Eurodisney Christmas!

More of the mopping up, this is one of the pop up boxes I made for Christmas with a Euro-Disney theme!

For the main pop up part I used christmassy Mickey heads which I purchased from HeyLenaArts on Etsy. At the time I thought it would be faster and more professional looking that slowly creating my own and I love supporting fellow Etsy artists!

The background images are all Disney themed, photos of the rides, original artwork by Eyvind Earle, (The artwork is amazing, well worth a browse when you have time, I felt very inspired!) and Alice in Wonderland Maze statues etc. I also used a map of the park and the ride wait map from the Disney app.

I used some sticky sparkle sheet sticker over my Mickey heads and some Waltograph font for my greeting.

Bling from the stash as normal. As with all box cards, it folds flat to post!

Not long to catnap....

And Finally the Card!

Right, and finally today I want to share with you the card I have made using the "Catnap" digistamp from Knitty Kitty Digis

As normal this is polychromo pencils on kraft card. I print the image and greeting directly onto a smooth kraft card. I make the digi image pale so I can go over the lines when I colour the fur. (Link to my fur colouring step by step photos -->  here.)

I added a tiny spot of white posca pen to the eyes and nose. Background papers from the stash and bling stars are from Paperchase. Font is Angelina.

Thanks very for making it to the bottom of this very long post! Nice to have so much Knitty Kitty related content to share with you today! I have some new stamps to share soon too! 

Sweet Escape Tuesday No.4

Back once again with some more Sweet Escape Digi joy! - This is Lady Dragon!

Lady Dragon is one of four super digis in the Fantasy Digital Stamps Pack. Here is a look at the actual digi and a link to  her in the shop.

I wanted to go a bit, "mother of dragons" with her, so gave her a kinda GOT theme with the text, and made the bit of hair I could see pale blonde, and gave her violet eyes!

But I'm not sure she is entirely Khalessi! She was beautiful to colour though. I confess, it took me more than one evening to colour her in, but I gave myself a strict colour palette to follow as I was aiming for a rich effect. 

The font is called Game of Thrones and the papers are from Making Cards Magazine. The sequins and ribbon are from the stash and I used stickles, nuvo drops and glossy accents to highlight areas too. It's a pretty big card, I used an 8x8 kraft card blank from Papermania.

Sweet Escape Tuesday Part two!

Back for another special Sweet Escape Tuesday post and this time I bring you the gift of awesome owl-age! :)

Here are Two Cute Owls!

Available in the Sweet Escape Digi Etsy Shop here. They are awesome colour, and I adapted them to be Christmas Cards but you could really use them for anything!

Here they are in digi format, I didn't change much when I coloured them, guides to add detail are all there already.

I coloured both images with polychromo pencils on kraft card and added some dabs of glitter to the flowers and glossy accents on the eyes.

Fonts are Papyrus and Pristina. The backing papers were both from the stash.

Remember - Owls are not just for Christmas! :D

New digi in the shop Me Hearties!

I've been working on ideas for a Furry Tails set for quite a while and am happy to finally get one in the shop to share with you! Here is "Cat'lin Sparrow" (Thank you Laine for the name!)

(He's actually ATC sized in this coloured image!)

 I coloured him with polychromo pencils on kraft card.

And here he is in digi format! Now available in the Etsy shop for $2.

Feel free to pop by the Knitty Kitty Facebook Group Page to see awesome images by the KKD Design Team who have been colouring him up a treat!

Bunoalas live!

Here for a Knitty Kitty Post! After a bit of a bonkers chat with Lea on Instagram the other day, I was challenged to draw a Bunoala, and here they are! Half bunny, half koala, they sleep for 18 hours a day in carrot trees. :D

To buy them on Etsy Click Here :)

I had a go at colouring them up, and in order to use something other than polychromos (My comfort pencil) I did this in Spectrum Noir pencils. Still on kraft card.

Background paper is from a pad by Kanban called Garden Vistas. Font is Atlas of the Magi. I added some glossy accents to their noses too :)

Pop by the shop to purchase!

Lucky Neko

Hi all! Just wanted to share with you today the new Knitty Kitty Digistamp - Lucky Neko! I should have made this post on the 8th Aug, which was International Cat Day! Excuse the lateness.

He is not only available in the shop, but you could also win the digi by taking part in the facebook group and sharing which Knitty Kitty digi you like best.

I had a go at colouring him, in my old fav, polychromo pencils on kraft card. Added a bit of stickles to finish and mounted him onto some Tonic Mid Summer Mornings paper and a 7x5 blank.

I tried to stick to a traditional Lucky Cat colour scheme, including the circular gold and black patterns on his arms and legs, it's wasn't very easy to do and I think it'd be fine to ignore traditional in this case, if you are having a go yourself!

Finally a little close up. I think he looks a pretty friendly lucky chap :)

The Purrmaids!

New release today at Knitty Kitty Digis - The Purrmaids!

Buy the stamp on Etsy here.

To mark 50 members joining the Knitty Kitty Digi Facebook Group we ran a giveaway to choose your own stamp, and Donna won with the suggestion of "Purrmaids". I decided to actually use everyone's suggestions and try and work them all into all the new releases in 2016 and 2017 :) But first, drawing the winner's choice! The KKD Design Team have done some fantastic versions of it already! The stamp comes in four parts, the group scene above and also 3 separate images just featuring each of the purrmaids.

KKD is very lucky to have such a talented Design Team! :)

Kitanic!

New Digistamp on Etsy - Kitanic! - Part of the Time Out Collection.

Really trying to think up some good idea for men's cards! So you can sneak in the kitty theme but still appeal to the men in your life... or the fisherwomen in your life, if you have them... or friends obsessed with the Titanic? :)

This was the original sketch which I watercoloured too.

Kitty Star Sign Set

Super pleased to have a new digistamp set to launch today! It's the astrologically themed kitties in the Star Sign Set! Knitty Kitty fans may recognise the art work from the mug designs I produced for christmas, but I have now converted them into a set of digistamps for you to use in your own projects.

Here is a combo picture showing them all digitally coloured, with link the Etsy listing for the set.

Quick picture of the star sign images as a mug design.

Mugs are £5, please contact me if you are interested in purchasing one :)

The image that was transfered onto the mugs, coloured in copics.
