Snow Glow

Our theme at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group this time is Hot or Cold colours.

I've decided to go cold by using Snowy Days for my inspiration, you can find it here in Wendy's shop.

I had my blues out so decided to do another night sky card, creating some snow glow, or at least that's what I was trying to do,

The image was coloured with Copics.

I've coloured the nose and beaks is orange to give the card a little pop of colour.

I also had embossing enamel out so I decided to make a snowy scene with it.

Don't forget All Dressed Up also has a challenge blog as well as the Facebook group.

Thanks for popping by today

A little batty

Our Blog Challenge has just gone live at SheepSki Designs, you can find it here.  The theme for this month is Autumn and / or Halloween.

I've not made Halloween cards for ages and seem to have got into them again :)

So I've decided to use a new image called Bit Batty for my inspiration.  It's here in the shop where you can get all images with 10% off by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout

The images has been coloured with Copics.  I sketched in the moon into the background so I could do one of my favourite night skies.

The Happy Halloween was printed at the same time as the image.  All I've added is some embossing enamel to add a little star light magic.

Little duckling

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
