More Fur Practice on Sammy with Ball

July 29th, 2010 | Posted in: Craft Projects | 19 Comments »

Hi Everyone,

I am REALLY naughty. I should be in bed. It’s 5:30am (now 6am) and my head hasn’t hit the pillow yet. I’ve been waiting for a video to upload on Youtube (with 430mins still to go I have given up waiting now – last time I upload in HD!) and decided in the meantime I would colour in Sammy with Ball from The Stamping Bazaar.

I feel a little privileged as I WON Sammy with Ball a couple of days ago and I am the first to have him!! woot!! lol refrained from being cheeky then.

So another excuse to practice my new-found fur skills. (pity about the grass skills – I think that’s next on the list of things to tackle!)

The background image is called ‘Rainbow Meadow‘ and is available in store for only $2.50.  The image is coloured with copic sketch markers.

Sammy is coloured with: YR31, YR24, E13, E17, E19 & E29 then N Greys for some additional depth.

The paper is from October Afternoon – have I told you I am in LOVE! I love their papers. It’s pretty close now between BG, OA and Prima…  hmmm

I made the flowers using the three smallest dies from Blossom Nestabilities set.

I’m game enough to share a close up with you this time.

Of course as usual, I had no plans before I began colouring and so I went out searchign for ideas to create the card. Fortunately I found some challenges! heehee

I would like to share this creation with the following challenges:

  1. Stamp Something – (again) Something Flowery – Gave me the idea to make my own flowers!
  2. Simon Says Stamp – Their going Dotty! – Helped me pick out my papers!
  3. Digital Tuesday – Dazzle Me – Stickles on the clouds and rainbow!
  4. Crafty Creations – Happy or Sweet – I think Sammy looks happy playing with his ball don’t you?
  5. Daring Card makers - Layer it up!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and checking out what I’ve been up to!

Stay tuned as tomorrow my video should finally be uploaded. I have created a video showing you how I add depth using grey copic markers.

Hugs and take care

Zoe xxooo

Sammy’s topknot is my fav part; it turned out so well. For the grass, could you do it like you did the fur, with short fine strokes? Just an idea, don’t know if it would be the right look once you actually tried it, but that’s my first guess.
