Sleepy Time

Hello - have you seen the new releases over at All Dressed Up? They are gorgeous and there seems to be a theme of sleep! Something I def need more of! I would love to go into hibernation and just wake up when all our building work is finished but that's not going to happen so.... we keep soldiering on!!

I got to play with this cute fox image called Sleepy time  which I coloured with Copics and then added some texture using prisma colour pencils. I die cut the image and used tree paper from Websters pages on a kraft base. I added some lace and a gold greeting from Do Crafts.

I hope you like Foxy - and go to take a look at all the other lovely creations with the beautiful new images.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Dr Digi in Making Cards Magazine.

So I can finally reveal that I have had the cards that I made using Dr Digi images published in  Making Cards Magazine which is out now. In the magazine is a discount code for your to get these fab Christmas images...

 

 

 I used a DoCrafts 12 Days of Christmas Filigree Card blank amd covered the inside with Lawn Fawn Snow day patterened paper. I printed the image which is called Simple Santa onto Super smooth card and coloured the image with Promarkers. I die cut the image using a Lawn Fawn stitiched circle die and attached it to the middle of the card. I used the same die to get the correct shape – arrange the letters from an Alphabet stamp setcalled Harolds Abc into an arc on a stamp block and stamp onto the image panel using Memento Ink. I added some Amercian Crafts Ribbon and then added the greeting from Craftworks cards onto a punched circle. I used diamond stickles to add some sparkle to the snowman and finally added a Holly leaf embellishment from Hobbycraft.


I used these Promarkers and Flexmarkers –

Skin – Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice, with Baby Pink Cheeks.

Trousers & Scarf - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy.

Scarf & Leaves – Emerald, Forest Green, Pine & Holly.

Snowman – Powder Blue

Stick – Cinnamon & Cocoa

Carrot nose – Orange, Bright Orange & Gold.

Beard, Boots, Hat & Phone – Cool Greys 1 to 5

I will post the other cards another time but for now I hope this encourages you to go and get the mag and the images,

Sweet Succuents

Afternoon -
Have you seen the stunning new images at All Dressed Up?? You can see the full release here on the Challenge blog. I have been able to colour this one called Flower Pots and it is just lovely!! I have a really thing for Succulents at the mo and we even had them in our wedding flowers and for the Men's button holes!

The paper is from Basic Grey and called Terrarium. I mounted this in to pale pink and brown bazzill card. I tied a strip of green thin ribbon and a bow across the top. I also added some pale coloured lace across the bottom. I added some co-ordinated resin flowers and the copper foiled wording from Do Crafts. I used a My Favourite things square die to cut the image and I added liquid pearls around the scalloped of the base card and also on the plants. (White Opal, Avocado, Peacock, Mint Green & Petal Pink)

And in a shocking turn.... I did not use Promarkers!!! I used Zig Clean colour brush pens... 

I did use promarkers to colour her skin but them used these Zig pens -
Beige, Mustard, Pale Oatmeal, Mid Brown & Oatmeal - Hat
Gray & Light Gray - Shading
Pale Pink. Light Pink & Light Carmine - Dress & Flowers
Light Blue -background
Turquoise Green, Yellow Green, Mid Green, Emerald Green, Green, Light Green & Pale Green (Ha! So many greens!!!)
I used all these colours with a water brush - I think I still need more practice on this technique!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

See you all again soon,

All Dressed Up Christmas Tree Fairy

Afternoon  - Have you seen the gorgeous new releases at All Dressed up? I have used an image called Christmas Tree Fairy but you can get all the new releases and any other image here -} All Dressed up Etsy.  And for lots of inspiration visit the Challenge Blog.

The paper I have teamed up with our fairy is quite bold but I love the bright contrast of it with the white. Its from Tilda Christmas flowers collection. I die cut the image using Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle and mounted it onto gold mirri. Behind it I glued some shimmer ribbon and a die cut tree boarder from Lawn fawn using a lovely green satin card.
I used a sticker from Do crafts for the greeting but this was clear and got lost on the background so I stuck it onto some shimmery Vellum and then cut around it before attaching it with 3D foam.
On the fairy I used a gold pen to make the stars sparkle and diamond stickles on her wings and finally added a few red gems from Papermania.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Coral, Soft peach, Blush, Antique white & baby pink.
Hair - Warm grey 5, 4 & 2
Wings - Powder blue
Skirt - Baby Pink, Carmine & Magenta
Tree - Lime & Pear green and Emerald & Lush green.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

Northern Lights Polar Bear

Morning - Today's card I have made using an image from Tiddly Inks called Winterlight Wishes.

I have made a card similar to this recently with this  Bo Bunny background paper which reminded me of the Northern Lights so was perfect for this image!

The card is a pre-cut Filigree base from Docrafts called the 12 Days of Christmas. I glued the Bo bunny background paper behind base. I attached the coloured image to the base and glue some co-ordinated ribbon across the bottom. I used peel off letters to spell out Mummy and a peel off boarder to shape around the centre which says Merry Christmas. I added loads of bling using gems in the middle of the snowflakes and stickles around the Polar bear to shimmer like Ice.

I used these promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Bear - Frozen Lake & Pastel Blue
Skin - Coral, Soft peach, Blush, Antique white & Baby Pink.
Hair & Fox- Raw Sienna & Chestnut with white pen tips.
Hat - Pale Citrus, Lime Zest & Lime green
Coat - Blue Pearl & Bluebell
Boots - Aquamarine & Oasis.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Tiddly Inks - holly & jolly
A gem of a challenge - Christmas
Crafty Calendar - Let it snow 
Crafty friends - ATG.
Sweet stamping - Merry Christmas
