Di's BIO:  {I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.  I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue! }

A BIG Thank You to our two wonderful Sponsors for your support! 
WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE YOU BACK!

Please note that where applicable, the shipping fees, handling fees and tax fees are the winner's responsibility.

HMFMC # 161

Halli hallo zusammen!
Heute Montag steht die nächste Challenge am House Mouse and Friend Monday Challegen Blog an.
Diesesmal ist das Thema " benutze einen Stempel den du noch nicht verwendet hast".
Für mich war das nicht so schwer, weil ich hier noch ein paar davon habe die "jungfräulich" sind.
Ich habe mich für die Mäuschen entschieden die Schokoeis essen.
Diesesmal ist nicht so viel Schnickschnack dabei, damit eher das Motiv wirkt.
Coloriert habe ich mit ProMarkers.
Schaut doch mal am Blog vorbei was die anderen Teammitglieder gemacht haben!
Vielleicht hast du auch Lust mit zu machen. Einzige Bedingung ist die Verwendung eines House Mouse Motiv´s.

Colortutorial

Hi peeps!
I was asked from Rick St. Dennis Tuto Blog to do a color tuto as guest designer!
Oh - a great honor!
They want me to show you the color technique with the black outlines.
Ok - let´s start!
First of all you need an image from Rick St. Dennis! ;-)
More needs: a very smooth and even paper and colored crayons (a must is a black and a white one and if you color skin then a flesh tone too), a small brush
It´s not important to have expensive art pencils. When I tried out this technique I started with crayons for kids.
Now I do this with Caran dÁche Pablos. But I mix it with others too - like the flesh tones.
I´m working step by step and between I use the brush to take away the dust that it will not smear the white paper.

With the black pencil I start the face. I do all the printed lines. Here on the pic you could not see very well.

For the skin I use 5 colors.

A brown, a redbrown, a apricot and 2 flesh tones.

I always start with the darkest tone.

With the brown I go over the lines witch I did with the black one. Then the redbrown over the lines I did before and a little bit more as you can see on the pic.

Next is the apricot to color more skin - don´t forget to go over the colored lines you did before.

Looks spooky doesn´t it? LOL

Then I use a flesh tone to fill the white areas and blend to the other colors.

For the lips and the rouge/blusher I use a red this time. The cheeks are colored very lightly with the red and blended again with the flesh tone. (cheeks is the most difficult part for me*gg*) If you want highlights on the lips you have to leave small areas white.

And then I go over all black lines with the black pencil again.

First part is done. Now she doesn´t look scary anymore does she??

I´m working step by step the whole image. Everytime start and finish with the black outline.The colored areas starting with the darkest color tone. And don´t forget to take off the dust with the brush!

Next part - the rest of the skin

Now the hair

Here I use 3 different browns, a red and a white. It´s not necessary to use 3 tones but 2 will be fine.

Is start again with a part doing the black outlines.

To fill in start again with the darkrest tone. Go over all with the next tone and leave a very small part uncolored. Over this you go with your white and blend it and it will look like highlights.

Do now the hair step by step like this. I mixed the red in too.

For the eyes same again

black, 2 blue tones and black again

For the dress I use greens - same technique

For the jewels and the border I used a yellow and and orange tone

For the background I use 2 blue tones again

And finally FINISHED!

When it´s finished I use a hair lacquer to "fix it". The sureface of the colored motif get´s totally plain. You can not see any pencil stroke and it looks like printed on a highclass paper. Don´t ask my why - I don´t know!

I hope you like my turorial and you will try it out!

And don´t desperate no one is born master. It´s all exercise and practice.

52 Challenge

Halli hallo und schönes 2014!
Seid  ihr alle gut rüber gerutscht in das Neue Jahr?

Sparen ist ja nicht so meines aber ich habe eine tolle Idee im Net gesehen.
Das ganze nennt sich 52 Challenge und ihr braucht eigentlich nur ein grösseres Glas dafür.
Es geht so: in der ersten Woche des Jahres legt ihr einen Euro hinen, in der 2. Woche dann 2 Euro, usw..bis zum Jahresende. Klar werden die letzten Wochen hart, weil da doch viel Geld rein soll.
Aber am Jahresende sind dann - wenn ich mich nicht verrechnet habe - Euro 1392 drinnen.
Und das ist doch ein nettes Bastelgeld! *gg*
Ich habe ein Glas daheim gefunden und passend zur Küche in Orangetönen gepimpt. Die Tabelle habe ich mir selber gemacht.
Bin mal gespannt ob ich das schaffe?!?!

Hi all!
In the net I found a great idea to save money.
It´s called 52 challenge. All you need is a jar or something like that.
How it works? In the first week you have to feed your jar with one Euro, in the second week with 2 Euros, and so on. At the end of the year - if I´m not wrong - it´s 1392 Euros. Of course it works in British Pounds,Dollars,....too! *gg*
A great amount for crafting stuff!!
I had a jar at home and I pimped it in orange tones that it will fit in my kitchen.
The chart I did myself.
I be curios if I can handle this till to the end of the year 2014!?!

Hier die Tabelle falls ihr es auch machen möchtet.

Here is the chart if you like to do it too.

Danke fürs Gucken / thx for stopping by
