ABC Challenge - W is for Wishes

Can you believe it's the 1^st of December already? The year is still flying by and today is also time for the next ABC Challenge and this time it is all about W is for Wishes. For this challenge you must use a sentiment in your creation. Our sponsor for this challenge is Polkadoodles. So many delightful images to choose, I finally decided on Winter Time, from the Octavia Frosted Winter collection. Here is my card:

I decided to do a sepia card for this challenge!! Here is a closer look at my image:

I printed my digi onto Kryogen card stock using my Canon Pixma ink jet printer – after changing the colour of my image to brown so it fitted in with the sepia colour scheme. I then coloured it in with my Copics. The colours I used are skin: E0000, E11, E000, E00, R20, image: E59, E57, E55, E53, E51, E50, W00, W1, W3, W5.

Polkadoodles Twiggy and Toots

Hi everyone, I've been having fun this week colouring some of the super cute owl images from Polkadoodles Twiggy and Toots digital Collection. This time I decided to make one of the fun 3D birdhouses instead of a card. It was so easy to do and I think it looks just fabulous. Here is my finished project:

 
For this one I printed out the birdhouse on Matte photo card and cut it out using scissors. It also comes as an svg file if you want to use your electronic cutter. It was so easy to put together and everything just lined up perfectly. I then printed A Gift for You and Hats off Twiggy on Copic Xpress-It card and got out my Copics. These gorgeous owls are so much fun to colour. The colours I used are: W00, W3, W5, E59, E57, E55, E53, E51, E0000, Y26, Y23, Y21, Y00, Y28, B97, B95, B93, B91, B0000, R85, R83, R81, Y11, G20, YG03, YG25, YG67, R01, R02, YR21, YR01, YR02, YR00, C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00.

After colouring, I fussy cut the owls and created my scene. I then added some pearls and bling to the creations, and of course topped it off with a spray of flowers.

I hope you enjoyed my Inky Pinkies DT make for this week, happy stamping, Carol.
