Poinsettia Bouquet - Make it Crafty



Hi all :)

I'm popping in to share my latest Christmas card featuring the NEW Poinsettia Bouquet digital image from Make it Crafty.

It's such an elegant image I decided to keep in Clean And Simple.



I have coloured the Poinsettia with Copic Markers

Petals - R24, 27, 89

Leaves & Ferns - G46, 28

I used a white gel pen for some highlights.

I used B02, an aqua pen with colorless blender and a piece of acetate to do the 'watercolour' effect around the image.

I coloured the chipboard words with R27 and G28 then lacquered them with glossy accents.

I'm planning on making all my Christmas Tags using this image so I'll pop back in to show you when I have them finished.

Thanks for stopping by

Christmassy Abigail - Make it Crafty



Hello everyone,

I'm here today with a Christmas card I made using the gorgeous 'Abigail' who isn't specifically a Christmas image but she's very versatile don't you think. I teamed her up with a 'Merry' single layered chipboard word and a 'Christmas' stamp from the Fairy Tag Tops unmounted rubber stamp set. I'm pretty happy with the end card, I hope you like it.



Coloured with Copic Markers -                                        Abigail

Skin - E000, 00, 01, 11, 04
Hair - Y21, E50, 51, 53, 55, 57
Dress - G21, 24, 43, 46, R02, 08, 24, 27, 89, White Gel Pen & White pencil on the Apron.
Boots - N9, 7, 5, Y21, 26, 28.

I painted the base of the 'Merry Chipboard word' with white paint then used R27 Copic Marker on the top layer and applied a coat of Glossy Accents on top. I stamped the 'Christmas' word with White pigment ink on red card stock then embossed it with white embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by

Sparkle Matilda - Make it Crafty Challenge.



Hello all, It's challenge time again :) this months challenge is 'Sparkle' and yes it is challenging but that's what its all about, I'm not entirely happy with my results but I gave it a good try and next time I'll be better at it. It's also very hard to 'capture' sparkle with a photograph, my card 'sparkles' much more in real life!
Although I made this card for the challenge I also made it for a very special young ladies 21st birthday, Matilda looks so much like her.



Skin - E000, 00, 01, 11, 04

Eyes - B41, 45, 60, 63

Hair - E51, 53, 35, 37, 07

Boa - N4, 6, 8, 10

Glass/Drink - C0, 2, B000, YG93, 97

Jewelry - Y11, A1205, Spica 16 - Buttermilk

Dress - R39, 59, 89, Spica 21 - Lipstick & 22 - Garnet, White Gel Pen.

I would recommend watching some Maxx Stephen Youtube clips for inspiration for the challenge, here's a link - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfVk6lTTcX6FPHRaqajE6AA 

Looking forward to seeing your entries

Hugs
