Birthday Card

Ducks between Teefs.

Another blog post before more teeth leave my head! Thank goodness for colouring atm, and these super images from Barbara Sproatmeyer, she gets the line between enough details for guidance, and enough space to add details, just right! This is Duck with Balloon. This is what she looks like in the shop – And this…

Sproatmeyer Stamps

Be a Unicorn.

First blog post for Sproatmeyer stamps! Not the first one ever for Barbara, but it has been a while! I love colouring Unicorns. So much. Maybe more than mermaids? 🙂 This is the Unicorn Rearing digistamp. Here is what she looks like in the Sproatmeyerstamps.com shop – And I did a sneak peek WIP pic…

Christmas Sweater Seth

Another Christmas make for this year, cutting it a bit fine now tho! This is Christmas Sweater Seth with lots of sweater to colour! It’s not a perfectly coloured sweater…but that was intentional, lol. Here he is in the shop – And here is a close up of my version, obvs all this glitter looks…

Christmas Cards

Blingy Christmas

Something different today, a bit of blingy bling Christmasness. Thought I would try and use the Mistletoe digi with something from the Christmas Sentiments Sheet (01)! Both from Dr.Digi’s House of Stamps. Here is the close up of the Mistletoe digistamp, it’s only 50p! Bit of a close up, you can see my bling technique…

Animal Colouring

Adoption Day

Finally! Back with a NEW Dr.Digi card! It was started quite some time ago, then ironically the cat knocked a full mug of coffee over it and I went into indecision mode as to whether to start it again, lol. This is the awesome Adoption Day digistamp from Dr.Digi! Here is what the stamp looks…

Duck with Balloon digi and sorry-not-sorry pun! Really enjoying colouring up my Sproatmeyer Stamps digis atm 🙂 Barbara gets the line between "enough details for guidance" and "enough space to add details" just right! New from Sproatmeyer Stamps this is Unicorn Rearing and she is defo living her best Unicorn life! It is recommended 🙂 Also check out the bokeh-bubble experimental background, lol. Something sweet is hopping your way, and we’re so excited to share our Hoppy Hearts clear stamp release! I used the Love You Forever Set! This cheerful collection brings together eleven Valentine and Easter stamp sets featuring playful characters and coordinating backgrounds, perfect for brightening your handmade cards. You’ll also find the final three monthly dragons to complete the series, along with two new sequin mixes to add a little extra sparkle to your projects. Also in the colouring pile (I can't really concentrate on much, so colouring is the preferred option) is this very cute penguin (pinguin coffee time) from @cutebeedigis and he has been in the pile far too long. I actually went wrong and he has been sat awkwardly for months waiting to be fixed. Anyway, I erased and started his face again, and now he is almost finished! Deciding if I like this eye style or not?? Yup, got this one on the go too! He is Dog with Ball from Sproatmeyer Stamps, I had a go at doing an inside-out ear... though I think you could completely get away with making it the right way round too! Has it worked? Still unsure. Also need to get that droplet of drool (oo good band name! lol) looking better, tis a bit advanced for me 😉 Just working through the colouring pile trying to get things finished, I have so many "almost done" colourings atm. This WIP is Duck with Balloon digi from Sproatmeyer Stamps. He's going to make a super cute spring birthday card, or mebbe an Easter card! Trying out another "deli" sharpener in this pic, I have tried lots of them and tbh they probably win at the cheap plastic sharpener thing, but as normal polychromos demolish sharpener blades at super speed, lol! I love colouring balloons, I might use a blending pencil at the very end to see if I can get that uber smooth plastic finish done! Got lots in the colouring pile atm but am a bit too poorly to make up them up into cards, so here is another WIP pic. This is Unicorn Rearing from Sproatmeyer Stamps. I am wondering where (and how much) to add some sparkle! 😀 I tried doing him sticker-style, the glossy finish with polychromos makes it work really well! Also, as ever, trying new colouring products, these pencil sharpeners you add to the end of your pencils are getting a work out atm. WIP Pic! 😀 Starting a new colouring using Love Birds from @sproatmeyer Stamps! (Currently 25% off!) as Barbara has very kindly invited me onto her DT! Please keep a look out for new releases and there are already a few gems in the shop, check out sproatmeyerstamps dot com. Happy New Year! A few pics of my felted decos I made this year, only managed four but really enjoyed making them! I based them on the original design called "Christmas Pudding Cat" that was for sale on Culture Vulture this Christmas, now sold out.
