Soft Lines Curly Locks Kiki

Hiya it’s me again :0) This time I’d like to show you a card that I’ve made using a new technique that I’ve come across on Facebook. As I don’t have any light shades of Memento Ink, I thought that I’d try this technique out on a digi image.
DSCF1102

For my card I’ve used the gorgeous image ‘Curly Locks Kiki’ from Elisabeth Bell and I’ve coloured her using my ProMarkers, FlexMarkers and AquaMarkers.
Untitled-40

To achieve the no lines look on the above image, I set the transparency setting to 10% in Photoshop. It was quite daunting when I first started to colour as I had to really think about where the shadows would be. The was my first attempt at this and I’m quite pleased with the result and would love to know what you think (please be kind :0) )
The DP I created myself and is part of my Vintage Cottage collection which you can get from my Etsy shop.
The flowers I also created myself using my slice machine and other various dies.

Whiff of Joy Challenge DT Card

Hi there everyone and thanks for stopping by. Well today is Wednesday so that means we have a brand new challenge for you over at Whiff of Joy and this week we have a theme for you which is ‘Tag You’re It’ incorporate a tag somewhere on your project.

DSCF1096

For my project I decided to make a large tag from scratch. I just cut out a rectangle shape using cardboard and then cut the corners at an angle and then punch a hole in the centre using my Crop-a-Dile. Then I used the Whiff of Joy Hearts Lace Border die to cut out the shape at the bottom.

The image I’ve used is from the March Store Stamp Kit – Blooming Spring and I’ve coloured her using my Promarkers, FlexMarkers & AquaMarkers.

Untitled-40

The DP is Tim Holtz and I’ve distressed the edges and then inked them up using Brushed Corduroy.

The smaller tag I cut out using the Sweethearts Tag die from Whiff of Joy and I’ve added some pearls and lace to it. 

The sentiment is part of the March Store Stamp Kit and I’ve used the City Girl Shape die to cut it out.

The flowers I made myself using my slice machine and other various dies.

Untitled-39

I also want to let you know that the very lovely Nikki from Bunny Zoe Crafts has also started selling Whiff of Joy goodies and orders over £40.00 will qualify for FREE delivery to UK mainland addresses and Northern Ireland.

Myself and the rest of the DT at Passion for ProMarkers where very lucky to receive a sample pack of FlexMarkers each from Letraset and all I can say is I can’t wait for the release of the new pens. They not only have a brush tip, they work very well with the ProMarkers and blending is much quicker. Also which I’m very excited about is that there is very pale colours also.

Tickled Pink Preview Day 7 Spinks & Spooks Collection–Lil Haunts 2 Vampire Lestat

Good afternoon to you all and welcome to day 7 of the Lil Haunts previews from Tickled Pink. Today I’d like to share with you a project that I’ve made using the Vampire Lestat image which has been illustrated by Christina Dee. This image along with 7 more Halloween images will be available from Tickled Pink from 15th August along with Ann’s wonderful Halloween sentiment set.

DSCF1083

When I saw this image I knew straight away that I was going to make a coffin Halloween treat box and I got the template from the Martha Stewart website.

I cut the box out using black cardstock and then around the edges I used Platinum Liquid Pearls to give a little design. I then made 4 holes and put pearl brads through them along with a bit of twine. I didn’t have red pearl brads so I just coloured them using my burgundy promarker pen.

The black roses I made myself using my slice machine and the brilliant sentiment is by the very talented Ann.

DSCF1089

Here’s another photo showing the inside of the treat box filled with some goodies.

Don't forget to stop by the Tickled Pink Stamps blog for more amazing previews and to comment for a chance to win some Halloween treats for yourself :0)
