Smile Duckie

Hi there

I thought I'd go with something bright this grey January day for my Crafting from the Heart DT project! 

This image is from Just Inked and I chose it because it just made me smile. Its been coloured with promarkers (basic primary shades) and compiled in serif with some bright backgrounds and a simple embellishment

A child's wish

Hi there

This is my DT project for the Crafty Girlz challenge. It uses an image from A Day For Daisies which has been coloured with promarkers and pulled together in serif to make this little plaque

Huggy Bear

Hi there

This image from Bugaboo is part of a mini digi set which includes many other images. I thought this one was so cute and would make a sweet digi card together with the tag which also comes in the set

I've coloured this with promarkers in minimal shades and then compiled with a background and photo elements in Serif

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Aurora Wings - Snowman Sprite

Hi there

This little cutie is a free gift with purchase from the talented Mitzi at Aurora Wings - isn't he just so sweet :)

I've coloured him up with promarkers and as there is so much white in the image, I've used a little ice grey 1 to add some shade to the "snow". I've then taken the image into Serif to add the background and sentiment

The gift with purchase offer, when you spend more than $10, ends tonight so pop over to Aurora Wings quickly if you'd like to get him!

Birds on a Wire

Hi there

This is my DT project for the Crafty Girls Challenge blog, using a sweet image from Bugaboo.

I'm trying to build my digital craft skills with Serif but still love the physical art of colouring as I find it easier to shade and add dimension on an image using promarkers or colouring pencils rather than digital colouring.

For this design, the image was coloured using a limited set of promarkers and then cut out in serif and compiles with the background and font, finished with a light dusting of "digital snow" for the holidays

Masquerade

Hi there

My DT project this week for Crafting from the Heart uses this lovely sophisticated image from Aurora Wings. I've coloured the image with promarkers and then taken it into serif to layer it with a background. I've reduced the transparency of the image to blend it with the background paper and then overlayed it with glitter and a photo real gemstone

Who doesn't love the magic of a masquerade!

Fairy Bath

Hi there
