teapot Tuesday

free digi bird

I have been missing the teaparties lately and today's teapot just wanted to be drawn.

 So here is my rendition.

Juliet oh Juliet!

Tomorrow is my day at Paper Temptress and I am giving you a sneak peek at the bookmark and card I made for the occasion. The bookmark is courtesy of a tutorial provided by my good friend Juliet, so of course I named her Juliet!

Here is a link to her tutorial ...

Pop on over to Paper Temptress tomorrow to see my whole post.   Link to Paper Temptress

Cheri from China

Free digi image

I had double incentive to draw this lady --- Cheri over at Copic Musketeers was looking for an oriental digi, and Suzanne Dean over at Color me Creative Classroom has us all reading the book Snow Flower and the Secret Fan then creating projects as a result.

Now I need to color her with my copics and create a bookmark, card or project. But I thought I would post her today so you can enjoy her too.

Please take the digi if you want it --- and create something pretty!

Teapot Tuesday ... on watercolor paper

free digi

This teapot scene just asked to be done on watercolor paper. So I pulled out my watercolor pencils and did the little scene.  I think it turned out cute!

But it was too wonderful a shape to ignore, so I had to make the 2nd card!

You can grab my teapot outline if you want it.

Flower for Friends

Free digi, yours to take

I met some copic colorers in a chat room online and we decided to all color the same image and see how we do.

 I drew this flower with a friendly rat sticking out the bottom, since we chatted about critters too.

1. darkest green

2.  darkest pink

3.  blend in light pink

4.  blend in light green

I am doing a step by step coloring for one lady who says she is at kindergarten, no. nursery school level. This is what she said but I have not seen her coloring yet so perhaps she should be doing the tutorial instead.  At any rate, here is my flower and my step by step coloring.

5. Finish with light yellow and brown

Tuesday Teapot

Here's the pot and here's the drawing ... I really had fun with this one!

Guess you have to use your imagination to see how I got the drawing from the pot ...

If I tried to sync my swimming

I’d be drowning in the drink

I can barely keep on floating

It is harder than you think

I can sync my mac computer

And my ipad in a blink

But the sync that I don’t want to do
Is dishes in the sink!

Farewell to Diane

Free digi image

We had a great Yoga instructor and this is the farewell card I made for her. At the end of every class, she would say, "Remember that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. But today is the present so take it and enjoy it as a gift."  Her take on Eleanor Roosevelt got amended into the text on my card.

You can grab the image if you need a yoga card

copic practice

free digi for you

Coloring white is a real challenge. I tried it here ... and it is ok although I do think it looks like the girls are wearing gray dresses.

I am taking a class from Suzanne Dean ... wa HOOOOO ... in July and hope to see what she does to make her whites work so well.

I colored this card for a Do-It-In-White challenge at her copic classroom ... anybody can enter!  Click ...here.

Digi is here if you wanna try coloring ...

Think Red, White and Blue!

Free digi for you

I have been featured over at Paper Temptress --- I hope you will go over and look around!  Finally I can stop making cards that are red, white and blue for awhile.

But before I leave that theme, here is a digi I created - hope you can use her.  If you do, please click on over to paper temptress and see my layout.

Coloring in Black and White

Free digi for you

Using only my c3, c5 and c7, I made a girl with black hair and a white blouse. How cool is that! Not as cool as the fact that you can have the digi I drew to practice!

Coloring hair

Been practicing hair ... and I am amazed at how differently the inks work on different papers.

Colleen's Anniversary

Does it look like  a beach ball?

I keep making square cards and then being frustrated at how to mail them. This one is going in a big envelope as it seemed to grow as I worked on it.

 Digis are yours to grab ... I am particularly proud of the umbrellas!

The Blue Bird of Happiness

Can't wait to color these birdies blue and make them into bluebirds.

As always, you are welcome to take an image.

Rabbit in Ruffles Rides Again

You may remember this digi drawing ( it's a free download here ) .  I am using it for an Easter card for a young lady with a pug dog. Tried to color my bunny to match.

More pirate images

I am still drawing images for the Splitcoast Virtual Stamp night ... on the evening of April 29, and all day May 20 and 21, there will be challenges every hour with a pirate theme. I didn't have any pirate stamps so I started drawing some images hoping they will be useful.  PLEASE feel free to "grab" the images if you want them!

I really enjoy the sketch challenge at Splitcoast. It gives me a chance to play with all the papers that I just have to buy ...

Plus dear husband's birthday is tomorrow and I waited till the last minute to make this card. Thinking I will make TWO and use one for my son's 30 cards with shoes...

I have been practicing that dotty surround for images with copics. I kind of like it!
