HAPPY FISH DT - DIGITAL DELIGHTS

Hello Everyone...and welcome to Delightful Thursday at Digital Delights ..

Time for the DT to showcase some cute images that Wendy has over at the Shop

This week I went all fishy...with Happy Fish

He is so cute and so easy to colour...you can make him any colour of the rainbow..

I coloured Happy Fish with copics this time and added gold gel pen to his fins and tail..
white gel pen for his cheeks [some fish have freckles you know!]

Added glass bubble gems and tied a fancy knot in the cord along the bottom.

The background is a fish tank poster...the ones you stick at the back of your tank to make it pretty...I photographed it and shrunk it down...the man in the pet shop looked at me rather strangely...I just smiled and said "pretty isn't it"..and walked off..lol..

So there we go...a simple but colourful card..and you can check out what my teamies have done HERE

SOCCER DOG - DT FOR STAMPFAIRY

Hello Everyone..

First off, thank you all so much for your wonderful comments on my pirate card the other day..I had such fun making it...and the message 'got home' to the boys concerned....not that they were digging for treasure...but they needed to sort things out and learn to work as a group...so far so good.

Todays card is much quieter [is that a word?]..much more quiet...[sounds better]..but very cute...

This is Charlie Happy Life 3 from Stampfairy  ..[psst...big sale over at the store]..

Charlie is all coloured up with Faber Castell pencils in a patchy way and fussy cut out....the sky DP is a freebie from 'Bird'   and I botched the grass..[sigh]..and never saw it until I was water marking my card and just didn't change it..should have lined it up seam to seam and I didn't.

Oh! dear...looks worse here..just dont look....

The goal post was a freebie off the net and used my fiskars grass punch...nice and simple.

That's me done...I'm so tired lately...must be the change of the seasons..or could it be all the good TV programs late at night...mmmmm.

Pixie Caramel for munchies tonight...been a good girl for a few days now but the weak side of me has kicked in..Pixie Caramel is a long bar of thick chewy caramel toffee coated with thick dark chocolate in case you didn't know..yum!!!

See you tomorrow..

SUNSHINE..WARMTH..AND PIRATES!!

Hello Everyone...

YAY!! it is Friday and I have a long hard weekend with work..but it is still Friday...so that is a bonus..

I'm hear to share my DT card for STAMPFAIRY and a whole lot of Pirates...

All the pirates [Bears]  I used were from the Lenny Pirates Collection ...

So lets get started...

This is Lenny the pirate and he has been on this Island for weeks [hence the shadow of whiskers]..looking for his buried treasure....but with out success...he forgot where he buried it and lost his treasure map.

Further up the beach there was another wee Bear sitting under the shade of the palm trees..and he did have a map...but..it is the wrong one and he forgot his glasses so cannot read a thing...

To the left of him.. Lenny's map is laying there half buried in the sand..

On up the beach and two more Bears.. they have found a chest..BUT..is it the real thing?...and where is their map?.How did they know to look there?

Well!..I say to them all if they worked together in the first place they would have been happier pirates and I'm sure there is enough treasure to go around....there usually is..so sharing could have been the important thing here...right??

Once again from the side..very hard to photograph as there were so many shadows..

And the ingredients....

The ship from the net...coloured with Faber Castell pencils...the sky inked up with distress inks.

The Lenny collection of Bears  all coloured with pencils...

The Palm trees off the net coloured with inks and sponges [saved time]then fussy cut out...[didn't save time took me forever!!!]

The map I made and burned the edges and my finger with a lighter...

The barrels off the net [used them before but this time shrunk them right down to fit and fussy cut out.]

Marianne shell and starfish dies..

Seagulls off the net..fussy cut too..

And that is about that...

Trying to teach a few young boys a moral..share and be honest and everyone comes out on top...selfishness only causes bitterness and problems..hopefully this will give them the message..

This card was a commissioned project...and if the man gets the story behind it right it may just work..lol..

See you tomorrow and thanks ever so much for stopping by...

It’s time for Delightful Thursday at the  Digital Delights Blog..this is when the DT show case some of the fabulous images Wendy has over at the shop ..

This week I was able to play with this charming wee chap....

Driving Mister Scottie  ....

Ahhh!...a boy and his dog....off for a Sunday drive with the top down..

No papers...just plain green..black and grey card stock and a white gel pen..

