COLORING FOR CLEAN WATER FUNDRAISING

Folks who love colouring, you gotta check out this upcoming coloring contest organised by Cristena Bagne, to raise funds for clean water in Ethiopia! Clean water is something most of us take for granted, this reminds me to always be thankful for easy access of tap water.

STAR FIELD FAIRY DIGI STAMP COLOURED UPDATE

So this is a digitally coloured update of "Star Field Fairy", a digi stamp which can be found here:
https://www.etsy.com/sg-en/listing/226381989/

She is very versatile and I've always imagined her with a bit of an old-school kawaii vibe, like 80s Japanese stationery. Subconsciously I may have drawn her based on a 1980s-90s grape-flavoured candy called Twinkle - had the cutest packaging ever (wish I still had it)! And maybe even the 1980s Mitsubishi Twinkle character - skipped a few lunches to save up for two Twinkle pencils from the school bookshop in 1988; I never used them since they are so damm cute!! Wonder where those went... hope I still have them. One day I'll try my hand at the moldy 1980s stationery tucked away in my cabinets and post them online when I'm up for skin hives lol.

Anyhow back to Star Field Fairy, you can make it day or night, I prefer a bit of dusk for a cozy feeling to match the pastels. The purple is, you might have guessed, grape-flavoured!

Have fun colouring!

NOT MY DOLLY DIGISTAMP COLOURED

Here is a coloured update of the digital stamp "Not my Dolly" - I had left this post in draft mode for months because I couldn't decide whether to update the original post or create an entirely new post. Anyhow new post it is! I am attempting to colour my linearts whenever there's time.

BAT FLAPPER GIRL DIGI STAMP

Digital stamp 'Bat Flapper Girl' - perfect for flapper and goth-themed lovers and of course for your Halloween crafts! I gave the coloured version a night atmosphere and cute pink bats to stand out. I like bats! Her colours remind me of chinese vampires.
