Ahoy There!

This is a card I made with digi stamp Ahoy There! from Artby Barb.
Right now you can purchase this image by texting in the facebook group. But soon you  will also find the image in etsy store  - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ArtbybarbDesigns?ref=hdr_shop_menu


I have colored the image using copic markers. And also added a bit of acrylic paint for white foam of the sea. The sentiment stamp and the die cuts are from heartfelt creations - everyday hero set.

Flower Nap

Here is another image from ArtbyBarb colored up.
Wasn't happy with the coloring though so will try again after a while.
I am having problems with hair because of blurry vision. Also with color going out of the lines.
But anyway I am having fun coloring.

Cute as a button FB Challenge

Made a card for Cute as a Button FB Challenge.
Took out the cricut explore and cut out the basic card shape.
Yeah this month I have used  3 machines - the silhouette , cricut and scan N cut. Only the knk sleeps.




The image a freebie if you follow the rules is colored with copics.
The 2 sentiment stamps are from 3 birds and the shells are Anna Griffin Stamps. Pched out some flowers and added them in with some pearls and rhinestones.
The shape is a cricut image. I could have welded it but it would have been too big to cut out if I wanted to fit the mermaid in. So I cut them out and created a hinge to attach them. They are easily hidden with the other layers placed over them.

Hello Cupcake - Lily of the Valley

There is a coloring party at kit and clowder facebook group. Lily of the valley has given a freebie Hello Cupcake which you can get by joining  kit and clowder facebook group from here.


I have colored it using copics. The die cut never enough cake is a cricut die cut from once upon a princess cartridge. I have cut that using cricut explore through cricut design space. Sized it about 3" or so. It has been such a long time since I last used the explore. Have to use it more.
The pattern paper is DCWV sweet treats. 
After coloring the picture  I realized I had made an error in the hat ribbon. So tried fixing it using the colorless blender . Thankfully the brown color wasn't dark enough and was easy to fix . But not so the socks and shoes. As it is red didn't want to touch it. Maybe have to color once more again.
