All tied up!

Decided to colour up one of Dr.Digi's new releases for my DT Friday and I really enjoyed working on Tangled Trotsky!

Here is the digi in the shop:

And here is my version close up:

I also used the green version from Sepia Stripes for my backing paper this time. It suddenly dawned on me that I could print it straight onto my card blank rather than printing it out to stick on, doh! Why haven't I done that before, lol! So quick and easy! This is defo my fav backing paper set at the moment, but Dr.Digi has so many!

As normal everything is coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card. I used white posca pen for highlights. Font is Little Lord Fontleroy (I think, will edit later if not). 

Thanks for joining me today! I'm having Internet problems so I'm going to end this post a little early and try and upload from my phone. Technology eh?? Lol. 

Extra LBBS post!

Popping by with an extra Little Blue Button Stamps post this month! (X-post to the LBBS Blog) Excited to share with you Miss Lilly Kitty. Inspired by my friend Grace's KPop Top! :D

I normally avoid black, if I can, I find it's much slower to build up enough black for it to be clearly black but also enough shade so it's got highlights and shadows. If you get it wrong it's just grey. This is using polychromo pencils, as normal.

I did the fur technique on the hat and loved how it came out! I think it night be the star of the show, so I tried hard to match the awesomeness in her outfit too! lol! I found a Shimelle bling heart to use for the nose, thought it was a more interesting change in texture than leaving my coloured version.

Here she is in the shop so you can see how she looked before I went in with the black and rainbow! She was super easy to colour, loved doing her and think I could use her for loads of different occassions, adult and kids cards alike.

Just popped on Pinterest to find a quote about being Awesome that I thought my friend would like :) The Font is Scooby Doo, I used it as an outline too for the rainbow lettering.

The Stars are stickers from one of the poundshop places. They are actually really nice and enamel feeling so if I see some more I will be buying them! :) Background paper from the stash.

There are a lot more creations by the DT team and customers if you go to the LBBS facebook page. Loads of inspiration too! Click the link below.

Sweet Dreams

(Cross post to LBB Blog!) Always love it when it's the 8th of the month and I can share by Little Blue Button DT pick with you! This beautiful digistamp is called Sweet Dreams!

I know this digi would be awesome for baby-congrats cards and young birthday cards but I also wanted to pair it up with a warm yet enduring proverb! It's such a sweet image!

I coloured her up with polychromos, some posca pen, some glossy accents and some stickles. It doesn't need to be limited to pinks but I thought with the gold it would add to the warmth!

Background paper from the stash. Font is East Coast Stationery. Bling from Shimelle.

Here she is in the shop if you would like to see her in digi format before I went mad with my crayoning lol! So looking forward to trying this out again in cool blues!

Why not join us on facebook and see some more of the fab LBB stamps and the design team projects?

All dressed up - bride and groom.

Commissioned Wedding Congrats Card for the couple I recently made wedding invites for. This beautiful image is from All Dressed Up, and it was the only one that I thought was cute, but not saccharine or sickly or animé!

This stamp is called "Over The Moon", I had to remove the text when I printed it because I knew it was going to get at least partially covered. I printed it onto kraft card and coloured it with polychromos. Her invites were on kraft card, and had bunting, so I wanted to included them somewhere in this card too.

Here is a close up of the centre of the card.

Papers were all from the stash, and mainly freebies from magazines. Flowers from Prima and Wild Orchid. Stars from Shimelle. Bling from stash.

Dies used
Joy - Clouds
Die'sire - Traditional Bunting
X-cut - Butterfly
Marianne - Bird LR0137

Frenchie!

Had a fun order from a customer to make a first birthday card for her French Bulldog. He is called Ted :) I used an outline of a frenchie, masked it off and used Gansai Tambi Watercolour Paints to make a background, washing around and flicking.

 

I ended up cutting out the masked area and layering the image onto black card. Added a hand drawn banner and some Shimelle enamel stars. Card blank was gold to match some of the gold watercolour I used for the flicking, shows up better in real life :)
