Card Patterns Sketch 81

I found this wonderful blog the other day, with Card Patterns, and a weekly competition that you can enter.
I have decided to play along . . .
Here is this weeks sketch . . .

Click on the sketch, or go to Card Patterns to check out how to enter your own card.  There is a great prize up for grabs from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps for one lucky winner.
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 . . .


For those of you that are interested, the Copic Colours used in this card are:

Face: E00, E02, R20 (for cheeks)
Dress & Socks: G00, B00 (blended by feathering)
Collar & Underskirt: YR04, YR07
Flower: RV10, RV23, YR7
Hair: E33, E35, E57
Bench: E35, E37, E57, 100

The card was made using:
Papers: Kaisercraft Hippy Girl Collection
Doily: sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Foerst Green
Inked Paper Edges: Versamagic Aquatic Splash
Sentiment: Studio G Dollar Stamps
Miscellaneous Brads and flowers.

Have a great day.
I have some more cards to upload for you later :)
Cheers

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


Floral doodle design 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!!

Some Completed Layouts

Wow!  Not only have I done some scrapbooking in the past week or so, I have done traditional paper scrapping to boot!!
It has taken me a few days to take the photos and upload them here . . . but here they are :)
My Crazy horse!!

And . . .
My gorgeous Dogs . . . who are great Buddies :)

I completed these at a fabulously fun scrapping night I had a week ago with the Design Team from Scrap to Relax, in Drouin.
Whilst we were there, we planned some great scrapping workshops for you.  Check out the website (follow the link above) and give Karen a call to register for the Scrapbook Sketch Workshop in July, date TBA :)
I have done some of the layouts for you to look at for this workshop already, and I know the other girls are working on theirs.
If you want to see them . . . you have to come along to the workshop!!
Until Next time,
Happy Scrapping

What have I been up to??

I am sorry it has taken so long to update my blog, but between work, I have been busy playing . . . so I do have some things to share :)
Firstly, I made this for a girlfriend who is getting married next year . . . I thought she needed something to plan her wedding in :)


Secondly, I made this for my scrapbook desk . . . in my favourite colours . . . pink of course.  I LOVE this new paper from the BoBunny Range - it is called Sophia. My new favourite :)
 

Finally, these were made for some of my special friends :)
The A’s . . . are for Amy . . . Matt’s girlfriend.  I gave them to her tonight.  I think she liked them!

I wonder who these C’s are for????  I guess someone will just have to wait until it arrives in their mailbox, won’t they!!

I hope you enjoyed what I had to share :)
Until next time . . .
