"Willow" AND "Melinda and Moohoo" DIGITAL STAMPs BY HANNAH LYNN

Good afternoon! Here's another digital stamp colouring from Hannah Lynn's images! This one is called "Willow" oh my word, I love her she's so pretty! I had to pick green shades as it's my favourite colour. This piece was done on my new kraft card stock (170gsm via ebay) It's so much better than the thick card I had and it hasn't jammed my printer. I have used Prismacolors Sakura gelly roll and graphik pen for highlights and stars. I guess the background is similar to a galaxy style but the next colouring you will see is a little better with that technique...

And here she is! Ta da! This gorgeous one is called "Melinda and Moohoo" I think I got the galaxy effect a bit better... ok I lied it IS better in my opinion... Again I have used prismacolors Sakura gelly roll and graphik pen (which is now broke I'm still angry about that)  for highlights and stars. In addition however I have used Caran D'Ache metallic wax crayons. I love working with those - they lay down easily and can be blended like any regular coloured pencil with solvents or a blender stick/pencil. I hope you like my latest coloured work.
Thanks for stopping by!

"Charlene" DIGITAL STAMP by Hannah Lynn

Good afternoon (again?!) Second post I know, I'm a little behind in my blogging (2 kids slightly under the weather and a sleep deprived mummy running around after them) So now we're up to date here's my latest colouring! This is Charlene printed on to Kraft card stock I had a pack in my craft stash bought from Crafter's companion. Now it's 280gsm I think, so fairly thick and it's also temperamental with my Epson printer. Even with the setting adjusted to print at Matte it sometimes eats the card and gets it stuck.

I've ordered some 170gsm Kraft card from ebay to trail out I will let you all know how it prints and takes to being coloured on. I printed Charlene on A4 size without "being fitted" to the frame so it prints at actual size. I have used prismacolors which work really well on this card as there is a slight texture it allows more colour to be layed down and the colour just pops out which I was amazed by!

I've added in highlights using my new Derwent graphik white pen - I highly recommend this pen its perfect. I've also added in diamantés and a couple of water drop shaped cabochons after hand tearing the edges for a roughed up look. Originally I didn't intend to use the cabochons but I accidentally smudged some glue whilst sticking the finished colouring on to the white card stock and it stained blue from the prismas I had used so a cover up was needed.

I hope you like my latest colouring here's the finished piece on it's own. Thanks for stopping by!

"Kissy fish" Enchanted Faces: Mermaids, Fairies & Fantasy by Hannah Lynn.

Good afternoon! Well I forgot to add this finished colouring to my blog... Oops! This is "Kissy fish" coloured using Koh-I-noor polycolors, prismacolors, graphik pen, pentel brush pen in black for outline fixing and some diamantés for glam! I love adding in diamantés it just adds a little umph to my work. This is actually the first coloured piece I've done where I have left a whiter area in the hair for highlights. It was a little more challenging for me but I think it worked out great.
I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by

Bohemian Fantasy: A Grayscale Coloring Book by Molly Harrison *Page one*

Good morning! So I got a new colouring book... A little bit different though, it's a grey-scale book by Molly Harrison who I may add is a superb artist. She also draws cute figures like mermaids. (I've ordered 2 of her whimsical books)

This is the first page that I have completed. Isn't she lovely! I have used Caran D'Ache metallic pencils and wax pastels. The wax pastels are so shiny and creamy! They can be blended with blending solution! How cool is that! I have used prisma colors on the skin, Koh-I-Noor polycolors and a white Sakura gelly roll.

I hope you like this piece. Thanks for stopping by!

"Sherriella" from Enchanted faces:Mermaids,Fairies & Fantasy colouring book by Hannah Lynn

Good morning! Today I'd like to show you my latest completed colouring. I'm SO proud of this particular one, it took me a total of 8 hours the skin alone took 2 hours. I decided to work with my new Koh-I-Noor poly-colours (I bought the full set - a bit risky I know) and they are beautiful to work with very close to Faber Castell in my opinion just a bit less soft in the leads.

Along side these poly-colours I used Prismacolors on the skin and lips, boy that was a challenge. It's the first time I worked with a more "Sun kissed" look. I used Peach, Salmon pink, burnt ochre, light peach, blush pink and pink (In that order) and blended with Zest it! a blending medium for coloured pencils... it's citrus...yum ! (Note: Don't eat it!)

I also used a Sakura white Gelly roll, Sakura extra fine in silver and a pentel brush pen in black to go over the pencil marks that showed up on the black.

I hope you like this colouring as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by!

"Poinsettia pixie" from Enchanted Faces: Mermaids, Fairies & Fantasy Coloring Book by Hannah Lynn

Good Morning! Today I am showing you my completed colouring from Hannah Lynn's Enchanted faces book.  (This is the full size version) This was completed for the June colour pallet challenge over at Hannah Lynn's Whimsical Adult Colouring facebook group I absolutely love this group it's so full of friendly and kind talented people. So for this Poinsettia Pixie I used Prisma colours and Faber Castell Polychromos combined together (One day I'll have the full set of prismas!) I also used a Sakura gelly roll and a Faber Castell pitt drawing brush pen to go over the outlines.

Here's the Colour pallet we were asked to use:

We were told that navy would be accepted as the colour looks different to everyone. I opted for navy as that's what it initially looked like to me. It took me a couple of evenings to finish and some time during the day so roughly around three hours in total. I hope you like it and thank you for stopping by!

"Celia" from Enchanted Faces: Mermaids, Fairies & Fantasy Coloring Book by Hannah Lynn

Good afternoon! I'd like to show you my latest completed colouring from Hannah Lynn's Enchanted Faces: Mermaids, Fairies & Fantasy Coloring Book.(This is the large version) For this Colouring I used Prisma colours on the skin,eyes and hair. The wings, dress and background have been done with WH smith pencils which are utter rubbish in my honest opinion. I had to use Zest it! Blending solution to fix it. I will write up a detailed review of those pencils pretty soon. Anyway I went back over the outlines (coloured pencils can be seen on the outline if you colour onto them) with a Faber Castell pitt drawing brush pen and I added highlights with a white basic gelly roll pen. I hope you like my work and thanks for stopping by!
