Eat, Drink and Be Scary

Hello!

Question?: Why can you never trust spiders? 
Answer: Because they post stuff on the web. (hee hee)

Today I am "posting on the web" my weekly blog post over at Art Impressions. I made this adorable Halloween card using the Be Scary Set (SKU 4521). I think she is super cute and it was so fun to colour her up with my Copic markers. I used some glossy accents on the spider eyes and Stickles on the pumpkin to add some fun elements to this card.



Copics Used:
 Face: E00, E11, R20, RV17
Spider body: W1, W3, W5, W7
Pumpkin: YR12, YR14, YR16
Shadow W0, W1

Head on over to the Art Impression online store and see all the other Halloween 2014 images, they are super cute!

Birthday Wishes!

Hi Everyone!

Today I decided to play around with some stamps that I have from C.C. Designs. I decided to use the Tickled Pink Birthday Cherrie Stamp and a sentiment from the AmyR Be Happy Sentiments set. This image is absolutely adorable and I loved colouring her up with my copic markers!
                                                                        


  • I chose papers from the Dovecraft Tea party 8x8 paper pad collection and matched it with card stock from my stash.
  • next I stamped my image on Copic Xpress-it paper and then coloured in my image with Copic Sketch Markers
  • I cut my base layer (violet card stock) at 6 1/2 x 5", Middle layer (moss green) at 6 1/4 x 4 3/4" and the patterned paper layer at 6 1/8 x 4 5/8" 
  • I cut a second patterned piece to use with the border punch at 2 x 4 3/4", and a green piece to layer that with at 2 1/8 x 4 3/4"
  • ink all the edges of all your papers using Tim Holtz Distress ink in Antique Linen
  • using the border punch I cut 2 strips of the border pattern to add to either side of the smaller patterned paper layer.
  • Glue all your paper layers together and attach to a pre-mad 6.5 x 5" card base
  • Adhere a piece of ribbon to the left hand side of your card. Add a bow ( I use Bow-Easy to make my bows)
  • Using foam squares pop up the cut out image and sentiment onto your card to add dimension
  • I then used glossy accents on the whites of the balloons and Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the green parts of the present, her collar and hair bands
