Deep Sea Doug

Hi all! It's Dr.Digi time again and I have Deep Sea Doug to share with you! :D Also, I always seem to need more Minecraft cards, does anyone else have that problem? :)

Doug is a very flexible digi, he comes in a few different versions and even in a fabulous set, complete with matching papers and even a pre-coloured mine, so you could skip colouring that bit if you wanted, a bit of a time saver?

I coloured him in polychromo pencils and added a few highlights using a white Posca Pen. The background paper is from Lawn Fawn (Perfectly Plaid 6x6) and the font is Courier New.

Here he is in close up and this is what the digi looks like. It's unlike me, but I have stuck very close to the original, he is packed with detail so you can really enjoy just following the guidelines in the stamp.

Hope this has inspired you to have ago, or even just to have a go at colouring copper! I want to do a verdigris copper something next time I get some metal to colour, tho I think I might need to find a tutorial to help me out :D

G&T

A  Pop-Up Box Birthday Card I made for customer, who wanted it themed for Gin and Tonic, plus sunflowers and dollhouses! When the box was flat and folded up, it looked like a miniature house!

How does your garden grow?

Quick easel card using the Hunkydory, How does your garden grow, craft stack.

I actually purchased this stack quite recently, on first glance it seemed filled with ideas and potential but on reflection, it's only really useful for a particular style of card, and doesn't really match other things I have for gardeny cards. In most cases, the pop outs are foiled, and it's really hard to match foiled items with non-foiled. This gardening apron is one of the few non-foiled toppers. Not worth the purchase price, but you live and learn!

Christening.

A simple christening card commission. I found a free Celtic cross image on google, and used it as an SVG file for my cutting machine. I also cut out a shadow image to use behind it.

The papers were very hard to photograph, slightly pearlised creams and silvers. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Studio.

I don't often get asked to make religious cards, I thought keeping it simple was probably the best bet!

Up in the Air!

Quick card I made using MFT's Up in the Air stamp set :)

The stamps are coloured with copics. The background is distress inks and a homemade cloud mask and the background is from a Perfectly Plaid Lawn Fawn 6x6 paper set.

LBB - Lilly and Toby Sitting

Back with an extra Little Blue Button Stamps blogpost because I couldn't resist colouring Miss Lilly and Toby Sitting! (X-post with the LBBS Blog)

Decided to go with rainbow and run with the chameleon changing colour vibe! This is coloured in polychromo pencils. I added the wall for her to sit on. Here is the original stamp -

And here as a close up of her -

I really enjoyed colouring her (as usual, she is super easy to colour!) and the rainbow dress was worth the effort, I hope! :)  I didn't add any bling or glossy accents, thought all the rainbowness was probably enough to look at!

Backing paper is a magazine freebie. Font is Honey Script. 3D foam layered onto a 7x5 card blank.

Making Cards Mag - Freebies

Really liked this set of flowery freebie papers that came with July's Making Cards Magazine, and so far I have made two cards with it. One generic birthday card pretty much following one of the suggested layouts....

Font is October Twilight.

.... and another using a different colour selection, for a wedding card order I had in. The building in the centre is the venue for the wedding.

Fonts are Honey Script and Gloucester MT Extra.

Golden Wedding

Had in an order for a Golden Wedding Card for a couple who got married at Sutton Maddock Church in Shropshire. I decided to go a bit shabby vintage-ish with it and here it is -

It's a bit more successful in real life, because it's got a lot of dimension (it's almost an inch thick, oops!) but the church is a photo I tinted with inks (and distressed) and cut into layers to make a decoupage picture of Sutton Maddock Church. (Hope they recognise it!) Then I dry brushed gold onto the flowers, so there is a lot more gold catching the light when you look at it. Not sure it looks very gold at all on this photo!

I have used some wood effect paper from the stash, some blue paper from a magazine freebie and the hessian look background is actually a piece of window blind material. Added the gold just with acrylic paint. I think the flowers were a job lot from QVC! :) 

Tiger Tiger...

Quick post with a card I made for a recent order. The theme was TIGERS! :D The recipient is such a beautiful little boy, and defo loves his cuddly tiger. I have now also heard, he really liked this card, so nice to get an update like that! :D

Tiger digi is from Prettygrafikdesign and is part of the line drawing set called "Baby Safari". I coloured him with Zig Watercolour pens, and water. The background is made using Gansai Tambi Watercolours. Font is Mister Sirloin BTN Rare.
