Mysterious Valentine

Hi everyone, I've got a little smash book page to show you today.  I've picked up some Prismacolour pencils and here what I came up with in my first play with them.  I used Ruby, a fabulous Make it Crafty image from the new masquerade range.  

Ruby comes with two different masks and you can use a program like paint.net or photoshop to put her mask on or like me you print it out and pop it up on top.  I cut tiny little holes to put the stem of the mask in her hand.

 This is the full page, I had this idea going round my head to make a fan, I have images from the movies of masquerade balls with gorgeous dresses, lace fans and glittering masks.  I used some textured pink butterfly paper that I've had for an age as it fit the theme perfectly.

The chipboard here is from Make it Crafty I love how delicate Zoe makes her chippies.  Gorgeous to work with and perfect for cards.  Here I've coloured the butterfly with BG13 and BG57 then coated it with clear spica pen, it's gone a very different colour with the spica over the top, it seems to have added more yellow.  still they do look so pretty.

The corners are painted with nail polish!  two coats of colour and one of clear to bring  out the shine just like you would paint your nails!  

I'm entering Ruby into the following challenges.

Our Creative Corner - Picture inspiration - Mask
Make it Monday - Anything Goes
Flutter By Wednesday - Anything Goes (butterfly or fairy)
In the Pink - Pink Valentine  (Valentine's are usually a mystery hence the mask)

Thanks for stopping by, it feels really good to be back creating for challenges again!

Rose Faerie Marci

Hi everyone,  I started colouring my new La La Land Rose Faerie Marci earlier in the week then I had to go out of town for work and today I managed to get some time for finishing the image and making a card.  This little Marci arrived in a parcel from Mad for Markers along with some other new release stamps and a few more copic markers.  RV91, 93, 95, 99 and I love the soft tones.

Rose Faerie Marci has been coloured with copic markers and spica pens and I've used some of my beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and metal corners, and of course Lily of the Valley sentiment.  I've used a fabulous Cheery Lynn die but not taken all of the punched out pieces out, so it's not as lacy as it usually is, I wanted more of a solid base for Marci. 

Copics used

Skin:  E000, E091, E11, R20

Cothers: RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99, YR12, YR31, Lemon and Clear spica

Wings and Roses: RV00, RV63, RV66, Clear spica

Hair: BG0000, BG11, BG53, BG57, BG72, BG75, Turquoise Spica

As is usually the case, when I'm not making DT cards, I just create and hope I can find a challenge or two to enter the card.  I was lucky and found Three!

In the Pink ~ Things with Wings

Cheery Lynn Designs ~ Doilies

Wild Orchid Crafts ~ Summer Flowers

Thanks for visiting, I hope you have time to let me know you stopped by, I love reading the comments my friends and visitors leave.

Can't resist those 50 Shades!

Hi all, I had to create another card for the 'In the Pink' challenge 50 Shades of....Pink!

I picked up some Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays and have been playing around with some backgrounds.  I also received this gorgeous 'It's My Party' stamp in the mail this week in my very first order from Lily of the Valley.  This is the only image, I splurged on their fabulous sentiments!

 The embossed background is a mix of light and dark pink Starburst sprays and then I embossed it with a Spellbinders embossing folder and sponged a little of SU Rose Red ink that's the same deep pink of the card.  I thought I'd use a little bit of black to offset all that pink.

This little tantrum thrower has been coloured with Copic markers and I love the way her skirt turned out.  it's got loads of ruffles on the image so I just dotted several pinks around as there was no way I was going to be able to get the shading right!

Skin:  E000, 01, 11, R20

Hair: E11, 13, 15

Dress:  E04; R81, 83, 85, 89

Shoes: E04 R85

Hope you like my second entry for In the Pink!

Oh those cheeky girls!

Yes that's right, Christine (Posh Priscilla) and Sylvia (aka Pretty Patricia) have started their new challenge site 'In the Pink' in a very cheeky way.  Fifty Shades of Pink, with veiled references to the racy trilogy by E L James.

I created this card a while back and have been waiting for just the right challenge to post her and this is certainly the one!  I'm not so sure what the 'Fifty Shades' connection is here, I could make a few suggestions but perhaps not in this timeslot!  So I'll just go with lots of different shades of Pink and leave it safely at that.

Close up of Telephone Marci, lots of RVs and Rs used here and spica pen too.  Lots of beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and bling and some Nesties.

 Here you can see the crystal lacquer on her telephone and glasses, to give lots of lovely shine.

 Another one of my all time favourite challenge sites is Make it Monday so TM is being entered there as well.

Copics used.

Skin:  E50; 51; 53; R11

Hair and clothes:  RV000; 02; 04; 06; 52; 63; 66; C1 

Silver, Pink and Blossom spica

Thanks for stopping in, if you've taken time out to leave me a comment, I do try to respond to them so stop back in a few days to read it if you like.
