Christmas in July

I had the pleasure recently to be asked to join in the Joy Clair Design Christmas in July hashtag hop.

If you search using the #christmasinjuly hop in Youtube, you will find a bunch of videos made from digital stamps that were provided by Joy Clair Designs

It was my real play with adding images together. I did it for the 7 kids Create video but I just added the image and I didn't need to separate the images. It came in a slightly different format. It was alot of fun trying to figure it out and honestly probably couldn't of done it without my friend Terra and a little assistance from the hubby! lol

This card evolved over the course of making this card! I coloured it straight adding some extra snow banks and then decided it was abit too boring! So with some card alterations it became a shaker card!

Copics Used:

Snow: B45, B41, BV31, BG70

Snowman started with C4, C2, C0 but I changed this to the snow mix as the snow. I just liked the combo better.

Hat: 110, C9. C7, C5

Holly: YG67, YG63 R,27

Carrot: YR18

Pipe: E47

Once the colouring was done I went back over it with a Marvy Snow Marker. You apply the liquid and careful, if you squeeze the pen it will run fast. Once you apply heat it puffs up. It is actually pretty cool.

I used some Uniquely Creative Snowy Sequins to fill the shaker but I didn't use very much at all.

Just Breathe

Today we have another card for Lesley at Little Bits. There is a couple of us trying to help the boss out during these times of COVID 19. Small businesses are really struggling so each Tuesday I will be uploading a video for her.

We have a Paper Rose stamp set today called Daisy Bouquet and Altenew Bad Days Happen, which is a relatively new set at the shop.

Recipe:

Molotow Art Masking Pen

Distress Oxide Inks: Old Paper, Evergreen Bough, Black Soot

Blending Brushes 

Versafine Onxy Black

Clear Embossing Powder

Heat Proof Vellum (it is thicker vellum)

Uniquely Creative Clear Sequins

Multi Matt Medium (MMM)

Once I removed the masking fluid with a plain child's rubber I used 3 Copics pens ti fill in the gaps I left with the masking fluid. I used C7, BG75, BG93. They blend in really almost perfectly!

Copics Used:

Flowers: E09, YR68, YR16, YR15, R35

Stems: YG99, YG97

 

I used the foam tape to adhere the vellum and used a little bit of the MMM  just underneath it and to apply the sequins.

Stunning Cosmos

Today's card was  a experiment. I wouldn't recommend it. Only because I don't think long time it would be good for your Copic pens. My pens for the brief time I used them, they are fine. But you do so at your known risk. I have however done this without any trouble with normal distress inks.

However, all of this is at your own risk.

Disclaimer done and dusted, now to the play!

Products used:

Altenew Stunning Cosmos

Distress Oxide Inks Abandoned Coral,  Candied Apple

Walnut Stain and Black Soot.

Xmas Red Stickles

Black Cardstock mat 14.4 x 10cm

Main panel 14.1 x 9.7cm

Copics Used

 Flowers: R24 

Shadows:\

 T4, T2 (T2 was ditched later)

 Stems: G99, G94

 

I masked a couple of the flowers using full stick post it notes. The masked made a little halo around the images so I used the red Copic to fill in the gaps.

You can see the odd "shadow" on the flowers. Bare in mind this is a close up, it doesn't look so odd in real life! lol. It was an experiment and it was fun to do but I will stick to dye based inks. That's my choice.

Wink of Stella- Gloss Clear

 

Wink of Stella is applied on their little hats, which is why the close ups look abit odd. Sparkle is ... well sparkling! 

For some bizarre reason I started to put my little owls on water or ice. I don't really know why.... lost my brain for a brief moment. My only excuse. I had to play with the colours to find a blend that would hide the blue enough for me to get away with it. I tried to do a branch under them but I thought the knots in the wood would make it difficult to see the sentiment.
