Cute as a button - Ariana Mermaid

This lovely lady is the progressive challenge over on cute as a button Facebook group.  I have missed quite a few so bought her for half price to start participating again.

I have coloured her completely in copic markers and white gel pen to add the effect of sparkles on her tail, top and hair.  The base colours are stampin up coastal cabana and calypso coral.  The dsp and little banner at the bottom is kaiserkraft Island Escape.  All embellishments are eBay.

Hope you like her, thanks for stopping by, hugs Lynsey xx

All dressed up - Christmas Hair

Sorry for blasting you all with my posts this weekend, Im have a massive catch up on half finished projects and making sure Im active after a few sedative months :)  

I love this cutie, I have coloured her in copics and used a kaiserkraft DSP.  Stampin up wisteria wonder cardstock and ink for the stamp, which is Liliofthevalley.  The die is memory box, the lace and snowflake from supplies.  Lots of wink of stella again but doesn't photograph very well. 

I would say this is my last post this weekend, but depends how long I let the kids play Xbox ;)

Hugs, Lynsey xx

Aurora Wings 

I have coloured this image quite a few times for different themes, I have done a woodland elf, a breast cancer elf and now a snow queen.

Im sure you can tell its one of my favourite images and was one of the first I ever coloured.  I have used copics with a lot of wink of stella which is not visible.  Stampin up cardstock in not quite navy and sweet sugarplum, both retired.  

The dies are cut on stampin up glimmer papers and are memory box.

Happy weekend my lovely crafters xx

Cute as a Button - Fly Fishing

Hi everyone, well what a busy weekend Im having catching up on putting all my colourings into cards.  This cutie guy was made for a work colleague who was not well, he's a red haired fisherman so of course I had to match the boy to him.  He loved it.  I have coloured with copics and sponged the background in inks.  I used a stampin up punch to make the clouds.  I have used stampin up liquid glue to make the water droplets.  Stampin up cardstock used to match the sponged background.

Thanks for stopping by, Lynsey xx

Molly Harrison - Fairy and Dragon

There is often a theme of the mythical in my colourings, I adore all kind of magical and mythical images and books, this gorgeous Molly Harrison Fairy was so much fun to colour and really pushed skills with skin, hair and clothing.

All coloured with copic markers I used a grey for shadows on her skin which I would not normally do.  I learnt the wings from a kit and clowder class along  with the background and then adapted them as I wanted.  I have mounted this on stampin up elegant eggplant cardstock, it is a large card and I left inside blank and didn't put a sentiment on it as I wanted it to be all about the image.  The highlights in the sky are white gel pen. 

Thanks for stopping by my crafty friends, enjoy your weekend xx

Christmas in July - Faery Ink

Hi everyone, Im going to spend the next few days catching up on 2 months worth of blogging so apologise if you get spammed.  

Christmas in July is here and I wanted to show you one of my favourite artist drawings of this gorgeous faery elf.  I have coloured her in cops and used the wing technique learnt in a online class from kit and clowder.  

The papers are all stampin up in real red and crumb cake along with the sentiments and punch, the gems are coloured to match the tree in copics.  The gingerbread man was from a magazine.

Thanks for stopping by, xx

Paper Nest Dolls - Bubble Bath Emma

Hi everyone, hope most of you are enjoying some lovely sunshine, here on the west coast of WA were having major storms and floods so this image is quite appropriate.  

I have printed the digi stamp and coloured in using copics,  I knew which papers I wanted to use as soon as I saw this image and used that to dictate the colour scheme.  

The papers are kaiserkraft and stampin up cardstock in night of navy and sahara sand.  A very old retired brad was used as the hanger.  Its tricky to see but there is lots of wink of stella in the bubbles and glossy accents to make them shimmer and shine.

You can grab Emma here on this link:
