodo Dragon, Purrmaid, Kittycorn and Frog Pawrince!

Just have a few Kitticorns left over which I shall probably gift to friends with cats over Christmas. :)

Guild Wars 2

Another commission card today, and this time the theme was "Guild Wars 2", which if like me, you are not down with the kids, you might need to know is an on line role playing game :) Because I don't know much about it, I went with a safe option, to use the dragon image that is in the games logo.

I digitally traced/contoured the image and then added text to the file. I printed it out onto hammered cardstock (looks like watercolour paper) and then used distress inks like watercolours to fill in the dragon shape. I added red enamel bling and then 3D foam mounted it onto a 6x6 blank card.
