Rolling along!

Hi Everyone my DT post today for Deedee's Digis  was for a Black and One Colour challenge that didn't appear for some reason, so I am going with Addicted to Stamps. Anything Goes. I have chosen the fun zebra image from Deedee's Digis I've given him a fun frame and a stripy font too. I used him from the Go Wild kit, these animals make great CAS cards. This time I decided to frame him, add zebra paper and buttons, the buttons I have had for yonks! thinking I would use them a lot, I bought a few! but struggle to find something suitable, thankfully they suit this card LOL.

Traffic lights!

Hi Everyone, I have followed a sketch today from the Outlawz Wednesday Challenge, I missed the last one with my Indian Dance card, so was determined to get in on time this week and here it is. I turned the sketch onto it's side and as it's for my God Daughter's husband and he has a lot of travelling to do, I thought "road" and this came together. All designed in PS, printed then layered onto black card and 3D'd onto the card. I added his birthday to the Today tag.

Birthday Cake

Hi Everyone, another family card, I have 3 within days of each other. I made this for my nephew, he has been on a diet, and I just had to include a cake on his card, I made it a fruit cake with white icing on it, when a child it was his favourite cake and my MIL would make him a wedding cake style cake as it was his favourite.

Mary Ellen Smith at Dearie Dolls added this image just in time for me to use it. I used the outline image as I wanted to change the cake. I coloured it in PS and followed the Mojo sketch but turned it. I just realised I should have added a couple of "bling" or something to the top of the black shape on the sketch, not too late, I'll add them now LOL.

The wonderful sentiment is by Create with TLC which is perfect for a dieter don't you think? LOL - I am wicked!

Thought I would show you a handbag my SIL has just finished making, she made her dress and stole and the bag matches it all AND her fabby shoes too. Isn't it gorgeous. She looks gorgeous in it all too.

Colouring?

Hi Everyone and a special Hi to my lovely new follower, I appreciate you like my work to follow me, that said I appreciate all my followers - you are WONDERFUL.

Anyhow on to today's post, I haven't got a card, but I have 3 colouring attempts with different mediums. You know I am a PS colourer, but it's something that is frowned on in some quarters, so I thought I would try something else. You may have seen my colouring with water colour pencils.

Today I have Photoshop, Spectrum Noire and Aqua Markers. I was able to return the Aqua's thankfully, if I was a stamper I would have kept them. I bought the 72 Spectrum Noires at half price on C&C, but need a LOT of practice before I can confidently put an image onto a card, but I like the vivid colours they give, so will keep at it.

The digital? has the wrong skin tone, I followed a colour chart which was off when printed. duh!
The Noire's?  I got the hair wrong and tried to use a blender to lighten, wrong choice - duh!
The Aqua's?  bled with my printing! duh!

I would love to hear your honest comments on each one.

New home card

Hi Everyone, I made this for the Scrapbook.com card challenge run by Kathy D who is the challenge coordinator at Deedee's Digis.

Anyhow, here is my card for my Great Niece who has just moved into her new house with her partner. I coloured it in PS then printed and layered added some dies. I love this digi stamp by Beyond the Fringe the sentiment is off the web.

Indian Dance!

Hi Everyone, a card I did for the sketch challenge at the Outlawz, but missed it!, anyhow, I thought I would show you what I did. The image is a digi stamp from Tiddly Inks, I love this image, she deserves to be richly dressed, but thought I would play her differently.  I followed the Outlawz sketch in Photoshop and coloured Aisha in PS too. I printed it out and layered it on navy card, added the cut out Aisha and the sentiment and added a Tonic die in the corner.

Well what can I say about this Owl? I LOVE that he is a Knight Owl and was perfect for my Son's birthday, he would rather sleep in the day and be up all night. The stars and sentiment are also in the digi. 

I used a photo I had taken in the back garden of a full moon, it seemed a perfect background,  I duplicated the stars a few times and added the perfect sentiment that came in the package from Sparkle n Sprinkle, I printed it all out from PS and layered the grand Knight. To say that I am thrilled how this turned out would be an understatement, it is perfect for me in every way. Thank you SnS. I added a border around the background in PS, printed it out and layered the Owl, a bit of ultra fine sparkle and voila! except I added the sparkle AFTER the 3D gloss on his eyes and nose and feet and a little has caught on them, but I don't think it matters, things sparkle in the moonlight don't they? You can see it on the "real" card. My Son had a laugh at it and it's meaning, I added "I love you to the moon and back" on the inside, another of the sentiments included.
