The final panda of 2019

Hi again friends! I hope you have had a lovely festive period (if you celebrate it) and are looking forward to 2020? This is probably my final card and post for 2019 and I'm happy to be sharing the Cuddly Critters Panda from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. I have added a speech bubble and he is saying "Hello!"

I don't know if you remember but I felted him earlier in the year and was quite looking forward to colouring him too!

Just an important bit of shopping enabler info, the Cuddly Critters Panda is also part of a bargain buy Cuddly Critters Set and it's a massive saving if you do fancy it. Just saying ;)

Here is the digi I used -

And here is my version of that digi -

I had a fair few disasters with him, colouring did not go smoothly! But I'm hoping they are not too noticeable!? Sometimes crafting can be a bit testing can't it? lol.

I printed out the topper on the computer, combining the digi with a silhouette of some bamboo and a speech bubble saying "hello". Does you smart phone do that thing where you can hold it over text and it converts it to your own language? I am still completely gobsmacked by it every time I do it! 

I coloured him up with polychromo pencils as usual and some white posca pen for the highlights in his eyes and on his nose. Background paper is from Making Cards Magazine.

Thanks for joining me today, and perhaps joining me throughout 2019. Hopefully see you in the New Year!

Cosbucks?

Hi everyone! (Cross post to LBBS Blog) It's the 8th of the month so I am here with my new Little Blue Button DT project and... it's a PANDA! :D Or more specifically, Panda with cup! I love him, he was such fun to colour and I loved making him a bit coffee themed.

Happened to be at my friend Toni's house when I coloured this one up and she suggested the drink be from the famous brand "Cosbucks". Made me chuckle so I decided to include it, along with this little coffee related saying!

So this is polychromos on kraft. I added white posca pen hightlights and some glossy accents to the eyes. Around him and splodges of stickles and Nuvo jewel drops.

And here he is the shop if you are tempted? There are so many things you could do with this little guy, I kinda fancy doing something a bit more interesting with the glass part of his specs next, so may need to colour him again very soon!

Or why not check out the shop to see more great digis?
