Autumn Colouring

Autumn is my favourite season, I just adore the colours of  crispy, crunchy leaves underfoot whilst still feeling relatively warm with the occasional blue sky ~ Bliss

So when the design team at Polkadoodles were asked to use 'Autumn Colours' as their inspiration. I decided to use a colouring page and my pencils. You of course can follow the 'Anything Goes' course if you wish?

Firstly I dragged my chosen image into my graphics programme and added the word Autum to the centre.

Next I used shades of what remind me of Autumn....

Finally I covered my colouring in a double sided sticky sheet and then glittered it. I then trimmed it down to fit in a wooden 5x7 frame which I'd 'Autumned up' too! Apologies for the glare on the finished project x

I do hope you like this weeks creation? Many thanks for stopping by, please feel free to leave me a comment. I love to read them!

The above Christmas Fairy creation was coloured with my Graph'it Markers.

This cute little bag was decorated up using pre~coloured mages from the Baked With Love collection. I printed the little chap out and copied & pasted him 4 times to create my own decoupage.

Cards don't always have to be fussy. Sometimes CAS will suffice.

This cute little easel card was a fun make and gave me a chance to play with my pencils. I was also able to use my flower dies with the perfectly matched flower sheets on the Winnie Winterland collection.

I'm still in full on Christmas mode. Sorry to those of you that are sick of it but if I'm ever to make a dent in the list of cards that need to be made it needs to be my number one focus at the moment. I had a look through my collections to see what I could colour in for my Inky Pinkies make this week and I decided to create a little scene using Hollybobs Mailbox from the Festive Hollybobs collection,  coloured it in with my Lyra Rembrandt pencils, added snowflakes from the Red, Red Robin Stamp Set and finished the scene off with some of Polkadoodles fabulous new dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by I do love to read all your comments.

Brrrrrr Winter Blues.

Morning all I wanted to do something a little bit different for my Inky Pinky make this week. So I bought a pack of 5 x 7 canvases and had a little play and this is the result........

I built the background up using acrylic paints, stamps, ink & gesso then stuck on the cute little digi snowman which was coloured using my pencils (body: 01, 50, 49, 48, nose: 09 13, 15, hat/scarf:17, 18, 21, 24, 83, 82, 80, 76, 75, 02) I then thought it'd be cute to have him juggling a few snowflakes.

Floral Dies by Polkadoodles

Wow! I've just had my first play with the new Flowers 1 Die from Polkadoodles OMG they're amazing. They cut with one pass thru my machine I'm in love and I can't wait to increase my collection.

I decided to just cut a few flowers and leaves out on white card and coloured them in with my Lyra Rembtandt pencils (flowers: 07, 08, 09, 13 leaves: 63, 67, 68, 70, 71) I shaped them with a ball tool and soft mat and then layered them up.

I think it's made a rather pretty CAS card. What do you think?

Exciting News

I must share my exciting news with you, my colouring must've progressed as I've been asked to join the design team over at The Pencil Case. I adore using lyra pencils so how could I refuse.

For my first make I've used the fabulous Oddella Heart digi (skin: 32, 90, 87, 82, blush: 29, 31, hair: 84, 83, 82, 80, 76, 75, eyes: 71, 70, 68, clothing: 71, 70, 68, 26, boots: 21, 26, 95, 96, 97, heart/lips: 21, 26)

I used some tartan paper from my crafty stash, made a little 'TUDE tag and added a bow and some gemstones to finish it off.
