Christmas In September!

Hi Folks

I'm here to show you my first Christmas Card of 2019! I love this whimsical image.

I've gone for traditional Christmas colours to ease me in.

It's a very basic shape card but really effective when decorated with our bits and bobs!

Craft stuff you might need or similar:

Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens: DR7, DR4, DR2, BGR1

Stamp: Magnolia Stamps Telephone Box

Other products: Crafters Companion Centura Darks Card Pack, Neenah Classic Stamping Card, Petal Lu Flowers, papers from stash.

Flowers in my hair

Hi folks!

I am here today to show you my design team work using the new Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.

I am very impressed. I did no practice run, I didn't have time. I just ripped open the box, printed my Digi image off and went straight in. Even I was staggered at just how amazing they were.

Here is what I created.

Colours:

Skin: FS6, FS7, FS8 (TN7 not core) swap out TN7 for EB2 which is core

Poppies: DR7, DR4, DR2, CR5, CR7

Blouse: BGR1, BGR3

Other Products: Neenah Stamping Card, Centura Silver Card, Petal Lu flowers

Stamp: Digi stamp A Day for Daisies

These colours are from the Core set that has just been released. I highly recommend this set as your starter pack if you just want to see how they feel, how the colours blend and to check out the new ink formula.

Add a little Sparkle to your day!

Hi Folks

Back again to share today's little card. Its a happy and bright one!

I've been going through my growing collection of coloured images that haven't made it to a card yet. I usually do these images whilst on holiday. I always take my pens and images with me but of course there is never enough room in the car for actual card making things too lol!

My stash of cards is depleting quickly so I thought I'd better go through things and make a few quick ones.

Ingredients;

Digi Image - Bugaboo Unicorn Chibi

Paper Mill Card Stock for the base of card

Papers - from stash

Flower embellishments - Petal Lu (Etsy)

Sentiments - Bugaboo

Dies - Tonic Studio Victorian Frame

Copic Colours;

Skin: E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R32, R20

Good question! I coloured this about 2 years ago and can't find the piece of paper with the details on it! (I do usually record colours - it'll turn up I'm sure and when it does, I'll update the post)
