Beau and more later....(Part 1)

Sharing a pair of cards today featuring two of the newly released stamp sets from Barbara Sproatmeyer! She is one of the artists/illustrators at Whimsy Stamps and Beau (and later Colton) are two new Polka Dot Pals released today! Both with an artsy vibe!

Here is Beau, she has spent all day decorating her brother's (Colton!) art studio. I like to invent a little narrative as I colour. I know, it's bonkers. There is a clue to the geographical location of this studio within the picture!

Apart from the sentiment, masking tape and room background all of these stamps are part of the set! Just tonnes of options for creating a decorating or painting scene with them. I was spoilt for choice.

Here is the full stamp set:

And here is my creation close up:

She is on kraft card and I coloured her with polychromo pencils. I added a few touches of white posca paint and white gel pen. Sentiment made on the computer and is Mister Sirloin font.

I didn't have a background paper that I liked so I made one! I used distress oxides also on kraft paper and then cut down to size. This is one of my most used Hero Arts Sets, Brush Strokes AC026.

Bling was from the stash, and I am really happy with how she came out - adding a smear of paint on her face really made me happy with her!

Thanks for joining me for this post, in a couple of hours I will post part 2, Beau's brother Colton! Why not check out Barbara's blog to see her makes with the new releases next?

Masterpiece

Welcome back to the blog and another Dr.Digi friday! And I went a bit off-piste today and not only coloured on white card, but also made a digital background. I know, I must be sick;)

This is Pablo the Painter. He may produce works that are not entirely genuine. I don't think Picasso is going to worry too much about his copy of the Portrait of Dora Maar though!

(Click the picture for a larger & better view)

So I swiped some famous paintings from google image search and made a gallery background for Pablo. I superimposed Pablo to make sure I was colouring him and the floor the correct size.

Here is the digistamp as in the shop (there are two versions, the other has a blank canvas):

And here is my version:

Then I coloured just Pablo and the floor on plain white card using polychromo pencils. Afterwards I slowly and painfully cut it out. (lol!)

I then re-edged some of the black outline of the stamp so it didn't get so lost in the background.

Finally I matted and layered it onto black card and then a white 18x18cm card blank. I made a little sentiment banner using Mister Sirloin font and attached it over the floor. Was a bit grumpy about covering that much beautifully coloured woodwork though, lol!

Thanks for joining me today! Why not pop to the Dr.Digi shop and see what inspires your to be artistic?

ALIEN DAY Part 4/4

The fourth and final card for Dr.Digi Alien Day and here is Xfiles Xmas Alien in his fourth and most festive get up.
All four cards are CAS cards, with a simple Xmas greeting (In Mister Sirloin Font) and here is card four!

I have to credit my partner with this idea. Just for once it wasn't my fault that I added some bits and pieces to the digi image! He made me do it! lols! All I did was print out the digi with some much paler sections so I could go outside the lines and draw in a few clothes/beards!

Coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card with some help from a white posca pen. Once coloured I mounted him onto a 7x5 cardbase and add some stickles and bling from the stash.

So as it's Alien day, the Boss has released a secret alien code for you to use at checkout in the NEW Dr.Digi's shop!!

ALIEN Day Part 3/4

This is my third project for  Dr.Digi Alien Day and here is Xfiles Xmas Alien in his third and far more prickly outfit!
All four cards are CAS cards, with a simple Xmas greeting (In Mister Sirloin Font) and here is card three!

So as Xfile Xmas Alien is probably consider a "Grey" I thought it was about time to do a grey version! But also, his skin is inspired by reptile skin!

Coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card with some help from a white posca pen. Once coloured I mounted him onto a 7x5 cardbase and add some stickles and bling from the stash.

ALIEN Day Part 2/4

The second part of my line up for Dr.Digi Alien Day and here is Xfiles Xmas Alien once again.
All four cards are CAS cards, with a simple Xmas greeting (In Mister Sirloin Font) and here is card two!

Not so traditional Alien, in fact he is inspired by a ambilobe panther chameleon! (I had to research chameleons for a card I made for Little Blue Button Stamps, and this one was my favourite spectacular finds!) 

Coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card with some help from a white posca pen. Once coloured I mounted him onto a 7x5 cardbase and add some stickles and bling from the stash.

It's ALIEN Day! Part 1/4

Or Alan day as autocorrect suggested! So helpful! Today has been declared Dr.Digi Alien Day (by me!) and I have four projects to share with you today. They all feature the Xfiles Xmas Alien and they are CAS cards, with a simple Xmas greeting (In Mister Sirloin Font) and here is card one!

Traditional Christmas Alien Styley. Yes, it's a real thing.

They are all coloured with polychromo pencils on kraft card with some help from a white posca pen. Once coloured I mount them onto a 7x5 cardbase and add some stickles and bling from the stash.

Car-card!

Popping in with a car quickie! Made this CAS Car Card (hard to say when you're drunk!) for my brother who has had a new car. My Mum passed me the details, I asked for some deets so I could add  some accuracy to the car and she told me... it's blue! The full technical response, lol! 

So I found a free clip art car, printed it out and coloured it with copics (and a white posca pen), then cut it out. I printed out a banner in Mister Sirloin font. I did some watercolour blobbing directly onto a 7x5 card blank (with Gansai Tambi Watercolours). I fussy cut out the car windows and popped a mirrored style paper behind. Then I assembled. Job done. Made two, cos, why not? 

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.
