2nd Entry for Copic Marker Europe's 1st Birthday

Yes, lots of posts from me today, I guess I'm finally getting finished after a flurry of colouring on the weekend!

Copic Marker Europe is turning 1 and they are having a month long celebration.  

See my earlier post using the Saturated Canary image drawn by Krista Smith.  Here is the gorgeously cute Wee Stamps image by Sylvia Zet.  She is such a darling.

Isn't she cute!  I decided that she said happy birthday all by herself with that fabulous cake and candle so I've left the sentiment off.

I've used two Cheery Lynne heart dies. and as I cut the image out, the little circles that Sylvia had drawn are now pearls!

Copics used here.

Skin:  E0000; E00; E01; E93

Hair:  E50; E11; E15

Jumpsuit:  R81; 83; 85 YR28

Cake: E51; 53 R81; 83; 85 Baby Pink spica

Another entry for Make it Monday too!  -

Sweet Baby!

UPDATE!   I made the top 3 in the Weekly Spotlight at Cheery Lynne Designs Challenge!  Wooooo Hoooooo.  Thank you DT at Cherry Lynne Designs

 

Hello, Welcome to my new followers, thank you for choosing to follow my blog.

Two posts in one day!  Not all that unusual for me when the mojo is bubbling away, and that's what is happening for me right now.  I had a commission from one of the girls at work for some Baby cards and this is what I did for her for the boy card she needed.

I just picked up the Heart to Heart set of dies from Cheery Lynne Designs and decided that it was perfect for this card.  I LOVE all the little cut out hearts you end up with.  I made 3 little 'faux brads' from them by adding a coat of crystal effects once they were glued into place.

This cute image is Cuddle Cloud Baby from Meljens Designs and it was too easy to colour up.  I think I'll do a girl card the same.  I don't usually double up, but this card turned out so lovely that I think I will make an exception.

This final photo shows the glimmer that I added by painting the white behind the hearts lace with smooch!  My camera never does shimmer or glitter well.  I also added some glitter by covering the stars on the image with Ice Stickles.  The hearts on the image were covered in Crystal Effects too so they shine.

Copics used.

On the Edge!

Hello Friday Mashup fans, Kasey here, I am both excited and a little bit sad, this week marks the end of my term on the Friday Mashup Design Team.  I'm finishing on a week where it is my turn to bring you the challenge and I want you to be On the Edge!  Yes that's right, have a decorative edge on your project and mash it up by using ribbons and bows.    

Such a fabulous picture that Justin and Mary gave Holly permission to use for our challenge graphic this week. 

I have to thank Holly for taking me on to her team, firstly as a Guest Designer and then as a permanent member of the team.  My very first DT gig!  I've had such a wonderful time working with these talented crafters.  I've also seen some amazing creations from you, our followers and participants, in our weekly challenges.  

Welcome to the new Friday Mashup DT members, I am sure they are going to be bringing you some amazing projects to inspire and challenge you. I'll still be around on blog land and I'm working on three other DTs, I'll even stop by the Friday Mashup now and then to play along!

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a project " with a Decorative Edge! "
2. Or Make a project with " Ribbon and or a Bow. "
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project " with a Decorative Edge & Ribbon ". 
   

 Can't wait to see your edgy creations, here's mine!

 This is Adele and she appears to be lost in thought so I had to use this sentiment.  I love the way she turned out, she has this soft almost ethereal appearance to her, or perhaps that's just the look on her face.

Coloured with Copics


E11, E15, E19 & E50 for her hair  
E50, E51, E53 for her skin.  
I think I used YG41 and YG45 for her shirt (but my memory can't be relied on)


Doily, butterflies and this gorgeous flourish are all from Cheery Lynne.  The butterfly border is a round the page punch set from Martha Stewart 
Beautiful metal butterfly is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the satin ribbon is from my stash and I've added some Kaisercraft pearls.

Hope you're inspired to get On the Edge this week and don't forget to add those ribbons and bows!  Check out the amazing Friday Mashup DT inspiration.

I'm also adding this one to Make it Monday

Cheers,

Sweet Purple Aleisha

I finally put an order in for some Make it Crafty digi's and I have to say, I love them, they are such a pleasure to colour, all that flowing hair!

Here is Aleisha, a study in purple, I've surrounded her with some gorgeous flowers, my order from Wild Orchid Crafts arrived, and I now have lots and lots of tiny roses, I think I'll need to order some slightly larger ones too.  The large purple rose totally gorgeous, I can't remember where I got that one from I've sprayed it with a mix of Pearl-ex powder in rubbing alcohol, I sprayed two smaller rosebud too.

  I've layered Aleisha on a Cheery Lynne doily die and then cut a fanciful flourish and a small butterfly in SU Concord Crush.

She's been coloured with Copic markers and this is my first attempt at doing the platinum blonde hair.  I've used E40 and E42 and 0 to do her hair along with some clear spica to add some shine.

Hope you like my Aleisha and the study in purples, my all time favourite colour!

Entering this into the challenge at Cheery Lynne Designs
