Don't be a Dinosaur!

The dinosaurs are still going strong over at Sweet Sentiment Stamps. Here I have created a A5 card with a group of the dinosaurs (stamps used from the RAWR collection), coloured using my Tri-Blend Pens again. 

This time I colour one girl in pink as she's is the leader, and rest are in blue.  I love this sentiment too, as it makes you think. 

You don't always need to make a background for your cards if you already have either a paper or digital kit. I made this background using the digital collection called Sticks and Bones from Polkadoodles. What I love about these digital kits is you get black and white as well as coloured images to play with. I use a old graphics software called Serif CraftArtist 2, this lets me come up with a with a background that I can then print off and just stick my stamped images too.  

You don't have to stick to one brand when making a card etc mix your brands up use that stash you've got. Just be mindful when posting a photo within a group of that groups rules. But do remember to always give full credit to all companies you do use.

Go have a look on the Sweet Sentiment shop for the full range of stamps, some also have dies available (I used my Scan'N'Cut to cut my stamps out).

Digital and hand coloured Card

Image
I've been having a play with the newly released Plans with my Cat digital stamp! I wanted to show that you can mix full on digital and hand colouring together.  In this card the cat has been coloured but the background is all created digitally then printed. I wanted to show that you can produce a background using kits with your computer as maybe you don't have many supplies or just just don't like doing background. I used a digital kit I already had that has the separate embellishments.  Kit used was Polkadoodles Horace & Boo Collection. I use Serift CraftArtist which has been discontinued but a lot still use this fab software.  https://www.sweetsentiment.us/ https://www.facebook.com/sharonscraftyplace #sweetsentimentstamps #sweetsentiment #copiccoloring #triblendpens

New Release Day

Image
Well its that time of the month again when Sweet Sentiment bring out new stamps. I've also moved over to the main DT as it gives me more scope and more designs to play with.   This month I've chosen the Swamped Stamps set as these cute guys.  I also thought this would be good for male cards and Fathers Day isn't that far off.  Aren't these stamps just so cute! My First cards, I've done a splodgy wash background with watercolours and added some splodges too.  The white circles are dies cuts (dies from Carnation Crafts - Eyelet & Ring Collection) and I had some waterdrop beans from my stash. Matted onto a 6in card. This is my second card this time I've got a very faint wash behind the circle die cut I coloured in the characters using Tri-Blend Pens I used my scan'n'cut to cut them out with a 2mm boarder. Matted onto a 6in card.  Come and join the FB group for more ideas and the rest of the new stamps too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/234249981697602

Not been the best month

Well I will be so glad when February is over with.  What with trying to slice my thumb off with a mandolin I have for the last 2 weeks been suffering with a bad cold, luckily it wasn't Covid but it was bad enough.  I'm still not really over it but getting better everyday.
