Paws for Thought!

Hello everyone! It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge at Tiddly Inks!! Our theme this fortnight is "Paws for Thought", so think of all those little (or big) animal with paws ;)! I wanted to use one of Tiddly Inks cute dogs and make a scene, so paired up one with a Wryn I love...

Stamps: Tiddly Inks Happy Mail and I Wuf You clear stamp sets

Colouring: Acrylic Markers and Luminance pencils on Canson Mixed Media

I did a bit of masking to put my stamps together, stamping the dog first, then masking it, then I stamped my Wryn. I painted the background using acrylic markers and coloured my stamps using Luminance pencils - I just wanted to test the combination of acrylic and pencils and I quite like this one :)

Creative Craft Cottage - Anything Goes

Happy Little Stampers - Masking

MiC Fairies at Quixotic Paperie :)

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a Christmas inspired card I made with my Make It Crafty stamps available from Quixotic Paperie - the Fairy Tag Tops and Santa Tag Tops which are perfect to make tags, name tags, little projects... or ATCs ;) So here is my little ATC on card :)

I stamped the two fairies from the Fairy Tag Tops set and coloured them in pencils using a combination of Polychromos and Luminance pencils. For the background, I used an ATC and coloured it with my Blending Tool and different Distress Inks. Then I stamped the 2 words and heart that come from the Santa Tag Tops set in Versamark, stamped snowflakes from the Fairy set and embossed them in white.

Die: SCACD Dandelion Knoll Statement Corner

I had great fun colouring Nancy's Mech Seahorse, and challenged myself to try and make it look a bit metallic using pencils which was a first for me!

Tiddly Inks Fabulous Friday... and a sort of ATC:)

Hello everyone! It's Fabulous Friday at Tiddly Inks, so time share a little card... well, a little scene and more of an ATC than a card... I wanted to make another ATC scene (after the first ATC scene I made HERE) and then decided I could put my ATC on a blank card, which would make taking the photo easier... So here is my ATC on card blank:)

Bonjour à tous! C'est vendredi, l'heure de vous montrer une petite carte Tiddly Inks... enfin une petite scène, plus une ATC qu'une carte...

Voici le résultat de ce style nouveau :)...

Tiddly Inks New Boys and Their Toys Release!!!

Hello everyone! Have you enjoyed the Tiddly Inks Halloween Hop yesterday? If not, there is still time to join and try to win - you can start HERE! Yesterday, you had a little sneak peek of what was coming, NEW RELEASES, and it's happening today! There are super cute boys images, girls too oooh and even clear stamps!

For my make today, I thought I would make a little scene but a tiny one for a change, so I made an ATC using a super cute image and building a scene around it. 

Images: Tiddly Inks Dino-Mite, Make It Crafty The Ivy Swing (for the branches)

Colouring: Polychromos and Luminance on Daler Rowney

Isn't Dino-Mite fantastic? I just love this image! I thought I would add some nature around it, so I coloured little hills and bushes and added little branches at the top which are part of a Make It Crafty image, The Ivy Swing. Simple, but fun to make and colour:)!

To see more of this fantastic new release and to see what my talented teamies have made, just click HERE to visit the Tiddly Inks blog! Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely day!

Make it Crafty Melyssa

 Hello everyone! I'm here to share one of the gorgeous Make it Crafty Dreamy Eyes Portraits Collection and a little reminder that you still have time to enter our challenge at Make It Colourful - Colouring eyes! I picked Melyssa and decided I would try and practise my pencil colouring on this beautiful girl...

I was inspired by all my teamies' incredible work and tried to make Melyssa "pop", colouring the background in bright colours the way Zoe coloured her samples. I used Polychromos only for Melyssa, and Caran d'Ache Luminance for the blue background. My DPs are by Bo Bunny, I wanted them to really match my image - the pink DP on the right reminding Melyssa's bow on the left, and the blue DP my background on the right. I only added a little punched heart and that was it. Here is a close up of my image - IRL it is about 11x9 cm.

Image: Make it Crafty Melyssa digi stamp (also available in the Dreamy Eyes Portraits Collection)

Colouring: Polychromos and Luminance on Daler Rowney

Fairy Happy Day with Quixotic Paperie:)

Hello everyone! I'm back today with a card I made for Quixotic Paperie and I couldn't resist using another Tiddly Inks clear stamp set - I just love these stamps, love colouring them so much! For today, I have chosen one the gorgeous new fairies, Fairy Happy Day:)

I stamped Fairy Happy Day on watercolour paper to colour her with different sorts of pencils, both watercolour and dry. I used Neocolor II and Aquatone with water mostly for the background, and Polychromos and Luminance pencils for the fairy and details. The flower is from another Tiddly Inks clear stamp set - Harmony At Home. I watercoloured it to match the flowers in my image, cut it out and put it on foam.

Challenges I am entering:

Di's Digis - Summer Fun
