Dragonfly Moon

I am so excited to share my DT card this week for DIGI CHOOSDAY, as I am rather pleased with the background.

The image is from the Octavia Moonfly Collection and as the Design Teams brief was to use an animal, I took a little artistic licence and used Octavia Moonfly Dragonfly.


The image and background are both coloured with Copics.  The background was a technique I learnt with one of the monthly Kit & Clowder markers classes and I just love how it turned out.



I break up the sky I cut two cityscapes from black card and layered them at the bottom, I had seen a layout out very similar to this on a challenge blog - you can see my inspiration here.

Succulent Sprite

We have some gorgeous new sprites to show you over at the Aurora Wings Showcase Blog.

Unfortunately I have only had time to colour one of these cuties.

So here is my 'Succulent Sprite'.



She is coloured with Copics, I think I used about 12 different greens.  I used a design from the silhouette store to create the cutout and layered  onto some designer papers.

Please head over to the Aurora Wings Showcase Blog, where you will find inspiration from the rest of the team for Forget me not Sprite and details of a surprise spite with purchases.

Husky Hugs

For this weeks DIGI CHOOSDAY  inspiration have used an image from one of my favourite collections Octavia Frosted Winter, it has some beautiful images as well as tons of gorgeous backgrounds, sentiments and embellishments.

This image is called 'Husky Hugs'.


I Spritzed the background with a mix of turquoise and Red distress inks and also splattered with gold water colour paints.

The image is coloured with Copics, with a hefty amount of clear SN Sparkle pen on the snow.


Lastly I cut some pine cones and branches from white card to embellish.

I have used the sweet 'Winnie Hurray' from Winnie Celebrations 1.
