Crafty Meraki Poinsettia

Wasn’t it just Tuesday? Well, it is Tuesday again and it’s time for another Crafty Meraki project. The days just seem to fly past at the moment! Today I have a simple Christmas card to share with you. Lately I’ve coloured up quite a lot of the card panel, so this time I’ve focused on just a part of it and leaving plenty of white space. I’ve used the poinsettia stamp from the Christmas Miracle stamp set twice and masked them together as well as masking them into a section of the card. The flowers were coloured in with Copic marker and I also coloured in a grey background behind them.

The sentiment is from MFT Stamp Christmas Cheer stamp set and I’ve placed three semi-transparent sequins around it. They are a bit hard to spot in photos, though. To frame it all I used red cardstock as the card base, the cardstock is also from MFT Stamps.

Copics used: T3, R22, R24, R29, E18, Y32, Y35, Y38, YR27 + white gelly roll pen.

Have a great week!

Colouring video: Poinsettias and Pomegranates

I have a new colouring video for you today where I have used the Power Poppy stamp Poinsettia and Pomegranates. This is available in both clear stamp and digital stamp on their website. Coincidentally it’s actually on a sale right now when I’m posting this up. The focus here is primarily on colouring using red as well as how to get dimension on the layers by adding shadows.

There is no audio for this video, but I am really hoping to get that added on the next one again! Anyway, here is the video:

This is how the card I made with this image looks:

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

30. Pionsettia lollipop card

Two days ago I had an inspirational post up at Copic Marker Norge where I was showing off two cards made with the same image. The first one appeared here on the 28th and the second is due today. This one is a lollipop card. If you click on the image to the right you can view the post where I added the first of these, which was a clean and simple card. Using one image on two completely different cards is quite fun to do actually!

The image for these two cards was the pretty pionsettia by Power Poppy. I’ve used various paper from Papirdesign, Lemoncraft and Maja Design for this one. Some memory box showflakes in red glitter, cheese cloth and white acrylic paint help make up the card.

Copics used: (red) R22, R24, R27, R59, R89, (green) YG00, YG03, YG63, YG67, (yellow) Y13, YR16, E08, (background) E43

 

Here is a photo of the two next to each other. As you can see, I have also angled the flower a bit different on the two projects.

28. Poinsettia, clean and simple

It is my turn for another inspirational post on Copic Marker Norge today and as we rarely have any projects with coloured flowers I decided it was time for just that. I made two projects using the same image. I will show off one of these on my blog today. The other one will appear in two days, on the 30th. If you’d like to sneak a look of the other project just pop over to CMN to see them both at once today.

I’ve used this super pretty poinsettia from Power Poppy. It was a lot of fun colouring it up. I’ve decided to keep the card super simple with just a couple of stripes of glitter to frame the Maja Design paper I printed Christmas on. The gorgeous chipboard is from Make it Crafty.

Let’s have the funky view as well, because it looks super cool with the chipboard! I coloured the chipboard with the same reds as on the poinsettia, apart from the lightest colour.
