DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: NEW RELEASE :: PHANTASI 1

 It may have been the pain medication recently that prompted me to draw four fantasy images – perhaps I’ll take some more because I rather like how alternative they are, and how prettily they colour up and lend themselves to lots of gems and sequins as embellishmentsYou can see all four Phantasi images in the Digistamps 4 Joy store here


 


This is my card with Phantasi 1, coloured with alcohol markers




I used the following to create my card


white cs card base
digital background paper
sewn on sequins and beads
ribbon

The image is available in jpeg and png format, as well as my hand-coloured version.

 Phantasi 1Phantasi 1 (coloured)

(I think I should take another dose of that medication and draw some more - )

MARCH CLUB KIT REVEAL :: A DAY FOR DAISIES


This beauty is called Mermaid Vintage Black Lingerie, and I coloured her using alcohol markers:

I created a box pleat border, topped with ribbon and pearls.

Two corners are rounded, one with a corner rounded punch, and the other with a decorative corner rounder punch.
