Something of interest





Fungus (yet to be identified)
Strangely appeared almost overnight from the stump of an old tree.  At this point about 5'' I became a bit fascinated and took to keeping my camera to study it's growth.  But it was not to be, in a rather public place, it soon disappeared

What a charming design from Mo Manning, this is the first I've done on this digi, so I've kept to the original colours before I experiment with other colour themes.  Can you resist it ?
As much as I love Tilda stamps, you know they are a lot of work... since you have to make the detail.  Where as, the detail and intepretation is already there with Mo's stamps.
But as you can see from the blog I like a lot of different styles.

Just a little note about this card - Maggie's hair and Mo Manning has several in the frizzy style, at first I couldn't get it right (not sure I have now) but getting there. Depending on what colour you want, you do need about six colours and work in dots,  don't be too tempted to blend.  *Exactly in the UK where you can get a FULL range of Mo's stamps I've no idea.  Hence the ease at getting them direct from the USA website.  There is also an active FACEBOOK forum.

A tip about this card, I used the method of tucking the 'windmill' over the top of the cutting edge of the diecut.  Now I've discovered that you need to colour first  since the cardstock is 'distressed' by the cutting making  the Promarkers bleed extensively

Just a doodle



Digi stamp - Floppy Latte Designs Butterfly & Hisbiscus

Had one of my mad moments yesterday I made a card for the Allsort challenge, which ended up too bright, but I'd printed off more than I needed and found myself doodling away whilst watching a repeat of Lewis (love Lewis)  Never done anything like this before, don't know where it came from!!  The bonkers side of the brain

How's it done

This is a screen shot of Paint Shop pro.  Here you can see the two graphics,  the Finna Fairy hasn't been rendered to a true transparency (thats the grey squares) but most of the background (white) removed.  The second graphic the stream & butterflies had already been rendered to transparency.  Then a very light chalk colour applied using, PSP in the background of both images.  Here I'm working with five layers, sounds difficult, but isn't.  Then Promarkers for the main colouring of the card then added.
