Digital Delights by Louby Loo Octopus

I have a card to share today using the Digital Delights by Louby Loo Octopus digital image!

I had so much fun coloring this cute image with just four Copic markers, can you believe it?!  

I used B0000, B00, B12 & B24, added extra dots with B24 for shading and texture.

My layout is inspired by a June sketch from The Paper Players.

You know how I like my sketches, better a little late than not at all?!

The sentiment is made on my computer, I was looking for something cute to say to a child who might receive this card.  It is going in my Operation Write Home box.  I'm also going to use it for this weeks Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge, the theme is a color challenge using Complimentary Colors.  I won't get all technical about colors on you here because I'll just confuse myself in the process.

I hope you'll stop by our Digital Delights by Louby Loo blog to see all the eye candy our design team has made too!

Digital Delights by Louby Loo School Boy

It's time for the new release at Digital Delights by Louby Loo today!

My card uses the new School Boy digital image, the School digital paper pack, and the School Sentiment set.  I squeezed all that into one card!

In case you were wondering what happened to the sentiment here it is.  I've been playing with decorating the insides of my cards a little lately.  This one seemed like a natural with the Operation Write Home sketch layout I used mimicking the card front using the digital papers.  I re sized, cropped and layered to digitally decorate the inside of my card.  Pretty fun!

Digital Delights by Louby Loo Toadstools

I have a Digital Delights by Louby Loo design team card to share today, for my image I used Toadstools and colored them with Copic markers.  I have a supply list below.

My card layout is Operation Write Home's sketch #26.  I was thinking neutral colors when the card was formulating in my mind, it seems kind of odd to me now that it's done.  I'm used to all the bright bold colors I've been using lately.  I think it will be a nice masculine card for my OWH box.

Digital Delights by Louby Loo Bucky

I have a new release Digital Delights by Louby Loo design team card to share today!

I used the digital stamp Bucky, sentiment set Western Sentiments & Western Accessories.

This was a really fun card to make.  I've been having a hard time merging/layering my design team images and figured out how to fix my problem in Photoshop Elements.  I knew I could do it!  :)  I used both Bucky and the cactus from the Western Accessories digital stamp sets and merged them together so Bucky is sitting in the "shade" of a saguaro cactus.  I'm an almost native to Arizona but originally came from Montana so this new release has me totally inspired!  Figuring out how to merge these images didn't hurt any either!

I used my Copic sky background technique for the sky and kind of wish I would have used a die cut sun in the corner but there isn't any room now - that's what I mean by I'm inspired, my mind is working overtime on this one.  The video tutorial for the Copic sky background can be found on my Copic tutorials page here.  I also made some digital paper using the Western Accessories digital stamp set, the tan paper was just too plain without anything on it.  

Here's my supply list:

ALL DDSTAMPS USED:  Bucky, Western Accessories, Western Sentiments

CS AND PAPERS:  Via Vellum Basic Black & Leaf Green, Neenah Desert Sand, Copic X Press It, Mohawk Color Copy Bright White 110 lb
INK:  HP OfficeJet 6000, HP LaserJet
MARKERS (if any):  YG01, YG03, YG63, G43, G40, E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E01, B000, T1, T2, T3

Digital Delights by Louby Loo Lonely Pups

I have a fun design team card to share with you today for Digital Delights by Louby Loo using Lonely Pups and the Missing You sentiment set.  Both are digital stamp sets.

I've been wanting to color this cute pup from the Lonely Pups digital stamp set and had my chance today.  Instead of making the bench the pup is sitting on a wood tone I thought I'd live dangerously and use a color that intimidates me - VIOLETS!  I've had a hard time blending the violets and blue violet as well as the red violets so it's time to practice and see if I can find some good combinations that work for me.  I have to say that I'm very happy with the way the bench turned out, this could become one of my favorite color combos.

Here are the Copic markers I used E30, E31, E33, E41, YG01, YG03, YG63, YG67, R20, B000, for the bench V12, V15, V17.  I mostly used V15 & V17 on the bench because the V12 was a bit streaky.  

The layout for the card is Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps sketch #26 and I added the Spellbinders Tags Trio tag so I could use the Missing You sentiment.  The button on the tag is from a Cheery Lynn Designs button die and I used a little crochet thread for the bow.  Papers are Via Vellum Basic Black, Leaf Green & Violet, Neenah Sand and Copic X Press It.  

I hope you'll check out our Digital Delights by Louby Loo blog today to see all wonderful creations made by our design team.
