Creative Uncles Theme: Sports

Creative Uncles Presents: Sports

I had a lot of fun colouring this one! I am a huge soccer fan and I think you can tell who I support!

I used a digital image from Dr. Digi

I got a huge kick out of this old fella. I hope you get inspired by him. I used Faber Castels to colour him. I found the paper online which I couldn't pass up.

Have an amazing day! Be sure to say hello too!

Cheers, Shawn

Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog #236
Theme: Use Red or Pink

Hello everyone! This is my first project for Crafters Cafe. Super excited to be part of the team and I believe I might be the first male too... LOL

I have created a card from QKR Stampede using image Ballet Shoes Digital Stamp Q-digi 23903 

I used my Faber Castel Pencil Crayons.
I also used Paper, Dazzling Diamonds, and Tufted Embossing folder from Stamping Up.

I used my Big Shot to emboss the White Paper (80lb)

I hope you all like it. Please feel free to drop some love if you like. I would love the feedback.

Creative Uncles Theme: Cars

Creative Uncles Presents: Cars 

I am very excited to be asked to be part of the Creative Uncles Design Team. This is the first time for me being on a DT Team. 

This is our initial launch for January 2020.

The theme for January is Cars. What a great segway for a guy making a card right ... LOL 

I hope that this card will give all of you a wonderful idea to make a card for any male in your life.

I am still learning my colouring techniques but I hope that as time and experience come I will develop more skills and I work very hard at getting better. I do take classes at Kit and Clowder. Alyce is an amazing teacher and even a more beautiful soul. 

I coloured this digital image from one of the Kit and Clowder classes called Christmas Surprise. I put my own spin on it as you can see. I used a combination of Caran D' Ache pencils and Poly Chromos. I also used some items from the Creative Memories collection to add the saying and the gears etc. 

I hope you like my creation.

Cheers, Shawn

I keep forgetting to put up my finished pieces. 

So I have been looking for a sports-themed item I have to do for my DT. I came across this Dr. Digi football guy. I think he is hilarious! I had so much fun colouring him. I hope you like him too 😉😂

I hope he puts a smile on your face 😁
I used lots of techniques I have been learning from Alyce (Kit and Clowder) too. I used Prisma Pencils.
Have an amazing weekend everyone.

Cheers, Shawn

Something Special for my Mom

I have worked on something for my Mom. It is the first time I have done a greyscale piece. I used Caran d'ache pencil crayons and Poly chromos. It was interesting to do. I tried some techniques. I hope you like it.

To Have and To Hold 50 Years!!

I am sharing something today that I made special for my wife's parent's 50th Anniversary. I wanted to do something special for them. I remembered a stamp that Kit and Clowder used from Tiddly Inks. I believe it was called Love.

I dramatically changed it to reflect an anniversary and not a wedding. I am really happy with how it turned out. I hope you do too. Their Anniversary celebration was November 2nd. 

They absolutely loved it! I am so glad as it was my first item I made for a family member and something they will hopefully cherish forever.

Cheers, Shawn
