🎅Quickish card today using Cookie Claus from Dr.Digi's House of Stamps, who is sponsoring "Christmas in July" over at the Rudolph Days Challenge Blog!🎅 🎄 The Christmas in July Sale Event at Sweet November Stamps is still on, and I had such a lovely time making this festive Meemaw card using the Time for Turkey digi stamp! Happy to share a bit of festive joy and alert you to the Christmas in July Sale Event at Sweet November Stamps! The Holiday Travels Set was my fav from the latest Christmas Release, it's so fun and innovative, and three options to choose from, in one set! Also used one of my fav backgrounds the Gnome Home Scene Builder Digi, it seems to be perfect for so many cards, even better that it's a bargain this week in the sale. It's Pinguin Coffee Time from Cute Bee Digis! There is nothing more delightful than a caffeinated penguin. True fact! 🐧☕️✅ Something sweet is hopping your way, and we’re so excited to share our Hoppy Hearts clear stamp release! This is Oceanne, isn't she pretty ?! 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. It's a Frankenstamp inspo ( Thanks @timman23 for the ongoing Franken-inspo) for Dr.Digi's Mermay Challenge! This is Goldie and Lagerfest Lottie and together they make.... a Maidmer? 😀 Lottie seems to have the nicest legs in the Dr.Digi's shop! (Not pictured sorry but you can swipe and see the original Goldie digi ) And the winner was "C" but only by one vote! Thanks for helping me decide on a sentiment for Deirdery Dunderfin (created from the Dr.Digi stamp Deirdery Dunderton). I defo have a couple of friends who are very good at resting mermaid face so it will be useful 😉 Quick Kitty post, before you all thought I had lost my passion for colouring all the furry things 😉 This is "Cat with Yarn" from Sproatmeyer Stamps and is a testament to using a white resist layer under your pencil colouring on coloured card! All this detail went in with the white polychromo pencil on the very first layer, it's not wax resist, but it works very much like it. Try doing a pattern in white and then gently colour on top of it! Would recommend for the easy life :) Another Dr.Digi Mermay makeover, this time its "I dream of Genie" that's had a fishy upgrade! Swipe to see the original stamp. This is mainly over colouring after printing the image out with pale lines, then adding bits, like tiny oranda goldfish 😃
