Digitally Sweet #125 - Anything Goes

The new challenge this week at Digitally Sweet is everyone's favourite "Anything Goes". Once again we are sponsored by Bugaboo and I chose this cute Cupie baby -Moon image to work with.


I thought it was perfect for a new baby card! Using Craft Artist2 as usual I coloured hime digitally and added him to a dark blue background, added some clouds and a swirl - job done!

This post is tinged with a little sadness as it is my last one for Digitally Sweet. I have regretfully decided to stand down from the DT as I needed to free up some time for other projects - mainly house and garden related! I'm sure though that I will join in the challenges from time  to time  - after all I will need my digital fix!

Digitally Sweet # 124 - Anything but a Card or Layout

Hi, this week the challenge at Digitally Sweet is "Anything but a Card or Layout". I started off with the idea of a giftbag but it all went horribly wrong so I made a bookmark instead! We are sponsored by Lacy Sunshine and I chose Water Lily Enchantress to work with.
I started off by colouring her with Spectrum Noir pencils but the colours seemed to come out very pale and when I scanned it back in was much too wishy washy. I think I must be doing something wrong with them so will have to find some tutorials and practice. So I recoloured her by going over my original colouring with Promarkers - much brighter! The background and other elements are from various Daisytrail kits and as usual I used Craft Artist 2 to create it.

Digitally Sweet #123 -" Dance like nobody's looking"

Hello and welcome to another new challenge at Digitally Sweet where the challenge is "Dance like Nobody's Watching"Our sponsor is Lunagirl who once again has provided some beautiful images to work with.
 
I as usual created the card in Craft Artist and found some paper and embellishments in my DaisyTrail kits. I recoloured the paper to match the pinky shades in the image. The music panel is from another Lunagirl image we had for a previous challenge. I found the quote on the "net" which is attributed to Mata Hari!

Digitally Sweet Challenge# 121 - Favourite Shape

Hi and welcome to a new year and a new challenge on Digitally Sweet. This week the challenge is "My Favourite Shape" and we are sponsored once again by Stitchy Bear. I have used the Calla Lily set which included papers and the lovely digi stamp.

 
 I really didn't need to do much to create a pretty page.I used a circle as my  shape and used one of the papers as a backing for the digistamp. I was going to paper piece or colour but then decided to just change the line colour and add a shadow to it. Another of the papers for the background and a couple of embellishments and my card was finished. As ever I used Craft Artist 2 to create the card and the embelishments were from some Daisy Trail kits.Do head over to the challenge blog to see what shapes the rest of the team have used.

Digitally Sweet Challenge #118 - Using Non Traditional Christmas Colours

Hello blog readers! It's time for a new challenge at Digitally Sweet and today the theme is to "Use Non-Traditional Christmas Colours". We are sponsored by Lunagirl who provided this great image of Santa.
 
 I used the decoupage tool in Craft Artist 2 to give depth to the image. I've never used it before but like the effect it gives. An embossed overlay on the background and a simple bauble (recoloured to match Santa) and pine spray and my card was done.
Do head over to the challenge to see the other DT's creations.

Digitally Sweet #117 - Sentiment as Main Focus

Hi and welcome to this week's challenge at Digitally Sweet . First though I would like to give a warm welcome to Granmargaret who has joined the DT.

On to the challenge which is to use the sentiment as the main focus. We are sponsored by Lacy Sunshine . I chose to use Peppermint Snow Globe, but when I got the image couldn't for the life of me remember what I had planned to do with it - so the thinking cap had to go on.

 

 As usual I created it in Craft Artist 2 and coloured the image digitally in the programme as well. Wish I could remember what my original idea was! Head on over to the challenge blog and see what great designs the rest of the DT have come up with.

Digitally Sweet Challenge #108 Lots of Flowers

Welcome to a newchallenge at Digitally Sweet and this week the sponsor is Lacy Sunshine.
The challenge is "Lots of Flowers"
 
 I used Flower Pot Pretties Sunny as I always associate sunflowers with late summer/early autumn. Rather than add lots of flower embellishments I decided to be a bit more subtle and used a digital embossing folder of sunflowers on my background. As usual it was created in Craft Artist 2. I did colour the image with Copics then scanned it back into the computer to add it it to my digital card.

It's a little bit difficule to see on here but the centre circle is embossed with a holly wreath and a Merry Christmas sentiment in the middle using the Digiboss digikits from Daisytrail.

Digitally Sweet - Rock it Out!

Welcome to this week's challenge at Digitally Sweet where the theme is "Rock it Out!" We are sponsored once again by Stitchy Bear who provided us with some great images and papers to work with. When I went to upload my first attempt it looked so very similar to Karen's that I changed some of the papers and this is the result.
 Floppe Latte "Music of Love"
Panda Bear Designs "Sweet Melodies"

But then I thought I'd do another quick one using a different image and papers.  This paper reminded me of a photoframe and the colouring looked a bit like those pictures you used to be able to buy that were etched on metal - so that is the route I took.

 Panda Bear Designs "Sweet Melodies"
My Heart Pieces "Oh Boy"

So this week you've got twofer one!

Digitally Sweet - Charming

Its Friday and there's a new challenge at Digitally Sweet. This week the sponsor is Lacy Sunshine. I have used " Abby Mending a Broken Heart". The challenge is to use a charm on your project.

I coloured the image with Copics then scanned it back into the computer. As usual I then created this in Craft Artist. I cherry-picked the elements from a number of Daisy Trail kits. I'm afraid I'm a bit late posting this again. I thought I'd got over the bug I had but woke up this morning feeling pretty awful again. Just hope it goes soon!

Digitally Sweet #104- Chocolate and Cream

Apologies for posting this late and my lack of commenting all week. Unfortunately I have not felt very well all week and still feel ropey despite having had a course of antibiotics.  Trouble is I can't get to see my own doctor for another week!! but may have to go see someone else if I don't feel any better on Monday. The sponsor this week at Digitally Sweet is Lunagirl who supplied some lovely images to work with. Sorry this is short and sweet - off to languish on the sofa again!
