Colouring: Arrtx Pencils on Faber Castell Mixed Media Paper

Creative Inspirations – All Dressed Up Stamps ‘Strawberry Season!

 Hello, how are things?

 

We have a new challenge over at the Creative Inspirations Blog and this month our theme is everyone’s favourite;

‘Anything Goes’

 

Our sponsor is the fabulous  ALL DRESSED UP

who are offering a fabulous prize for our winner of 2 digis of their choice so visit the blog for details.

 

I have to admit that this card got away from me somewhat as I was in panic mode when I made it. You see I had initially used the wrong image for this challenge.  Right sponsor at least just wrong DT. Ooops 

This lovely lady is called STRAWBERRY SEASON and I found some very busy but apt paper from LDRS Creative (since retired) to go with her.  I dug out an old embossing folder too that I have had since the dawn of time and even managed to make some teeny-weeny strawberries to add to the vine.

 

Ingredients:

Digi Stamp: ADU STRAWBERRY SEASON

Colouring: Derwent Drawing Pencils on Faber Castell Mixed Media Paper

Dies: Craft Addiction UK ‘Essential Oval Deckle Frames’ – Mayjoy ‘Deckle Rectangles’ – Signature Dies ‘Vine Spray’

Paper: LDRS Creative

Sentiment: Created in Canva 

Others Stuff: Mini Heart Punch & Flower Die (for the teeny strawberries) – Embossing Folder

 

So, pop over to the blog and join in the fun this month, we would love to see you.

 

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment; it really means a lot! Have a great month!

GDT - Girlz Creative Christmas Challenge - Di's Digi Winter Bear

 Good morning! Back again! 

Today I find myself as a guest on the GIRLZ CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE blog and their theme this time is ‘Fun Folds’

 

Well, my ‘fun fold’ is a centre stepper card featuring this fabulous cocoa-sipping polar bear from DIS DIGI STAMPS called MUGSY (love it).

I must admit it took me ages to make this card. Do you find that happens sometimes? I had chosen my paper, coloured my image then…nope I had nothing. I knew it would be a stepper but that was about it. Still a cup of tea and a walk with the dog later and I managed to finish it. Phew!

Ingredients:

Digital Stamp:  DIS DIGI STAMPS ‘MUGSY’

Dies: Tattered Lace Centre Stepper Set – Sue Wilson ‘Holly Sprays’, ‘Snow Fall Border’ and ‘Flying Santa’ - Catherine Pooler Winter Frame – Tonic ‘Merry Christmas’

Paper: LOTV ‘Frosty Christmas'

Colouring: Arrtx Pencils on Strathmore Grey Toned Paper

Others: Mini Gems

 

So, get out those Christmas supplies and folding boards and join in with this fab challenge.

Hello, how are things?

It is time for a new challenge at 613 AVENUE CREATE.

Our challenge is monthly and always ‘Anything Goes’ with an optional twist which today is ‘Play Time’ featuring something fun. 

Now these pretty little girls look as if they are having lots of fun and they can be found in the fabulous collection of LITTLE BALLERINAS from LILI OF THE VALLEY.

 

As soon as I saw these adorable little misses I just had to have them (being a huge ballet and LOTV fan). I used 2 of the images, flipping one to face the other way and coloured them with my pencils. I decided on different skin tones for each and used the backing paper for my inspiration for the palette.

Digi Stamps: LOTV RIBBONS & LOTV HAPPY

Colouring: Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils

Paper: LOTV 

Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Centre Stepper Card’ set – Memory Box ‘Party Music’
