Too Cute NEW Spring Has Sprung digi collection from Polkadoodles
If you were on Instagram & Facebook this weekend, you may have noticed a brand new digi release from Polkadoodles. It was a set of 5 images from the Too Cute range called "Spring has Sprung".
I dusted off my Lyra Rembrandt polycolor pencils, gave them a quick sharpen & had fun getting back in to a colouring vibe with 3 of the images in the release.
You can see the full collection HERE but before popping over, check out the discount code(s) above.
HELLO
I've printed my image in draft mode on to Polkadoodles Ultimate Graphic paper. I prefer to leave my images to settle/dry before colouring but that's me. Using my Lyra Rembrandt polycolor pencils, I began colouring the cute chicks. Look at his hat 💙
The cloud background has been created using Polkadoodles Cloud Landscape stencil with Izink Mer du Sud with a finger dauber. For the grass I used Polkadoodles Grass Lawn Border with Izink dye inks again in Verveine & Menthe.
To add more detail to the grass, I added random flicks of pencil & then my flourescent green Sakura Moonlight Gelly Roll pen. The little flower dots were also made using Moonlight Gelly Roll pans in pink, yellow & orange.
I really wanted the "HELLO" to stand out, so grabbed my Sakura Glaze pen in black. In real life it gives a wonderful raised effect.
SPECIAL WISHES
This was actually the first image I chose to colour because I simply adore the design/layout: from the rabbits, to the background & to the wonderful sentiment design. However one other reason ... it gave me a chance to play & colour with my pencils to get back in to the swing of things.
When I coloured the sentiment, I think I chose the wrong colours as they blended in to the fence far too much. Using a dark grey pencil & a white pen, I've added shadow & light, which now makes the sentiment stand out a wee bit more.
The rabbits were meant to be a little browner but somehow ended up the same colour as hares! I've kept the card design very simple as I wanted the image to be the focal point, not al the layers of faff I usually add 😀
HOPPY EASTER
Now you gotta agree that the sentiment design is simply COOL! I think it's the simplicity of the design; it really packs a punch. This image & sentiment put a huge smile on my face.
Again I have used pencils to colour the whole image. The clouds were created using Polkadoodles great outdoors stencil with Izink dye ink pad in Mer du Sud.
To lift the scene, I have used my Sakura Moonlight pens to add dots of colour as if they are wee flowers in the grass. The sentiment has been coloured with a Sakura black glaze pen, I real life, it gives a wonderful raised, gloss look.
