Just for fun - Green and Black Secret Box

A while ago I found a lovely tutorial on Split Coast Stampers for a secret box. I loved the idea, but decided to re-size the box to make it taller so I could decorate it with some Tildas. This is how it turned out:

.

I stamped my Tildas using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on kryogen white card stock. I decided to colour the Tildas using the same colours, inspired by the background paper. Green is one of my favourite colours, but I have sometimes struggled when colouring with copics.

I am really happy with my images, and love the way the greens worked for me. The colours I used are skin: E0000, E11, E000, E00, R20 clothes:YG67, YG17, YG03, YG01, YG0000, YG23, G40, hair: E59, E57, E55, E53, E50, flowers and dots on dresses and bows: R24, yellow hat, shoes flower and flags: Y0000, YR20, Y23, Y26, Y29.

Here is the box opened up to reveal it's secrets:

Here is a close look at each of the lovely Tildas which are all from the Pink Lemonade collection:

ABC Challenge - S is for Shabby Chic

Time for another fun challenge at ABC Challenges today. This time we are up to S is for Shabby Chic. Our sponsor for today's challenge are Live and Love Crafts. Here is my card.

For my card  I printed my image on Kryogen card stock and then coloured it with my copics. Then I cut around the image using Stampin' Up Oval framelits and mounted it on Nestabilities Floral Oval that I sponged with blushing bride and Sahara sand inks.

The Copic colours I used are:  skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20, hair:E37, E33, E31, dress and bow:R0000, R81, R83, R85 picnic basket: B0000, B91, B93, G20, G82, YG23, YG25, YR0000, YR21, YR24, Y26, Y23, Y21, E55, E53.

I used a Martha Stewarts around the page punch to create a border on my base card, and layered it with papers, lace and a pretty butterfly die cut from my stash. 

I then added a bouquet of beautiful flowers, tied with a pink seam binding and added a charm.  Here is a closer look at this delightful Tilda from the new Pink Lemonade collection, Summer Buzz Tilda:

ABC Challenge: N is for Nautical

Ahoy there fellow stamping fanatics, today is the day for another fun challenge at ABC Challenges. Today our theme is N is for Nautical and we would like to see cards with a nautical  or ocean based theme. The sponsor of this challenge is Wild Orchid Crafts, and there is a $10 voucher up for grabs. They have so many gorgeous flowers available. 

The idea I had for today's challenge was a little mermaid watching through the window to the sailors on the sea. I had some lovely paper with a map on it, and it fitted my idea perfectly. Here is my card:

For my card, I stamped Magnolia's Pearl Tilda using Momento ink on Copic Xpress white card stock. She is coloured with my copics. The colours I used are  skin: E0000, E11, E000, E00, R20 hair: E55, E53, E51, shells: R02, R01, tail: B95, B93, B91, seahorse YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21, YR20, Y23, Y21, Y17. I then fussy cut her out and added some touches of glitter and some pearls to add some detail. 

I also stamped the sailboat on Copic Xpress card in Momento ink and masked it, before colouring the sea and the sky using my sponge daubers and SU Bermuda Bay, Not Quite Navy and Soft Sky inkpads. I then cut the window in the map so the boat showed through, using Labels 20 from Spellbinders.
The edges of the card I punched out using Martha Stewart Around The Page Border Punch. I also added some Wild Orchid Craft flowers and an SU sentiment.

Here is a close look at my little Tilda mermaid with her golden seahorse friend:

ABC Challenge: L is for Lots of Layers

Time for another fun challenge at ABC Challeges today. This time we are up to L and the challenge is to use Lots of Layers. Our sponsor for today's challenge is 7 Kids College Fund. They have so many gorgeous items available including Magnolia stamps, so today I used one of my favourite Tilda's. As for the layers,  I used 9 layers in my card, which is probably the most I have ever used.

For my card  I stamped Tilda loves flowers from the Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012 using Momento ink on kryogen white card stock. This gorgeous card has a fine gold sparkle through it and it is perfect for cards where you don't want the bright white card. She is coloured with my copics. The colours I used are  skin: E0000, E11, E000, E00, R20 hair: E37, E35, E33, E31 dress and shoes: B01, B02, B04, C7, C9 socks: C00, C3 flowers: YR20, YR21, YR24, BG93, BG96.
