Copic Colour Challenge

Time for another challenge on the Copic Challenge Blog. I chose the colours this time, nice bright and summery to go with the fine weather we are having at the moment:

The red and yellow together creates perfect apples, don't you think?

I used two of the new stamps from the WOJ summer collection. I stamped the boy then realised he was a seated figure (doh!!), I therefore just drew a little wooden one-seater bench behind him.


Didn't have the light when I took these pictures and as I made it for someone I didn't have it in my possession for long. Here are the products I used:
Stamps: Whiff of Joy
Papers: K&Co and Basic Grey
Various Rub-ons for edges and sentiment
Flowers are K&Co Wild Raspberry, Sun is K&CO Sea Glass chipboard.
Shapes cut with Nestabilities dies
"With Love" and wooden bench done by hand

Pop over to the Copic challenge blog and see what the talented ladies on the team have come up with.

Don't forget the celebrations on Dottie's World. Today it's a treasure hunt!! Lots and lots of gorgeous stash to be won so don't miss out!

Birthday Angel and New Candy!

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Did you watch Eurovision last night? It's been a load of tosh for years, right? Yet yesterday I have to admit that I actually enjoyed watching it!! I had it on whilst making a few cards but I frequently stopped to look at the screen. My favourites were Estonia and Iceland, but I also liked the UK entry and others such as Malta. Norway's entry was not my cup of tea and I am surprised that it won. Well done UK for getting to a very respectable number 5. Missed Terry's banter though, not the same without him, Terry Wogan IS Eurovision and Eurovision = Terry Wogan.

Anyway, back to crafting. It's my little angels birthday next week and what a perfect stamp I had to use, our very own Delectable Angel Annie, couldn't wish for a more apt image. I went all out on this one, and filled it with sparkly and glittery elements. It's a big card at A5.

Here are some close-ups:

Sunday Challenge - Charms

Juliet set the challenge today on Dottie's World and she wanted to see something dangly on the cards (snigger), such as a charm, as well as a Charmed download.

I used Madison on the Beach, from Holly & Madison's World Tour, as well as Mikey from the new collection (download button in side bar).

My dangly charm is a Marion & Me "Beach Babe" charm, which I hung from a Tim Holtz Swivel Clasp.


The sentiment is a mixture of stickers and rub-ons:

Some of the other products used:
Basic Grey Porcelain Paper
K&Co Que Sera Sera Note card
Nestabilities die
Martha Stewart Zig Zag punch
Prima flower dotted to make it look like drops of water
Marion & Me Metal heart corner
Tim Holtz ink
Various pearls, crystals and brads
The images were coloured in with Copic markers

Pop over to Dottie's World and join the challenge :-)

TFL and have a great Sunday ♥

Copic Colour Challenge

It's Wednesday and that means Copic Colour Challenge. I had to use one of the new Charmed Delectable stamps, in fact two of the stamps: Annie sitting Pretty and the Accessory stamp Tree Stump with Bluebells.


Here are the Copic colours we had to use this week:

I layered K&Co papers and edged with a K&Co border (Cut 'n Paste). Pearls were coloured with a green marker pen. Branches are cut with two McGill punches.




Pop over to the Copic Challenge blog and see what amazing creations the other DT members have come up with.

Charmed Delectable Stamps....

The wonderful range of Charmed Delectable Stamps are now available to purchase individually. Here is just one of our new stamps: Irresistible Annie:

I am actually showing this card on the Delectable blog and Dottie's World too so if you have seen it before I apologise.

The paper is from the K&Co Que Sera Sera pad. Embellishments are also mostly K&Co and the frame was cut on my Silhouette. Annie was coloured in with Copic markers.

TFL and have a great Bank Holiday Monday x

Inspiration Challenge....

Sunday can mean only one thing: time for another challenge on Dottie's World. This time the lovely Louise set the challenge and she chose for us to gain inspiration from a dreamy picture.

I loved this picture so much that I decided to use it in full on my card. It's a very simple card using just the picture, a few swirls, Madison in Venice (from the Holly & Madison's World Tour collection), a bit of multi-coloured ribbon and some pearls and rhinestones, with a doodled border.

I used Copics to colour in Madison. Picking a colour from the dreamy inspiration picture I coloured in the edge of my card and drew shadows around the swirls. The lettering on the inspiration photo was added on the computer.

Pop over the Dottie's World and see the wonderful ways the DT used the inspiration, it's amazing how we all differ.

Thanks for looking. Have a lovely Sunday ♥
