and

are giving away 3 digi images

I've used a fun image from Stamper's Delights, called Chibis Balloons 2.  I have coloured the image with markers.

It's such a wonderful little scene, that I didn't want to lose by crowding the card, so I kept it super simple. My papers are from the PhotoPlay Roxie & Friends paper pack.  I've added a few eyelets and threaded through twine.

Be sure to pop over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the team have created.  Thanks for popping over to see mine.

KEAGAN KELPIE CHRISTMAS PUP

 Every year I make a series of Christmas cards specifically for pet lovers.  I try to keep them simple, and to colour the pets to resemble the fur babies they're representing, as closely as possible.

This year Digi Doodle Studios made my job easy, because Dina has drawn an entire range of adorable pets, perfect for Christmas cards!

This one is called Keagan Kelpie Christmas Puppy.  I have coloured the image with Copics.

My papers and the North Pole badge are from the PhotoPlay Christmas Cheer collection.  I've distressed the edges of my papers and I've added two red gems.

The Digi Doodle Studios team put together the most adorable inspiration to showcase these adorable images, and share them in our Facebook group, so be sure to join us there to see more.

Thanks so much for popping in for a look!

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS SUMMER READS

 I have loved this image since the moment I saw it.  Her outfit gives me a vintage feel.  It's all so peaceful and quiet, right?

The image is called Summer Reads.  I have coloured the image with markers, then distressed and inked the edges - as I've done with the papers.

I originally went in search of pink papers, but the blend I'd used for the colouring didn't match any of the papers I was drawn to, so I changed direction.  My papers are from the KaiserCraft Timeless Classics paper pack.

I've used ribbons from my stash and added a strip of Birch Creative lace.  The doily is one from a stash my mother crocheted for me to use on my cards.  My flowers are Petaloo.

PAPER NEST DOLLS SITTING WITH TEDDY

 This super sweet image is called Sitting With Teddy.

I have coloured the image with markers and then used a Spellbinders die to cut it out.

My papers are from the Heartfelt Creations Cascading Petals Collection.  I had Martha Stewart on my mind while I was making this card, after a conversation about all her talents, so I dug out one of my oldest Martha Stewart punches for the border.

The sentiment is a stamp and die set by Crafti Potential Designs.  I've added 49 and Market flowers and a few gems from my stash.

There's always lots to see in our Facebook group, so pop over and join us!

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS NEW RELEASE BUFFY 'N FRIENDS

 We're showcasing a fun New Release at Digi Doodle Studios this week, filled with the cutest Halloween images.

This one is called Buffy 'n Friends.  

I have coloured the image with markers and then cut it out with a blade, so that I could mount it onto the pretty moon scene behind it.

My papers are from the Hunkydory Twilight Kingdom mini book.  I used a marker to draw in the ground beneath the characters.

The two trees are actually one Silhouette image cut on my Cameo.  I sliced the image in half to use it on the two sides of my card.  I've added a little gem swirl in the corner and two big glitter dots by Ribtex.  At that point I considered the card done, but the light green strip across the bottom kept drawing my eyes and making me feel uncomfortable with it's emptiness, so I drew the two spiderwebs in.

To see more of these wonderful New Release images, join us in our Facebook Group.

PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE #480: ANYTHING GOES

 

Good morning crafters!

Our new challenge at Penny's has kicked off and we have two fantastic sponsors this fortnight!

giving away 2 digi images

and

giving away 3 digi images

I am showcasing one of the gorgeous images from Pattie's Creations, called Succulents with Hanging Vases.  I have coloured the image with markers, loosely following the Succulents Kit & Clowder colouring class.  I then used a freebie brick stencil and Distress inks to create the background.  I had intended on showing the background through the glass vases, but I so loved how boldly they stood out from the background, that I decided not to do it.

My papers are from the13 @rts On The Wall paper pack.  They're so soft and subtle, I thought they'd be perfect to allow the image to pop.  I've added a ribbon from my stash and used a Papercraft stamp for the sentiment.  I've also added three little American Crafts puffy dots.

Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to see what the rest of the team have created for our sponsors this week.  Thanks for popping in to see mine!
