Kamsin

Of the wind - Kamsin is my new image, created for the Crafting Circle challenge for March.

You can find her in my Etsy shop - here (with 10% off if you quote code SKIANDREA10)

It was the hair thing, I love colouring hair so I decided to create an image with lots of it.

I could have just created a portrait but images of long hair blowing in the wind caught my attention when browsing for some inspiration.

I've also created Kamsin with glasses.  Of course if you want you can turn them into sunglasses!

Hopefully I'll get chance to colour her soon :)

Have fun & happy crafting!

Meet Max

Just popping by to say Hi!

This little cute puppy is my latest new release image at SheepSki Designs - you can find Max in my shop by clicking here :)  You can get him with 10% discount by quoting code SKIANDREA10

Maz has been coloured with Copics and polychromos pencils.  When I printed him I left plenty of room so I could add a sentiment next to him.

I decided to do this with some Sizzix thinlet letters.

Just making a CAS card to show him off to you, I've used some black card and one sheet of design paper from First Edition.

Hope you love my little puppy.  You can have a go at winning him by entering my SheepSki Designs Facebook challenge and soon my Challenge blog (first challenge starts 1 April)

Happy Weekend!

I chose Puppy Girlz as my inspiration for Outlawz Sketch challenge this week.  This image is from Bugaboo our sponsor for March.

The image was coloured with Copics and polychromos pencils.  After cutting it and mounting it onto some black card I doodled a stitched border.  

This is our sketch for this week

I've flipped it on its side.  Apart from some more black card I've used papers from Santoro and a scrap of red flowered paper that was left lying around (can't remember who it is though - sorry!)

The sentiment is wood chip from Scrapiniec and coloured with Copic.

The ric rac ribbon was from Crafty Ribbons, I've used some black gems and two large chrysanthemums from Wild Orchid Crafts

Hope to see you at the challenge

Blue & Gold Wedding

Honoured to have been invited to be a guest designer at Crafting by Designs this month, where the them is anything goes.

For my inspiration I've chosen to make a wedding card using Wedding Couple from Aurora Wings

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.  Making a CAS style card as this is going to be handed round work for signing I've just doodled a border with pen.

The image is mounted onto layers of black card stock and blue glitter paper.

The embellishments are a couple of sequins and some rhine stones to add some bling and a wood chip sentiment from Scapiniec coloured with blue ProMarker to match the image colour scheme.

Thank you for having me ladies :)

I've double cut the image using two Spellbinders dies to create the lacy look.  The edges of the image have then been coloured to match the design papers,

The design paper I've used are from Lili of the Valley and all ave been distressed.

My only embellishments are some pearl gems and three butterflies which ave actually been cut off a long flower stick on strip which I got in Hobby Craft.

You can enter the challenge here or if you prefer we have a blog challenge at well which is themed anything goes - but you need to use an All Dressed Up image to count.
