Crimson Holly

Here i have coloured up a Ching-Choukuik digital stamp called "Crimson Holly" You can purchase her stamps here

 I have coloured the stamp with inktense pencils for the foundation and then added details with polychromos pencils.  I have used a fine molotow white paint marker to make the dots on the moths wings.
The die is from spellbinders and i gold embossed the centre heart for a bit of extra detail. you will notice a brass key in the bottom right corner and I have also added flowers from my stash and the berry branch die is from lala land crafts(from memory)

The paper and cardstock are from kaisercraft.

Hello again

I have finally got around to making a Christmas card to give to a family member.

This card i will be entering in the Whimsy Stamps challenge#78- Anything goes

and Deep Oceans Challenge #93- Christmas all around

and

A creative Romance last challenge - Anything goes, goodbye

and Kit and Clowder challenge for December Animals

I have coloured up Christmas Gift by Crissy's Digi's with inktense pencils for the base colour and then added detail with polychromos.

Isn't this pony just gorgeous. It has such a gentle face.

I decided to print it out quite large and just mount it on a simple easel card with traditional christmas papers from kaisercraft. the merry christmas stamp has been embossed and is also from kaisercraft.

Merry Christmas!

Aurelia

Hello there. Another challenge entry coming up.

 This is being entered in the Kit and Clowder November challenge - Christmas

I have used a kraftin kimmie rubber stamp called Aurelia and fussy cut her out. I love colouring this one up for Christmas cards.

I have coloured her with inktense pencils and used the gold and silver polychromos pencils for a bit of shine.

The embossed sentiment is part of the stamp set and i used a spellbinders nestabilities die to cut it out.

The embossed note music is a kaisercraft stamp.

Thanks for stopping by

have a great day

Wedding card

Hello again (waving)

I was itching to give my new polychromos pencils a good try. I figured i would try them by colouring in a wedding stamp from S.W.A.L.K. Sorry i don't remember the stamps actual name.

Still getting used to these new pencils and i think it will quite some time until i am comfortable at using them. However, i decided to enter this finished product into the Kit and Clowder anything goes challenge for October.

The lacey heart die is from Spellbinders and the flowers are from my stash. The cherish stamp is from kaisercraft as well as the cardstock i used (Lilac and elephant grey). The papers i got as a freebie from a magazine quite a while ago. The twine is from whimsy farm twine :)

Anti Gravity Hair

Hello Again

I have a fabulous lineart here drawn by Sureya (deviantart) called Anti Hair Gravity and couldn't resist colouring her up and the kit and clowder September colour inspiration challenge was perfect to match it with.

*note Sureyas terms and conditions on her lineart available for colouring

 I have used mainly Derwent inktense pencils to colour her in and used the dark cadmium polychromo to get a bit more darker areas in her hair.

The paper i used to colour on is the Arches smooth watercolour cotton paper (expensive but so nice to colour on)

 I mounted the image on an easel card base made from bubblegum kaisercraft cardstock with some kaisercraft patterned paper and sea foam and spearmint cardstock.

The flowers are from I am roses and the die is from Cheery Lyn Designs

I love the end result and hope you do to 

Thanks so much for dropping by

The best day ever

Hello there.

 I was scrolling through the kit and clowder facebook page and noticed some gorgeous stamps from Sugar Nellie had been coloured by some ladies. They were so sweet i had to go and take a look at what Sugar Nellie had to offer and i purchased a couple including this retiring digi Best Day Ever. 

This is the link to the stamp if you want to purchase it :)

I have coloured the stamp with inktense pencils and mounted it on some spellbinder dies on top of some paper called hopscotch, on top of (i think its called) a butterfly folded card base made out of toffee coloured kaisercraft cardstock.

The little sentiment is computer generated :)

I will be entering this card in The Sugar Bowl challenge #117

Thanks for dropping by

Have the best day ever!!

Secret Kisses

Hello world!

It's been quite a while since i have entered a challenge but i was busting to colour up an Aurora Wings stamp and this is the result.

Secret Kisses coloured with inktense pencils.

Zing embossing powders were used to embellish the edge of the frame.

Beaded garland i got ages ago on ebay was  used to represent seaweeds/coral. 

The sentiment is computer generated.

I am entering this card into the Aurora wings challenge #6 Under the sea.

Thanks for looking and i would love it if you left a comment :)

Have a great day.
