Xmas doggy

Hi Crafty peeps!

Today fast post with Xmas card my man asked me for his work mate.

Image called Be Merry and Bright Pup from Tiddly Inks.

I used Prismacolor pencils to colour it. Isn't this pup cute?

Decided to make my card as simple as possible, used only one DP and gold mirri card.

Hope you like it.

Till next post!

For my Dad

Hiya Crafties!

I was always kinda curious, why cards for men are sooo... monochromatic... mostly blue, brown or... hmmm hard to explain really...

Do men really like to receive so 'boring' cards? I mean.. so hardly 'happy' cards???

Don't know... but my man and my son, and definitely my Dad love cheerful, colourful cards :)

Card I made this year for Father's Day for my Dad is kinda 'girly' with cute image from TiddlyInks :) I bet he will smile when open his post next week (Father's Day in Poland is 23rd June).

As per my latest addiction, background is made with washi tapes LOL!

Image colored with Prismacolor pencils as usual.

What do you think about my card?

Till next post Friends!

Special order

Hiya Crafties!

Today 3 cards - special order from our lovely neighbour Margaret. She asked me for personalized Xmas cards for her best friends. Not easy order - all Ladies are around 70 years old and I don't know them...

Margaret said 'nothing silly, fancy, maybe flowers..', hmmm, hard stuff I thought.. animals, maybe winter scene... Mum suggested to make few cards and ask Margaret to choose her faves and that's what I did :)

First card chosen by Margaret is for her friend Margaret (yes, this lady has the same name as my neighbour) - image: Christmas bears from Art by Barb.

Second card is for Shirley - image from TiddlyInks.

And last but not least, card for Kathleen - image of robin (designed by Jennifer Ellory) from free gift set at Cardmaking & Papercraft (year 2015).

What do you think about these cards?

Hope Margaret's friends will like their cards :)

Till next post Friends!

For Grace

Hiya Crafties!!!

Today something special.

Card and mixed media canvas made for my son's school friend - Grace. Dom is going for her birthday party this Sunday :)

For her card he choose image and sentiment from TiddlyInks set called Happy Day. Plus we agreed card will be shaker not simple one :)

I used 2 ptterned papers and lots of gold mirri card :) Plus gold glitter glue on image and gold tiny bits in shaker window.

Below mixed media canvas.

I played with tissue paper on this one as original idea didn't work - glittery paint we bought was a mess!!!

I covered canvas with tissue paper stick to it with nice coat of pinky acrylic paint, then after drying add shading with oil pastels in green and yellow plus some silver glitter glue and to finish it stick prepared butterflies (stamped, coloured and cut out).

I hope she will like her gift :)

That's all for today.

Till next post peeps!

Little something for special Lady 😊

Hiya crafty friends!!!

Last year I met some very nice girl on Twitter. Sammie is blogger, baking/cooking blogger - brilliant one :) - check: Sammie's blog.

She asked me for Valentine's card for her Hubby... that was challenge as I haven't alphabet stamps and amount of heart stamps in my stash is... near to none, challenge really!

Had some chat with her and she choose one of cards I already made (CAS with mice :)).

She's a darling and I couldn't sent her only card she chosen :)

So... I add this ATC made specially for her :) Hope she will like it :)

Image and sentiment: Happy Bugg from Tiddly Inks coloured with Prismacolors. Piece of creamy/pinky stripy paper, scrap of white ribbon and 4 goldish pearls and my ATC done.

What do you think about my little project?

Till next post!!!

Girl with flowers

Hello crafty friends!

Yesterday we were on little walk to spent some time together with my both boys 😊.

But...

Day without crafting is kinda lost, so...

I coloured cute free image called Thankful Heart from TiddlyInks and used it for new birthday card 😊.

I distressed edges of papers and image, added ribbons, gems and piece of embossed card.

I choose rather simple layout and I love result 😊.

What do you think about my new creation?

Colouring class

I know one thing, I still need lots of practice and lots of tips to be better with my colouring and blending when making stamped cards.

So.... colouring class was and is perfect idea to learn more. 

Where to find them? Internet is great to search for all kind of things and also for colouring classes. I found mine through Facebook :) If you are interested to join just check Fb group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kitandclowder/ or go to web: http://www.kitandclowder.com/. 

I was practicing hair colouring lately, also trying to improve face colouring. Sometimes is just a matter of using different technique, sometimes you need to learn some basics about light sources, shadings etc.
My latest colouring:

One of beautiful digis from Ching-Chou etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/gjzcck. I love her art.

Something from Dom's colouring book :)

Cute Tiddly Inks stamps :)

I think I'm better with hair colouring now, bit more practice with the rest needed, but as some smart people saying: Practice makes perfect! :)

Till next post friends!
