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!

The Vikings are coming!

Quick hide your gold and lock up your daughters the Dr.Digi Vikings are coming! As there is a week long event with Dr.Digi's House of Stamps on the Kit and Clowder Facebook page, with a general theme of Boys vs Girls, I thought I would whip up a card using a very strong female character ready for battle!  If you would like to take part in the event on Kit and Clowder, and win some stamps, you can use the two links here and here join in.

I have combo'd two digistamps to make this card. One is called Brünnhilde and the other is called Land ho! I just printed them out on the same piece of kraft card stock with a slight over lap, and sketched in a bit of scenery to unite them. Image is coloured with polychromo pencils

I don't know why the lighting was completely different on this pic, why does that happen! doh!

I used a bit of a Viking birthday song for my sentiment. The font is Treasure Map Deadhand. The paper was a freebie set from Craftseller magazine called Cocktail Party. I know, not the most appropriate name to match my vikings, lol.

I added in a few Viking patterns to the armour and weapons and generally enjoyed myself whilst I coloured them up! Good luck if you take part in the giveaway on Kit and Clowder and I hope you can join us in the Dr.Digi facebook group for inspo posts all this week!

Free Floral Digi

This card was made using the free floral digi when you subscribe to email updates from Kit and Clowder (one of the best places for colouring classes, guidance and community).  It's a lovely image and I coloured it up with Copics and added lettering to fit the commissioned request.

Flowers are coloured with copics, there is a layer of decoupage too.  I added diecut circles to the centre (there is a circle in the centre in the original digi too, but slightly smaller). Font is Courier. Pearls from the stash and the background paper is from Tonic Mid Summer Mornings 8x8 pack.
