Summer Daze

It's Easter and that means a four day weekend and  I have some more time to play. I found this delightful image over at Elizabeth Bells Digital Designs and decide it would be fun to colour.




This one is a sliding pop up card. I used to make these all the time, but haven't made one for about 5 years. These are a great card to make, quite easy and they fold flat for posting. 




The image is printed on Copic Xpress card and coloured in with Copic Markers. The colours I used were: skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20, boys clothes: B91, B93, B95, B97, B0000 girls clothes: R37, R34, R32, R0000 boys hair: E57, E51, E53, E55, girls hair: Y26, E37, E33, E50, flowers: Y11, Y13, Y17, picnic basket: Y26, Y23, R39 reeds: G20, G82, G85, E59, E55, fish: BG0000, BG10, BG11, BG13 water: B0000, BG0000, BG11 sand: E43, E42, E40, puppy: E18, E15, 0

J is for Just As You Like (Anything Goes)

Here is my card for the ABC Challenges challenge that starts today. This challenge letter this time is J and the theme is Just As You Like It which means we can make a card where anything goes. Our sponsors for this challenge are Marianne Designs and The Ribbon Girl, so I decided to use a delightful Marianne designs stamp and 2 beautiful Marianne design die cuts. Here is my card: 


The image I chose was In the Sun from Marianne Designs Don & Daisy stamps. What a pleasant way to spend an afternoon in the sun reading a book. Here is a closer look:


I enjoyed colouring Daisy, especially the grass where I tried to get some texture with my copics. The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Copic Xpress Card and  coloured with Copic Sketch (and Ciao) Markers. The Copics used are as follows: skin: E11, E00, E000, E0000, R20, hair: E50, E51, E53, E55, E57 clothes: B0000, B21, B23, B24, B26, grass: G20, G82, G85, YG03, flowers: Y17, Y11, Y15, Y26, book: C00, C3 and C5.

I is for In a Line

Welcome to another fabulous challenge for ABC Challenges - to day it is I is for In a Line where we have to choose a set of items from a grid. The three I chose were: Ribbons, Lace and Charms. I am not usually a lacy person, and found this quite a challenge to add the lace, but here is my card:





The image was provided by our lovely sponsor, Sherri Baldy, and the image I chose was Messy Bestie. I thought she was very sweet. Sherri has some lovely images, so why don't you check out her site and see if you can find an image or two to play with. Here is a closer look:






The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Copic Xpress Card and  coloured with Copic Sketch (and Ciao) Markers. The Copics used are as follows: skin: E11, E00, E000, E0000, R20, hair: E39, E37, E35, E33, clothes: B0000, B91, B21, B23, Y21, C00, Y00, Y0000, Y23, R0000, R20, R21 and R22.
