Digi Choosday Challenge Week 30 – Anything Goes!

Good morning everybody!  How are we all?

It’s Choosday which means it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and as always we have a wonderful prize on offer for our lucky winner so check out the BLOG for details.

Have you seen the new ‘Stamp of the Month’ that Nikky has introduced to the store? Well I have used the first of this series called WINNIE CHRISTMAS WREATH! Isn’t she fab.






I stamped her directly onto some of the digi paper from WINNIE WINTERLAND and coloured her with pencils.  I wanted to create a complete scene so I used a pre-coloured image from the same collection, re-coloured to B/W, added it onto another digi paper and resized to fit behind the window die. I added pops of colour to it to match the rest. 


The cute little robin sitting on the fence is another clear stamp that comes as a BONUS when you purchase this gorgeous STAMP OF THE MONTH. I know!!!

Clear Stamp Image: WINNIE CHRISTMAS WREATH
Colouring: Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils

So the team are giving thanks this week and I took the opportunity to use the adorable LIL MISS SUGARPOPS COLLECTION again.  Just crazy about this bundle!

This image is called GIGGLE and I coloured her with pencils and cut her out with my Scan n Cut.  I created a background for her by digitally resizing one of the backing papers and then adding 2 of the sentiments; duplicating and changing their orientation to add interest (otherwise it would have just looked like a list LOL).  Really simple and ever so slightly CAS!

Digi Choosday Challenge Week 27 – Anything Goes!

Good morning everybody!  Happy 4th of July to all our wonderful American friends!!!

This week the team are using a design sheet and I thought I would make a card suitable for a guy with the SCIENTIST/GEEK/STUDENT.


These sheets are absolutely perfect for those quick cards when you don’t have time to colour or go hunting around for matching bits and bobs! I did add a touch of black pencil to my scientist’s face though as he had a bit of an ‘overreaction’ with his chemicals!!

Ingredients:
Printing Card: ULTIMATE SMOOTH
Other: Black Soot DI – Black Pencil
