A Little Fishy if you ask me!

So much going on here at the moment that I nearly forgot all about this little one. Home life and work life just flew away with me over the last few weeks. Life just does that sometimes doesn’t it?
I’ve lots to tell you about but I’m keeping it with me for just a little longer so in the mean time here is a little guy that I started to colour up a week or so ago but finished him last week.

Angelina’s Balloons

As a child I remember rubbing a balloon on my hair to make the balloon static and sticking it on walls, on someone's back or anywhere that I could get it to stick. Of course my children did it too and in fact their Dad (Chris) still does it, I don’t think he will ever grow up ha ha!

Angelina’s Balloons from Mo’s Digital Pencil

I made an easel card with the image as I really didn’t know where I was going with it, I first punched out the heart on the card with the image and tied a bow around the top, knowing that it needed something else I matted it with blue card and then it sat there on my desk for a little while, I often do this, mainly because once I start colouring I get so carried away that I end up colouring several images up. So this was the one I played with a little until I was happy.

I coloured her in Blue, did you know that way way back Pink was a boys colour and Blue a girls?

NutCracker

I’m still having fun using the Graph’It markers, it is unbelievable just how vibrant they are, I don’t have a full set but what I do have is wonderful, I have the rest on my wish list. They are available at Polka Doodles at a very good price.

My card today is with the Drummer Nutcracker Soldier from Just Inklined

Other news for me this weekend is that I picked up my new bike, love that it has front suspension, no wrist pain after a long ride, I did 15 miles today to try it out and I was very impressed.

Bewitched–Graph’It and Metallic Pan Pastels

I had a play with the metallic Pan Pastels, such intense colour, I had such amazing results using a Versafine ink pad and the copper Pan Pastels that I thought I would share it with you.

The fun of trying new products is in the experimenting don’t you think?

I used Tabitha by Mo’s Digital Pencil for my image as she is such a peach with her little kitty in hand.

Tabitha1

I used a shimmer deep purple card and edged it with the versafine ink pad and a swirl stamp then dabbed on the metallic Copper Pan Pastel, the colour was rich and intense.

I used a cheap hairspray to set the Pastel.

Tabitha was coloured with the Graph’ It Markers available at Polka Doodles , again intense vibrant colour that makes your images pop.

Green - Pistachio, Lime and Tuscany

Orange - Apricot, Mango and Halloween

Skin – Cotton, Powder, Skin and princess Rose for the blush
