Out sledging

So many red Christmas cards as of late that I figured I’d show another blue one. This has quite a cold, winter feeling to it and the three bunnies are adorable. The stamp is from Lili of the Valley. I used some more of my Maja Design papers and my favourite lace, and kept the card rather simple again. I’m quite fond of this semi-layered, semi-simple card for Christmas this time. Keeping it layered, but leaving off a lot of embellishments.

Copics used: N-series, B90-series, BG90-series.

Feeding birdies

When I first saw this stamp at Mo’s Digital Pencil I just knew I had to have it. I love the kid’s expression, the long scarf and well, everything. The little bird is just too cute and I decided to colour it up as a robin. I drew in a half-frame on the sentiment side of the card and used a sentiment stamp from Norsk Stempelblad. It didn’t stamp as nicely as I wanted, so I decided to keep the stamp as a shadow and write over it with a thin pen.

I’ve used the B90s, E70s, BG90, the usual skin colours and various Ns for this card.

A wee winter fairy for Christmas

Today is my second day on the Copic Marker Norge blog this month for our advent calendar. You don’t need the most typical Christmas stamps to make Christmas cards. This, for example, gets most of its Christmas feel through the colours I’ve used on the papers. The cute stamp is by Wee Stamps / Whimsy Stamps and I’ve used various papers from Maja Design. I’ve used a text stamp by Norsk Stempelblad and ribbon bought at Panduro. The card shame is made with dies from Go Kreate and I’ve edged the pieces with white acrylic paint.

Here is a close-up photo of the colouring. I wanted to show you how the wings, ear muffs and snow looks. To get that effect I simply played around with various light coloured markers, but with a bit extra focus on blue, until I got it how I wanted.

Wee Iris

Today I have a card using a Wee Stamp available at Whimsy Stamps. I’ve used my favourite lace and some Maja Design paper together with a Norsk Stempelblad text stamp and my favourite butterfly from La-La Land Crafts.

Poinsettia and pomegranates

November. Wasn’t it just May? I really can’t keep up this year, but apparently it’s time release that Christmas is less than two months away. This month we’re having the theme Christmas for our Copic Marker Norge challenge. I’ve decided to colour up the Poinsettia and Pomegranates stamp from Power Poppy that I coloured up two years ago. I went with even richer and deeper reds this time and kept the card really quite simple.

Copics used: (red) R22, R24, R27, R89, E79, (green) YG13, YG17, G94, G99, (brown) E74, E79, (yellow) Y32, Y38, YR07
