Winter Wonderland

This week at Dilly Beans their challenge is Winter Wonderland. For this challenge I have used the Snow Family digi together with a Christmas Ornament digi that I got from TiddlyInks. I originally made this for Dillybeans challenge when the snow family was released but didn't have anything to use for the snow. At a local craft shop last weekend we discovered this awesome paint to use as snow (True Snow) so easy to apply, love it.

I coloured the image with my copics and am happy with the overall effect of the finished card.

Thanks for looking, have a wonderful day.

Christmas

Can you believe it Christmas is so close, this year has just flown.  I have made a start on my Christmas Cards some plain and some a bit fancy.  

Recently I discovered Dilly Bean Stamps new christmas range of digis.  Oh my how gorgeous are they you must check them out.  I have had a play and love the result and would put this card into the category of a bit fancy.  Without adieu here is Ruby's Candy Cane and Christmas Tree.

Thanks for looking have a wonderful day.

Dress Up Marci!

This card features the gorgeous Dress Up Marci.  How pretty is she.  I have used copics for the colouring and used cool greys for the shadows together with the blues.   I made this for a dear friend who recently celebrated her birthday.  I will also be entering it into the La La Land customer gallery for November.

Thanks for dropping by have yourself a fabulous day.

Rock On!

I have been having a play with merging digis and for this card I have used Kenny K's Groove Dude together with Make it Craftys new backgrounds Urban Elements and coloured with copics.   Must say I am very pleased with the result.

Thanks for looking and have yourself a great day.

New Techniques

I thought I would share some of the techniques we have been learning at Copics Class with Debra.  Since my last post I now have some more examples of techniques we  have learnt.

The first is monochromatic  with shine

Stamp - Motivet

Copics - W0,1,3,5,7 E93

The next technique we learnt was to use 1 colour and your blender , this was a bit daunting because if your blender is not juicy enough well what can I say it just won't work.  Here is my tag

Stamp -Digi Marci

Copics - YR 23 + blender

E00,21,33,37, 50 R20



I am quite happy with how this turned out, not bad for first try.   The next technique learnt was defining faces.  This one is hard and I am not sure that I have got it down pat yet but had a go and here is my tag using this.



Stamp - "Maggie" by Elaine Cox

Copics - E000,00, 11, 13 G21, R37 E51,53,35,37,R08 R000,00 RV000

Clear Spica

I am hoping to share some more samples shortly, still a work in progress.

Thanks for dropping in, have yourself a great day.

Playing with Copics

I just cannot believe where the time has gone this year, it has flown so fast.  I have been busy creating since my last post but havent got around to posting anything, very slack I know.

At the beginning of the year I joined a class of like minded ladies with the delightful and uber talented Debra James as our teacher and have been learning how to use my copic markers ,which I just love.  I look forward to our fortnightly get together to learn new techniques and partake in a tag swap using the technique we learnt from the previous class.

Here are my two tags from the first two classes:

Through copics I have discovered digital stamps which is very exciting and already have a collection of digi stamps that I have purchased along the way.  The great thing about digis is that you dont have to worry where you are going to find room to store them...lol. 

Looking forward to our next class this Saturday and will add photos of my other tags very soon.

Thanks for dropping bye, until next time
