Dr Digi: Sit Happens

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here with my Dr Digi post.  This little bugger was a hard one!!

I created a card using Buddhist Bernie.  The image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  You are probably wondering what so hard about this cute and easy design.   Why I needed yoga and sitting after this card.

Getting the picture to look like the card.  The bright foil background paper made it very difficult getting the pic to look correct.  Bernie's clothes didn't look like, his skin tones didn't look right, the background was smacking you the face with it's brightness.  Bernie was a good sport and after 50+ pics I finally decided on the closes ones and moved on.  He is still sitting happily on his pillow.  Namaste Bernie :o)

Here's the bright inside.

Mix It Up! Challenge Blog #15: Dino-mite

Hello crafty friends!  It's a new month and lots of new challenges begin.  Today is my 3 sister challenge posts. 

This is my post for Mix It Up! Challenge Blog, this month is about "Mixed Media".  So, mix it up and show us your creations.

I create a mixed media canvas using Polkadoodles image, Sticks & Bones Dinosaur T Rex.  This is the last canvas I needed to make for some cousins.  The dino was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  Each and every scale was hand drawn into the image as I colored.   The volcano was a pre-colored image in the collection set, that I brushed some darker inks on top.  The canvas was sprayed with distressed and alcohol inks...they didn't want to play well this time.  I don't know if it was the colors, but I had to put a sealant on top so it would quit rubbing off. 

You can see the stencil for the bottom, that I just sprayed over.  The top I used my fingers to add texture and a little volcano action.  The sentiment is also from the collection.

embellishments: Bead Landing: found objects charms & pendants

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #24: Elfy Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  Please don't be mad, because Christmas will be here faster than you know it and cards need to be started.  I hate to think about Christmas just being right around the corner, but it is and I don't want to be running around trying to finish up cards at the last minute.

This is my post for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, it's always "Anything Goes".

This fun image is from Bloobel, which she is sadly closed her doors on June 30th.  Meet Christmas Ball Billy, he was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  Just kept the design very simple to focus on the funny image.
