Birthday Boy

Morning All. We are off for a few days holiday before the eldest munchkin has to go back to school  :-) And I’ve made sure to pack all the important things…..Copics, images to colour, pencils….lol!

Well Saturday morning I had to make a card for my Brother-In-Laws birthday and I decided to use the adorable Tiddly Inks Birthday Boy Image.

Well imagine how chuffed I was to find out Tiddly Inks are having another DT Call. I have tried before and wasn’t successful, but I love the images so I’ve just gotta have another try. I know the call was posted a few hours after I made my card so please let me know if it’s not ok to use it and I’ll happily make another card….after my holiday though!!!

I’m seem to be going through a Clean and Simple (ish) phase at the moment, bet hey that’s suits a card for a man pefectly.

I have combined the image with a digi sentiment from Make it Crafty before printing. Image has been coloured with Copics and just a few embellies…..but it was a big birthday this year so I had to squeeze the ‘50’ in there somewhere ;-)

Supplies:

• Image: Tiddly Inks Birthday Boy 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000 and R20
• Hair: E49, E39, E37, E35 and E33
• Shoes: Black, C7, C5, C3, and C1
• Ground: E25, E23 and E21
• The above is from memory as I have lost my list, when I find it I will update.

• DP: Basic Grey ‘Hey You’ 6x6 Paper Pad
• Card: Kraft card, Turquoise card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: MS Zig-Zag Border Punch, All Occassion Number dies and Sizzix Star Framelits
• Embellishments: Bakers Twine

Wishful Asha

Edited to add Copic colours now Mr Blogger is playing nicer (and I’ve found my list!)

Make it Crafty are having a Clean and Simple Design Team Call and I thought I would give it a try. I used the gorgeous Wishful Asha to make this card with a simple background.

Have a few more pictures to add to show how the background was done but blogger is really playing me up today and I can’t get the pictures to load. It’s taken me about an hour to get this to post and I know I’m cutting it fine already! The pictures have now been added below.

I wanted a light background but not completely plain. I really wanted to use the pattern from a heart embossing folder but not have the raised texture. So here is how I achieved it.

1. Place card inside embossing folder and rub with a heavy/sturdy object.
2. Open embossing folder (the pattern won’t show at this point). Sand all over to reveal the pattern.
3. Using a piece of Cut & Dry foam lightly rub with ink to highlight the pattern.
4. Finished result.

Supplies:

• Image: Wishful Asha from Make It Crafty
• Colouring Medium: Copics
  • Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000 and R20
  • Lips: E04, RV29, RV23 and RV10
  • Eyes: B29, B24 and B05
  • Hair: E49. E29, E27, E25 and E35
  • Dress:E15, E13, YR23, YR21 and YR20.
  • Socks and T-Shirt: BV20 and BV0000
  • Flowers and shoes: V09, BV08 and V04
  • Dandelion: E43 and E41
  • Butterfly: V12, RV10 and RV000
• Card: Kraft Card, White Linen Card, Lemon Core’dination Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Ink: VersaMagic ‘Thatched Straw’ Inkpad
• Dies, Punches and Embossing Folders: X-Cut Corner Rounder, Go Kreate Large Circle Dies and Sizzix Hearts Embossing Folder

Chloe with Lambs

Morning All. We all (even the children) had a lie in this morning, so we’ve only just finished a lazy morning including a very late breakfast!! I’m here to share my latest card for the new challenge at A Gem of a Challenge. The theme this time is ‘Spring is in the Air’ so what’s more spring like than baby lambs? I’ve used the super super cute Chloe with Lambs:

• Colouring Medium: Copics
• DP: Spring Drop from First Edition
• Card: Peach Core’dinations card and Copic X-Press

Pati’s Kisses

Happy Thursday Everyone! I’ve been busy making the most of the good weather we have in the UK, by working in the garden. My new vegetable patch is ready to start planting things in. I’m hoping all this fresh air will help my sinus infection as well……I’m still suffering at the moment :-( On the upside only a few more days and we are having a little Holiday…wooohoo I can’t wait!

Anyhoo I’m waffling (again!!). As I’ve made a few embellished cards and things recently I was itching to do a CAS card. This one uses the Pati’s Kisses Digi Stamp from Elisabeth Bell and I’ve coloured her with Copics. I’ve even remembered to note down the colours I’ve used (the list is below :-)):

I love the finished look of the ‘No-Lines’ technique but it sure does take me a lot longer to do (that and the fact I was getting distracted watching Gray’s Anatomy!!!).

Supplies:

• Image: Pati’s Kisses from Elisabeth Bell 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
  • Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000 and R20.
  • Hair: E29, E25, E23 and YR20.
  • Trousers: C7, BG09, BG49, BG15, BG13 and BG01.
  • Pink Clothes: R89, R85, R83 and R81.
  • Bear: E39, E37, E35 and E31.
  • Belt E29, E27, E25 and Y17.
• Sentiment: From a Pink Petticoat digi sheet
• Card: Turquoise card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: Fiskars 3in1 Heart Corner Punch and X-Cut Corner Rounder.
• Embellishments: Punched Hearts
