Colouring with my Copics - 3 cards

I've been busy with my Copic markers recently, colouring up some images.

Up first are two adorable girls from Little Darlings.  I had the amazing opportunity to colour up the Hula Girl image at the Little Darlings booth at CHA in Anaheim this January.  At that time I used Distress markers and while that image turned out OK, this time I used my Copic markers for more control.  I guess you just go back to what you are use to, what you are most comfortable with.

Hula Girl - and My Mind's Eye "collectable" paper line, Prima flowers, Spellbinders die all held together with Helmar 450.

 


Beach Babe - just a cute, using the same products.

 

Next up is Carisa Girl; a Unity Stamp by Angie Blom who I had the pleasure of meting and taking a class from at Crop & Create Cornwall.  One of my besties is 9 months pregnant and itching to get this little boy out and into the outside world.  I told her that she has to eat fresh pineapple to bring on labour, so tomorrow I'm bringing her a fresh pineapple and this card.  I wish I could take a photo of her face when I give her this - she is going to laugh so hard.  The inside image is a line drawing I nabbed off the net.

 

 
Let me know what you think of my recent endeavours, be kind, leave a comment!

 

Inspired by Prima

I recently had the most amazing opportunity of attending a two day workshop with Cari Fennell of Prima Marketing when she stopped in little old Cornwall.  I took in three classes that consisted of an altered tin filled to the brim with tags; two layouts; and a canvas mini album. 

I really enjoyed myself, getting to try out the Pan Pastels.  Something I will be investing in the near future I predict!

So, needless to say, I picked up several sheets from the three lines that Auntie Em's is carrying in store currently, and went to town with my leftovers and created the following layout and card with the Fairy Belle line. It really is much nicer in person though ... so if you would like to see it up close and personal - please stop by Auntie Em's to have a look!

 I used texture paste with a template to create a chicken wire texture.  I layered several paper Prima flowers and attached with a brad to create a thick flower.  I used Helmar Scrapdots to float the title above the flowers and photo. A wooden ticket, a metal charm and a tile topped off the layout.

And a Card .... for my Mommy :o)  I used a resin piece in the corner and gave it some colour with my Copic's and gave the fairy some texture to her wings with a bit of liquid pearl and then outlined her wings too.

Well let me know what you think .... I love to hear your comments!
