Card for Dragon Lairs design monthly digi

Hi Everybody,
Hope you are well.
I am fine, but in the ark as our electricity department is load shedding, so they turn the electricity of for two and a half hours.
I have just finished a card, with a digi stamp supplied by Dragons lair designs. It is such a cute little bear with such a sad face.
I coloured him in with a mixture of pro markers, flex markers and graph-it pens. I then used white card stock, and layered it with plain blue board, a red sort of damask, that I had left over from something else, don't k ow what paper pack it came from, then I used a layer of plain red board, and layered that with a sort of damask light blue paper, once again I cant give you the paper pack as it was a piece left over. I then added a red stripe, and then my image. Once I had added my image I cut a slit in the side of the card and put the blue ribbon on. I then cut three hearts from the red board and pt them on top of the ribbon. I then went into Coral Draw and did the banner. I made a rectangle of the size I wanted, then filled it with blue, I then did the writing with a white outline and a white fill.
I will attach the card now.
I hope that you all like it and that you will feel free to give any comments.
Thank you very much for visiting my blog and for all your friendship and love.
I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend.
Love and best wishes.

New Card made with a Dragons Lair Designs Digi stamp

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are all well and having a really great weekend.
Hubby told me to go and play, so I did and I have finished a card with a digi stamp supplied by Dragons Lair Designs. I think their site is www,dragonslairdesigns.com/shop/. It is well worth visiting as they have some really fantastic things there. This is a digi that they supply on facebook that you have to colour and make into something, then you can get another one the next month, so I do not know if it is in the shop.Any way here is the card that I made.
I coloured the image with a mixture of grph'it pens, promarkers and flexmarkers, I do not remember the colours that I used.
I used pink card stock to which I added the corner papers. I then added the three gems in each corner, then added the coloured image.
I would like to thank you all for all the visits to my blog that you all do, I really appreciate it.
All criticisms and comments are welcome.
Thank you.
I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

two more colourings

Hi Everyone,
I am putting two on this post, as they are both the same stamp by visible image.
The first one I  have coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.
The greens were holly,pine and lush green.
The reds were crimson, berry red and lipstick red. the blues were french navy, Aegean and sky blue.The browns were walnut, burnt sienna and cinnamon. I put a brown shadow around her.
The second one is the same stamp by visible image, but painted with water colour pencils. I have decided that I prefer to put the colour from the pencil onto my paint brush and then onto the paper, I just prefer the look.
This is done with my box of derwent water colour pencils, a box of twenty four colours. I did the face in what they call orange, so all the flesh wash done in orange. The hat was done in three colours of blue putting the lightest all over and then adding the darker ones. The same was done with the reds and the purples I used three colours on the boots greys and black and then put a grey shadow around her.
Comments and criticisms are always welcome.
Love and best wishes.

another colouring

Hi everyone,
Here is a free digi, I think it is a cuddle bug cutie, but not a hundred percent sure. Anyway thank you very much to the artist. I have coloured her in promarkers and flex markers.
I do not remember what colours I used on her, as she was done at the beginning of last week.
Comments and criticisms are always welcome.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

more colouring

Hi Everyone,
Here is another one done during this last week.
It is a fairy and she is really cute. I coloured her at craft club and am pretty pleased with the way she came out. Maybe my colouring is getting slightly better.
This little cutey is coloured with promarkers. She is a free digi, but down loaded her a while ago and can't remember who the artist is, but thank you any way. Her wings were done with gold along the lines and then just blended out with the blender pen, so they look kinda translucent.Her face was done with coral, baby pink, for cheeks and lips and I have forgotten what the other colours were.
Her dress was done in french navy, china blue and corn flower.Her shoes were done in flex markers,burnt sienna, saddle Brown and Cinnamon.
All comments and criticism is most welcome.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

another new colouring

Hi Everyone,
In case you are wondering how I manage to get all this done just recently. We are having our kitchen redone, so can't leave the house for long periods. So hubby and I are sitting at our computers or crafting, and the result is all the stuff I am now putting on. Got another three weeks to go, so may see a lot more.
Anyway the next one I am putting up I also have no idea where I got it from, but also a free digi or colouring picture. Thank you very much to the artist who drew it.It is a dragon and it is coloured with Promarkers.
This is a really cute dragon, and I coloured it in Promarkers. The reds were crimson,berry red and lipstick red.The greens were holly,pine and forest green.The yellows were gold,sunflower and pineapple crush.
All comments and criticisms are most welcome.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

New colouring

Hi Everyone,
Here is my second colouring, it is an angel,  once again not sure where I got it from, but she was free, and who ever the artist is, thank you very much.
I am not at all happy with this
one. I coloured her with something called  Lyra Aqua Brush Duo's, and could not get them to do anything that I wanted, so I will have to work out how they work.
Anyway, they had no sort of skin colours, so I left her face un painted. I did her hair in browns , dark yellow, can't really call it cold for her halo, blues for her wings, brown on her harp and yellows on her dress. Not happy.
All comments and criticisms welcome.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Colourings i have done over the last week.

