Vannessa

Posted on by Liz

It is our wonderful Mi Ran facebook DT co-ordinater Vannessa’s birthday today. It is her 40th!! That certainly warrants a celebration, and a celebration it is! On our facebook group we have a freebie this week to celebrate as well as a competition.

This is the card I made using the freebie. The balloons are blank, so I added a 40 to it! I’ve used Noor Design dies and a bunch of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I also used Wild Orchid Crafts flowers to make the bouquet she is holding as I thought it looked pretty cool! There are coloured flowers underneat.

It’s summer and another progressive challenge

Posted on by Liz

It’s that time again, the time for a new Mi Ran progressive challenge! They are so much fun! You purchase the image the first time you play along, when you participate by adding your creations, you will at the start of the next month receive that image for free. It is so much fun to see all the creations you get from the same image! Everybody is so talented and creative! So come play along with us! Visit the Mi Ran Facebook group for more information. After each month the image is available in Mi Ran’s Etsy store.

It is finally a nice warm summer here, which inspired my card. I coloured the image in with copics and went with much paler colours than I have done as of late. I decided on the violet and yellow combination and even coloured the sentiment in to match. The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley, as is the yellow background paper. The main background is by Maja Design and I very much regret only purchasing one sheet of it! All the flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts and the berry looking spray is by Live and Love Crafts. The leaves die is by Noor Design and the butterfly puncher is Martha Stewart.

Butterfly princess

It is time for another card for the Mi Ran progressive challenges at their Facebook group. I love this image! It is so very pretty, don’t you think?! I couldn’t wait to get it coloured and I can now finally add my card here! You can get the image from Mi Ran’s Etsy shop. It will be available in the shop next month and is called Rora and Butterfly. If you want it now, just join in the FB challenge!

I am so pleased how it turned out, the colouring, the layout, everything! It is definitely my new favourite Mi Ran image and I am so happy with how it all came together. I used colours I’ve rarely used when colouring, and darker papers than usual, they are from Fab Scraps Paper. I’ve roughened up the edges, added lace from Live and Love Crafts, distresed the edges with green and purple, used Noor Design leaves in green and purple, Martha Stewart butterflies with rows of pearls. Oh and lots of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, obviously.

Petal blossom

Posted on by Liz

It is that time again! A new Anything Goes challenge on Mi Ran’s Facebook group. I have used Petal Blossom to make my DT card and coloured it in with copics.

I noticed some of the other DT girls had used pink for this one, so I decided to use a different colour combination and ended up doing one I’m not even certain I have tried before! Blue and purple! I do love it though and will be sure to use it to make another card again soon! When I started colouring, I was very usure how her dress would turn out as I’ve not had much luck with folds so far. I am very happy how it turned out, though! Best I’ve done so far I reckon. Hopefully I will finish the skin and hair class at Kit and Clowder soon so that I can start on the clothing one. I’ve never been good at doing things in order, or waiting until I have time for the tutorials, heh.

The papers used on this card is by Lili of the Vally, the flowers and ribbon are Wild Orchid Crafts, I’ve used stickles for the sparkly border and lace from a local yarn shop.

Mi Ran DT, shabby daisy

Posted on by Liz

I have some exciting news! I was very recently asked to join Art by Mi Ran’s Facebook Design Team, and of course I accepted! It is the first time I have been on a team for an artist, and it is both intimidating and wonderful! I do love her art and I have coloured up a fair few of her images so far. Have a look at her Etsy shop and I’m sure you, too, will find something you love!

Today’s post will feature the very first card I have made as a part of the Design Team. It is for a progressive challenge. The progressive challenge works as follows: You purchase one specific image for the month you wish to start joining in the challenge. The subsequent months you will receive the image for the current challenge as long as you took part in the previous month’s challenge. Everybody uses the same image each month for this particular challenge. This month we are using Delightful Daisy and the challenge will end on 7th May.

I used copics to colour in mine. I decided to give the card a shabby look, using papers from Lili of the Valley, flowers, ribbon and lace from Wild Orchid Crafts, distress ink, a papermania doily and stickles glitter glue.
