CMNs 5th birthday

This month we are celebrating Copic Marker Norges fifth birthday! Happy Birthday to us. To kick off the month we have a new birthday challenge. There will be loads of fun things both on the blog and facebook page during the month, so be sure to keep an eye out as there are some great prizes to be won!

The card I made for the birthday is done with an image from Tiddly Inks that I absolutely adore. The image is obviously coloured with copics. Most of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and lace and some flowers from Live and Love Crafts

Fairy Lily

Time for another anything goes challenge at Art by Mi Ran’s Facebook group! The optional theme this month is music, which I decided (yet again) to opt out of! For my card I’ve used the adorable Fairy Lily. I’ve been wanting to use this image for a long time, and I finally did it!

The papers are First Edition papers, the flowers Wild Orchid Crafts and the dies are by Noor Design. The sentiment is my own.

Fairy Freya

Another month, another Art by Mi Ran progressive challenge. Pop over to Art by Mi Ran’s Facebook group for details on how to join in the challenge and how to obtain the image. The adorable image will also be available in Art by Mi Ran’s shop in May. Her name is Fairy Freya.

Some of the papers are by Lili of the Valley. They’ve all been painted around the edges. Butterflies are from Noor Design, the flowers and deep red ribbon are by Wild Orchid Crafts and the lace is from Live and Love Crafts. The card base shape is made with dies by Go Kreate.

Sweet Sally

It is time for another of the popular Art by Mi Ran progressive challenges! To find out what these are, and to take part, please visit the ABM Facebook Group. If you’d rather purchase the image without taking part, then you’ll have to wait until next month and you’ll find her in the shop.

As always I coloured her up with copics. This time I added some bricks and a back to stop her from floating mid air surrounded by white.

The sentiment stamp is by Lili of the Valley and the flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts.

Phoenix

It is Friday and time for another progressive challenge at Art by Mi Ran’s Facebook group. Basically you join the group, follow the guidelines to purchase the image and enter in the challenge, then next month when the new challenge is up you get the image given to you as long as you took part the previous month. Great right?! This month we’re playing with Phoenix. If you’d rather not play along, she’ll be available for purchase next month in Art by Mi Ran’s Etsy shop.

I made my card reasonably simple after I had coloured the image in with copics. I used a few dies from Noor Design and had fun with some black gesso.
