SKETCHY FRIDAY #9...USING GUS THE WORM LUCKY IRISH

Gus, is one of the new releases from SK Digis for St. Patrick's Day and he/she is so cute.

anyway, i did better following the sketch this time ( i normally do not).

let me introduce gus the worm lucky irish,

(i am calling her gussy-I made it a girl)

4.25" X 5.5"

since i have been trying different coloring mediums lately (to practice) i have to share i am using crayola watercolors here. i found an old one from my son's childhood years and decided to give it a try. what you see here are the results of it. not bad at all, if you ask me (wink)

(you can click on all the photos for a bigger view)

gussy favors her beauty in watercolors, yeah!

look at he nice blending of colors too, oh my!

hope you like it and give this week's SKD challenge a try. 

you do not need any sk digis to participate, and you might even win some if you join us. the winners are picked randomly, so we all have a chance to win.

come on, you do not even need markers, go and find a forgotten watercolor set and give it a go. :D

we have a new look at SKETCHY FRIDAY CHALLENGE

and this weeks sketch challenge is

please, come and join us!

thanks so much for stopping by the hut, it really means a lot to me.

see you next time!

TIP: i want to repeat that i do all my cutting by hand, taking my time and using my old pink (retired now) precision scissors from   the EK brand....regular scissors do not do me any good for fuzzy cutting. but, maybe they do work for you, you have to try it.

SKETCHY FRIDAY #7...USING THE "LUCKY CLOVER"

hello all

back here after enjoying working with another sketchy friday challenge. today, i am using an image of the newer release for st. patrick's day: the lucky clover... lately, we have had a share of not so good life twists and that is what made me use this image. 

you all know i do the manual fuzzy cutting for these images since i do not own one of those cutter that do :( and i find it so easy working with these images. anyway, let me show you.

Lucky Clover

3.25" x 4.25"

the clover is the main image of the digi selection but it has many other smaller elements you can use any way you need or like. it has smaller clovers, different smaller circles/dots: you can see the entire digital image HERE

this image plus a few more elements is only a dollar...yeap...you read it right!

i tried so hard to stay within this week's sketch. :D---for some reason i have the need of changing things, lol.

TIP: when i print my digi's i use a microsoft word program, set my page size (any size my printer allows me), set all  margins to .25" and "insert" a pic from file (which in this case will be my digi image). i then can re size it to any size i need or want. for this part i use the handles around the image. last, i print.

Supplies Used:

digital image "lucky clover": sk digis

patterned paper:     mme (lost & found two)

stickpins:     webster pages (feb. sprinkle box)

sentiment:     g studio clear stamps
markers:     tim holtz distressed markers  

other:     my supplies

i sure hope you join us this week. 

note that the sketchy friday's challenges run from friday to thursday: this one starts today, the 15th and ends on the 21st. you have a whole week to work on your project and you do not even need sk digis. you can use your own, just follow the sketch. if you do not have any digis, sk digis has a freebie section too. 

thanks so much for stopping by!

THE EYE

 I was on another blog and the owner was explaining something about the design she had on her Gypsy screen and she was apologizing, kind of, about the other layers that show through on the active screen.

Well, I do not know if you know this but if you click on the eye of that layer you do not want to see, this eye closes and the image(s) from that other layer are no there anymore. You can see your Gypsy active layer screen with no distractions from the background.

I did make a comment about it on her blog but got me thinking if any of you knows about 

THE EYE

 SEE U later!
