Getting My Kraft On .....

Told you I'd be back soon...this is another gorgeous Freebie from All Dressed Up and she's called "Abi Ballerina"...you'll find her over at their challenge blog :-) 

now tbh i wasn't all that happy with how i coloured her hair..so don't look too close...but after 6 months off i'm pretty pleased with how she turned out in the end :-)...

So she's coloured with Copic Ciao and added a few liquid pearls...papers and sentiment are also freebies from Quick Cards..called Vintage Blooms..can't remember which issue though....ribbon and button are from my stash.

I'd like to enter her in the following challenges

Digi Galore - Kraft

Ladybug Crafts Ink - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by again!!

Back Soon

Freebie

Afternoon peeps...now i have your attention...lol...i'm ready to share a card at last!!.... now this is a totally gorgeous freebie from over at the All Dressed Up  facebook page .... now before i get to the sharing..please, please PLEASE remember it is not cool to share these freebies not on pinterest or with your mates or ANYWHERE!!!.. please always direct people back to the source and always check the TOU... 

so once you've been and snagged your freebie you might just want to enter their current challenge like me ...which is "Sewing Faux or Real" ... and maybe you'll find another freebie or two :-)

So without further ado....here she is ... "Twinkle Toes"

So seeing as she is so super adorable I've kept everything simple...just a little hand stitched crosses in the corners and a little doodling round the edges..coloured with a mix of promarkers and copic ciao's. (I must get back into the habit of writing them down) 

Thanks for stopping by.....I'll be back VERY soon...

Drum roll please.....

Hi crafty peeps...well it's been a while since i've posted but i'm pleased to say I've finally moved house and i'm ready to get my craft back on...the past few weeks have been spent organising crafty space and unpacking boxes!!....hopefully i'll have something to share over the weekend and I'll also have some DT news to share very very soon...

Hugs Debs x

Hi peeps..you may have noticed I've not been around much lately..unfortunately life is getting in the way at the moment so I made the decision to step down from all DT commitments and i'm taking some time out..most likely until the new year..in the mean time i'm selling a lot of my crafty gear so will be listing on ebay over the next month so feel free to browse my listings there are many more stamps, dies flowers and papers to be added so you might snag a bargain

 

I'm leaving my blog active so people can still access tutorials etc :-) and see you all in the new year #fingerscrossed

Saturated Canary - Colouring Technique challenge

Hi crafty peeps...we have a brand new challenge over at Saturated Canary... "Colouring Technique" ... so we want to see either.. a cloudy sky..dotty background or "no lines" technique....

 

 

as you can see I've opted for "no lines"...so I've stamped out the gorgeous SC Little Ladybug from LDRS in Ranger Adirondack Sandal then coloured with Copic Ciao..I've also added a few dots to the blue background...no lines can be daunting but if you've not tried before why not give it a go...and remember I also have a simple step by step tut for a basic cloudy sky here...

 

thanks for stopping by

Graph'It Markers Colour Challenge - Colouring White

Soooo..are we all joining in with the new Graph'It Colour Challenge??..remember you can use ANY alcohol markers to play along !!

 

this week we are challenging you to "Colour White" and the DT have some fab tips for you

 

 

I use a few different techniques when colouring white areas depending on what it is ..for snow I tend to use a blue grey then use the blender to soften the edges as I have with the snowman..but for the fur hat I felt it needed a warmer more creamy white so used 3310, then 4170 and 4155 then using the blender in a dotting motion lifted areas of colour to add texture and finished with a few flicks of white gel pen ...the image is from the gorgeous Polkadoodles "Here Comes Christmas" CD and the papers are from the yummy "Angelberry Christmas"...

 

 

Graph'It Markers used

Skin - 4180, 4170, 4155

Browns - 3190, 3150, 3125, 3280, 3245

Reds, 5245, 5240 (deepen with brown 3190)
