50 Shades of Mirri

New from Hunkydory Crafts 50 shades of Mirri, released today on Create and Craft TV.

Superb for giving your card making that something different.

This card was made using one of the blue shades, it die cuts beautifully.

 

I also used a digital image from Mo's Digi Pencil and coloured her with only the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens, I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get skin tones and shading with them.

Mammas Dress

Some things just take you back to your childhood don’t they?

This dress does it for me, my Mam used to make most of her dresses and this would totally have been her style.

Made using the Hunkydory Glitter Glaze card and one of the Creative Crafting World big base cards.

A few pretty paper blossoms from Orchid Crafts

Coloured with Alcohol markers.

Urchin with Bird–Coloured with One Chameleon pen

First my blog card and then I’ll let you know my exciting news.

Urchin with Bird image from Mo’s Digital Pencil  perfect wintery card.

I coloured the image with only one of the Chameleon Pens (bark) I love the old worldy feel to it.

I also used a tattered lace flourish die and a Memory Box snowflake border die.

Now for my exciting news….. I will be flying out to California in January for CHA and will be guesting shows for Create and Craft live back to the UK. It will be fabulous to see some of my US friends.

Amanda, Chameleon Pens and Couture Dies

A pretty little card using Amanda image by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I used the Chameleon Pens to colour the image and the Couture Dies (Summer Blossom)to create an aperture frame for the image.

Colours used:- Fawn, Bisque and Bubblegum for skin, Grey, Bark and Hot Cocoa for Hair, Sky Blue for clothes, Bark and Hot Cocoa for cats, Aqua Marine for Wool.

Happy Babe with Chameleon Pens

I had another play today with the Chameleon Pens, I love that I now wont have to carry hundreds of pens around with me to get good results when colouring images. It took me a little while to get used to them and playing is the key to that, not worrying about spoiling an image, after all it is a piece of paper and can be started again, I printed out a couple of practice images to test on before I used the images that I wanted for cards.

This image is called Happy Babe and can be found at Mo’s Digital Pencil 

As you can see, blending with the Chameleon Pens works beautifully, I used Bubblegum for his cheeks, Bisque and Fawn for his Skin, Crimson Red for his Tongue, warm Sunset and Bark for his Hair, Cool Grey and Sky Blue for his Diaper and Royal Blue for the shading below him.

One Image Four Looks

I just wanted to show the value of Digital Stamps, in this day every penny counts so the more use we get from our crafty goods the better. I love that with both digital stamps and rubber stamps you can change colours and get further inspiration from the colour change.

This one is Pucker Up from Mo’s Digital Pencil and shows this colour change perfectly.

The first being brown toned hair, keeping the skin tones tanned and green eyes and vest top.

Next up is the red head, keeping a fairer complexion with hazel eyes and an aqua coloured vest top.

Next comes blonde hair, pale complexion, baby blue eyes and a wine coloured vest top

Lastly is the strawberry blonde with brown eyes warm complexion and burnt orange vest top.

Total Wipe Out

Wow I was knocked totally off my feet with a Flu bug. Aches and pains, shivering then a temperature, sore throat, off balance, a headache that had me blind and face numbness. I felt totally wiped out. I always pick up bugs because of a low immune system, and colds are quite dangerous for me, work colleague's bring in the bugs instead of staying at home then I go down with the super bug. It’s a vicious circle that just keeps giving (to me).

So no crafting, no computer, just bed, sleep and meds.

Today was my first full day out of bed, still off balance husband had to drive me to a hospital appointment but this afternoon I sat and made a card (yay)

Goodness by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I used kraft card and used my Prisma pencils to colour the image, it has been so long since I played with them that it took some getting used to again but I’m pleased that I did persist.
