Baby Koko and Ladybug...

Hi everyone, dropping in today to share my latest card with you all.

I have used one of Bizzy Becs newest Digital Stamps and my card is for a special little someone, who will be turning two in the coming weeks.  Koko was lots of fun to colour  using  my Copics and I have highlighted the ladybug by adding some 3D crystal lacquer.

I also added some star sequins to the trim of the party hat and a little dot of  Diamond Stickles to each centre.   There is also a hint of Nuvo Glitter  Gloss on each balloon.  

 I am very happy with how my card turned out by using pink and greys.

Supplies used:

Bizzy Becs Digital Stamp - Baby Koko and Ladybug

Taylored Expressions Die -  Party Hat

Taylored Expressions Die - Up, Up and Away Cutting Plate

Taylored Expressions Die  and Stamp - Simple Strips Background

Dress My Crafts - Angel Mix Sequins

Until next time - Happy Crafting

For my card for this month I have chosen to colour a new digital image called Jewel.  She and her friends have recently been added to the store and are all super cute. 

 I have coloured her up using Prisma Coloured Pencils and have to say as my first ever image coloured with pencils was very pleased how she came together.  I will however change the type of paper that I print  onto in future when using pencils.  I used Xpressit paper which I found quite slippery.

Shop 'til you drop...

Hi everyone.

Wow what a day we are having.

 The weather in Perth today has been crazy wild.  It has been cold,  with very strong winds and heavy rain.  Trees down and lots of houses without power. 

So it has been a great day to stay inside and have a play with a newly acquired stampset

from Penny Black.

I have stamped this cutie onto patterned paper from my stash, and have 

coloured her up using Copic Markers, using a Nuvo glitter pen to

add accents to some of the shopping bags and balloon.

I have also used my white Gelly Roll pen to add high lights.

The following items have been used:

Penny Black Transparent Stamp - You're Retro

Lawn Fawn Stamp & Die Set - Hello Sunshine 

Nuvo - Glitter Gloss pen

Gelly Roll - White

Washi Tape

Thanks for dropping in, hope you are having a wonderful day.

Until next time - Happy Crafting
