Gingerbread House

Hi Everyone

I love this time of year when all the new Christmas Images are released.

I jumped in with both feet this month after seeing the bonus class at Kit and Clowder was Gingerbread Colouring.  I have always disliked how my gingerbread people turn out and so I signed up to join the monthly class so that I could get the bonus Gingerbread class and learn how to colour it up so that it looked ok.

I am sooooo happy with how this turned out.  To find out more about Kit and Clowder colouring classes click HERE

This is coloured with Copics and a White Gelly Roll pen.
The photo really doesn't due it justice lol.  The Card Blank is a 7" Square.   I layered the finished image onto Gold Glitter and Gold Mirror Card and stamped the sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges


I don't normally do many close ups but as I am so pleased with my colouring here are a few!!




Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and share this card with me.  Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think.  Hope to see you again soon.

Santa's Gifts

Hi Everyone

This is my second post today showcasing another new release from Digi Doodle Studios 


I so love colouring Santa's and this one is particularly CUTE

He is called Santa's Gifts and I have coloured him with Copics, ProMarkers and a White Gelly Roll Pen.

I made this card ready for our youngest Son.  The image is just prefect for him and this card needed no frills so I printed it quite large so it would take up alot of the card front.

I added some Diamond Sparkles to the furry bits.

Witchy Shoes

Hi Everyone

Its such an exciting day for me.  Digi Doodle Studios did a new release on 6th October and the team have been showcasing them daily.  It feels like its taken forever to get around to my turn lol.  

I love all the new releases and I had trouble deciding which one to work with so I went for two (the other is in a separate post today!)  

You can find all the new releases and the other fabulous images in the store HERE 


This one is called Witchy Shoes and I fell in love with this.  I usually colour up people/animals and this was a pleasant change as there was no skin, hair or fur to colour!  I had such fun with the tights!

I used Copics to colour this up and added sparkle to the star wreath at the top using a Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen.  I hope that you can see this in the close up photo.  I used Memento Inks to go round the image this was a mix of Grey and Yellow to take off the white around the image!

The card blank is a 7" Square and I used black shimmer card and yellow bazzill as the frame layers.  The spotty paper is a digital download which I bought a few years ago on Etsy.

The "Halloween" and the bows are both Tattered Lace dies which came in the Advent calendar a couple of years ago!

I really did love colouring this one up and think its jumped up to number one on my DDS favourite list.
