Wedding Cards

Hi there, sorry things have been quiet here . . . we lost our internet for a few days (felt like my arms and legs were cut off, but I digress!!).

We ended up having to buy a new router.  It seems we are back online, but for some reason my computer still has some issues, but whilst I can get onto the internet, I thought I’d share some of what I have been up too :)

I was asked by a friend to make a wedding card, so I thought I’d have a go at ‘Colouring White’.  I am pretty happy with how these cards turned out.

What do you think?

Copic Colours used:

Face: E50, E51, E53, R20 & White gel pen on cheeks

Dress, Shirt & Pants: W1, W3, W5

Shoes: C1, C3, C5, C7

Hair: E33, E35, E37

Flowers: YG00, YG03, R32, R35, R37

Buttermilk Spica Pen used on lace and dots around hair and flowers.

Silver Spica Pen used on lace and dots around hair and flowers.

 

At first I thought I liked the totally ‘white’ one, but now I am not so sure.  They change when the cards are all finished.

If you ever see anything you like, and would like to purchase a card, leave me a message here, and I’ll contact you and organise how to get them to you.   I am also happy to make cards to order :)

If you live locally, you can also purchase the cards from Jigsaw Hair Studio in Drouin.  There should be supplies of my cards there starting early next week.

If you need a haircut, it is a great place to go :)

I am off to work night duty at the hospital tonight, so I had better go and get myself organised!

Until next time

I have decided to play along . . .

Anyway . . . here is my entry . . . what do you think? I'd love you to leave a comment.


I just love these Magnolia stamps.  This one is two stamps, and I used the masking technique to make my Tilda look like she is sitting on the bench . . . cool hey!
I am also really enjoying using the feathering technique to blend two different colours.  I have done this again on her dress.  Here is a close up . . .

What a great weekend

Hi all, I have just returned from a great weekend away with the ladies and customers from Scrap2Relax. Thanks Karen, for organising such a great weekend, you are amazing.
I had so much fun playing with my copic markers and magnolia stamps, I thought I’d share some of my favourites here with you.

I love this Chinese Tilda stamp . . . doesn’t she look cute, all coloured in pink and greens.


   This Berry Tilda has been coloured with greens & blues, using the ‘feathering’ technique that I learnt at the Copic Training I went to last month.
It is not an easy technique, but I really love the effect that you get when it is done well.
Paper from the Hippy Girl, Kaisercraft range.







Shopping Tilda, coloured in purples, along with some other cards I made with the left over papers.  Papers from the BoBunny Range.


This card has been made with the Spellbinders Flower dies.
  The flower dies were inked with Brilliance in before they were cut and embossed.
The leaf dies were inked before and after they were cut and embossed.
The background paper was embossed with the cuttlebug dots folder.



If you want to see some more, then you can check out this album . .

Like a Woman possessed!!

I am LOVING these Copic Markers . . . I can not stop colouring in!
I am also spending lots of time searching the internet for ‘digital stamps’ . . . I didn’t even know that these existed until yesterday :)
Here are some great sites I found if you are interested . . .
Meljen's Designs
Whimsy Stamps
Cuddly Buddly Crafts
Fred, She Said Designs
Anyway, after lots of searching, and discovering some lovely freebies on these sites, I spent the afternoon colouring in!
Here is what I did . . .
Donkey Smiles, from Meljen's Freebies


Flowerpot Daffodils, from Fred, She Said Designs Freebie

Flowervase from … oops … can’t remember where I got it.  As soon as I find out/remember, I’ll link to this post.  Sorry if it is yours, let me know and I’ll sort it out.

Once I had finished all the colouring in, I turned them all into cards :)
Donkey Cards . . .


Daffodil Flowerpot Cards . . .


Flowervase Cards . . .


I am still waiting for the stickles on the Flower Doodle Cards to dry, so I can’t scan them just yet!  I’ll post them for you tomorrow.
I hope you are enjoying seeing the Copic Created Cards, as much as I am enjoying doing them.
Get yourself down to Scrap2Relax, or check out the website, and get yourself some Copics to play with.
Until Next Time,

I LOVE Copic Markers!

So, I was going to post some of the scrapbook pages I have done in the last week or so, but I have something sooooo much more exciting to share with you :)
I have just started playing with the Copic Markers . . . and lets me just say . . . I LOVE them!!
I started out with 6 markers on Saturday . . . went back to Scrap2Relax yesterday and bought 14 more.
I coloured most of last night, read LOTS of stuff on the internet, and I HAVE to drop back into Scrap2Relax this afternoon for some MORE!!
They are so easy to use, they colour beautifully, and even I (who has no artistic/drawing skill) can blend the colours and get some shading look in my pictures. (Now I need more stamps that I can colour!).
Here are my first attempts . . .

I have enlarged some of my favourites for you . . .
Please note: In real life the blending is MUCH smoother, than in the scanned images.
All Stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I will be doing a Copic Instructors Certification at the end of August, which I am really looking forward to.
I hope you will join me for some classes in September/October. We’ll let you know the dates when the time gets closer :)
OK, I was going to scrapbook today . . . but I can hear the pens calling me to do some more colouring in!!
Happy Colouring!!
