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!

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.

Coffee Time!

Two best words to hear ever - Coffee Time! I admit it's always coffee time at my house! This super digi is from Sweet Escape Digis and I was lucky enough to colour her up as a GDT project.

Magically Dark

Hi again! Another GDT post today for Sweet Escape Digis, and this is Dark Fairy! Really happy with her horns! I enjoyed doing the wings too.

Remember to always check the Sweet Escape Facebook Page for the latest offers! There may even be free digistamps with your purchase!

As I write this the current offer is 5 digis for $5, here is a link to the post in the facebook group with all the details of how to take advantage of this offer.

Here she is as a digi:

And here is my version in polychromo pencils on smooth kraft card:

I had been discussing colouring faces with a crafty friend and particularly using make-up videos on youtube where they describe how to do facial contouring. I knew Dark Fairy was going to get some strong facial bone structure so was able to share her as an example of what I mean. Watching make up videos is really useful,  they show you how to alter the shape of your face through make up which applies perfectly to colouring too!

Backing paper from Making Cards Magazine. I used a white posca pen for highlights.

Why not check out the Sweet Escape Digi shop for more magical creatures?

Are you brave enough?

Hi all! Popping on the blog today to share a colouring of a super digi "Merida" from Sweet Escape Digis!

This is a fan image, so not for sale but if you purchase from the shop you can get it as a freebie! It is always worth checking the Sweet Escape Digis Facebook Page for info on the latest offers!

(Click here for a direct link to the offer details and instructions in the facebook group.)

Currently you can get 5 digis for $5 AND this awesome fan image. Shop here!
(Allow 12 hours after purchase to receive the extra digistamp).

I admit, I just wanted to colour her hair! I also admit, I went wrong, and actually straight through the cardstock because I re-did an area too many times for the strength of my paper. Oops! However she still takes an okay photo but I don't think I can really give her to anyone now, erf.

As normal she is coloured with polychromo pencils on smooth kraft card with white posca pen highlights. I didn't pair her with a sentiment, was going to add it afterwards, but now she'll probably just end up in my art scrapbook as a nice memory.

Backing paper from Making Cards Magazine. Triangle enamel bling from La De Dah.

Thanks for joining me today! Please check out the Sweet Escape Digi Shop for many more super images that will be a joy to colour!

Cupcake!

Hi everyone! So much time to colour and no end of gorgeous digis from Sweet Escape Digis! Have you been to their shop to see all the lovely options? I really enjoyed colouring up this Cupcake with Cherries and Bow.

This is polychromo pencils on kraft card. Background paper from Making Cards Magazine. A few touches of white posca pen to give highlights. Bling from the stash.

(Tempted? Make sure to check in the Sweet Escape Facebook Group before you make your purchase, there's often an offer on!)

Here is the digi in the shop:

Here is my version:

I decided to add some glossy accents on the cherries after I took these pics, and might add some sprinkles later too, lol!

Fonts are Bernadette Rough and Bodoni MT Black as an outline, coloured with pencils inside. 

Thanks for joining me today! I have really enjoyed GDT'ing for Sweet Escape, hopefully some more to come soon!

Living without the gym...

I admit, not being able to go to the gym during lock-down has affected me 0% but I am sure some people are really feeling it right now.

Really enjoyed colouring up this digistamp from Sweet Escape Digis that I downloaded for free last year as an offer from Kit and Clowder. (Check their facebook for a new Sweet Escape Freebie!) Luckily if you can't time travel you can at least now get her via the Sweet Escape Shop. She is called Sporty Layla.

Just a quick mention, the fabulous Sweet Escape digistamp packs are on sale in the shop now!

She is coloured with polychromo pencils on smooth kraft card. She is super quick and easy to colour up, I really recommend her if you want a speedy colouring to do! She'd be great for teenage cards and you could add a personalisation or brand name on her take-out cup! I'm tempted to add some fake glitter to the cup!  Loads of ideas for her.

Here is the digistamp in the shop ( She has a bit more body in the shop version, I didn't crop her!) :

And here is my version:

The font I have used is East Coast Stationary, one of my favs! Background paper is a beautiful mandala print from Making Cards Magazine March 2019. Love these colours.

I got the enamel star bling from one of the pound shops, I always pop and look in their "kids craft" section to see what might be re-purposed, does every crafter do that? lol.

Thank you for joining me today, I recommend popping to the Sweet Escape shop at least to look at the super value packs available. And check out the Sweet Escape Facebook Page for the latest offers!

Flowery Owl

Hi everyone, not a catchupmageddon post today, something I have finished and framed and gifted to my Mum for her 80th birthday.

This beautiful stamp is from Sweet Escape Digis and is just called "Owl".

Here is what it looks like before colouring -

And my version:

Tempted to have a go? Remember to check the Sweet Escape Facebook Group before you purchase as there is often a money-off code (40% at the moment!) and also information on freebies you will be sent when you purchase digis. As I write this there is also an additional giveaway for physical stamps that is worth checking out. All the low down! lol :D

I coloured this with polychromo pencils on white cardstock (for a change!) and it took me quite a while, I've been colouring it in between other projects. I love looking at other peoples coloured flowers but I am not so keen on doing my own, lol!

I used some white posca pen for highlights in the eyes and on the berries. I selected real flowers to use as inspiration for colouring the wreath, gerberas, sunflowers, stargazer lilies and frangipani. I similarly used real photos of owls to help with the pattern created with the feathers.

This was a 18x18cm piece so I framed it up rather than making it into a card. I used a plain white box frame from Hobbycraft. (They are half price currently.)

Thanks for joining me today, so pleased to finally finish this piece and share it with you! I hope you are tempted by it and would love to see how you get on!