Hi Everyone,
I have had rather a wonderful time just lately and am going to put all the colourings that I have done recently in this post. Some of them I don't know the artists but I say thank you to all those who do digi stamps for us, people that cannot draw.
I will put them on one at a time and try and remember the colours etc that I used.
The first one I am putting on is a bear that I made my first attempt at using water colour pencils, I don't think it is very good, but if I put it on then I will learn from the comments.
 As I said this was I think a free colouring picture of the net, don't remember the site, but he was very cute. I did the ground in various green water colour pencils, I have the Derwent 24 colour set. I did the sky in pinks and reds and purples. The grass and the sky I did by scribbling on the paper with the colours and then putting a wet paint brush to them. The flowers I did by putting my wet paint brush onto the pencil and then putting the colour onto the paper, and I think I prefer this method. The flower was done in yellow and red. The bear was painted in the same way as the flower in browns.
I have changed my mind, and am going to do a separate post for every one or they will be to long.
I look forwards to all the comments and criticisms.
Thank you.
Love and best wishes.

New Colouring and card

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are all having a fantastic Sunday. I am feeling very low although I have just finished a card, and was enjoying myself, but then I plugged my heat tool to dry something into the wrong place and blew my UPS and am now in big trouble with hubby.
Anyway enough of that. I made a card using a digi stamp from Dragon Lairs design, and made an Easter card
I made this card with white card stock.
I then added the pap, that I had left over, don't know who did it, have had it to long. I then went into Corel Draw and did two rectangles and put a gradient colour from yellow to Green, and then used a bunny script with the filling being red.
The digi you can I think get at dragons lair designs.com I am not sure that that is the address as it does not come up in blue, but I am sure you can find it from there. They really do have some fantastic stuff.
Anyway the digi is from them and I coloured it with promarkers and flexmarkers. The broken chocolate bits I coloured with flexmarkers, Burnt Sienna,Saddle Brown and Cinnamon.
The red eggs I coloured with promarkers, crimson,berry red and lipstick red. The Yellow were promarkers Gold, Sunflower and Pineapple crush. The greens were promarkers, Holly,Pine and Lush green. I then put glitter glue on the three big eggs.
I then put the card together by gluing the paper to the white card stock. I then did the happy Easter and cut them out and stuck them at an angle to the card, and then I cut and glued the digi on at an angle.
I hope you all have a fantastic week ahead.
Love and best wishes.

New colouring

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well with everyone. Hubby is making sure I take some time for myself each day, so I have done a new colouring. It is a digi from Cuddlebug Cuties, and I love it.
I love all her work, and suggest that you visit her and get some wonderful digi's and at the same time you can give her some love.
Anyway U have coloured it, and would love some comments, as I am really not satisfied with what I achieved.
I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend and that you are all spoiled rotten tomorrow on Valentines. I have valentine every day with Les, but I know that he has something special planned for tomorrow, so am looking forwards to it.
Hugs all round.
Love and best wishes.

feeling sad

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you all had a wonderful day.
Hubby is being so good to me as I am feeling very sad today remembering my fathers death. I know that it was better for him to have died and not to have carried on suffering, but I still get days when I feel sad and tearful.
Well enough of that.
I came on to give you all a great big hug whoever you are, and wish you a really fantastic day and evening and that it is filled with love and kindness and happiness.
Have a wonderful time, doing some of the things that you like doing most, mine is now going to be to go and work in the garden with hubby, and have a great bit of together time.
Love and best wishes and a great big bear hug.

New card

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well with you all and that you all had a fantastic weekend.
I had a really great weekend and this afternoon got some colouring done and now I have done a card, don't know if I will enter it into any challenges, we will see.
Well here it is, nice and romantic for February.
Well I hope that you all have a really wonderful week this week,
All comments and criticisms are very welcome, it is how I learn.
Thank you.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Two new colourings

Hi Everyone,
Hope that you have had an absolutely fantastic weekend.
Well miracles do happen, and I went on strike today or should I say this afternoon, and went all crafty and did two colouring's that I will use for cards, but probably not today, as it is late afternoon already.
I colored a valentine couple and a cute little girl in a suit. I must say that it is so long since I did any crafting, of any sort, that I forgot what pleasure it gives me. I am now quite relaxed and ready to go and race and get up to mischief in the pool.
Here are the things I did, hope that I can get them on.
Well wonders never cease it actually worked.
All comments and criticism will  be gladly welcomed.
I hope that you all have a really great week.
Love and best wishes.

Feeling awful about neglecting you all

Hi everyone,
Hope that you are all fine and having a really great weekend.
I am feeling awful about neglecting you all, but my blog is not working properly and I am about to despair and just dump the whole blogging thing. I am trying to get things from your blogs that I think will interest people, but I go onto your blogs and I can get things onto google, pinterest and twitter, but not onto my blog or onto facebook. I have changed my pinterest address, and it will not let me edit that either, I am at my wits end and really don't know what to do. Is there anyone that can help me out with some advice.
For those of you that want to follow me on pinterest, I think that my new address is wabyerley50.pinterest.com, but not sure of that, not very good with computers.
I wish you all a very happy 2015, and hope that all your dreams and wishes come true, and maybe I will get out of my slump, and at least say hello every now and then.
I hope that you all have a fantastic Sunday and a wonderful week ahead. Hopefully will have some new cards and colourings shortly.
Love and best wishes.
Anne
