I needed a break from Christmas Cards so I made this fun Birthday Card for no one in particular, although I thought I would add it to the Make it Colourful Competition hard challenge - muscle definition, but is three cards in one challenge too much?? I have loved learning how to do this and find I can't colour a being that has definition without applying some, whereas before I added some shadow and was happy with that lol Oh these challenges are wonderful :)
 

and here's a closer look
 

Oh to have a figure like that lol.
 


 
Have a great day :)

Hello, when I checked out the Make it Crafty facebook page today I noticed Zoe had put up a very special post from The Squirrel and The Fox Blog asking crafters to join them in there challenge with the theme 'Use Violet' to support their DT member Mags B and daughter Sacha who are currently fighting Hodgkin's Lymphoma so I decided the least I could do was make a card and 'Use Violet' so here it is.
 

So I will be entering this into The Squirrel and The Fox Challenge 57
 

 
and I will also enter it into the Make it Crafty FB Challenge 3
 
 
Hope you like it :)

Here's a card I made today for a good friends birthday, I used Gumnut Curly Top from Make it Crafty http://www.makeitcrafty.com/aussie-outback-sheila-digi-stamp-clone.html
I coloured her with Copics.
 

Here are a few progressive pic's
 
 
 
 
 
I'm pretty happy with her although I did her freckles to dark ;)
 
Copic Colours Used Were
E0000, E000, E50, E51, E53 & E93 for the skin (not my usual choice)
W3 & W6 for the Gumnuts,
BG93, YG63, YG67 for the Gum leaves,
E40, E41, E42, & E43 for the Hair,
Y15 & RV29 for the Gumnut flower part of the dress,
R24, R27, R46 & R89 for the main part of the dress
and W6, W3 7 W1 for the shading.
 
I will enter this into the Make it Colourful Challenge both Easy and Hard sections
I will also enter this into the November Make it Crafty FB Challenge

Hello again, I decided I would enter this pic into the latest Make it Colourful Challenge http://www.makeitcolourful.com/challenges/challenge-3-skin-muscle-definition I'm going to enter this into both the easy and the hard challenge as I think it cover both criteria's. The easy challenge asks for different skin colours and this is definitely different. I used Cool Greys for the skin C0,C1,C2,C4 & C7. The hard challenge calls for muscle definition and this guy sure has that :)
 
 
This was so much fun to colour, wish me luck for the comp :)

Hi, I was asked today to do a tutorial on spotlights, having never done a tutorial before I was a bit concerned but thought oh well I'll give it a go. Please forgive me it is very photo heavy. So here it is.
 
1st Picture is of the 'Studio Set' from Make it Crafty
 

2nd,3rd,4th,5th & 6th Picture's- Working out the angle of the spotlight. I used a metal ruler and a grey lead pencil to lightly draw it in.
 





7th Picture - Then I used a 2 inch circle shape to trace in the 'SPOT'.
 

8th & 9th Pictures - using an eraser to clean up the image, then coloured the entire image with my lightest colour C0.


10th Picture - I used C1 around the spotlight, then used the eraser again to remove most of the pencil marks.
 

11th, 12th, 13th & 14th Pictures - Adding darker colours to outer spotlight area, C2,C4,C5 & C6.
Then I went over the whole image with C0.
 




15th Picture - I darkened some areas with N6 to get a bit more depth then added 50 Shades of Sexy from Redonkadoodles https://www.redonkadoodles.com/Digital-Stamps/digital-stamp-fifty-shades-of-sexy
 
 
Well there it is my first tutorial hope it's ok.

Hello again, I'm practicing for the latest Make it Colourful Challenge http://www.makeitcolourful.com/challenges/challenge-3-skin-muscle-definition I've coloured this little cutie from Make it Crafty http://www.makeitcrafty.com/aussie-outback-sheila-digi-stamp-clone.html Gumnut Curly Top. I have tried using different colours for her skin and have tried to add some muscle tone as well. I used E11, E13, E15 and E17.
 

I love how these challenges put me out of my comfort zone and teach me new techniques. I'll keep practicing as I don't think this one is quite ready. Thanks for visiting xx.
