Kitties in Digi

My daughter has requested a cute cat card for a friend, so I searched for some cute cat images. I found some called Meow at Isabel Cristina's etsy shop here. This whole set is just $1.92!
.

I haven't made the card yet but I did color the image I plan to use. I tried a couple of different cat types that I looked up for coloring help. Which is your favorite?

I used Prismacolor pencils of course, and added the ground and hearts to the image. I think I prefer the bottom but they were both fun to color.

Happy Monday!

Power Poppy Lilacs

For the August Power Poppy Challenge, I've chosen one of my favorite flowers, the French Lilac, to showcase and added a sentiment from the digi Ranunculus sentiment. The challenge is to mix stamps and I think together these make a lovely sympathy card. I used some green Stickles and my Wink of Stella glitter pen to add shine.

The background is dry embossed with a diamond pattern and then painted with these gorgeous Gansai Tambi Watercolor pearlized paints. You can see the green shining here. I used Prismacolor pencils on the flowers.

Hope to see you join in over at Power Poppy!

Happy Wednesday!

Stamp Mixing

For one of the challenges over at Power Poppy, you're supposed to mix stamps that don't come together as a set. I've been enjoying this and coloring a bunch of digi images. Some of my cards have been digitally mixed and then printed and colored but this one was printed then fussy cut and put together. 

I used Prismacolor pencils on the digi sets Everything's Rosy and Ranunculus. The congrats word die is Lawn Fawn.

You have until the end of the month for this challenge, but they always have color challenges up too.

Happy Wednesday!

Lovely Harvest Fairies

I just stumbled onto Crafts & Me, by seeing someone's blog with the DT button for them and checked them out. They have this cool freebie stamp and contest going on on their FB page here. They sell digi stamps and rubber stamps by one of my favorites, Hannah Lynn Designs, and a whole bunch of other artists. Couldn't resist the freebie, by Robin Pushay, though it was a little daunting at first—lots to color.

But in the end, I watched both The Originals (vampires in N'awlins, yes, please) and Downton Abbey (flappers and motorcars for your perusal) and had a ball while I took hours to finish this.

First I used my Prismacolor pencils, then added Tombow markers (which are pretty vivid) and then added fun dots and lines with the white gel pen. Next was some watercolor with one of the light blue Tombow markers for the sky and finally, yes, Stickles! I stickled Star Dust the wings of both fairies as you can see better in the close-up. 

I don't know why I gave the top fairy purple and white striped tights, technically they should've been black and white in homage to Wizard of Oz, but I didn't think. Next time, she's getting Dorothy shoes too with my Xmas Red Stickles.

Happy Tuesday,
Chark
