Thank you Cheri for your generosity. I am so excited about this challenge as I am on the Karleigh Sue Design Team as well as the Artistic Inspirations Design Team. I hope you will all show your appreciation and enter your wonderful projects.
I printed this wonderfully creepy image onto neenah as I find this works so well with my promarkers with no bleeding. I then imported the coloured image into Craft Artist 2 where I removed the white surround and added an equally creepy background.

Plummage Metalique



by Rick St. Dennis

I loved taking my time colouring the carriage with sparkly gel pens and I was so frustrated when my scanner didn't pick up on all the glittery gorgeousness. Hubby came to the rescue in a kitchen cupboard with his trusted box brownie and da dahhh..... sparkles. So now the sparkles have a little frame of their own.
This is such a fantastic steampunk image, so elegant and yet so very steampunk.
Printed onto neenah and coloured with a few promarkers and loads of gel pens. Then into Craft Artist 2 for the removal of the white surround and the addition of some steampunk stuff.

1984 for the Karleigh Sue Inspirational Post




by Cheri

Isn't she gorgeous! Beautifully drawn by Cheri with a perfect 80's hairdo. 
Printed onto neenah and coloured with promarkers and spectrum noir pencils then imported into Craft Artist 2 where I removed the white surround and built up a background.
Humm...Now then, what was I getting up to in 1984? Moving back to England from Munich. Traveling to Beirut and coming 2nd in the World Championships in a sport. Getting engaged the first time round. 1984 was a very good year.

This image is just perfect. I love our caravan so as you can imagine I am overjoyed to have this image in my collection.
I printed this charming image onto neenah and coloured it with promarkers and spectrum noir pencils then imported into Craft Artist 2 where I removed the white from the inside of the caravan and added a metallic sheen and window glass. I did the same for the car. I then removed the white surround and added the background.

Octavia

Polkadoodles

I have a program called Craft Artist 2 so I opened up the Digikit Creator and imported everything into separate sections.. this made it easier to see what I was playing with. In the embellishment section I found this lovely round frame and in my materials section I found a paper-perfect for the scene I was building. I brought the frame onto my workspace, then the chosen paper. I moved the paper to the back then I clicked again on the paper to be able to manipulate it. I used the rubber to remove the paper from the outside of the frame. I then chose a tree and placed it within the frame. I clicked on stamp mode and added several more trees. I clicked on the fence and placed it in front of the trees using the stamp option to make a long fence. I chose Octavia with the fox and placed her centrally within the frame. I added the sleigh and some holly and poinsettas. I used the shadow option to add to the frame, sleigh, frame and flowers. I then added the sentiment.
As I am still on holiday it is lovely to have enough interesting images and embellishments and everything to carry on my crafting.

Octavia The first time

Polkadoodles
Sparkle behind the Unicorn's Horn Special effects 3
for Mischief Circus
The lovely collection has everything I need to craft on holiday. I downloaded a few pieces into Craft Artist 2.  Here I used one of the backing papers and added a fence from the embellishments.I then turned the fence into a stamp and was able to have a fence going the width of the background. I then placed the Unicorn with a glow behind his horn and of course Octavia.

Special Lady for Karleigh Sue

by Cheri for Karleigh Sue
I really must go back to photographing my projects. I coloured this vibrant young woman with glittery ballpoint pens and fluorescent pens and nothing has shown up. She certainly was a delight to colour with very clean lines.
I printed her onto neenah cardstock and used just a few promarkers.. the rest as above. Then I imported her into Craft Artist 2 where I removed the white surround and added a background.
