A couple of bookmarks

Posted on by Liz

I have so many cards and projects to get done, so I escaped all of it by making myself a bookmark as I have no idea where the other ones are and this book I’m reading deserves a proper bookmark. I had quite a few stamps I coloured up while I had my demo at Hobbykunst, and they are perfect for bookmarks! I sent a quick text to closest family and then ended up making eleven bookmarks, so far… Here are the first two I made. The dies and stamps are all by MFT Stamps. The die set I used for the actual bookmarks is part of what I chose for my Superstar win and I absolutely love it!

This one is mine. I surprised myself by keeping the colours soft, and of course I had to have a hedgehog on it!

I so love this space stamp set. Isn’t it the cutest?!

Unfortunately I will not be listing the colours for these stamps, but to give you a general idea: the grey and black in the space one is all N markers and the brown and skin colour on the hedgehog are E70s and V90s.

Space fun

I spent the weekend at Hobbykunst Norge colouring up various My Favorite Things Stamps. I got to meet some great people interested in both the colouring and the stamps and I got a few stamps coloured up to add to my already rather large pile of coloured images! One of the stamp sets I coloured up was the astronaut and space themed set. And between my colouring sessions on Saturday and Sunday I managed to make it into a card, too. I decided to go with the MFT sketch of the week so I could enter it into their challenge.

The paper is by Studio Light and the rhinestone stars are by Rayher. You can obviously find all the products at Hobbykunst.

Here is a photo of the card laying down flat as well, and a little more close up.

Nurse, another word for hero

Posted on by Liz

A co-worker recently quit to start her life as a nurse in another part of the country. I simply had to have this stamp set from MFT Stamps for her good-bye card. Colouring white on white is always a challenge, and I wanted to do it in no-lines. I tried the fade-out ink from Inkon3 again, and it’s perfect.

Copics used: (face) E000, E00, E02, E13, E15, R20, R22, (hair) E41, E42, E43, E44, (white) N0, N1, N3, (green) G21, G40, G94, (grey) N5, (ground) W0, W1, W3, W5

MFT Superstar – CAS

Posted on by Liz

Another one of the challenges for this year’s My Favorite Things Superstar is to make a clean and simple card. I actually made a couple today as I had a few ideas and this is the one I’ve decided to enter with. I’ve used the rubber stamp Fresh Cut Flowers and stamped it with a faint coloured ink. Then I have masked it off and coloured a stipe of it only in mostly greyscale, apart from the leaves which I wanted to remain green. For the sentiment I’ve used a text stamp from the Ewe Are the Best set and the you part of the miss you die which I’ve coloured up to match the rest.

Copics used: G21, G40, G94, N0, N1, N3, N5, N7 + black multiliner 0.3

Mermaid and watercolour

Posted on by Liz

I have finally tried some watercolour again! I made this background just playing around really. It is quite fun and I think it worked well for my little mermaid from MFT Stamps. I’ve made this card for their sketch challenge this week.

Copics used: (skin) E0000, E00, E02, E13, E15, (hair) E08, E18, E19, E49, E97 (tail) BG11, BG15, BG18, BG78
