2 Cool

Hello - Its time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Winter. 
I found it difficult to do WINTER without slipping into Christmas, so I have used an image called Snowboarder Girl and gone with nontraditional colours of Bright Orange and Turquoise.

I have used papers and chipboard from My Minds Eye Colourful Christmas range. I  mounted all the paper panels on co-ordinating panels of satin card and added some gems to the centre of the snowflakes.

I die cut around the image using a large stitched circle die from Lawn Fawn and over the top of this I used some Amy Tangerine Remarks letter stickers to spell out 2 Cool.

I coloured the image with these promarkers & flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice
Hair - Pink Mittens, Baby Pink, Cocktail Pink & Carmine.
Jacket - Gold, Orange, Bright Orange.
Trousers - Pastel Green, Oasis, Island Lagoon.
Boots - Powder Blue, Sky Blue, True Blue, Azure & Egyptian Blue.

And don't forget you get a fantasic prize if you are picked at ramdom when you enter your creations into The Paper Shelter Challenge !

Hope to see loads of entries!
Thanks for stopping by,

Little Skater

There is a new challenge over at I love Promarkers and the theme this week is Winter. - A really easy theme at this time of year - so I expect you all to join in!! 
I loved colouring up this image from All dressed up called Little Skater.  Think I am slightly obsessed with these images at the minute!!

I actually forgot I had these lovely Filigree card bases from DoCrafts which I bought from Hobbycraft. I glued some Bo Bunny paper  from the Winter Joy collection behind the cut away card and used the colours in the paper to match up the promarkers. I die cut the image using my Friskars circle cutter and mounted it on to silver Mirri card. I used some star dust stickles to make her skirt and the ground shimmer a little, along with some gems stuck into the middle of the snowflakes. Finally I added a round Craftwork Cards Christmas greeting and a small Snowflake which was die cut from the silver mirri card using a die from My Favourite things


I used these Promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the Little Skater - 
Ear Muffs & Skirt - Blue pearl & Bluebell
Scarf - Aquamarine & Oasis
Jumper - Pale Citrus, Lime Zest & Pear Green. 
Hair - Satin, Terracotta, Burnt Sienna & Walnut.
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush & Antique white - Baby pink cheeks.
Ground - Powder Blue.
