Celebration Time - Ppinkydolls Design Team

Officially from today, I can now announce that I have been selected to join the Ppinkydolls Design Team as a Colourist for 6 months to promote and showcase the increasing range of amazing digital images from the international artist Chrishanthi Liaropoulou.

The owner/artist, Chrishanthi, lives in Athens Greece, and has her own Etsy store displaying an array of little people, odd creatures, wounded children, soulful faces, deep emotions, each one telling a story from within ...!!

Available for purchase are:  Collectible Ppinky dolls, Art Prints, Mini and Original Paintings, Mini wood blocks, Art Dolls, Limited Edition signed prints, Coin Purses, Postcards and more.  And of course, digital images for the paper craft enthusiast.  I am so honoured to be working alongside a very talented artist.

The following images were my very first colour previews that I submitted.  You will find the link to the store and facebook page on the right hand side of my blog.

This will be a wonderful opportunity :)  Thank you to Chrishanthi xx

The Paper Nest Dolls

Bonjour my friends.  I was fortunate to receive a gift of two images from the artist Christine Young, of The Paper Nest Dolls some weeks ago because she admired my colouring.  Today I had opportunity to sit and colour this beautiful French Girl Avery.  Merci :)

Casey, Piper and Fairy Sweet

This image is from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps, Saturated Canary range.  Her name is Casey.  Such a beautiful stamp.

This next image is "Piper" also from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.

This is the gorgeous Fairy Sweet digital image also from Saturated Canary.  She is ever so sweet and such a fun image to colour.  

Tiddly Inks

I just adore this digital image from Tiddly Inks called "Inking of You".  This image also comes with a digital print of an ink well which I didn't use in this instance.  As soon as I saw the beret, I had to have her :)

Guest Design Team Call

These are my entries for the Guest Design Team call over at Saturated Canary.  Krista is looking for two people to join her team as a guest until 1 Jan 2015.  The image we had to use was "Kit", such a sweet face.  I would be absolutely stoked if I were selected, there could be tears lol.  Wish me luck :)

A few weeks ago Whimsy Stamps released Part 1 of their 2014 Holiday Collection. Today, the DT and GDT are extremely excited to start sneak peeks for the second part of their 2014 Holiday Collection!

 For today's project, I inked up "Penguins Hang a Wreath" from the "Crissy Armstrong Collection" and sentiment from "Whimsy Sentiments Collection".

I loved colouring this particular image, it was fun, cute and loads of detail.
