Shadow

Hello!

I made another pastel drawing, this time it features gorgeous cat Shadow.

Unfortunately he isn't with us anymore, but I hope this will be a nice way to remember him.

He will have quite the trip, all the way to Canada! Hopefully he will make it safely and make his owner happy.

I used PanPastel, Derwent pastel pencils and Stabilo CarbOthello on PastelMat.

Until next time, have a colorful day.

Tiddly Inks November challenge

Hi!

November already, time for a new challenge at the Tiddly Inks challenge blog.

Since 'gift season' is coming up, we're making tags this month.

I used Snowy Wishes and Snowman, which is on sale right now! 

For my Birthday last month, my husband gave me a full set of Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I used them for these tags on kraft paper.

Now it's up to you, good luck and have fun!

Until next time, have a colorful day.

Whipper Snapper Ahh..Nuts!

Hello!

Last post I showed you a drawing of cat Tebbie that I made as a present for my aunt.

Today I made her a card as well.

Along with the framed drawing we will give her some assorted good quality nuts, so this stamp seemed appropriate. 

The main stamp is called Ahh Nuts! from Whipper Snapper designs. 

Text stamps are C.C.Designs and Stampin' Up!

She can take a joke, so I thought this was really funny!

I used the following copic colors:

Acorns - E49, E47, E39, E18, E35, E33, YG95

Shadow - T7, T5, T3, T1

Until next time, have a colorful day!

Tebbie

Hi!

Another pastel drawing today.

Tebbie the cat is my sisters', but my aunt happily takes her in when my sister is on vacation. She loves the cross eyed sweet cat.

So when I had to think what to give my aunt for her upcomimg birthday, I decided to draw Tebbie for her.

I used PanPastel, Derwent pastel pencils and Stabilo CarbOthello on PastelMat.

I hope she will like it!

Until next time, have a colorful day.
