Two of my favourite things.  I totally love this image and have to say I am super proud of my colouring on this.  

I have coloured her using copic markers, the die cut is from spotlight, the paper is kaiserkraft and the little post card is Kmart.  I inked the edges of the this and the papers to give it a used industrial look along with edging the clock die in gold.  The embellishments are from eBay.

Grungy Fairy Image.

I decided to try a grungy village and my daughter said for halloween as we have coloured a pretty one.  The image is Fairy Village from Torytales.  I coloured using pencils (these are not bendable and belong to Miss 9) but I have definitely decided I would like some good ones.  So saving up it is.  

I decided on the embellishments, the frontage is the first time I have used it and the brads are stampin up, the corner piece is from eBay.

I distressed the image quite a lot as was really playing with the frontage but it got the thumbs up from little miss.

Halloween Witch

Well I had so much fun with the other witch that decided to try this one for halloween, I was happy with the vibrancy of the copic markers used to colour her.  Stampin up paper used and bow punch, lace and sparkles from the local $1 shop.

Fairy Village - A lovely little digi stamp by Torytales

I love this stamp, today I coloured it for a special young lady I know so I ensured I used all her favourite colours.  The image is coloured with copic markers.  The lovely new sweet sugarplum paper and ink was used for the embellishments.  I love to match all my colours up.

I used a lovely Liliofthevalley sentiment and backing paper which matched all the colours and picked some gorgeous little embellishments from stampin up to make sure I added some bling.

This is the finished result with a matching sweet sugarplum ribbon.  I also used liquid accents on the fairy badge sentiment and added extra for the sky effect, and glitter glue for extra sparkle. 

Hope you like it.

Squirrel and Toadstool stamp by Ching-Chou Kuik

Spring version of Tiny Hedgehog
https://www.torytale.com/shop/digital-stamp-tiny-hedgehog

The last card I designed using this stamp was very autumny, was as in oz were heading into spring thought I would do one to reflect our seasons.

The stamp used is tiny hedgehog by Torytale and is a digi stamp.  

Coloured in copic markers and mounted on stampin up card stock with some free patterned paper from a craft magazine (probably a few years old)

I like to match my copic colours best as possible to my card and papers colours 

For the finishing touches I added some crystal effects to the little guys eyes and nose and went a tiny bit overboard with the wink of stella pen, therefore added lots of buttons and bling, finally ribbon and sentiment.  Hope you like the finished result.

 ArtbyMiram Facebook challenge - September 2016 Progressive Challenge.

http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/2016/09/challenge-205.html

Hi there, what a busy week, from putting up my first blog post to joining lots of challenges on other blogs

I started off with my printed images and decided on what colour Copic markers I would use along with what papers I would use.

The digi stamp is toritales cute hedgehog

The pens used are:
Fur E33, E35, E37
body E00, E51, E04, R81 and R83
Leaf E29, BG93, BG96, BG99
Lady bird R46 and black faber Castell Pen 199



I started in the middle of the image colouring the body first starting light to dark, and then worked my way out, the hedgehog was coloured in the lighter colours and I used the darker browns to fill in some of the gaps giving the look of some texture



When I had finished colouring I cut out the image and the backing in oval framlets, I started to play with the papers and embellishments thinking where I would like them to be placed, I then inked the edge of the picture and started to put all together.

The inks used are moment black, stampin up, cajun craze and choc chip.  Cardstock and leaf paper paper are Kmart along with the lady bug, and leaves.  (Got to work to that budget) the paper is very flimsy so its backed onto stampin up choc chip and the main card is crumb cake, again stampin up supplies



After I had cut out the memory box dies in mixed leaves on Stampin up cards in garden green (R), cherry cobbler, more mustard (R) and choc chip I stuck them all together using dimensionals.  The finishing touches was using crystal effects to make it look like there was dew on the leaf and on the little guys nose.




Thanks for viewing :)

Most months I attend a local photography club and we submit pictures for review and if were lucky we get awarded a gold, silver or bronze.  I entered this picture a while ago and was lucky to get a silver, i then decided i had nothing to loose and entered into the inter club competition for western Australia.  I have been selected as a finalist so will soon see it mounted and hung for the inter club weekend away.

Only problem...I can't spell Tolkien lol and got my i and e mixed up...wonder if anyone will notice 

This is a free digi stamp form scrappers delight for freebie friday, I love this stamp as reminds me of when we (mum and me) took my 2 children to see the mummy exhibit in Perth and little miss was about 6 at the time, she was looking at us then at the mummy, pointed to me said "Mummy" pointed to the mummy arms out straight legs out straight and said "mmmuuuummmmyyyyy" one of those had to be there moments but I soon as I saw this stamp I knew it would be mums birthday card.

Stampin up card used in very vanilla and always artichoke (retired).
Background stamp, stampin up the open sea (retired) stamped and distressed in crumb cake and soft suede. Stamping up bring embossing folder used, highlighted with gold ink. Coloured in copics