Scottie and his wee pal were coloured with Faber Castell pencils...
The car with a red copic R27...the headlights with Y08..

All the 'chrome' with a silver gel pen and tyres with pencils..

The house border die is from Cheery Lyn 'Neighborhood border'

The Trees a Marianne Creatables [still my most favourite tree die]and the light green is the reverse to the bright green...now that was a saving..

DANDELION SPRITE

Hello Everyone....nothing much to say today but...Brrr...goosebumps on top of goosebumps...

Have a card to share today for a challenge at Aurora Wings ..using one of their gorgeous wee Sprites...although the shop says it has not got it...I think it must have been a freebie then...and I'm using it now..

There she is....such a pretty wee thing...

All coloured up with Faber Castell pencils....green..purple and grey...but I added some gold gel pen and the grey went green...

A close up of this cute Sprite and stippled the sky in distress ink and a sea sponge...something a bit different.

The side view...papers are from Rosies Studio.."Prim and Proper"

The pearl string and flowers from my stash..

The tag you ask...well..I've been asking myself that too...

I have a rubber stamp from Rubbadubbadoo of this Dandelion and just thought I would stamp it and stick it here as a tag..

Okay that's it...going to schedule this card as it is time to go to work for the tea rounds..

FIRE!! FIRE!!

Hello Everyone...

THE BIG CHILL...sweeping it's way through both Islands and talk about cold!!...I dont do heat very well.. and I like the Winter, but boy- oh -boy you do forget how cold July can get over here...lol.

We have the Winter bloomers out at 'My Ladies' house and devils of things to get dry..she is 96 and thinks this is the coldest Winter she has ever been through..[.she said that last year too]..and even says it in Autumn...but it is very cold.

I have a card to share today using the ever cute Barry from the Halloween 2 collection..
from Stampfairy

And here he is as a little  'Firebear'..

Such a fun image to colour...using Faber Castell pencils...his hat and fire hydrant with a red copic and shaded with a green pencil.

His cheeks are all rosy..probably from the heat and the papers are Authentique.."Endless and Fair Weather"..love these for boy cards.

The little buckets are off the net and fussy cut out with glossy accent drips on the side and seed beads with glossy accents for the water...coloured with Pencils again.

The side view...I used two stamps for the sentiments....this card went to a young man who has dreamed of being a fireman all his life and has just made the grade..both were wooden stamps...some little cheapies I've had for years...

Last side view....dont know why I've started doing two!.. but there you go..

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a peak and thanks so much for all the comments you leave..means so much..

Off to find some challenges...
Found some!

NEW RELEASE AND NEW CHALLENGE - LACY SUNSHINE

Hello Everyone...

Raining...raining...raining..today and cold!!...but I have noticed,even though this is the coldest month of the season,is that the mornings are slightly lighter at 6.00am...so that must mean we are starting the turn...then I can start to moan how hot I am..lol..

I'm here today to share a new release for Lacy Sunshine and a new challenge starting over at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog  ...

I was so impressed with all the entries in our last challenge...all of them were just lovely...so many gorgeous under the sea Christmas cards and projects...thanks to all who played along....

This weeks challenge theme is "Flowers"...

And this is the cutie I was able to play with...she comes in three parts...the pot..the bamboo with leaves and of course the Pretty...

LUCKY BAMBOO...FLOWER POT PRETTIES

There she is...isn't she lovely...

She is coloured up with Faber Castell pencils and copics.

I printed the bamboo out 6 times and fussy cut all the leaves and bamboo stalks
and the gorgeous image!!...that's a lot of fussy cutting..

I embossed a Chinese or Japanese stamped image on the front of the pot and embossed it in gold..then coloured the pot  with R17 red copic...

The stamp spells out "Friendship"...but as I only used one half of the stamp this says either "Friend" or "Ship"...

The side view....the papers from Rosies studio "Regal Collection"...the butterfly from my stash..and lots of liquid pearls...

The other side..I cut a twig off my flowering and messy Camellia and glued on silk blossoms and added a thin gold bow.

And last but not least....this was the inspiration photo I found on the net on how to do my Bamboo....

And there you go...

Thanks so much for stopping by...hope to see you over at Lacy Sunshine and if you click HERE you will see what my very talented teamies have done too...

See you tomorrow..
