Third Tuesday LMMS Post! - with added foxes.

Hello again! Back on a tuesday with some gorgeous Little Miss Muffet Stamps digi action! And this time is Celeste Amberglow Winter Woods. Yes, you are correct, I chose her cos of the fox. I am that predictable :)

This is such an incredibly pretty stamp, I really wanted to work hard to do her justice. I also was super keen to try out some new textures, so the boots have two textures and I wanted to add fur trims to the hoody. The greeting is simple because I am going to send her to a friend later on this year. (Font is Breamcatcher). As normal I used polychromo pencils on kraft card.

I added some glossy accents to her eyes and some stickles to the hearts on her hoody just to bling her up a bit, tho I was very tempted to leave her completely plain. Pearly gems around her were ancient stash finds. Used a new paper pad for the backing paper - Retro Feelings by Craft Sensations (Which claims to be doublesided, but unfortunately isn't!). I liked the colours in this paper tho, and thought it went well with the image.

There are so many ways to colour Celeste, I felt really inspired and just wanted to colour her again afterwards! If she tempts you, here she is in the shop:

Thanks very much for reading this far! If you would like the chance to win a voucher to spend in the LMMS shop, why don't you take part in the next LMMS Challenge on the Challenge Blog? Also a nice way to see some inspiration from the Design Team for using the stamps!

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 :)

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.

2 Cute Ink Week Part 2.

Back again with "2 Cute Ink Week" and Winter Fox! I admit.... I fell in love with his tail.

I decided it was time to start on christmas and doesn't he make an amazing christmas card?? I love foxes... they are actually good at any time of year! It was so easy to go to town on his tail! So many different ideas for colouring it but I went for major volume and slightly wiry.... did I achieve it?

I used polychromo pencils on kraft, and bit of added white posca pen and some green stickles. The fonts are Segoe Script and PT Barnum.

If you would like to purchase Winter Fox, you can find him in the 2 Cute Ink Shop here.

Kimono Girl by LBBS

Back again with another cross post from here to the Little Blue Button Stamps Blog. More adulting! :D

I'm loving being on the Little Blue Button DT, so many awesome images to pick from. This time I went with Kimono Girl. I am particularly partial to any fabulous fox digi, and this has additional cuteness too!

 

I love this quote from Pinterest and thought something "friendy" was perfect for this sweet image. I coloured her with polychromo pencils on kraft card. She was really lovely to colour, particularly her awesome hair, lots of space to work on your hair colouring techniques! The font I used is called Bernadette Rough.

 

I added some Stickles sparkle to her dress and some Nuvo Jewel Drops to the fox's nose. I also popped on some Wink of Stella to the fan, which shows up nicely in real life.

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 red pearls from the stash.

Can't wait to get colouring on the next image, I think I might be a bit addicted to colouring LBB Stamps!

Messing with things!

Been really inspired to have a go at some of the techniques used on the current trend of CAS (Clean and Simple) cards. Also went to my friend Helen's who has some of the latest crafty goodies to play with. Made four cards in our messing session and this is the first. (Will blog all of them eventually!)

So this is a watercolour background (Could be done one layer but I used watercolour paper and matted/layered it) with a cute animal digi, greeting stamped onto vellum and sequin embellis!

Background: Gansai Tambi Watercolour Paints.
Fox coloured with: Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens
