Aurora wings - La Mer

This weekend I have taken the time to finish off some projects hence todays massive overload lol.  This amazing mermaid was coloured using copics and prismacolor pencils.  it was so intrastate took me about 6 hours over a few different settings.  I have only used liquid pearls as a accent and mounted on stampin up wisteria wonder as I didn't want to cover any of the image.  Its the last post today i promise lol xx

Ching-Chou Kuik - Sinking Moon

Good morning my crafty friends.  I decided to have a play with the gorgeous mermaid after watching one of our awesome WA sunsets over the indian ocean.  I certainly did not do the real thing any justice in my colouring but as a first attempt didn't think i managed too bad :) but have since watched a gazillion tutorial and know next time will be so much better.  sorry for the overexposure of the picture was taken pretty early in the morning and sun was glaring.  I have coloured her using copic makers and decorated in liquid pearl with a wink of stella in clear, and liquid pearls.  The embellishments are all eBay and the papers are all stampin up in Denim Dapper and calypso coral.  It was fun to try something new.

Ching-Chou Kuik - Golden Promises

So I love my matching papers, ribbons and patterns and stampin up has released this new set of wonderful colours, matching ribbons, designer papers and embellishments and as soon as i saw them this gorgeous elf jumped straight into my head.  I had a vision that i wanted to achieve, I love the colours in this and amazingly nearly had the exact match in copics.  It doesn't show up very well but I dabbed a little bit of gold ink around the background and across the flowers using a sponge.

Scrappers Delights - Telsa Steampunk

Hi guys, well its Saturday again and time of my DT inspiration post.  This week I'm using the awesome Telsa Steampunk.  We know I have a soft spot for all steampunk so this was great fun to get going with some really deep colours.  

She has been coloured in using copic and prismacolor pencils, I have gone over her wings and clocks with glossy accents.  The dies are kaiserkraft for the ovals and the clocks, the backing paper is also kaiserkraft, the coloured cardstock is stampin up Cherry cobbler with matching ribbon.  I have edged the oval with sahara sand and crumb cake in from stampin up and the lace and cameo is from somewhere from the craft room.

The perfectly vintage is from lili of the valley.  Hope you have a great weekend. xx

Mothers day class

Last weekend I held a few classes for mothers day, one for adults 2 for children.  The kids were all girls and were aged between 10 and 14, what a laugh they had and they all went home with a card and a little note book covered for their mums.  I snuck in a happy birthday shaker card as well to show the girls how versatile the paper is.

Here are some of my pics from the weekend.  We used Stampin up Falling in love designer papers with the love heart embossing folder.  

The card colours are: very vanilla, soft sky, blushing bride and sahara sand which match the patterns, varies embellishments and ribbons all from stampin up.  And the final picture was the end one of the kids sessions, took me a while to clean up :)

For this image I decided to go monochrome, I used 3 copics in the same colour family and 4 prismacolor pencils again in the same family.  The image is so detailed that I thought the simpler the better.  Was a challenge but Im happy with how it came out.  I haven't used any embellishments at all as wanted the focus purly on the image.  Thanks for stopping by, Lynsey xx

Scrappers Delights - Genie

For my monthly inspiration card I picked a pretty little genie, and it happened to co inside with the promotion so have a look at the side bar for the link to the shop.  I have coloured her with copics and prismacolors and used my favourite papers at the moment of stampin up falling in love.  The sentiment is liliofthevalley and punched out with stampin up punch.

Im loving the way to do this background, i coloured using copics in the same colours as the papers and then dropped alcohol over with a eye dropper, matches the bokeh.  Have a great day my crafty friends xx

Coloured with prismacolor pencils and copic markers.  I have used some stampin up card and kaiserkraft printed papers.  A big shot die and flowers are eBay.  Liquid pearls as emblishements and clear wink of stella which doesn't really photo well.

Scrappers Delights - DT Project - Need Hugs Giraffe

Giraffes have been in the news quite a lot lately with the live feed of the new baby so I thought I would make a giraffe theme card, my husbands cousin is having a baby boy so as soon as I saw this giraffe I had the image in my head of what I wanted to create. 

I have coloured him using copic markers and prismacolor pencils.  I have used a few stampin up products and some old kaiserkraft papers.  I would not normally put these colours together but really think they match the giraffe.  

I hate embellished with liquid pearls and a lilyofthevalley stamp, pushed out with stampin up punches.

