A Little Surprise

 

We have a little surprise for you today at SheepSki Designs in the Facebook Group.  Sandra & I have teamed up to bring you a free image for Thanksgiving

Sandra drew the original sketch using some flowers from her garden.  I added some leaves and stems for her and converted it into a digi :)

The image you can see here has been coloured with Copics.  I've then fussy cut it to go on the card.

The background was created with a stencil and some Vintage Photo ink from Tim Holtz.  I've frame it with some black card, added some ribbon from my stash that I've had for ages (from Santoro I think it was), finally a few clear sparkly gems and a wood chip sentiment coloured with black Copic.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it, we hope you enjoy the digi.

Not your normal gnomes

So for some reason I seem to be having a pick or purple mushroom thing.  I think it's because every time I want to colour them red but think do something different.  So today we have a pale purple one :)

This image is called Giant Mushroom, it's either that or these are not normal gnomes and they're miniature ones haha....  You can find the image here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

However, if you're lucky enough to be reading this shortly after my post and check out this Kit & Clowder post link you might just find yourselves a bigger discount code!

I've coloured the image with Copics, keeping the card CAS style today to showcase the image, I've added a "me n you" sentiment with Tim Holtz stickers and a bit of sparkle with a few sequins and sparkly enamel dots.

My design paper is from First Edition and I've used a bit of skinny purple ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for popping by for a look today :)

Freebie in monochromatic & tutorial news

Happy Weekend - don't forget this is the weekend when you can grab this exclusive freebie.

The image is called Wild Roses and I'm offering it as an exclusive freebie at Through The Craft Room Door Facebook Group the weekend of 4 - 5 February only, click here to join the group.

I created this look by using just one black polychromos pencil.  I was hoping to achieve a black and white photo effect.  I would have done more on the background last night but ended up with claw hand after doing this and a card for my dad  :D

I've run out of time to do any more on it for showing it off for today so just thought I'd post it as it is.

A copy of the watermarked image is below.

Also remember this?

I've made up a photo tutorial to go into the next Through The Craft Room Door magazine so you can find out exactly what I used to create it and how I got the background effect :D

From this......

...... to this

Don't forget to grab your freebie
