Sending love and joy

Today I am so very pleased to share with you my most recent Conie Fong creation.  I just adore her whimsical drawings and they are such a pleasure to colour up. 

Here is a link to here store so that you can go browse yourself Conie Fong Store 

I've coloured this image called Christmas Leilani using Spectrum Noir Illustrators. 

Skin tones: FS6, EB2, FS8, FS7,

Hair tones: EB2, GB6, GB4, GB2, TN1

Poinsettia : DR6, DR4, DR3, DR1

At the beginning of each year, I empty my scrap folders, so my current mission is to use up as many scrap pieces of paper and card as I can.  This changes my style to very simple layouts, but she looks good placed on embossed and foiled papers.

Thank you for popping over. 

I hope you have a great day.

Isn't Dudley the Dragon the cutest!

Here he is getting busy putting the festive lights up for mum. I'm not convinced he's doing it right, seems to be in a bit of a tangle.

I've coloured the image using Spectrum Noir Illustrators and fussy cut the image to add to a Silver Birch background and clear winter sky scene that I'd also drawn and coloured using SN markers. 

I've finished the card off by framing the scene and adding a few sentiments. 

Thank you for popping over. 

I hope you have a great day.

Argh! turn the heating off!

Argh! Who turned the heating on!!!

I do love these comical snowmen digital stamps from Whimsy Stamps.

I've made this really quick and simple card by just choosing one main colour family and one die.

Its got lots of dimension using foam pads and became a great fun Christmas card in no time at all.

I coloured the image using Spectrum Noir Illustrators. The image was printed onto Neenah Classic Crest Card and cardstock is from Papermill Direct.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

I fell in love with this jolly Santa and couldn't wait to get him onto a card. 

I've coloured him using SN Illustrators Coat and trousers: DG1, 3,4,6

Skin: FS6, 8,7

Boots: BG9, 7,6,5

I used Harmony Pigment Inks for the background Chinese Red blended with Honey Pot and then ran this piece of card through my due cutter with the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Stars die. I then placed a piece of gold matt mirror card behind to show golden stars.

Once I'd placed my Santa's and sentiments I took a few of the die cut stars and stuck them down as embellishments. I've saved the rest for a future card.

Thank you for popping over. 

I hope you have a great day.

From one flake to another!

Have you seen the Dustin Pike Snowman Digital sets in the Whimsy Digital release?

Such sweet sets.  This one I decided to add an inky background to.  Using water reactive inks, I blended 2 colours onto watercard.  I layered from lightest to darkest. Frosty Jade Harmony Inkpad and Midnight to achieve an umbre sky. 

I then flicked with a wet water brush and dabbed dry to create soft snow flakes. Just to brighten it up a bit I also flicked the cardstock with a clear glitter Sparkle Pen.

I printed off the image, coloured using SN Illustrators and then cut the image out.  I wanted a bit of dimension so used foam pads.

Here's a list of the Whimsy goodies used

Walking in a winter wonderland

 Lee Holland Stamps what can I say! There are dozens and dozens of the cutest images available.  My particular favourites are the pandas and dragons.  You should check his shop out if you haven't and maybe pop the kettle on first and enjoy a cuppa whilst you browse.  You can see all of the Digital images here Lee Holland's Etsy shop using this link: https://etsy.me/3pIrY78

I'm using Reindeer Antlers today.  My little Dragon is out playing under the fir trees in the snow. I hope HD won't stay out there too long, he might get a bit too cold. 

I've used Spectrum Noir Illustrators to colour this image. I've blended the families of AG and MG together to get a unique umbre bluey purple. 

My background has been stencilled and I've added a little scalloped circle die cut frame to bring the focus of the card back to the little Dragon. 

My sentiment has also been heat embossed to add dimension.
