digi stamps and physical papers

I have chosen one of the gorgeous digis that were recently released as part of the Polkadoodles birthday celebrations, I used one from the Ruth bundle. I think this is such a fab image and have wanted to colour it for ages. I picked some colours from the Kaisercraft papers I used to colour my image in with so it all co-ordinated and added some vellum bunting to embellish.

digi choosday - about the boys

It's all about the guys at digi choosday this week. I used a cute Emma Canning digi for my card this week, Love Boy, and I coloured him sepia trying to keep the card fairly monotone. Unfortunately I had a glitter mishap trying to embellish the love heart so I had to improvise and make a kraft card heart for the boy to carry. I have used brown spotty papers from the Christmas Joy bundle and extra embellishments from Sugar boys collection.

Digi Choosday - dots and stripes

I have used spotty and stripey papers for my card this week, classic and classy I think. These are both from Dollie Daydream as is the sentiment and it all tied in perfectly with the digi, Kiss The frog from Emma Canning. I did a bit more experimenting with my colouring this week, but the skin tone was a bit strong.

Digi Choosday- holiday

I have built a scene up to make my own holiday scene this week using this cute Emma Canning digi. I liked the idea of a summer birthday card for a teen so I set the guitar player on the beach, I was tempted to try colouring a camp fire but chickened out. I like to think outside the box with digis, it gives them a new dimension.
Thanks for looking, hope you can join in the fun this week at the Digi Choosday blog.

charisma- May flowers

The challenge for this fortnight at Charisma Cardz is May Flowers, and I have used an image from our sponsor The Paper Shelter. I have coloured her in Promarkers, it's not my best colouring I have got used to copics now, but I don't have enough colours especially pinks and purples which are must haves for spring flowers.
I hope you can join in the fun and checkout the DT makes they are gorgeous as ever!

digi choosday - embellishments

I don't like to go over mad with embellishments, it's not my style I like a clean and simple approach so I kept it simple and subtle for this week's challenge. I made my own flowers just using white card and a bit of distress ink and gems, and let the image take over the card (found on the Bonbon Belles CD rom).

cupcake topper - digi choosday

The challenge at Digi Choosday this week is to create something for a child's birthday party. Something that can be a bit off putting about making party decorations and favours is having to make lots and lots of the same thing, but digi images makes it easier to bulk make unique decorations. I have used just one element from the flowers and leaves digi bundle and just diecut and decoupaged and added gems for a pretty party cupcake topper, you could add children's names to the back for a personalised touch.
