Egg Painting - Easter

Hello crafters, welcome to my corner of blogland.  It's another challenge again over at CRAFT Challenge, Easter / Spring theme and this week the sponsor is 

All Dressed Up

The prize is 2 images.

So over to this week's project.  I decided to make a cute rocker card using the Egg Painting digi stamp as a central topper.   I  just love how sweet this digi stamp is, isn't she adorable. I also love bunnies.   I coloured this with a combination of Derwent pencils and Polychromos in a pastel, soft spring colours.  The topper was finished using sparkle pens and some stickles around the edge. When I colour my digi stamps, I print them out onto smooth cardstock and then build up layers very lightly using very soft circle movements to get a nice blend.  Sometimes I blend over the top with a white pencil or a specifically designed colourless blender tool.  You can mix colours on the paper directly to get subtle hues and tones.  I tend to do 3 tones per colour to get some depth into the image to avoid it becoming flat.  To achieve real realism it can take many hours of work however on my cards, I don't spend that long to get a nice result, as long as there is a bit of variation in tones it can have a nice effect. 

I finished the card with some paper flowers, added some shimmer, stamped the sentiment and fussy cut the stamped tag out.

Christmas Walkies - All Dressed Up

Our fabulous sponsors for this week are

 

 All Dressed Up

Come along and play with us there are some great prizes to be won. 

For my card, I used the lovely Christmas Walkies digital stamp.  I printed this out onto some plain Navigator Printer paper, this was then coloured using my polychromos pencils.  I wanted to go for a lovely pink/green combo.  I love searching for colour combos on Pinterest they always have a multitude of lovely colour combinations to use.  

I used some backing papers from my stash, stitched round the edge and then on the central image I faux stitched with a matching pencil.  Added some shimmer and stickles with a sentiment.  

I will be back soon with another fabulous project for the lovely C.R.A.F.T Challenge. 

Thanks for stopping bye. 

Till then, happy crafting x
