Opulence By Design Crafts – Secrets of the Sea Graphite Greyscale Turtle Digi Stamp - Now live in the shop! 🐢💙


I’m so excited to share this beautiful new digi stamp with you — and for the very first time, I’ve included a Colour-In Reference Guide to help you bring your turtle to life with ease and confidence!


What’s Included in the Download:

🐢 1 x “Secrets of the Sea” Graphite Greyscale Turtle Digi Stamp

• Supplied in both PDF and JPG formats

• Created on an 8" x 8" canvas

• Fully resizable — perfect for cards, journals, mixed media, scrapbooking and more!

🎨 1 x Colour-In Reference Guide - A coloured version of the turtle to help inspire your shading, tones, and colour choices (Watermarked and provided solely as a colour-reference tool)



How to Use:


Print the digi stamp onto A4 paper, cardstock, or even watercolour paper. Resize to suit your project and enjoy hours of relaxing, creative colouring. Whether you prefer alcohol markers, pencils, watercolours or digital colouring — this turtle is a joy to work with.


The greyscale shading in this digi stamp acts as a built-in colouring guide, making the whole process so much easier and far more enjoyable. The darker areas show you exactly where the shadows naturally fall, while the lighter sections highlight where your brightest tones should go. This means you can focus on choosing your colours and blending them beautifully without having to guess the light source or placement of depth. Whether you’re a confident colourist or just starting out, greyscale artwork helps you achieve rich dimension, smooth transitions, and a more realistic finish with far less effort.


Thank you so much for supporting my designs — I hope you love this ocean-inspired beauty as much as I do! 🌊💙


Happy colouring and happy crafting! 🖤

  Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received!

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day. Although I hung up the snips from day-to-day shop life quite a while ago, my love for flowers and plants has never gone away. I still enjoy dipping back into floristry now and again—whether that’s creating special gifts, working on events, or the occasional wedding. Alongside that, crafting has always been my other passion… so it probably comes as no surprise that the two have blended together over the years in the most wonderful way 💛 Creating flowers out of paper is something I’ve absolutely fallen in love with—and it’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now.
