Have you seen the new Holly digis that were released this month? Wow they are beautiful! There are eight gorgeous images to choose from and they come as pre-coloured or as a black and white image if you fancy colouring your own.

Here she is partially coloured. For her skin tone I used three colours: natural beige, oatmeal and beige then I added in some pale pink and finally pink for the cheeks. For her hair I used natural beige, beige and dark brown.

The dots are on her dress are pebeo drawing gum. Once you have finished colouring you just rub them out and you end up with white polka dots.

Winter Birthday Celebrations Shaker Card Coloured with Zig Watercolour Pens

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are having a relaxing and creative Sunday and  I hope you are all well.

Today I am popping in with some Polkadoodles inspiration.

I have made a shaker card and coloured up a beautiful Winnie from the Winter Birthday Celebrations collection called 'Invitation'. She can be bought as a black and white or pre-coloured imaged.

I have put links to the materials I have used at the bottom of this post, just click on a picture to be taken directly to the product.

I have coloured her with my new Zig Watercolour pens which I was to lucky to receive as a Christmas present, I am so in love with them. They blend beautifully and have a great brush tip. There are so many different ways they can be used too.

Around the outside of the image, I have sprinkled some shabby white frantage.

Zig pens list:
Skin: Natural Beige, Oatmeal, Beige, Pink
Hair: Natural Beige, Brown, Dark Oatmeal
Coat and hat: Pale Pink, Light Pink
Dress: Natural Beige, Dark Oatmeal
Scarf: Blue Gray
Balloon: Pale Pink
Post Box: Natural Beige, Beige, Dark Oatmeal
Gloves: Pale Pink

The gorgeous polka dot paper was printed from the Work and Play 10 Paper Heaven 6 collection

 I have cut the pretty Daisy Border die in brown card, I then cut it a second time in the polka dot paper, cut out some of the daisies and added them to the daisy border and added a few white pearls to finish it off.



This gorgeous flower was cut from the Daisy Cluster die in the pink polka dot paper and I inserted a few stamens into the middle.

That's all from me today.

Thank you for popping in.

Hugs

A Saturated Canary Stamp for the Brand New Challenge at Ally's Angels

Hi everyone,

Happy Friday! Well it's been a busy first week back at school, but a fun week too. I hope you have a  fabulous and hopefully crafty weekend:)

We have our first challenge of the year at Ally's Angels and as always the theme is .......

Anything Goes

I coloured up an old Saturated Canary stamp called Yuki. She is an older stamp, but I still love colouring her. She has been coloured with distress reinkers.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen

Dress and Shoes: Victorian Velvet, Gathered Wood

Tights: Victorian Velvet, Antique Linen

I've tucked a paper doily just under the image on the left hand side and the pretty die cut on the right hand side is cut from a Joy Crafts die. The gorgeous swirl is a Magnolia Doo Hickeys die cut.

The cute little 'With Love' tag is from an LOTV set of tag stamps and the little stamp (on the right hand side) is from a Marianne set of stamps, both have been stamped with walnut stain distress ink.

The winner of this challenge will receive this lovely prize:

That's all from me today.
