Snowflake Licking Fun!

Hi Everyone

I was sooooo excited to be invited to be Guest Designer this weekend for Sweet November Stamps A few weeks ago during a live colouring video Amy asked if there were any ideas for digi stamps. I piped in with a lamp post to go with Christmas characters as I really want to learn how to do glow in the sky. Low and Behold this weeks release is full of cute characters and a Lamp Post. So as I was not sure how to do glow I had to wing it but I think it doesn't look too bad. I am sure that Amy will colour one up in her videos and I will find out exactly how it should be done lol!

This weeks release has got a funny side to it. There are elves and reindeer and a couple of them are really quite cheeky with their tongues poking out. I used the Light Pole, Bow, Licking Reindeer and Laughing Elf. I just had to have the reindeer licking a snowflake off the elf's hair lol!

I have coloured the whole scene using Copics and a White Gelly Roll Pen. I even had a go at heat embossing the sentiment using WOW Powder.

I had such fun playing with these characters and I want to Thank Amy and Tee for having me for this release.

Snowy Scene for Snow Bear

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop

I just had to colour up Snow Bear for a second time and this time I did Lesson 2 from the Sandy Allnock Holiday Card Backgrounds Class to make a snowy fence scene.

I saw on one of her videos that she used Tim Holtz Distress Spray to add a snowy mist over her card so I ordered some and had a go at using this. I am never very successful with craft sprays but this was not too bad lol

The whole scene is coloured with Copics and a White Gel Pen

Snow Fun Mountain Scene

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop

I just love to create scenes. This background scene that has just been released is so fabulous and easy to create with.

It's called Snowy Mountains Backgrounds Stamp and I added two of the new characters to create this fun in the snow scene. Christmas Moose Marley and Snow Bear are having fun in the snow!

I coloured the whole scene using Copics and added Diamond Sparkles Glitter. The Winter Wishes sentiment is a clear stamp from Inkylicious and I inked it using Memento Tuxedo Ink

Winter Willow

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop

This is another of the latest Christmas Releases that have landed in the store.

This one is called Winter Willow and I have coloured her and her little deer friend up using Copics. I created most of the scene using Copics but the trees are a clear stamp from Inkylicious. I didn't trust myself not to ruin the whole scene by drawing in my own so I decided to use the clear stamp which is something I rarely do lol! I have also used a white Gel pen, a clear star Gelly Roll Pen and added Diamond Sparkles Gllitter. The sentiment is hand stamped and is from Stampingallday. The background is inspired by Adventures in Colouring With Amy

Bungee Gnomes

Hi Everyone

Here is my last card for this month for Conie Fong Art

I got a little creative with this image and turned it upside down. I drew in the Top of a Christmas Tree and a couple bits of bungee rope and made it look like these gnomes have had to stack up and bungee to get the Star on the Top! Reminds me of Polar Express (My favourite Christmas Film) when the Elves bungee to put the star on from the airship lol!

The image is called Christms Gnome Stack and I coloured it using Copics

I have been asked what Copics I used to create the Top of the Tree. I am usually really rubbish at keeping lists but I did manage to write these down!

G29, YG67, YG17, G24 & G21

The image is called and I coloured it using Copics
