Just a couple of colouring classes finished!

Thought I would just share a couple of my Kit and Clowder colouring classes that I have done recently but not yet shared.

This first one was May 2018's class using a gorgeous digi stamp from Molly Harrison. Lots of fluffy clouds for this one!

And the second one is actually this month's (Yep I managed to do it in the month it came out for once!) using an image provided by Alyce. I would never have been able to drawn a giraffe pattern freehand before trying this one!

Hope you have enjoyed seeing these colourings! 

Kit & Clowder Classes Catch Up

I am currently on my 6 week summer holiday and boy has the past 2 weeks flown by! I spent a lot of the first week shopping and colouring! This past week I haven't had as much time to sit and colour or craft and definitely haven't had the chase to blog anything until Friday!

Anyways...here's some of my colouring that I did for some of the Kit & Clowder classes that I pay for every month, but hardly ever get round to doing! Naughty naughty me! Some of these were done a while ago (probably in my last holiday back in May), but I haven't blogged them so thought I would just add them all here!

This first one is from February 2018's class... Flowers are not my thing at all, but I really like the shine on these ones!

This one is from March 2018. Really pleased with this all except the sky which I could not get to blend very well, but still looks ok, I think.

The next one is from April 2018's class. Really pleased with this one, even the mice's fur, which I always struggle with! 

And finally this one is from the members' free class For The Boys. Not overly happy with the sleeves on the shirt - I think they need to be darker, but overall really liked doing this one. 

And that's all from me for this post folks! Thanks for stopping by! 

Kit & Clowder Monthly Classes

Whilst I have been on holiday for the last few weeks from school, I have been trying to catch up with my monthly Create & Learn classes from Kit & Clowder as I am almost a whole year behind! How bad is that?! I do intend on doing them every month, but then forget and do all my DT stuff and never get round to doing these, let alone doing the skin and clothing classes, which I really need to finish off as well!

Anyway, here are September, October and November classes from 2015 as well as the current class for August 2016. Thought I would at least get this month's done and in the monthly competition for once!

September's...using an image from Mo's Digital Pencil.

October's...using an image from Faery Ink

November's... using an image from Tiddly Inks

And finally August's... using an image from La-La Land Crafts

Faery Ink One Day Fae Giveaway

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new One Day Fae Giveaway from Faery Ink. This month's digi stamp, Arielle & The Will O' The Wisps, is just gorgeous. There used to be a cartoon in the UK when I was a kid called Willo The Wisp and I loved it. It was all about a fairy and some creatures living in the woods and was narrated by Willo. Here is a link to the first episode if you want a look!

Anyway onto my card. I thought I would use Alyce Keegan's May Create & Learn class for this image as I cannot draw trees for the live of me and I really wanted her to be in the woods. Oh well she still looks fabulous in the nighttime sky! Loved this technique, although it drained a lot of my Copics colouring it all!

As the background has hints of pink and purple in it, I went with a pink and purple scheme using this new colour card from Stampin' Up. Might be one of my newest faves! Shame they only release them for 2 years at a time!

Kit & Clowder Create & Learn Projects June - August 2015!

I have signed up to lots of the classes from Kit & Clowder, including the Create & Learn monthly ones, but I don't always get time to do the classes every month. Instead I tend to have a binge-colouring session every time I am on holiday from school.

This was last half term's holiday's efforts. I managed to do 3 of  the Create and Learn classes and although some bits were easier than others and at one point I threw a huge hissy fit over the Ice Princess in the cavern image, I do love how they came out and think my colouring has really started to improve.

Anyway here is June's class using Hi Deer from Ching-Chou Kuik sitting in a field with a stormy sky behind her.

And this is July's class using an image from Yampuff. Bit of  wonky rainbow on this one, but never mind! I still like it! LOL

And finally August's class using Hannah Lynn's Ice Princess. This was the hardest class I have done so far - really tricky to work out which bits were coloured and which bits should have been left white. Not going to be doing this one again any time soon! LOL

Not sure what I am going to do with all these colourings as yet, but think I might frame them and add them to my craft room wall when I get one! Need to move house first though.

I'm entering these colourings into these challenges...

Through The Craft Room Door Anything Goes

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #30 Anything Goes

Inspiration Destination Challenge # 78 Anything Goes

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #174 Anything Goes

Recipe:

Stamps: Hi Deer from Ching-Chou Kuik, Lost and Found from Yampuff, Ice Princess from Hannah Lynn

Papers: Copic X-Press It Blending Card

Inks: Copic Markers (Not going to add all the colours here as it would take far far too long!)

And that's all from me for this post folks! Thanks for stopping by!

What I've been doing this weekend

Just thought I would show you what I have been up to this weekend...I signed up for the Kit & Clowder Monthly Create and Learn classes and printed off the digi that Alyce used as I already had it and off I went. About 3 hours in on Saturday evening and I had only managed the sky, clouds, moon and her skin, but my shoulders and neck were aching after all the leaning over.

I finished the rest off this afternoon and this is how it turned out. I'm pretty pleased with it apart from the two blobs where I leaned on the wet paint! It is a really big piece as well - the biggest I have ever done. It is about 6 inches by 7 inches and I think I'm going to frame this one.

Thought I would add it to a few challenges though. 

Hiding In My Craft Room Challenge #196 Freestyle

Crafty Catz Challenge #275 It's A Girl Thing

Digitally Sweet Challenge #136 Things With Wings

All the colours are the ones used in Alyce's class and I haven't got a clue what they all are!
