Hi Again

Well September is now almost over and  I would like to share with you my last card

for this month.

This one is for Bizzy Becs and features the StampingBella Oddball Farm Birds stamp set.

I have made a simple and Fun card with these gorgeous Chickens from the Oddball collection, 

I have stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black inland coloured the three birds in

with Copic Markers.

The Clouds are sponged in Distress Oxide Broken china using a stencil to mask out the clouds and the 

sponged ink becomes the sky and shadows.

I have die cut out the hills using a Lawn Fawn die and sponged them 

in Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide 

ink.

I have then stamped out my main word, hugs , directly onto the card and cut out the 

stamped co-ordinating sentiments.

Sketchy Floral Hello Friend Card

Hi Again

Today I am sharing my third project for September and Paper Rose Studio.

All of my cards this month are coloured with pencils and this one is on a grungy background.

I decided to fussy cut out the coloured image and layer it onto a inky background, well I sure wasn't going to cut out that wispy the sprig of leaves at the top of this gorgeous little posy!

so instead I stamped the sketchy floral stamp onto my background after inking. once I had coloured the flowers in I then only fussy cut out the bigger ones and layered that onto my stamped background and voila! I still have all those gorgeous leaves in my posy.

The background is completed  by using Distress ink spray on speckled egg.

U have also added some black and white ink splatter to the background.

Supplies used: 

19075 Sketchy Floral Hello Stamp Set

prismacolor pencils

Distress ink Speckled egg

It's Stamptember SSS collaboration with Paper Rose Studio

 

Hello crafty Friends 

Today I am really honoured to be asked to share in on the Stamptember Party at 

Simon Says Stamp.

Simon Says Stamp and Paper Rose have gotten together to create a limited edition stamp and Die Set.

Customers can purchase the Long Stem Flowers Stamp set or the Long Stem Flowers Stamp and Die set for a limited time, while supplies last.  You will need to be quick to get this set as numbers are limited

Those of you that know my style will know that I am a colouring addict for both Copic Markers and Coloured Pencils. When I received my gorgeous Stamp set I found it really hard to decide which medium to use to colour in these gorgeous flowers. I decided to try prismacolor pencils and solvents as I had a bottle of Zest it that I hadn't used yet!

The flowers have been coloured in light layers of coloured pencils building up the pigment and layering the shads of pink and violet on top of each other. Once enough pigment is down on the paper I have used a  brush and some Zest-It pencil blend to blend all the colours together and smooth out the grainy pencil pigment.

After letting the solvent dry completely I have then added more pencil to sharpen up some of the colours and add extra depth of colour where needed.

To create the card I have used the Paper Rose Studio Quatrefoil Layer 1 and 2 Dies for my background.I have coloured my base layer in Distress ink in speckled egg.

I hope you like my card and thanks to Simon Says Stamp for asking us to join in on the 

Stamptember Party!

Until Next Time

Hello Autumn leaf card in Prismacolor pencils

 

Hi There

Im back again with my first project for September. 

Today I have a card to share with you for Paper Rose Studio that I have made card using the new Sketchy Floral Hello stamp set.

This card is simply about the colouring. 

I have stamped out the leaf stamped in the set multiple times in a light colour ink, 

I used Gina K's amalgam ink in skeleton leaves.

The paper  that I like to use for coloured pencils is Mi-Teintes pastel paper from Canson.

I Have then coloured in the leaves with Prismacolor coloured pencils. 

It took awhile to colour them all 

 but totally worth it.

The card background is also coloured with pencils in soft blues.

The card is completed by matting it on a black base and using the Hello layered Die and the black and white sentiment paper pack
