Digi Bells Blog Hop for February

It's time for a new Digi Bells blog hop. As always, our blog hop is a chance to welcome a new release digi from the amazing Elizabeth Bell...and this time there is another special release of digi's: Anna and Puppy Surprise. Both these images were originally one image, and now they have been separated to add to the fun.

For this challenge, I decided to make a Peek-A-Boo card. Here is my card:

  

I printed my Anna and Puppy Surprise with my Canon inkjet printer onto Copic Xpress Cardstock and coloured the images with Copic Markers. The Copics used are as follows: skin: E11, E00, E000, E0000, R20 hair: E49, E47, E44, E42, clothes: R0000, R85, R83, R81, puppy: W00, E40, E42, G0000, G12, G14 present: Y02, Y11, Y15, Y17, R81, R0000.
But where is the Puppy Surprise? Just open the card and watch as the magic happens:

Here is the card fully open:

ABC Challenge – D is for Die Cut

Welcome to the middle of February and our next ABC Challenge, and this time our challenge is D is for Die Cut and we want you to use your die cuts on your cards. This challenge is sponsored by Di's Digi Designs and Bunny Zoe.

For this challenge, I decided to use this cute dig from Di's Digi Designs – Izzy's Little Donkey. I spent several of my teenage years caring for the donkey's at a local Pioneer Park museum and giving kids donkey rides each weekend. Donkeys will always hold a special place in my heart, and this little image was hard to go past.

 
I printed Izzy's Little Donkey onto Copic Xpress-it card stock and coloured it in with my copics. The colours I used are: W9, W7, W5, W3, W1, W00, C00, C0, C7, C9, C5, E57, E55, E53, E51, E50, E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20, Y28, Y26, Y23, Y21 and Y0000. Here is a closer look:

Instead of using bought flowers, I decided to use a poinsettia made using a die cut. I really like the way this die cut came together - here is a closer look :
