Lifeguard Lynn

Morning - so I've had chance to catch up on a little colouring this week and played with this new image called Lifeguard Lynn from Dr Digi. I also used the Lifebelts paper.

Now for some reason my mojo for using the coloured up images to make a card is struggling a bit of late. So I'm letting myself of the hook a bit by making them up and stepping away till I think of how to complete them. No point in messing it up. 

 

What do you do when your mojo is low?

All for now, Liz (:(|)x

Bundles of Joy

Morning - 
This time next week is Mothers Day here in ol'Blighty so I though I would do a lovely traditional image of a Mum from Dr Digi! She really is a classy lady this one but I'm sure there are many out there who would find this image hilarious. And even funnier... It is called Bundles of joy! I think many Mums will relate to the situation even if they don't quite have this look going on!! 

 The image is called Bundles of Joy and I have used a My Favourite things die to cut around her. The image is colored with Copics and the base card is covered in paper from Lawn Fawn. I drew the wobbly lines around the edges with a fine line marker. The greeting is stamped and stuck above a die cut gold star with 3D foam. 

I hope you like this card and it makes you chuckle as it did me!

Growing Up is optional

Hello -
I am sharing you a card I made for the Father in Laws birthday last weekend. I loved this sentiment and thought this image called Duncan Disorderly was perfect to go with it.

 

Curious how the "creative process" works (Not really sure I can call what I do something so professional...!!) I wonder if you build a card or pick an image around an idea or something in your craft stash or if like me you as I just colour and see what happens!!

I used dies, Striped paper and the stamped sentiment from My Favourite things. I coloured the image with copics and the letters are Thickers from American Crafts.

I hope you like Duncan and I will be back next Sunday with more fab Dr Digi images,

Office dude.

Morning All!
I'm sorry my picture isn't too great.... We are mid house renovations and this weekend I have had to pack up my craft room and office so I don't have my daylight bulbs for photos.
Anyway it seems rather apt that when I lose my creative space for a short time I colour up 
Hector the Hipster  from Dr Digi who is sat looking all trendy at his desk and laptop. So I have set up a few essentials in the living room - just to keep me going till our extension is finished. 

I've coloured the image with copics and cut him out with a My Favourite things stitched wonky rectangle die.

I hope you like him and will share any of your creations with us.

I must have Flowers

Morning - There is a new challenge starting at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Flowers. I have used this image called The Florist with a greeting from Dear Lizzy that says I must have flowers.
I recently had a big birthday and got lots of lovely flowers from friends. My favourite flowers are peonies and anmeonies.
I used paper from American Crafts Dear Lizzy Stay colourful collection and I used both sides of the sheet. I covered the join with lace and mounted everything on lilac satin board. I used flowers from The Ribbon Girl to make a bouquet and tied a small bow around it.

 I coloured the image with Copics and die cut the image with a My Favourite Things Square die.

I hope you like this card and will join in the with challenge at The Paper Shelter.
See you soon,

Think Happy Thoughts

Morning -  For todays card I have coloured Commuter Colin from Dr Digi. There is so much going on in this image so I kept the card really simple.
I covered the base card with Black & white striped paper from My Favourite things and then die cut the image using My Favourite things stitched wonky rectangle die.
I stamped a greeting from Mama Elephant and mounted this onto red and used 3d foam to attach it to the card. I used some silver pen to add detail and a few card candy from Craftworks card.

I used so many copics that I didn't even try to keep track of which ones! I figure with this one - just play and see what happens!

Have a lovely day - I am actually on the second day of a copic colouring course with Faye Wynn Jones and the Dies to Die For shop - So I will be learning lots of fab new combos and techniques to share with you!
