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. 

Trotsky and his bone!

Happy Friday Folks! Back with another project on my Dr.Digi DT day! This is Trotsky!

I have actually coloured him up before as part of the digi "Perfect Sunday" that used for Making Cards Magazine last year, but it was nice this time to make him the star of the show! Here he is a digistamp -

And here is my version of him, close up! -

As normal he is coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card.  

Background paper from May's edition of Making Cards Magazine.

Greeting made using font Newsflash BB. 

As I was cleaning up my image after I had finished colouring (Just using a standard eraser, one of the great things about polychromos!) I managed to rub away part of my greeting, so I printed it out again and added it with foam tabs. Doh! 

Thanks for joining me today! Hope you have found some inspo in this post and may I enable you with a link to the Dr.Digi shop to see all the other fabulous animal digi's for sale?

Hilda and Hercules

Very happy to be here with a new Dr.Digi DT card! And also happy that it's friday! This is Hilda and Hercules.

I had a real blast colouring this one up, she is a joy to add detail too and he is a fabulously hairy beast! As normal this is polychromo pencils and white posca pen.

I would like to blame Amy Young for making me think I need to add in a bit of a background sometimes, hers are always a-ma-zing, but I just went for a bit of fence, lol!

Here is the original digistamp -

And here is my version (Click on it for a bigger and sharper image!) -

I added the snarky greeting for my Mum who is always asking me if she's shrinking. Even tho I am a very kind child (cough) I do have to say "yes".... shes not quite shorter than her dog yet tho, nor does she has a blue rinse! (Font is Scooby Doo.)

Background paper is ancient and from the stash, it goes a bit better with the card in real life, I promise. Bling also from the stash. 

Thanks very much for joining me today. Hope you have a lovely weekend. And if you are feeling spendy why not pop for a mooch in the Dr.Digi shop?

A little pick me up?

Once again it's Dr.Digi friday on the blog and I am here with Pick Up Pup!  And yes, before you say it... it is a DOG, not a CAT.....oddly it looked a lot more like a dog before I coloured it up, lol! (Just regard it like the blue or gold dress meme!)

Loved colouring this one! I did actually pick a real breed of dog for the colour scheme, and I pretty much stuck to it but.... I see a dog but I am aware of the slightly feline issues! Coloured in as normal with the polychromos and a touch of posca pen! If you are interested in a step by step fur colouring demo you can find it here.

Here is the digi in the shop:

And here is a close up of my version:

Added a sentiment and some stars/bling from the stash to finish. Background paper also from the stash.

That's it for today, thank you for joining me. If you are interested, below is a link to the Dr.Digi's House of Stamps Shop, worth a browse, especially when you need something novel!

Watson found the best seat in the house!

Hi again! It's a friday again, hurrah and I'm back with a Dr.Digi DT card. This digi is called "Best Seat in the House" and Watson is looking beyond comfortable! 

Here is the actual digi in the shop:

And here is a close up of my version:

I coloured him, as normal, with polychromo pencils and decided to go with a marmaladey colour scheme, leaving out several stages at the end of my colouring process where I add in darker/blacker shading and other highlights. The result is flatter but warmer, and I kinda liked it! 

(Fur colouring demo is here.)

The font is Mister Sirloin again, it's beginning to be a bit of a "go to" I feel, but I like how it matches the stamps! I printed the digi and sentiment directly onto the topper and then coloured it.

I 3D foam mounted it onto a 7x5 kraft card blank covered with a wood effect backing paper from the stash. Added a bit of weird bling to finish!

Thanks for joining me today. Please pop by the shop to see all the other cool animal images Dr.Digi has to offer!

Dr. Digi's Pet Selfie Competion - Win 2 digis!

Just sneaking in an extra Dr.Digi DT post today, Grendel was ready for her debut and there is exciting news on the Dr.Digi facebook front that I wanted to share with you!

Excitement first! Go now to the Dr.Digi facebook page and enter to win 2 free digis. All you need to do is take a quick selfie with a pet of your choosing (could be any, there are no standards) and post it. DONE. Easy huh? Click this picture to go straight there.

So for a bit of inspiration and confirming that any old pet will do, here is Grendel. She is obvs a pure bred.....erm..... erm... Pugbullcorgi! :)

Went a bit retro in the styling of this card, been along time since I have gone with flowers and bows, but Grendel deserved special treatment!  The papers are from Dr.Digi too, so match perfectly! And I upscaled one a bit and cut out some of the bones to make some cute embellis!

I used Bernadette Rough for the font, printed it out and then stamped over/around it one of the banners from the Lawn Fawn (LF339) Bannerific set. Then cut it out. Flowery things are all from the stash. As are the ribbony things.

Kind of arched the banner over the ribbons, to make a more 3D effect. The bones are also raised with 3D foam at one end, to make them a bit "poke outy"(the scientific term).

Finally a close up of Grendel! Really like how her fur came out. I added a spot of glossy accents to her nose, so she looked healthy and some stickles to her bow, to add some glamour.

Just want to add that if you like Grendel (as you clearly would) but kinda fancy some human in the digi too, she is also part of a fab digi with her owner Graham. See below!

Suggest you head to facebook now and sort out your selfie for the competition! But maybe you want to peruse the shop a while and decide which digis you are going to pick if you win? Click below to go straight there.

Tyson and Topsy

It's Dr.Digi Friday Time Again! (Did that need to be capitalised?? oh dear, lols) And this is Tyson and Topsy, which I think I won from Dr.Digi's a while back but now I'm on the DT I have a very good excuse to colour them up!

I thought it would also make a cool image for a thank you card!  They are both coloured up in polychromos (think the collar is prolly the best bit!) and I added some glossy accents to Topsy's eyes  and Tyson's nose and some bling from the stash.  Here are a couple of close up of the creatures :)

I haven't made an inner for it yet as I keep having to rephrase the inners when the card gets used, so I many as well leave them blank til they are needed! There's logic in that somewhere! Font is Crazy Girls Blond.

If you'd like to see them in digi format, here you go, and clicking the image will take you to the shop to purchase!

Thanks very much for stopping by! Lots more inspiration for Dr.Digi stamps on the Dr.Digi Facebook Page, click and join ussssss?
