My "Easter Chickie" in Polychromo Pencil with Colour Details

Can I Just say WOW!! The response from everyone over my "Easter Chickie" has been phenomenal! I never expected such a response from one first real pencil image. so THANK YOU too everyone who has commented and given such lovely comments and encouragements. 

Now I have had quite a few people asking me to list details of what colours I used and what paper so I thought I'd do a Blog Post just on this. Please note that no blending fluids of any kind were used in this colouring, and I did not use a blending stump. This is just layering of pencils. :)

Hello there me Hearties!! LOL  Another Mo make from me this week using one of the beautiful children out of the "Sailor Boys" set in Mo Digital Pencil. I love this set because of it's vintage feel, and it brings to mind images of little kids playing in there sailor suits down at the beach with there tin soldiers while there mums in there 1950s bathing suits watch on preparing a picnic for everyone to eat... it's just Gorgeous!! and of course, I owned a little Sailor suit just like this for my son when he was born. I have only one picture of him wearing it, as he sits on Santa's lap.. Screaming his lungs out at the scary man in the grey beard!.. oh the memories. LOL...

Xo HUGS!!

Dream Big!!

From the moment Mo showed us this new stamp "Reach Star (s)"  also available in a female version, I fell in LOVE!! I didn't know if it was the PJ's, the great big rounded tummies, the tiny little feet in comparison to the bodies, the hands, the way they are flapping as ONLY little toddlers do as they reach for something or the onezy with the cape! but I just had to have this stamp.

 I LOVED the sketchy design, a little different then the stamps I normally colour but I was willing to give it a go because I had the PERFECT digital papers to go with him. Recently having been introduce to NitWit Collection I came across an adorable Digital Scrap booking set called "FQB- Spaced Out Collection" and if there wasn't a more perfect match made in heaven!! Well I'll let you made that decision for yourselves ;) 

 

I really like this HUGE MOON on the inside of the card which allows the person buying the card to write there birthday wishes or such on it.. Very cute. 

 

Wanted to make him look like he was reaching for this moon... and think it was a great way to use the sentiment which is included with the digital stamp. 

 

All elements have been outlined in black. This is a really simple yet effective way to make your cards look professional, but also to make your elements blend into the card... nothing worse then seeing white glaring cut lines... a little trick I learnt from Paper tole.
