I don’t have human kids, but I treat my fur babies like my kids so you know I can’t miss the opportunity to dress them up! LOL
I colored upĀ Ā this little digi, I named “Bad 2 the Bone,” to look like my little Bandito, but you could color him up completely differently for a totally different look. I kept all the stripes without color so you can use whatever color combinations you might like (e.g., pinks, orange and black, etc.).
I colored up the digi with the following Copic colors: Dark stripes: C5, 7 and 9; White stripes: C1 and 3; White parts of dog: W1 and 3; Brown parts of dog: E11, 13 and 15; Eyes E74 and 79; and Tongue R08 and W3.
I had little sparkly devil horns from an old Halloween costume of mine when I was “deviled eggs” (don’t ask–LOL). Ā I put those on my dog along with a little red jacket to take a few pics for this LO. Ā Actually, my little pup is anything but a bad dog or a little devil. He is as sweet as they come, but I think that’s what makes this “bad dog” layout funny. I used papers and cut outs from the American Crafts “Night Fall” collection, which was from last Halloween, for all the papers and embellishments. To add a little dimension I cut some of the cut outs a couple of times and used foam adhesive behind the top layer.
I also used my Diemond Dies spider web set to kind of “frame” the layout with these incredibly detailed and delicate spider web and spider. I love the interest and balance that they add to the layout. Ā Remember, all the new Halloween dies have recently been released and there is a sale going on right now; everything is 10% off through October 5, 2014. Ā Also, if you use my coupon code: thankskristina, you’ll receive an additional 10% off and free worldwide shipping on orders of $35 or more. Ā Now’s the time to stock up!
Lastly, to add a little softness, I added a triple loop bow that I made with sheer black wire edged ribbon. I cinched the center with black and white twine, and tucked it under the popped up embellishment that is supposed to represent what the little digi dog is saying. š
The following is a video share of this layout:

I super love this image Kristina , Your layout is adorable .
Aww thank you so much Tina! I’ve been thinking of you and your hubby. Sending prayers and well wishes. xoxo
Such a cute image. I’m so glad I’ve found Crafty Paws where I can find cute images of pets. I have a Maltese and it’s hard to find an image of Maltese. Would you consider making one?
Aww thanks so much Peggy. I’m glad you like my digis. I will put your Maltese on my list–it’s a long one, but I do make progress on it. š tf stopping by! Hugs, Kristina
Kristina this digi/layout is amazing. Bandito looks so real. Do you have a video on your coloring? Also do you hand draw these creations because it is amazing. I cannot sketch/draw and I would love to learn. TFS Big hugs De
Aww you are so sweet Dorothy! The next time I color in an animal I will share a coloring video. Basically, it is just keeping a light flicking motion–less pressure comes out with much better results. š As for the digis, I draw them out in pencil first. There is a lot of erasing, re-drawing, etc. until I get to an image I feel I can draw out with a Faber Castell PITT pen (usually M width). Then I scan it into my computer so I can spend a couple of hours cleaning up the image and refining it before I release it. I am not a fast drawer usually so I’m not sure how I would do a video of the process…. Hmmm… You know I haven’t had a chance to watch yet, but Brenda (YT: brendahdp77) is starting a series on drawing lessons on YT. You may want to check it out. š Thanks for stopping by. Big hugs, Kristina
Also is there any chance of getting a pug and rat terrior drswn? Thanks again. Big hugs De
I will add them both to the request list. š I actually have been meaning to draw a pug for a while–hopefully I can do that in the next couple of weeks. Hugs, Kristina
