Lily & Moss

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm using the Kasiercraft Lily and Moss Paper Pad.  Contact Lesley at Little Bits on 03 9798 4122 or email her on littlebitscards@hotmail.com

Lesley has a few of these paper pads left.

I also used Paper Rose stamp set called Ella's Garden Rose Bouquet and the sentiment came from Altenew Many Thanks. More of this stamp set should be arriving soon.

I found this sketch in a book that I bought quite a while ago.

 

 

I used 2 prismacolor pencils

Rose PC929

Sandbar Brown PC1094

In the end the Text paper measures 5cm x 10cm

Pink Dot 5cm x 9cm

Marble 7cm x 7cm

Green wood 6cm x 4cm

Using a Copic Black Multiliner .5 to add some doodles around each piece.

 

Final touches were to put some StarDust stickles on the roses and a few spots around the card.

You can find the video here.

I hope you enjoyed it and thankyou for stopping by.

Sketch challenge

This morning I had a zoom with a bunch of ladies who were mostly from America, few Canadians.

We were given a sketch as a challenge and had to make a card in an hour.

This is the sketch.

So I grabbed an old paper pad from Kaisercraft called Take Note.

Mostly my cards I just used pages out of the pad including the die cuts.

The first card is the only one I actually used a stamp.

The stamp is Paperrose Daisy Border. The sentiment is from the same set. I also sponged the panels with Walnut Stain.

Thank you for stopping.

Carved Leaves

Hi all,

Welcome back.

Today's card is using Darkroom Door Carved Leaves Vol 1.

I started with a different ink but changed it to a lighter one, which was much better. The darker ink was Pear Pizzazz by Stampin Up. It was just too dark for what I wanted.

 I included hand drawn leaves to fill in the background.

Ingredients

Stamped with Shabby Shutters distress ink not oxide. I wanted the texture.

Prismacolour pencils

941, 911, 1090, 912

Black paint.

I used MFT Many Thanks die. It is an older die but any word die would be prefect. I cut out 3 in black, to go behind the main panel and 1 out of the coloured piece.

I finish it off I used Taylored Expressions Simple Strips. This is a brilliant stamp and die set. Truely must have.

This one is using slightly darker ink to start with.

You can find a video here showing how I did everything.

Thanks for stopping by.

Brighter Days

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well.

Today's card is an old stamp but I'm trying to use things so I don't have the shame of an unused stamp that I had to have and then it sat unused.

It is a super cute image and I saw on Instagram someone made a rainbow bubbles. I thought it was Loshakeratoalberto but I couldn't find it. So not my idea but my choice of colours and my colouring.

 

Copic Used were:

Dragon: G29, G46, G43

E47, E43, E41

Mushroom R29, R27, R24 

W4, W1, W0

Bubbles:

B0000, B000

RV000, RV02

BG10, BG13

V01, V05

R05, R02

Y00, Y02

I wanted to add texture to the Dragon so using some Isocol Rubbing Alcohol I applied it to a cloth and dabbed it over the Dragon before I coloured anything else. You need to do this otherwise your mushroom and everything will have the same texture.

The sentiment is from a stampin Up set called "Weather together"

I used a white Gel pen to settle some of the colours in the bubbles. Also to hide an over zealous copic marker

Cardstock to matt the image was So Saffron by Stampin Up.

You can find a video here.

Thanks for stopping in.

Thursday in isolation

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a card for you that I made a couple of weeks ago.

I went to make another with a video but.... I didn't like it at all! I tried to add less dimension but it really didn't work. So this is what you get! lol

Copics used were:

Pots: E19, E17, E13
W7, W5, W3, W1
Plants: YG67, YG17, YG13
Stampin Up old Neutrals Pack- Retired sorry but I need to use it up and you can use any papers that work nicely with the colours you have picked to colour.

Dies used were Uniquely Creative Cross Stitched Circles. They are really good as they cut out the inner circle you can use for another card with the cross stitched detail on them.

Thank you for stopping by.

Take Care

Sending You Love

I LOVE this card! I will definitely say that.

I have seen lots of people using coloured pencils over Copics. 

I think I need to have more of a play with this because I just love the effect. Such strong contrast!

Copics Used

R39, R37, R35, R32

Pencils PC901, PC937, PC925

BG96, G94, G24

Momento Tuxedo Black 

My local Craft shop has had someone make some stencils. You can contact them here.

I used Distress Oxide Pumice Stone with the stencil.

The stamp set is from Uniquely Creative Sending Love. After using my Brother Scan and cut I used Distress Marker Black Soot to go around the edge from the back to just finish off the image.

The sentiment is just from the stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed it, I really loved making it for you.

Take care, thank you for stopping by.

Craftroom Tour Jan 2020

Hello Everyone,

Today I have two things to share with you.

Super quick on my you tube channel here is a Part 1 video for my craft-room tour. It's in 2 parts because I like to look thru peoples drawers so that's what I did. Part 2 can be found here.

Second, is some cards I did for The 30 day Colouring Challenge on Instagram.

I have been playing with Alcohol Inks lately. I decided to check out the browns.

I used Couture Creations Butterscotch, Mushroom and Espresso

  Gold Mixative

I used Hello Peek s boo die from Paperrose and also Stitched Tags.

I used a technique of partially die cutting to cut the "hello" out of the tag.

Next card is a card that took me a few days. It is from a magazine freebie stamp set.

There is quite a few Copics in this one.

Skin : E04, E11, E00, E000

V28, V25, V22

 Beards C4, C2, C0

Grass G94, G21

Gnome Green G24, G21, G40

Windows and roof Y17, YR21, Y32 T2

Sky BG000

Wood E39, E37, E35, E33

Mushroom W3, W1, W00

I coloured these with the Uniquely Creative Uniqolour pens. I labeled each one starting left to right when you first open the packet. I can tell you the numbers I used but, of course this is my labeling not theirs.

Blues I used 5, 22, 20 but it is just a range of blues

Centres 14, 12 (browns)

Greens 3, 4

Splattered with some black paint.

Lucky last for the day:

I coloured this one quite a while ago but never finished her off.

I masked out the dress and using a stencil by Couture Creation I applied texture gel and then sprinkled glitter over the top and graduated it up the dress. The stamp is an older Paper Rose stamp set but you can use this for any pretty dress girl.

Copics used

Skin E04, E11, E00, E000

Lips R20

Hair E37, E35, E33, E31

Ground W3, W1, W00

sky BG0000

Trim T3, YR21, YR01

I hope you have enjoyed
