Weekend Workshop #35 - Digi Friday

Hi there and welcome to our very first Digi Friday, we hope you're going to enjoy what we've organised for you.

Every Friday we are going to feature one digital stamp company in our tutorial and that digital company is offering a prize.

In order to be in with a chance of winning that week's prize all you need to do is leave a comment on that post - that's all there is to it.

We'd love to see you having a go at the techniques we show you in our tutorials, but it's not necessary for you to win the prize.




So to kick off our Digi Friday's we have the fabulous Soft Pencil sponsoring us, and Caryn has done the tutorial featuring one of the digi stamps from Soft Pencil - "Butterfairy"

The prize this week, for 1 lucky, randomly chosen commenter is...




Yup, that's $15 to spend on Elizabeth's gorgeous digital stamps!
So, lets get on with Caryn's tutorial - you're going to love it.

I have chosen this cute little image for the challenge next week from Soft Pencil.  She is printed onto Stampin Up Whisper White cardstock using an inkjet printer.



The paper I had in mind inspired me as to how I was going to colour it.  It is from the Sweet Stack by DCWV.



The pattern is very similar to the design on the wings so I chose my colours accordingly

 I started by applying the palest pink all over the wings and then randomly added the other darker shades to different areas until I was happy with the effect I got.


 



I moved on to the hair chosing shades of yellow building up the colour and adding areas of shadow at the roots with Gold




I coloured in the whole hair area with Primrose to smooth out any hard lines.



For the skin I started with Vanilla and added depth and shadow with Satin.  I gave her rosy cheeks with Blush.



  

Finally I used a quickie glue pen and highlighted the pattern on the wings and covered her dress finishing off with a dusting of fine crystal glitter.



Hugs,
Caryn xxx




Isn't Butterfairy just gorgeous? and Caryn has done a fabulous job with her - the glitter just finishes it off perfectly.

So, all you need to do now is post a comment - only 1 comment per person please. and we'll choose and announce the winner on next week's Digi Friday

Hugs, Denise, Gina & DT x x

  7. such a cute image and beautifully coloured, and I love the glitter!

    I was wondering, is it possible to get the Letraset colour numbers (that correspond with the Tria Markers) for the older ProMarkers? I see the newer ones are numbered as well as given names and it would be helpful to add a couple of Trias to my collection, but I don't want to duplicate and the colour chart isn't too clear .. .. Unfortunately my email to Letraset bounced back so I'm hoping you might be able to ask them.

  51. Just got my first pack of PMs and still very unsure about how to get the best results. Descovered your tutorials earlier this week and have been reading back through ALL of them! I'm learning so much- thank you!
    Not really got into digi as I always worry about smudging the inkjet ink as, up until now all my colouring was water based. Am I right in thinking that PMs don't smudge? -they don't look to in these pictures. Any tips greatfully received!
