Hero Arts and Lion King

For the longest time, (yes we are talking years here,) my sister wanted a Lion King themed card for her birthday. I was never really able to find what I wanted to use for it until a couple of months ago when I came across two perfect stamp sets from Hero Arts.Funnily enough, her birthday was right around the time of the premiere of the new Lion King film as well. My sister finally got her birthday card and I no longer have to be annoyed at that one little challenge I seemed unable to complete. Thank you, Hero Arts! Oh, and I had to promise to get her the film once it’s out on Blu Ray, too!

I used Distress Oxide Ink for the background and coloured up Make it Crafty alphabet letters using Copic.

Colouring video: LotV Bunnies Decorating Tree

Today there is a new release full of Christmas stamps over at Lili of the Valley so for that occasion I’ve made a new colouring video. I have coloured up the stamp Bunnies Decorating Tree. As these are digital stamps you can resize them (do make sure it’s proportional, though) to whichever size you fancy. I have mine here approximately 8 cm by 7 cm for the print and if you include the white area around what I’m colouring up then that is 10.5 cm by 10 cm. Just to give you an idea. For this colouring I’m mostly focused on traditional Christmas colours using some of my favourite colour combinations.

There is no audio for this video either. I simply didn’t have time to get that done as well for this release, and I’m sure the baby would try to get her opinions in, too…

I have not made the card with this image yet, but I plan to have it done and posted up on the blog next week.

Oh, and yes, I know my markers are in desperate need of a clean, but I really wanted to get the video done for today. So, yeah, priorities!

LotV Snow bunny

During the past month I was so busy taking part in the 30 day colouring challenge on Instagram that I had no time left to make any cards really! Well, the challenge is over now and I have loads of ready-coloured images to make cards of. But before I get started on those, I’ve also gotten to play with the new stamps for the new release at Lili of the Valley which will be out this week. It’s all about Christmas and it’s a great way to get some Christmas cards ready already! Here is the first of the cards I’ve made for the release.

Copics used: N0, N1, N3, R22, R24, R27, R59, G21, G82, G94, G99, E71, E74, E77, YR21, YR23, E08, B000, BV20

Colouring video: Make a wish

I finally have another colouring video for you! It is a Mo’s Digital Pencil stamp called Make A Wish and I have coloured it up in no-lines. To colour up in no-lines you can print out a digital stamp in really faint lines, or you can use a pale coloured ink (or stamp several times with a dark one without reapplying the ink) on a rubber or clear stamp. I used this to make a card a few months back, but there’s been so much going on that I’ve only just managed to get the video done! Better late than never, right?

There is no audio on this video. I will try to add that to my next one again, though.

Here is the card I made with the finished colouring.

Copics used: (skin) E0000, E00, E02, E13, E15, R30, (hair) E21, E25, E27, E29, (turquoise) BG10, BG11, BG15, BG18, (purple) V12, V15, V17, (grey) N0, N1, N3, N5, N7, (green) G21, G40, G82, G94
