Christmas Candles by Sweat Escape Digi

Hi all,

I love the non traditional Xmas colours I use with this Christmas Candle Digi, by Sweat Escape. I have decided to get a head start for 2016 Xmas cards! As I was so slack for this Xmas...

I have entries this card int the Sweat Escape December 2015 challenge theme - use your favourite embellishment. I used my die cuts. I like how I have cut out the bottom of this and had some of he Digi stick out from each side at he bottom.

I also thought it would be a good idea to start recording the colours I use in each project. As I'm always trying to remember what I used previously to get a certain colour, and it doesn't always work....!

Create and Learn Sept Class

Hi all,

Here is my finished Create and Learn marker class from Kit and Clowder from Sept. I know I'm a bit behind!

This is 5x7" in size, which is my largest colouring project yet! But as Aylce is such a great teacher it didn't feel overwhelming! I just focused on a bit at a time and before I knew it, it was finished!

Digi stamp from Mo's Digi Pencil called Bubble Girl, background created with the help of Aylce! Coloured with Copics.

Enjoy, Bec!

Xmas Digi from The East Wind

Hi all,

Here is Holly & Olive Digi from The East Wind, coloured with Copics.

I have entered her into Kit and Clowders Xmas Advent Colouring comp, that had to use this stamp, and to do something different. So I gave her red streaks in her hair!

I found her hair a bit of a challenge! But still happy with how she turned out...

Merry Xmas, Bec!

Digi from Faery Ink

Hi all,

Here is a FB freebie Digi that I received from Faery Ink. I will be entering her into their Red, Green & Gold theme colouring contest, if I can get her on a card over the coming days!

Tried to get some texture in the Xmas wreath and used Gold Shimmer for the dec's and Red shimmer for the candy canes.

Merry Xmas, Bec!

Xmas Card Swap with Kit and Clowder

Hi All,

Here is the card I sent off to the U.S, as part of the Kit and Clowder Xmas card swap. Using Xmas Marci from La La Land Craft stamps, coloured with Copics.

Now to wait for my card swap to arrive from the U.S.!

Fisherman Mixed Media

Hi all,

I put this mixed media together for a 60th birthday present/card. The Digi stamp is from Karen's Doodles, coloured with Copics. As you can guess, he is a mad fisherman!

This is my first attempt of water, I'm happy with the way it turned out!

This the the card Ainsley did with Lucas from LaLa Land Craft stamp and using Copics. Background stamps are from Kaszazz.

Third mixed Media Class started

Hi All,

Here is the finished Saturated Canary Digi stamp I have coloured with Copic, for the mixed media class I'm doing with Kit and Clowder. I love how we have got 3 total different looks form the one Digi stamp. Now just to start and finish the canvas she needs to go on!

Enjoy Bec

First finished Mixed Media, class project

Hi All,

Here is my first of 3 mixed media that I am doing with Kit and Clowder mixed media class. First time of doing this type of art. And I have to say it is fun as anything goes!

Size of the canvas is 5x7". So the Saturated Canary Digi stamp I used was my first large colouring with Copics, I have done. It is a lot easier to colour, not so small to get the detail. Compared to the others I have coloured before.

So here are some progress pictures and the finished project.

Enjoy, Bec!

Second Mixed Media Class

Hi all,

Here is a colouring from my mixed media class I am doing with Kit and Clowder. Using a Saturated Canary Digi Stamp, close up cropped version. Coloured with Copics. Loved how she turned out. Now to just finish the mixed media canvas to put her on!
