OBG, Heart Cats!

Hello, it's Oldie But Goodie day on the Catch The Bug Blog, and today I've used Heart Cats from Bugaboo Stamps! This is a great image to use if you've always wanted to colour a striped cat but were afraid to try! I started with E49 and coloured over the stripes that are already on the image and then continued to decrease with E47, E44 etc just adding a bit of each on the outside of the previous colour until I got to E42 and then I coloured in the center used it to help blend the previous colours.

The card base is riding hood red, the designer paper and pink are from Recollections.

I also used this weeks Sketch Saturday #409

OBG, Sock Monkey!

Hello, it's Oldie But Goodie day at Catch The Bug, and today I'm using My Little Sock Monkey-flowers from Bugaboo Stamps!

I coloured the image with copics, and then used one of my favorite techniques to add texture to him. All I did was lightly spray my Linen background stamp with alcohol and then stamped onto the coloured image. Then I coloured the flowers and added some red stickles.

The card base is crumb cake with a layer of Recollection designer paper. The sentiment is from SU Teen Tiny Wishes.
