UNDER THE SEA

 Hello Peeps,

Here is something I made using one of my images - MERMAID 1 - but I only used the top half of her.

I made the background using blue and yellow paint on card, and I smurged it all around with my fingers. I then added "waves" using glitter glue.

The mini shells I got from the beach and I added the scary skull because she is a bit scary too :-D

Thanks for popping in.

LOOK OUT IT's THE EASTER CATBUNNY :-D

Hello Peeps.... I'm back again today !! :-D

I have made this card to enter the new CLEVER DEXTER CHALLENGE #4 - Bunny Hop.  Well - they didn't say it had to be a real Bunny :-)

I used one of my images from IKEsART called - " EASTER CATBUNNY ".  A cute kitty sitting in an Easter basket. He has cunningly taped his ears down and added some bunny ears to disguise himself hahahaha :-D
He was coloured with Spectrum Noir markers and his backing papers and eggs are from the " Egg-Stravaganza Set " by  Miggins Does Scrapsville.

I have also gone with the colours of the sketch palette.

Thanks for stopping by.

30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE - DAY 28 + 29

Hello Peeps,
This year I decided to join the 30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 2020, which is organised and run by MAGENTA SKY PRINTMAKING.  

These last few days I have taken on a couple of emergency foster furbabies so things have been a bit hectic.
I am now trying to play catch-up and these are my DAY 28 + 29 pieces. 
The themes were " FAVOURITE PLACE and  MOVIES ". 

One of my favourite places is here in my garden in Greece looking up at the stars at night. There are no lights up here so no ' light pollution ' so the stars are really bright.
I added cats because if I'm out here then some of my cats usually are too :-D.

This was made by finger painting and cut out silhouette grass and cats added afterwards.

DAY 28

DAY 29

My take on a classic film - pen and ink.

Oh, and here are the Foster Furbabies..... Mother and son :-D

Good Afternoon Peeps,
This year I decided to join the 30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 2020, which is organised and run by MAGENTA SKY PRINTMAKING and this is my DAY 4 piece. The theme today is " TOYS & GAMES".

I have always been scared of using watercolours so I have joined my friend's Classes which start next week to learn shtuff :-D 

For my piece today I got the dreaded watercolours out and had a go - that's the whole point - right ?!  :-D   I must admit I prefer my fine liner sketch but it's only because the watercolouring is so totally alien to me right now :-)
When I paint my Pet Portraits, I use Guache and teeny tiny brushes and virtually paint every hair individually, so I want to try and get a bit ' free ' with the watercolours :-)

POE APPRECIATION DAY BLOG HOP 2019 - DAY 4

Hello POE Peeps,

Here I am with DAY 4 of the 4th Annual POE APPRECIATION DAY BLOG HOP  as hosted by the amazing LEIGH SB DESIGNS.

Here is my piece for Day 4. I have used an old one today as I am on Day 3 of a mega headache and have had to start wearing my neck brace, so it's too hard to craft. :-(

I made one of those Billboard type things with two pictures on that you only see one picture from each direction. :-) Full on it looks like this.

Then - from the left it's shows my POE Raven digi...FREEBIE at IKEsART.

When you look the other way it shows my POE Cat in glorious technicolour :-D

I was making up a little frame to mount it in but I messed up the first one and now I don't have enough wood !!! :-(  Anyways - you get the idea ? :-D

Leigh has drawn a fabulous new Poe themed design called, " The Winter Raven " is now available in her Etsy Boutique. Click on the Badge above to go there.

Also check out her 2018 Poe collection which is now on sale!

There is also a FREEBIE for you called Poe Love, you can grab it HERE!

Thanks for POE-pping in and thank you for any comments. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN - DAY 31

Hello  Scary Peeps,
I am here today with my creation for DAY 31 of the 31 DAYS of HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP . We are finally at the very special day and I have managed to Blog and Comment all the way through :-D  Yay me !!

Today I have a couple of pieces to show you.... one spooky cute and 2 spooky creepy ones , so if you don't want to see the creepy ones then don't scroll all the way down  Bwahahahaha

My first are a pair of teeny cross stitch characters I have made and I called the The Katensteinz LoL  
They just about fit onto ATC cards :-)
Then I realized I cut the boy out completely wrong...... he should have more space above him not below  so I had to make a teeny label  - Now they don't look so good together !!! Duh  :-(

So now - if you don't want to view the scary one , 

then  Click on this Badge now  to go to the Hop

I hope you will pop over  and see all the final gorgeous creations that everyone has made :-D   I would like to thank our gracious Hostess - LEIGH SNAITH-BRUNTON for hosting this event again and for all her tremendous hard work xxxx

And now.... I give you a super scary Tilda image with added skellie tearing out of her  which was drawn by me. Just to show an example of how you can 'scarify' even a cute image. 

She's got cute little pumpkin hair ties and her Halloween treat bag ready for the candy :-)  

I added a bit of blood spatter. I think her Inner Demon has had a bit too much candy if you ask me !!!

My sentiment says ... " I stopped fighting my inner demons... We're on the same side now "  :-D 

Here's another look at the card I did with my my Freebie from IkesArt Progressive FaceBook Challenge - " DEATH 2 ".

For " DEATH 2 ", I coloured him with Spectrum Noir markers and then set him against IKEsART - " Flower Square " background, which I left deliberately uncoloured. I gave him some lovely eyes and a bit of red lippy just to take the edge off hahahaha  :-D 

Bye now - and thank you for all your lovely comments on my 31 DOH creations. xxx
