Vixie the vampire

Hey peeps!

Mona here, back with a new creation featuring the newly released image by Hannah Lynn. She is called Vixie and she is available here.

I had so much fun colouring her up. I tried out a new colour combo for her hair and i think it worked perfectly, lol. I`m not so good at colouring black hair but when i blended some blue with some of the black it gave the illusion of her having black hair with blue shimmer. I also put in some funky pink/purple highlights, lol. Info about the colours you can find in my blog.



I also have the card from the previous digi challenge to show you. Here i have used another newly released image by Hannah Lynn. She is called Snow White and she is available here.



Info about the colours you can find here.


There is still time to grab this fabulous deal, so make sure to use the opportunity to get some great items at a great price.

Hannah Lynn and Sara Burrier

Good morning all.Its my turn (Coops) to share some cards here with you today and i have 3 as i really love the latest release of digital stamps at the CRAFTS & ME store so i have been happily colouring away :D
The first card is this one using the fabulous digital stamp  CHELSEA by HANNAH LYNN.
She is so stunning and for the sea i used distress ink on an acrylic block and sprayed a little pearl mica mist on, mixed them together and then i painted it on my background so the sea really shimmers irl.
 She is a stunner and i added lot of little pearls and gems to the treasure chest.

 A close up of Chelsea

For my 2nd card i have used another new release digital stamp.this one is FRENCHIE FRIENDS MICHELLE & JOJO.

 Another really beautiful image and lots of little details to colour in.
I went all feminine with this one, very girly.I again used pearl shimmer spray on the background but this time i used my promarker on the acrylic block with the spray.It gives a lovely shimmer and is another way of using your promarkers for a different effect.

A close up pic.

And finally my 3rd card which i made for the current Crafts and Me Challenge which is Add a ribbon. You still have time to join in with us and there will be a new challenge with the Rubber girls tomorrow.
For my challenge card i have used one of the new release digital stamps.This one is HIDDEN by SARA BURRIER

I went quite shabby with this one and cut out the beautiful image so that i could place her right in the middle of my card.Lots of sparkle on her wings too.
And another close up.She is really lovely to colour especially her dress.
Thanks so much for looking and i hope you love the new releases as much as i do.
Before i go you might want to hop on over to the CRAFTS & ME store because there is a
ROYAL JUBILEE SALE UP TO 20% OFF ALL WOODEN,CLEAR,FOAM BACKED & MAGNETIC STAMPS MUST FINISH ON THE 9TH JUNE SO GRAB YOUR BARGAINS.

Love Life

Hi Peeps,

I have a simple card for you today, I know, shock, horror she's tried it again, lol. Only thing is I have used cryogen white cardstock to stamp my image onto and it is slightly off white against white card, but oh well.

The image is Love Life by Zindy Nielson available from Crafts and Me and I have coloured this image using just the one pencil, 90% cool grey prisma.




The beautiful scroll die is by Memory Box and is also available at Crafts and Me.


And here's my challenge card using Foxglove by Janna Prosvirino, isn't she beautiful.


I have also used two more memory box dies on this card, the Vivienne Butterfly and the Catalina Border, both available from Crafts and Me.  The backing paper is from one of the digi collections at Crafts and Me HERE.



Have a good weekend Everyone.
