A Hug with a Fold

Hi everyone! 

Today I am sharing my colouring of  Flowery Gnome by Stamping Bella

For the skin tones I used E04 for the darkest areas. I blended the E04 out with E11 and then E00. Finally added some BV01 for shading in the corners under his hat. 

I used one of my favourite colour combos for his outfit. 

BG11, BG53, BG45, BG57. 

On the leaves and flower stems I started with the darkest colour ,YG17. 

Then I added in YG25, YG23 and YG21

In the centre of the flowers I coloured with Y17, Y15 and Y13

Finally, for the flowers I used RV69, RV66, RV63 and C1, C3 and C5. I used the colourless blender to smooth our the Cs. 

Once I had all the flowers coloured I added some speckles and highlights with a white gel pen. 

That's it from me for today. I will be back next month with another colouring. 

Until then, happy crafting

Arizona Desert Scene

Hello everyone!

My name is Annemarie and I am honored to be part of this amazing team now. You can also follow me on instagram: @am_customdesign_fineart

I hope to inspire everyone with my projects.

I decided to make my own scene for this card. These mountains were created with E11, E13 and E15. I used the lightest color first to create the shapes and then I added the shades and worked from dark to light.

Of course I needed some cacti. I used YG67, G29 and YG63 for these.

Some rocks were next with E57, E55, E53.

The sandy ground was created with E27, E25 and E23.

I had to add some water because one of the stamps I wanted to use is a little boat.

E25, E23, E21 and E51 made the river bank and BG32, BG11 and G40 the water.

Y17, Y18, Y15, Y13 and Y04 created the sun and YR04, YR15, Y38, Y35 and Y21 were used for the sunset sky.

One last cactus in front of the sun with G94.

My background is complete now.

I used a Sugar Pea Designs stamps. The base of the teepee is kept neutral with E53, E51 and E50.

The bright colors are: V17, V15, V12, next color R39, R24, R22, then G07, YG17, YG25, then Y17, Y18, Y06 and last BG57, BG13 and BG11.

The cute little raccoons are colored with W9, W7, W5, W4, W2, W1 and the rosy cheeks and ears are R22 and R21.

The colors of the headdress are Y17, Y15 and Y06, V17, V15 and V12 and the feather BG57, BG13 and BG32.

The canoe is met neutral with E55, E53, E51 and E50.

For some details I used a white gel pen.

I hope you like my first project, let me know if you have any questions.

Until next time, have a great day!

Definition of Friendship

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my colouring of a cute Tiddly Inks digi stamp, called Emmy and Wryn BFF. These girls are great for practicing skin and hair. 

As always, I start with the skin. E04 for the darker shadows and then blend it out a little with E11. 

I normally use E00 here but today I am using E01, followed by E000

For Wryn's hair I used E70's, right from E70 to E79. I  just keep adding a little of the darker colours  at a time until I am happy with how it looks. 

For Emmy's hair I used E71 for shadow and then E53 followed by E50 for the lightest areas. I went back in with the E71 and E53 a second time. 

On their dresses I used 

B13, BV11, and BV01

R39, R37 and R35

For the shoes, belt and cardigan:

YR17, YG23, and YG21

YR07, Y17, and Y08

To add a little shadow underneath the images:

W7, W5, W3, and W00

And here is the finished image. 

Thanks for dropping by today. Until next time, happy colouring
