So it's Wednesday 7th April 2021 and I'm actually doing my next Blog Yea me.. One of the ranges I designed for Dolly Dimples was Under The Sea, Charmain did have a previous range called Under the Sea with art work by another artist. I was asked to add further characters to this range. Once I started I basically couldn't stop, the character's kept coming which eventually created an extremely large collection. The above is the line art I drew on A4 copier paper, the original sketches are in a journal book that I can't seem to find at the moment, quite frustrating but I'm sure when I'm not looking for it, it will appear. The line art will be used to create the stamps. Once I have the line art finished I then scan it onto my computer and print onto mixed media card.

Meet Love.. One of the Festival Dollies. It's not long now until Dolly Dimples are back on our TV screens on Create and Craft.

I used my stamp press to get a good image of Love, then using the alphabet template I cut out the letter L. Then fussy cutting the image out and using alcohol markers I coloured in Love and used a white pen to add high lights. The letter L I decorated with paper and stamped with VersaFine CLAIRE ink, using the word and flowers stamps included in the ...
Well its a new year and hopefully a brighter one than last year. I'm hoping to post here on here more regularly rather than all these add hock post's, there just never seems enough time in the day what with working, designing, creating, running a family and trying to get down the gym. So fingers crossed I've not long completed the new range of stamps coming out for Dolly Dimples this Monday 17th January 2022. You can see them on The Craft Store at 6pm UK time as the new ODS (One day special). They are called Forest Friends As from my previous posts the concept is the same with regards to sketching the images out and then completing the line art, which in turn is made into clear stamps. I have added a few images below so you can see the various ways you can create your own scenes This character is called Sidney the badger but y...
