Eggs and Cakes

Last night I let my self be seduced by the idea of digital stamps. I've always loved colouring and will take any chance I can get to sit down with my Laurentian pencil crayons to colour. I went through a digital dolling phase (if you don't know, please don't ask it was an interesting phase) and that helped me with shading... a little.

I am no artist, but I like colouring so when I went to Tiddly Inks I was pleased to find very pretty imagines that I might be able to colour. Now I know this is a dangerous road because I will want to keep purchasing more and more images, and then different colouring mediums (copics anyone?), so I am going to be careful about being happy with a few images and my plain old pencil crayons.

I bought four or five different images last night and this is the result of my first. I had a little bit of trouble picking out the colours for her hair, I knew I wanted her to be a red head as this card will probably be for my mom, but I didn't want it to be too orange. In the end I am happy with the results.

I  am planning on entering her into the Tiddly Inks CAS challenge.... not sure that she qualifies but might as well try!

This next card was inspired by a video by Kristina Werner. I watch her videos on a daily basis, she's got a great voice to listen to and is very good at explaining herself. It's because of her I have an order of heat embossing stuff on the way to my house.

The video that I used to make this card is here. Her's is a lot cuter, but I tried. I don't know if I like what I did. I used my Cricut and tried to adapt, but I don't know if it worked so very well.

Okay well that's all for now. I'm sure there will be more soon as I am so inspired by all the challenges out there!!
