WLSC Wild Life Tiger

 Hi Everyone my DT card today is for

We Love Stamping  

 This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme 

 Wildlife - Animals/flowers/plants/trees/fish/birds/butterflies etc (A&C) 

World Wildlife

 

I didn't have a "wild life" stamp, that I wanted to use, so off to my digi stamps and I came across this old one. That I had made into a card here, nearly 10 years ago. Anyhow, I printed it out onto cream paper with the sentiment, it was just the right weight to use for water colouring. After reminding myself what colours a tiger is, on the web, I coloured him with DI's. I then used a white Posca pen to go over the white areas. I kept it very simple, as it's a wonderful image with impact, I thought. 

 

After colouring it, I cut it to fit the card, and layered it onto an orange paper background, I did the same to the sentiment. I'm so glad that I used cream paper, layered onto cream hammered base card. I think the white stands out more.

We have lovely wildlife themed prize from AALL & CREATE this month

 

 

 

 I felt like Spring has sprung with tulips and daffodils and azaleas, with other plants blooming in the garden, so I changed my header to Spring, I hope it lifts you too.

It's a long time since I entered a challenge, but had to with Morgan's image.

Draft Horses

Hi Everyone my DT card to day is for

my image  "Draft Horses"

you can buy HERE

I kept the colouring very simple, I wanted it monochrome, I had an idea in my mind, but couldn't achieve it, but I'm satisfied with it. The image is just so beautiful and reminds me of the farms around us in my childhood.  The paper was a piece left over from something else (a snippet or too large to be called that?) I thought it looked liked grasses to compliment the harvesting.

image - Draft horses

coloured with - Nuvo Vibrant watercolour pencils

die - Tonic pinhole

paper - Craft Sensations

3D - Dovecraft 3D Pearl Effects - gold

I had another go at the horses using Ranger inks,
I MAY add it to a card, I'm not sure about it. I think the background is OKish, but disappointed with the horses.

Morgans DT

Hi Everyone my DT post today is for 

the image I have used today can be bought

HERE

she is named as Ivy Greenleaf

which made me go searching for Ivy in my files, yep! got a few, but not that would be suitable, or so I thought, so off to the Silhouette Design Store and found a background that I thought would work. The image is actually on Morgans header, so it meant a lot to live up to. I have recently bought, (I am late to the party) some Ranger Distress Inks, I know you are all onto the oxide ones now! LOL. Anyway, I decided to use one pack of 4 and base my colours on those for my card.

I'm not sure it worked and I may not have done my best for this image and card. I think I will have to revisit it at some time. The image although it looks so detailed and it would be difficult to colour, was surprisingly easy.

image - Ivy Greenleaf, link above, 

print and cut on Silhouette Cameo with outline added in pink card.

then coloured with Ranger Distress inks,

picked raspberry, mustard seed, peacock feathers,spiced marmalade.

Watercolour Poppies

HI Everyone, my DT card today is for the Morgans Artworld ATG Challenge all details below.

My card today uses the poppies image and I printed it out and then water coloured it, something I've not been successful in before. I've been watching some tutorials and they say to dry the print before using the water colours, so heat gun out and it worked! LOL. I also used blue for an outline background, I wasn't sure about the colour, but I think it's OK. I'm quite pleased with the overall result and feel more confident to do it all again.

I cut out the oval frame and a leaf of the stamp to overlap it, to add a little interest. I thought the sentiment could be used for lots of purposes.

Retro!

Hi Everyone, my DT post today lets me go back to my late teens / early twenties, I was brought up without phones in the homes, it was letters or a phone box for contacting anyone. When hubby and I had our own home after 5 years of saving and of marriage, we had our own telephone in the house, not that there were many people to call LOL. Ah! how times change, now everyone is attached to their phone inside and outside the home.

Anyhow on to my card.

I felt I had to use the colour of the first phone we had and a retro wallpaper, can you believe we had similar paper on the walls of our homes like this? The doily was also on the table, usually made by MiL or Aunt, they worked beautiful crochet. I still have some of their work.

telephone - Morgans Art World

coloured in Photoshop CS6, fussy cut and 3D'd

paper - Sweet Digi Scraps Designs

wood effect paper - Kim Broedelet

doily - A. Wolff designs

all from a Pixel & Co blog hop August 2014

sentiment - with gradient effect to match wallpaper, 3D'd.

the design was influenced by this sketch
