How many of you celebrate your dogs birthdays? A favourite treat, a new collar, maybe a new coat or even a doggie cake like this one.
Bronte Birthday has it all, a new hat, a new tutu, and even a doggie cake with a bone biscuit topper. You’ll find Bronte Birthday at Mo’s Digital Pencil
Coloured with FlexMarkers by Letraset and some pitt chalk pencils.
Ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel along with the flower centers.
I love the sweet expression, it needs bottling.
It’s been a funny old day (Sunday) and I’ve been playing with some colouring techniques, I started my day at 05:45 feeling quite groggy and a little under the weather, so many germs going freely at the moment to anyone who will have them, it started with a headache on Saturday that just wouldn’t go, by Saturday evening I was taking pain killers and taking myself off to bed.
So at early o’clock I started colouring with my FlexMarkers by Letraset, I’m loving the new colours in these, I also love the brush tip that allows the ink to stay wetter longer allowing better blending, I also love that the colours are true and not wishy washy.
So this is what I was colouring. A selection from Mo’s Digital Pencil
Now as I was a little unwell I ended up back in bed and staying there until around 13:30. I have a wonderful man who made dinner and the went shopping for the weekly groceries while i took more medication and just played with images.
I decided to use Pastel Pencils on top of the FlexMarkers colouring I‘d done, I love that you can do this, I often do it with prisma pencils but I decided to invest in some Faber Castell Pastel Pencils and I love them. I use them with paper blending stumps by Derwent and I’ll thing you’ll agree that they work well.
This is the Tin of pencils that I invested in.
Feeling a little better now but not managed to make a card I thought you would like to see what I’d been up to.
There’s nothing better that sitting with a big sheet of blank paper and a pen or pencil, especially if you are young and care free, the imagination just takes over and before you know it you are in your own action packed day dream.
What to Draw from Mo’s Digital Pencil
I coloured the image with FlexMarkers by Letraset using some of the newly released colours, the Sunset red is a must have, it really makes other reds pop.
You can see the concentration in his little face can’t you?
Just a little fun card, you see so many images for mens bowls that we thought it would be fun to have one for the women.
Hattie Bowler from Just Inklined is such a fun image that I kept the card clean and simple.
Doesn’t she just bowl you over? Added ribbon and twine from Ribbon Carousel and a few blossoms to finish.
I finally got my hands on the marker storage by Crafters Companion, having tried so many I was sceptical whether or not this system would work for me but it truly didn’t disappoint me.
However I did want it to store my FlexMarkers by Letraset and as these pens are shorter and fatter than Spectrum Noirs, Copics, Twin Touch etc. I was worried that they may not fit so good.
Actually they did fit perfectly the only issue I had was they where a little difficult to get hold of the ones in the middle to pull them out of the tray.
So my thinking cap came out, I needed something to stop the Markers going to the very back of the tray so that I had a little bit extra to grab hold of.
My answer came from the pound shop
Draft excluder tape, self adhesive and high density cut into little strips and stuck at the back of each compartment, works beautifully.
All neat and tidy and easy to get out.
You can see the excluder tape in each compartment in this picture.
I love feel good images and this is one of them. It could be sent just to give someone a lift (if you pardon the pun)
Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchet by Mo’s Digital Pencil
I used the Letraset Rub on Transfer letters to add the sentiment.
The backing papers, twine and ribbon are all from Ribbon Carousel.
I used a Stampin Up punch down one side of the paper
Happy New Year.
I’m wishing you all a Healthy 2013.
