Marvellous Monochrome

So my first go at the monochrome grey scale look.  Have to say I am quite pleased with the finished product.


The image is from Saturated Canary and is called 'Boobielove'.  I have coloured the image with a combination of flexmarkers, promarkers and one grey copic ciao.  I have added anitas gems, liquid pearls grey ribbon with a runched look and a self made bow with a pearl dangling embellishment.  The pinkpaper is embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder and machine.

Gothic chic

So this was a bit of a different one; not my normal style at all.  Tiddly Inks were sponsoring the challenge over at Haunted Design House so I thought why not give it a go.  I actually really enjoyed it and I am really pleased with the result - hope you like it.


The image is Owlette from the Victorian range of didi stamps by Tiddly Inks.  This is one of my favourite images but I have put off colouring it as I wasn't sure what to do with it.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and polychromos colouring pencils.  The backing papers are from google images when I searched 'gothic backgrounds'.

Underwater



The image is one of my favourite Tiddly Inks digi stamps from the Victorian collection.  I have coloured the image using my promarkers and have cut it out using my nestabilities and cuttlebug.  The colour scheme and layout were chosen for the challenges entered.  It was quite weird sticking to one colour, not something I usually do.
