All Dressed Up Copic Challenge July 2019

It is the 1st July! It will soon be Christmas... (EEK -Should I have started making Christmas Cards??) So it does mean that there is a new challenge over at Copic UK and this months optional theme is to use An All Dressed Up Image... This is to celebrate the new Rubber stamps that have been released and are available from Crafteezee but these fabulous images are also available from the All Dressed Up Stamps store on Etsy (And there are also some freebies on the the All Dressed Up blog... #enabler!) 

Of course the theme is always an optional extra and we love to see any creation using copics so with all these mediums covered there really is no excuse to not join in for your chance to win a prize from our Faye.

I have played with this rubber stamp called Time to Shine. 
I used vellum over the base card and a star die cut with pink satin card. I covered the glass with glaze and sprinkled a little cosmic shimmer to give it a little sparkle.

 

I also made this card with the new rubber stamps and haven't shown this card yet. This image is called What to wear.

I used a greeting from Pebbles and added a couple of red gems to copy the gold dots. I also added some red ribbon.

Right that's all for now. I hope you get to join in the Copic challenge or the All dressed up blog challenge which is always an Anything goes theme as long as you use an All Dressed Up image.

Penguin friends

Morning - the new challemge starting today at The Paper Shelter is to make a Christmas card - easy right as we are all in the midst of christmas craftathon!! I have used this lovely image called Penguin Friends.

Ive used background paper from Doodlebug and I die cut an oval of velum to make her standout a bit more against the busy background. I cut a strip of snowflake embossed card and mounted it onto Red card and tied a striped ribbon in a bow. Finally I added the greeting which is from Crate Paper.

I used these promarkers and flex markers -
Skin - antique white, blush, soft peach, coral, spice & baby pink
hat - tan & linen
hair - cinnamon, raw sienna & Henna
Eyes - powder blue
poppy, ruby & burgundy
lime green, emerald & lush green

Im loving the traditional red & green combo!!

Enjoy crafting,

Santa Selfie

Morning - I have been busy making Christmas cards and today I am showing you one made with Santa Selfie.
One of the things I love most about Dr Digi image is that they are great for the Men in our lives. So often its hard to find images for the boys that are not too cute or stereotypical "Masculine"  like cars and sports. Dr Digi allows me to make humorous cards and at the mo I am loving the wood effect backgrounds and elements - which go perfectly with the Dr Digi guys.

The papers are from Simple Stories Snow days and I have die cut snowflakes from Vellum using Lawn Fawn dies. I have also added some wooden embellishments that are from Do Crafts (I think?)

I've included the next picture to show the shimmer and snowy effect I have tried to add using Sakura Glaze and Souffle pens along with Stickles and using Powder Blue Promarker to add shading. 

I have used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour Santa -
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral, Spice & Cocktail pink cheeks
Pants - Red, Poppy, Ruby & Cardinal red.
Shirt - Linen with gold buttons
Braces, Boots, Mobile & Hat - Warm Grey 1,2 4 & 5
Scarf - Lime Zest, Lime green & Pear green, Sky blue, arctic blue & indigo blue.
Stick arm - Sandstone, Burnt Umber & Cocoa
Snowman - Powder blue.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges -
Christmas cards all year - Santa
Gem of a challenge - Snowflake
Crafty Catz - Snowflakes.
Creative fingers - ATG
Unicorn challenge - Snowflakes

Thanks for popping in,

Phyllis the Festive Fairy.

Hello -  Todays post for Dr digi is using an image called Phyllis the festive fairy. I had every intention of making a christmas card but got carried away with all the pink and gold! But how versitile - shows how these images can be used for so many different occasions.

And I am definatly beginning to understand the concept of leaving white space on an image rather than swamping it full of colour!!

 

The paper is from My Minds Eye - My story collection and I love the gold foiling. I die cut some gold stars using a new star boarder die from Sunny Studio. I also die cut a big star using Nestibilities dies from EK Success Pixie dust vellum and I edged this with gold peel offs! The Greeting is also peel offs. Finally I used some diamond stickles on Phyllis' wings and some gold pen on her wand. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers - 

Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice. 

Hair - Warm greys 1, 2 & 3

Dress - Pink mittens, Baby pink & Carmine

Wings - Powder blue and cloud blue. 

I hope you like Phyllis  - she would like to enter these challenges - 

Ikes World - Things with wings

Inky Chicks - Fairies or wings

Lemon Shortbread - ATG

Shopping our stash - Fairies or angels.

All for now,

All dressed up GDT

Morning - Today I can post this card that I have made using All Dressed Up image called All Dressed up for Christmas.
I am honoured to be asked to be a Guest Design team member for these beautiful images, which you can purchase on Etsy (Just click on the link above.)

The base pattern paper is from Websters Pages All that Glitters collection. I used gold mirri card to cut the Merry Christmas greeting using a Lawn Fawn die cut and glued it to some co-ordinating ribbon. I also used the gold card to mount the image - both of which I cut using the Friskars cutter. I cut the banner from Dear Lizzy Foiled vellum - I actually put white behind this so the pattern of the base card didn't show through. Once I had coloured the tree, I used petal pink Liquid Pearls on the baubles and Gold Pen on the ribbon and stars. Finally I added Diamond stickles to the wings and skirt to make them sparkle and some Gold peel off corners. 

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush & Antique White.
Hair - Satin, Terracotta, Burnt Sienna, Walnut & Raw Sienna.
Skirt & Present - Pale pink, Baby pink & Cocktail Pink.
Tree, Wings & Present - Honeydew & Pastel Green.
Tree trunk - Raw Sienna & Walnut.

I hope you like her ... I'm really pleased with her sparkle!

Spells for beginners.

Morning All, its Wednesday so its time for a new challenge over at I Love Promarkers.
This weeks theme is ANYTHING GOES so no excuses not to play along and even better you could win some Dr Digi images - which you all know I love!

 

The image I've used is called Spells for Beginners. I was inspired to use the Kraft and gold from the Tag You're it challenge and, somewhat unusually for me, I have used quite muted and pastel tones.

The Gold velum is from Allison Kreft and both the Dotty and striped papers in the pale pink and grey are from My Minds Eye Chalk Studio. I used a sizzix tag die to cut both the papers and then used a diamante brad to hold the Green chevron ribbon in place.
I have used a rub on greeting to say Happy Birthday which is from Pebbles. The other touches of gold are a thin washi tape which I bought from Hobbycraft.
To add a little bit more detail - I put some glaze on the ball at the top of his staff which I then sprinkled with Cosmic shimmer to make it glisten. I also used a little gold pen to add shine to his spell book.

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Beard -  Warm Greys
Eyes - Frozen Lake
Book & Ball - Aniseed, Lime Zest & Pear Green
Belt & Hat detail - Cerise, Baby pink & Antique Pink. 
Cloak & Staff - Tan, March Hare & Raw Sienna
