wk 9 - Digi Queens Colouring Inspiration

Welcome back to another day of lovely Colouring Inspiration from our Digi Queens team!

Tait - Hi guys, im back again for another fun inspiration card for you. I have used the very beautiful Seashore Shannon this week, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with her - I really wanted to show just how beautiful the image is, so I have coloured her all in grey tones with copic markers. With the card I wanted it to be simple and showcase the image more than the embellishments so I have just used some distressed papers, a couple of bits of lace and some shells to finish it off. I hope you enjoy :D

You can get the digi here:

I have coloured this image with copic markers using only the Cool Grey tones.

Cara.....I have used the stunning Octavia Best friends Digi image today and coloured her up in Sepia tones using my Graph'it markers and added highlights with my gold glitter shake marker.  I was going for an autumnal theme and chose feathers and leaves as my embellishments and added vintage gold and white frantage powder to finish the card.

Janine - hi everyone! I just love the Winston CD and I couldn't resist this fabby digi stamp of Winston chillin' out in his boat; I think he's so cool!  To colour this gorgeous image I thought I would take inspiration from Nikky and use my Pan Pastels - it was a bit of a learning curve but I'm happy with the results. However I did use a few pencils in certain areas to add a little extra depth. I decided to make it a CAS card so the background layers are quite simple. To finish off I added a few hand drawn fish and some buttons.

I used the following Pan Pastels: Turquoise, Bright Yellow Green, Phthalo Green, Burnt Sienna Shade, Permanent Red, Permanent Red Tint, Violet Tint, Titanium White, Diarylide Yellow, Black.

Christine - Hi peeps, another Christmas card from me! I've used the gorgeous 'Presents' for my card this week from the Work and Play 5 Festive Hollybobs Collection CD.  I also used some digi paper from that CD too.  I do love colouring in red - though it's such a tricky colour - it can so easily bleed.  I'm also experimenting with my background shading - going for slightly deeper to make the image stand out more.  Like her dotty dress and headband?  Easy to achieve with a white gel or poster paint pen.  I did the sentiment on the PC and used Dies for the image, sentiment, & the holly.

You can get the Festive Hollybobs Collection CD at Polka Doodles here:

It's such a wonderful Christmas collection brim full of fabulous-ness!

Here are the Copic colours I used:
Skin E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Hair: E21, E34, E23
Dress and Headband: R24, R29, R46., E57
Holly: G21, G99
Shading: W0, W1, W2, W3, W5, plus plenty of blender pen
I used a Sharpie Poster Paint Pen for the white dots.

 

Fi - Hi folks and here's my latest card.  I have used this little cutie called Luna which you can find here in the Polka Doodles store.  I coloured her in with alcohol markers.  I made the background with my floral fusions die-namics die which I layered onto card which I coloured with distress inks.  The bottom part of the backing has been embossed with the same die.  I added a piee of ribbon around the join just to finish it off a bit.  The bow has been fastened to the card and a rolled rose has been attached.  I added some teeny pearls to the centres of the dies cut backing....hope you like!....

You can buy Luna here

Digi Queens team!

Before we get to the inspiration, don't forget to pootle on over to the Digi Choosday blog today for another brand new challenge and chance to win some lovely digis! 

So let's see what the team are up to:

Cara - This week I chose to use the Witchie 2013 Digi image to make a Halloween tag. I coloured her with my Graph'it markers and added the silver glitter shake marker to all the highlights on her cloak and hat. I love Halloween and I've used this image soooo many times, she is one of my favourites.  I also used the Witchie 2013 Download bundle for the backing paper.

You can find the digi here:

Janine - Hi everyone, for this week's theme of Halloween I chose the gorgeous Witchie Skelton digi stamp together with elements from the Witchie Witchie bundle. I had great fun playing with Nikky's fab drawings which are so perfect for creating scenic cards.  Copic marker pens were used to colour the images, and the abstract background was made using Pan Pastels.

You can get the images here

Tait - Hi everyone, well I have been sick this week and didnt get a chance to make an actual card but I have coloured this really cute Little Witch from the Witchie Witchie collection. I have coloured her with copics and then to make it stand out a bit more I went around with edges with a light grey and yellow marker. I really love the way she has turned out and I hope you do too :D

Here is where you can find the image

Christine - This week I used Amelia Witch Toad digi stamp for my Halloween themed card.  Although I generally live in a world of pink and pastels - I decided to go overboard with the deep colours.  I used a mix of Copics and Promarkers - then I dotted the background with a mixture of colours and blender pen to give a sort of magical effect!  This witch has a penchant for glitter too... through her hair, on her robe, and even on her socks!  The toad escaped though - you can see him looking a bit disgusted at all the shiney stuff landing around him!  The stars die is from MFT Dienamics - cut from glitter card, and the stars embossing folder is from Crafts Too.

You can purchase the digi image here:

Nikky...I couldn't resist colouring this lovely new Octavia image - make sure you grab her from the store - all the links are above with the special offer code! This image is Octavia Bird in the Hand...

I wanted to give her a bit of a distressed grungey look and get a transparent wispy effect with the dress, but using my Graph'It alcohol markers rather than Distress Inks...I messed the face up a litle (that point where it's one stroke too far) so I had to darken it right up further than I normally would....I used 4125, 4150, 3210 for the face with 4145 for cheeks, then just 6110 and 5115 for the dress with blender. Hair uses 3210, 3230, 3245, 3250 and a little 9403 for extra shadows. The background is 7105 and 7109. I finally added white dots with my Graph'It Shake white pen.

Fi....Morning folks, here's my card for today's inspiration...I have used one of the fabby images from the Girl Talk collection...this is Dollie Sleepyhead...isn't she cool??

I coloured Dollie with copics this time and used for the skin - R00, R20 and R14, for the t-shirt I used - RV10, R81 and RV55, for the trousers I used W0 and E40, for the hair I used - E53 and Y28. The papers are also from the same collection.  You can get the full range on CD from the store here!
