Dew Drops

Evening all. Over at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends FB Group this week we are being sponsored by the fabulous Make it Crafty and if you are a member of the group there is a fabulous discount to be had.

We were really lucky to get to play with a fabulous image and I’ve coloured up the digital image Hello Flower Arrangement:

As an added challenge we have coloured some water drops on our images.

But my practice drops were better as I foolishly printed my image a little on the small side so it didn’t give me enough room to get as much detail/shading as I would have liked.

Supplies:

• Image: Hello Flower Arrangement from Make it Crafty 
• Colouring Medium: Copics 
• Card: Kraft Card, Matt Red Mirror Card, White Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Embellishments: Doodling, Lace and Pearl Trim

Pretty in Purple

Afternoon all. Have any of you been watching the Hochanda shows with Sheena Douglass and the new AquaTint pens? There is one more show on Hochanda tonight at 5pm but you can watch the other shows on the Hochanda website.

These pens are very similar to the Sparkle Pens, but with out the shimmer! I love the fabulous bristle/brush tip and the colours are divine.

Here is a card I have made using the pens and a lovely Sheena Stamp:

I have used a couple of fab techniques on this card. Using the colour with Glycerine on a blending foam to ink all the layers (and embossing) and a panel made with the colour and salt which gives an amazing effect.

Supplies:

• Rubber Stamp: Sheena Douglass ‘Born to be Wild’ A Little Bit Sketchy from Crafters Companion 
• Colouring Medium: AquaTint Pens 
• Card: Kraft Card, Watercolour Card, Sheena’s Stamping Card and Centura Pearl Fresh White Card  
• Misc: Vellum, White Embossing Powder, Archival Jet Black Ink Pad and Salt
