Little duckling

Today is Outlawz Sketch day!  This month we're sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls and I got to use the adorable Avery in Rain Poncho, you can find it here.

I've coloured the image with Copics in bright blue and yellow.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.

My design papers are from First Edition and Joy Craft

There are four golden gems and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley to finish off.

Thanks for popping by for a look today, we hope to see you at the challenge.

Mummified.....

So playing around with gnome images for Halloween.  I couldn't work out how to skeletonise one of them but thought about how I could mummify one :)

I love how this turned out, you can find Trick or Treat in the shop here where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I printed the sentiment at the same time as the image, then went to work with my Copics.  I thought about using purple as well but decided to keep it to earthy colours.

Just a simple card today using a die cut to get the angled design papers from Lili of the Valley and Joy Crafts.  I thought about adding some dots but then changed my mind and doodled some bats and a spider instead :)

Pastel Single Layer

It's time for our second lot of new release inspiration at All Dressed Up.

I'm using Fairy Butterfly Wings this time, you can find her here.  It's been a while since I did a true pastel card.  I find it challenging with my Copics because the colours can be very vibrant.

So colouring this up I knew I wanted a pink dress but had to play around with my other colours to find something suitably delicate.

The sentiment was created and printed at the the same time as the image.  I knew I'd be in a rush to make this one so I've done a single layer card and just scattered some embossing enamel on for some magic sparkle!

You can see more new release inspiration in the Facebook Group and on the challenge blog today

Cute Little Witch

Half way through the month already and time for another sketch challenge at Outlawz.  We're sponsored this month by Papernest Dolls.

I'm using Witch Ellie Riding Broom for my inspiration, you can find it here.

The image has been coloured with Copics, I've then fussy cut her to go on the card.

This is our sketch for the next two weeks.

I've used black card, and design papers from Lili of the Valley and First Edition.

Only three black heart gems as an embellishment to finish off the card today.

Happy Autumn

 

The trees are starting to turn here in the UK, so I've chosen to use My Besties Fall Day Leaf Party for my Guest Designer inspiration card at Rabisco challenge this time.

I've coloured the image with Copics trying to get as much variation of autumn colours into the leaves as I could.

Just creating a simple CAS card to showcase the image, I've used a Happy sentiment because that's what she looks like, some orange enamel dots and some design paper from First Edition.

Thanks for popping by for a look today and thanks to Rabisco challenge for having me

Dragon Training

I'm honoured today to share my card with you for my guest designer spot with The Dream Factory :)

Their film there this time is "How to Train Your Dragon".  So I've done a sleeping dragon for my inspiration, because rest is just as important as training and play!

I've combined two of my images Morpheus and Daisy Panel and printed them large to be to focus of the card.  The images were coloured with Copics.

A scatter of embossing enamel and a sentiment, "Living the Life" is made up from Tim Holtz stickers.

Magical

Today is new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.

I'm using Prima Ballerina, you can fund her here in Wendy's shop.

She's been coloured with Copics in pastels and then fussy cut for the tag.

You can see a tine sticker "magical" here.  This is one of Tim Holtz's stickers.

Showing a little on the effect of the flower here in an angled view of the tag.

Here we have a mixture of papers flowers and a couple of pins.

The tag was cut with a die and I've hand cut some glitter paper to leave a border.  On top of the glitter paper I glued some lace (and yes it took me ages because the lace kept sticking to my fingers and I kept pulling it off!)

Here's another angled shot so you can see more of the flowers.

I've finished off with a few silver dragonfly charms and then added a mixture of ribbons.

We also have some more new release inspiration in the Facebook group and on the challenge blog.
