Tulips

I decorated this scrapbook page using Deborah's Tulips image, as it was my Mom's favourite spring flower. I used pro-markers to colour it, if you'd like more details on how it's made please visit my blog...link in the sidebar. Scroll down the previous posts and you'll find this beautiful image available to buy.

Tulip Still Life

Isn't this a beautiful image?  It's another one by Deborah.  I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get around to sharing my work with you.  My next one will be the adorable bunny.  Look on the page down a ways, and you can some of her latest work.  She's an awesome artist.


I just had to do the vase in blue.  That's how I saw it, when I first got a look at the image.  I won't say it's my best work, but I'm fairly happy how it turned out.  Have a great day, and if you'd like to know more about what I used on the card, please stop my blog <a href="http://desigsnbydj.blogspot.com"> here</a> and you'll learn a little more about it.

Have a great day.

Hugs,

Red Eyed Tree Frog

Isn't this Tree Frog just adorable. I've always loved tree frogs so I've looked forward to playing with this fella. I intend using him a lot and have planned to make a new home, and a get well card soon.  This card is for a Friend with Terminal Cancer, he has learning difficulties and they haven't told him how little time he has left. He's getting loads of visitors but as my daughter and myself can't see go to see him I wanted to make him a bright cheerful card that he'd enjoy looking at all day. He's coloured here with blendable pencils 

Here he is on a Clean and Simple card, so you can see exactly how much impact such a detailed image has entirely on its own. I did this one in promarkers. 

As with all of Deborah's images, he was a delight to colour, with so much detail he almost coloured himself lol. If you'd like more info on how I made the cards, please pop over to my blog, link in the sidebar.

Vase Of Tulips

I needed to make a Sympathy card today and felt this beautiful vase of tulips that Deborah designed would be perfect. A gentle relaxing image without being morbid in any way. I enjoyed colouring it and had fun with the vase, which I wanted to try and make look like china. I used a mixer of promarkers and Sakura pens. If you'd like more details please pop by my blog, link in sidebar.

Lop Eared Bunny

This is one of the latest of Deborah's beautifully detailed images. The detail and shading made it easy for me to colour, despite initially being a little scared that I wasn't up to it. Took me a while to be happy with the colour I added, I wanted her to look like my bunny Lucy I had a few years ago. I've two more images to work on, so I'll be back with those soon. 

A bit of a close up because I want you to get a good look at the cute expression on her face.
If you'd like details of how I made this, and colours I used etc, please pop over to my blog..link in sidebar.

Red-eyed Tree Frog


Hello everyone, dj here.  This is one of the newest images by Deborah Boyet.  As soon as I saw him, I wanted to color him.  I love the way his eyes just pop out at you.  I hope you enjoy looking at him, and that you will pop into the shop and get him for yourself.  I'll be working on a couple more images soon, so don't forget to stop back in.  If you want a little more information about the details, please feel free to stop by my blog by clicking on my name on sidebar.

A Little Chickadee

Hello,

It's been a while since I've posted a card here. However, I hope that will be changing soon, as she has come out with some new images, and plans to do more in the future. I'm dj ( Debra) and I think the designs by Deborah are fantastic! She is one of the best artists that I have been associated with. She does fabulous still life as well as, real animals, birds, etc.

This little chickadee jumped out at me when I first saw it. I love to color realistic images, as much as I like ones that are not. I colored this with Prismacolors and Gamsol. The colors remind me of spring, which many of us are ready for. The large flower on the bottom right is made with tissue paper, which is one of my favorite flowers to make because they don't flatten as easily when mailed.

I hope you enjoyed seeing another of Deborah's images finished, and that his might give you an idea of what you can do it.

Hugs,

dj (Debra)

New Digis! Flowers, and a Frog

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!
December found me in California as a traveling nurse. I am working hard, but enjoy the change. It is warmer here than in South Carolina.

Anyhoo, it was a bit of an adjustment, and a 4 day drive here, so I have been away from my digi friends. I have been back at work and have 3 new digis!

Check them out. They are available at
here (Stitchy Bear Stamps store), as well as through this website.
This little guy is just waiting to cheer someone up on the front of a card. He would also be cute on a little boy's card.






This is a lovely vase of tulips in a blue and white vase. Delicate, and inviting it will cheer up a friend or make a great Spring is Coming flower. Nice for easter, and even Valentine's day if you make the tulips red.






This is a lovely bearded iris, just waiting to share with someone. Can you tell I am ready for spring???? I love to see the beautiful coat of colors mother nature dons to show off to the world.






Please visit my blog to view other digis for sale.

Email me with questions and inquiries. Thanks for stopping by, and as always enjoy your journey in life my friend.
