Copic Colour Challenge - #10

Over at Copic Colour Challenge the colours chosen for this week are :

I only have one of these colours and the closest I can get to B02 was B00 and B05, and the closest I could get to RV34 was RV29... However, I enjoyed using B39 and trying to get some shade to it! What a challenge! Here we have a Sugar Nellie stamp by Elizabeth Bell, called 'Flowers' bought from Funky Kits

I decided to use the dark for her Jeans/Trousers and her Hat, because everywhere I go I see these stamps coloured with light blue jeans or a completely different colour altogether. Soooo Dark Jeans it was today for this young lady!

I used my stars corner punch for the two corners, and mounted onto dark blue leatherette style card I had in my scrap box

The flowers and brad are from my stash and the dangly gem I made using an eye pin and spacer beads I bought from e-bay

The blue fibre was also in my scrap box and I have no idea where I bought it from, but I am pleased that I could use it!

The sentiment is from my Penny Black Salutations set

Other papers used are from the Once Upon a Time Mat Stack by DCWV

I'm not completely sure I like this card, what I am sure of is that I will find a good home for it to go to!

Something a bit new to me! - Stamptactular Challenge Number 3

Over at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog- the challenge was Black and White + ONE other colour! SOoooooo I chose Yellow. I had a canvas lying around (I think its 20x8 inches). I got my trusty old Acrylic paints out, splashed a blob of black on a plate and covered the lot. Not the plate that is, the canvas I covered hehe...I printed off some photos of my baby girl Poppy who will be 8months at the end of the month, and layered her onto black glitter card and plain white card both from my stash...

I then set about stamping out these cute little fellas - Elvin, Egbert and Trump. These cute chaps can be found at Bearly Mine Designs Shop - But you have to be quick. Donna put a post on there and she only as 10 sets left. When they're gone, they're gone!




So I inked up the Elves from Lumas Thorn (there is a really good story unravelling over at the Lumas Thorn Blog too if you're interested!) using my Memento Black Tuxedo Ink.

Egbert

Trump

Elvin

Coloured them using my copics.


I got out my bead kit and used some silver wire and twisted it around a pen and then attatched this silver star charm I bought on e-bay

I coloured my Papermania white flowers Black and Yellow and using Brads from my stash secured them on to the canvas.

The gem hanging from this flower was also from E-bay, the chain was an old fashion necklace I had lying around.

The smaller flowers are from my punches, half pearls from stash

In all this project took me about 3 hours to do and most of that was drying time of paint and glue.

New Challenge Blog Launch - Just Magnolia! Challenge One!

Just Magnolia Challenge Blog went 'LIVE' on Friday morning at 8am. I was tucked up in bed, nice and snug. I woke up and as soon as the PC was switched on I went to the blog. The first challenge is a Sketch by Donalda, and a lovely sketch at that!

Sooooo, I hear you ask why has it taken me nearly 48 hours to make a card? I answer you and say "I was all crafted out". I've only been back into crafting just over a month and well, this past week I've made several cards, and I believe my other half and baby were being neglected. So I had a break yesterday and most of Saturday, I should be tucked up in bed now seeing as it is 02:25am *shock*

Anyways - I digress... Here is the lovely Tilda -

Coloured with Copic Ciaos

Ribbon was a freebie with a magazine

Papers are K&Co Wild Saffron and Roam collections

Silk flowers from Papermania - again coloured with Copics as I has no deep purple/blue flowers
Brads from stash

Hanging chain and heart from an old fashion necklace I cut up, little 'made for you' charm from e-bay

Sentiment is an old stamp I had lying around - I have no idea where it is from though, but thought it would suit this wee Tilda as she is so versatile.

Right - Now with that said - I think I am going to go to bed!

Night Night xx

I found a new Challenge Blog today :o) 'Creative Card Crew' and I couldnt stop by and not enter thier current challenge! Not only do they have a Stamp on offer for the winner, but also a 6 MONTH SPOT to be on thier DESIGN TEAM - how cool is that.. Even getting second prize would be great which is a 2 WEEK SPOT on thier Design team! Amazing or what?? Having already played around with a black and white card today, and having enjoyed it, I though why not give this one ago too! So let the madness, or should that me Monochrome Madness begin....

Ok - Rules - Black, White, Grey/Silver - Easy peasy... NOT!! I struggled with the other card, but not as much as this one as I had to use a different stamp, papers, etc...But I think I succeeded!

Using Gorjuss Girl 'Foxy', I have coloured her in with Copic Ciao Pens.

I have used Papers from DCWV Black and White stack

Black and White card from Stash

Flowers I believe are Papermania silk set, which I have coloured with Copic pens as I didnt have any Grey or Black flowers. The brad is from Papermania too.

Soooo - Two, sorry three cards today .. I think I need a lie down.. My my my ... look at the time. Its gone 1am. I better get my head down, I have an early riser who like to be up, fed and watered by 9am...
