The latest Tiddly Inks challenge is also a Christmas one, with the theme Merry Berry. Reds being the keyword. So I finally caved in and did a red instead of a blue Christmas card!
I used Pion papers, Live and Love Crafts lace, Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers and coloured Santa’s Helpers in with Copics.
Hope you’re all having a wonderful Christmas time.
Christmas is coming up so fast! I haven’t done any Christmas cards today, but this is one I did yesterday! It is for the new Art by Mi Ran Facebook group challenge for December. Our theme is Winter. Yes, it was my idea. I love winter cards so much. Can you tell? Heh. Besides, it was snowing the other day, so I had to make another snowman card!
I used the super cute Hello Mr. Snowman, again. And yes, I did it in blue this time, too… I coloured it all in with copics. And then I went mad adding snow with a white pen. I made trees and the santa with reindeer using Noor Design dies. The paper is also from them. The lace I got at Live and Love Crafts, whereas the snowflake puncher is by Martha Stewart. The snowflakes are sparkling!
Copics used: (hair) 100, BV23, BV25, BV29, (skin) E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R20, (outfit) E49, R22, R24, R27, G40, G82, G94, W1, W3, (snow and sky) C1, C3, B0000, B000, B91
It’s Friday and a fab one at that! I can’t believe it is Christmas next week. In less than a week even, as we celebrate on the 24! That means I know what I have to spend my weekend doing: making Christmas cards! I certainly don’t have time to make any other cards if I want to get it all done. My wrist has been acting up the past few weeks, but it seems colouring is fine unless I spend all doing it.. so yey! I don’t have to rush out and buy Christmas cards! Thank goodness! If you want lots of inspiration for Christmas in particular, pop over to see our creations at Tiddly Inks!
For this card I’ve used the adorable Reindeer Games and coloured it in with copics! Don’t you just love it?! Of course the card is blue. Is there any other kind I’ll soon start to wonder.. heh. I bought the lace at KaBoks, used Noor Design tree dies and a Martha Stewart snowflake puncher! Additionally I used a snow pen for the snow effect and a Panduro sentiment stamp.
Copics used: (hair) E31, E34, E37, (skin) E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, (outfit) R22, R24, R27, R89, C1, C3, (reindeer) E42, E43, E44, E47
Tuesday is Tiddly Inks Challenge day! That means today we have a new challenge up! I absolutely love winter and Christmas cards, so obviously I am loving the new Holly Jolly theme! Ideally the colour scheme should be green and gold, but I am useless in adding gold to my cards so I chose my favourite: blue! I chose the awesome Winter Wryn for my project. There are lots of great winter and Christmas ones to choose from in the Tiddly Inks shop, so it was hard to pick! Good thing I need to make lots of Christmas cards, eh? heh.
Lots of dies are from Noor Design, including the reindeer and santa one that I recently won in a candy. Yes! I won! I didn’t believe it at all, heh. I love it though. It is perfect to make the card christmassy. The border snowflake die is from Tim Holtz, and as I said, the rest of them are Noor Design ones which I jazzed up either by layering them, using fancy papers, or adding snow and dots! The paper is Papirdesign and Pion.
Copics used: (skin) E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R20, (hair) E08, E18, E19, E97, (outfit) YG03, G40, G82, G94, (snow) C1, C3, C5, (sky) B0000, B000, B91, B93
This card has been entered into the following challenge:
Noor Design – Winter Wonderland
My holiday is half way through! What would be more fitting than a card filled with snow, eh? I mean, it couldn’t be further away from the weather atm in Australia. It is time for a new Art by Mi Ran‘s Facebook group’s Anything Goes challenge, with bling as the optional theme. I was going to opt out of the bling part, but I changed my mind at the end. I used Mi Ran‘s gorgeous Hello, Mr. Snowman for this.
As usual I have coloured it in with copics. On the sky background I coloured it in with blue and painted over with white acrylic paint, just for fun! I used the paint around the edges on all of the backgrounds as well.
The dies are by Noor Design and Tim Holtz. I also used a Martha Stewart puncher. A few cones and 5 Wild Orchid Crafts roses with a bit of Live and Love Crafts lace made up most of the rest!