Aurora Wings - Tempest

Wow this was a challenge, a ice wall??? Ok googled some images and hoped for the best.  This entire image was a challenge as so much background detail, it was for my husbands birthday and was always going to be a picture not a card.  I have coloured using nearly every single copic marker and prismacolor pencil I own.  I have used the metallic prisma pencils on the sword and a little bit of wink of stella in the snow.

I find I don't do many man themed but Mr 12 gave this the thumbs up for his dad :)

This is to show it in the man cave in the frame, not a good picture as the light is coming in the back window, I like him having his man cave as it gives me free run on all my hours of crafting ;)

Ching Chou-Kuik - Magic Wish

This lovely lady was a little bit of a experiment on mixing colours, going over blues with pale peaches and making a orangey peachy colour.  I loved the colour it came out as although may have been better to photograph on white background.  I was trying to match calypso coral from stampin up which is in the papers and card and ribbon.  All embellishments form eBay

Molly Harrison - Easter Fairy

For this card I have used no embellishments what so ever, very unusual for me but there is so much detail in the card I didn't want to loose that by adding anything else for your eye to draw to.  I had so much fun colouring this gorgeous rabbit and really practising my texture.  

I have coloured using copic markers and prismacolor pencils, which I have been loving to bring out some more depth in the colours.

After I had so much fun with the other steampunk image I had to have a go at the wing mechanisms on Dark Angel.  Such amazing detail.

I have coloured her in copics but I'm practising adding pencils (prismacolor) to deepen the effect.  I have added pencil to her face and to the blades and background.

I love these images from faeryink, they are so magical and fun to colour.  I also find the generosity of site owners who give freebies to followers the ultimate best because like most of us in life I have a limited craft budget.  

Lahla has been coloured using copics, and matching up to the colours of the kaiserkraft and stampin up papers.  The back paper has a very light music sheet pattern which is very romantic.  I have used embellishments for eBay which mach up to the colours lovely,  and inked the edges of the image to match the clouds on the backing papers, hope you like her xx

Hi there, as you can see from this card I have gone out of my safety zone by placing the image on a angle.  I have recently noticed that all my cards are very central or if to the side it is evenly done.

I have coloured her in using copics.  paper is kaiserkraft and stampin up card stock used and inks to edge the image.  Embellishments are a mix of stampin up and eBay.  I have used liquid pearls on the image and wink of stella for a few little sparkly highlights.

Hope you like her thanks for stopping by, Lynsey xx

Paper Nest Dolls - Chick Chick
http://thepapernestdolls.blogspot.com.au

Today I have the absolute pleasure to be guest designer for Paper Nest Dolls.  This is a family run business and all the hand drawn designs are based on the families 6 children.

This gorgeous young lady was a pleasure to colour and I really went to town with making sure I made her bright and fresh.

I have coloured her in using copic markers.  The embellishment is Liliofthevalley and a stampin up punch used along with the paper colours pink pirouette and bashful blue.  I had some bashful blue ribbon stashed away so used that as well.  The egg paper is from old stock and I made the egg in the background using a oval die and perfect plum paper.

The embellishments used are from local shops and the chicks have a touch of wink of stella along with all the love hearts in the picture.  

The second image I had the privilege of colouring is Bunny Girl, again she was coloured with copics.  This time I have gone for a shabby chic feel to the card which also has a detachable bookmark.



The papers are stampin up pear pizazz and blushing bride with matching ink pads along with soft suede.  The embelishemtns are locally sourced.  Close up on the bunny I have used glossy accents on his nose and the spots in his ears.  I used wink of stella in clear on his tale and the flowers on the egg.


Hope you like these images and the cards I have made, thanks for visiting, hugs, Lynsey xx

This gorgeous little lady was great fun to colour and as soon as I saw her I new what papers and style I wanted to use.  I was thinking vintage all the way.

The Paper Shelter - She Wolf

For those who know me would know how much I loved this image when I saw it.  My love of Native American culture came from me failing school and a teacher saying just read this...Bury my heart at wounded knee.  The book went flying across the room a few times but a love started.  I have never been to America...as yet...

I have kept this card very simple as felt it did not need bling embellishments of frills of any kind.  I googled the quote so apologise if it is incorrect.

Coloured with copics:

Skin - E31, 33, 35 Cheeks - R81, 83

Hair - E21, 25, 29 and B12

Wolf - W1, 3, 5, 7 and B12
