Briar Berry Spry Fairy from DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS Shop

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome back to my blog.  It’s been a rough month of March – I am so glad Sunday will bring a new month and hopefully be a happier, healthier one.  I’ve been sick most of the month and 3 of my 4 kids have been sick on and off this month as well, so you can see why it hasn’t been the greatest.  Anyway, I hope you have had a great week so far and have gotten to do some crafting.   My kids are on spring break this week so I have been spending a lot of time with them, which has been nice.  I am  thrilled to share my newest creation using one of the fabulous images from Digi Doodle Studios Shop.

Have you visited Digi Doodle Studios Shop recently?  Make sure to head on in and check out all the amazing products, new items are being added all the time -  they are all awesome!  The “Cutie Paws” Collection can be found there now and they are FAB-U-LOUS - I know you will love them too!!  You can also find digi sentiments and digi paper sets to fit all your card making and crafting needs. 

Make sure to come play along in our challenge at the Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog, our March challenge has ended, but our New Challenge will begin on April 1st.   Hope to see you playing along!

This week I am sharing my creation using Kenzie and Kona Lap Dog digi image.   I had a great time coloring this gorgeous image with my Copics.  I added in a rock wall and grass free hand with my Copics and Copic multi-liner pen.  Image then cut with Tattered Lace die.

Skin E04, E11, E21, E00, R32, R30
Dress, flowers, socks, bow

Image is highlighted with R30.  Sentiment is from an Impression Obsession rubber stamp and cut out with Tattered Lace die.  My papers are American Crafts and I added Zva Creative bling flourishes, buttons from Buttons Galore and More and crinkle ribbon from my stash.  I think this fold is a castle fold – I believe it’s from Splitcoast.

Sorrel Merry Thistle

This week I am sharing my creation using Sorrel Merry Thistle

digi image.   I had a great time coloring this gorgeous image with my Copics and and Atyou Spicas and then cutting out with a Duo die.   I used bold and bright colors again this week to color Sorrel Merry Thistle as to me the images from this collection seem to want to sparkle and shine.

 I used the following colors:

Hair E44, YR23, E43, Y00
Skin E04, E11, E21, E00, R32, R30
Dress, flower BV29, BG78, BG75, BG72, BG10
Wings RV66, RV05, RV09, RV06, RV04
Socks use same colors as dress and wings
Outer edge of wings V09, V06
Owl E29, E27, E37, E34, E08, YR07, YR04, YR23, Y17, Y15

Image is highlighted with BG10 and then I used various Copics to add dots all around the image and drew in grass at the bottom using G19, G09, G07, G05, G02.  Sentiment can be found in the Pixie Wishes Sentiments Set also found at Digi Doodle Studios Shop.  Sentiment is cut out with Duo die and then daubed over with Memento grape jelly ink.  My papers are from First Edition and I also used the paper for my butterflies, which are Memory Box dies.  I added pearls from my stash to the centers of the butterflies.

Here is a closer up view of my colored image.  I sure hope you have enjoyed learning about how I made my creation this week.

Hope you will check out Sorrel Merry Thistle and all her Light and Sprite fairy friends in the shop - we'd all love to see you color any of these images and share them in our Facebook Fan Group and on other social media!!
