Connie Fong - Bella with gift.

Hi everyone, today I am showing you the adorable little Bella with gift from Connie Fong, this images a free one from her Facebook group.  I have coloured using copic markers, and set on a kaiserkraft DSP background.  I have used stampin up cardstock in calypso coral and mint macaron, along with the doily and sequins.  The flowers are from a box I found in the craft room.  I have used liquid pearls on the heart and wink of stella on the bows which never photographs well.

Have a lovely week my crafty friends, Love Lynsey xx

Ching-Chou Kuik - Magic Wish

Hi everyone, I started colouring this image with copics, just on her face and then thought I wanted to take it a little darker so stayed in monotone for the whole image.  I really like how it turned out with the purple/silver style.  The cardstock is kaiserkraft and the card colour is stampin up wisteria wonder (R) and basic black.

The ribbon and sequin trim are from my local spotlight.  Again, lots of wink of stella in her hair and on the tale, and liquid pearls used.

Have a lovely day my crafty friends, Lynsey xx

Little Miss Muffet - Customer appreciation Day - Robins Mailbox

Hi guys, I had the pleasure of being a guest designer for the little miss muffet challenge blog for their customer appreciation day.  

I have coloured the image using copic markers but did a little twist and didn't colour the robin in the red traditional coloured but brought in a touch of yellow.

The card is stamping up granny green apple and highland heather.  The DSP and ribbon are kaiserkraft. There is a lot of wink of stella which never photographs well and i have used liquid pearls for the flowers.

You can grab the image here...Robin's Mailbox

Happy Friday my crafty friends, Lynsey xx

Di's Digi - Merry Mice

I am clearly making a start this year on my Christmas cards, using loads of supplies from the craft room up as well.  Today I have coloured these adorable mice using copic markers.  I have added wink of stella to the lanters and the mice's faces where snow would be melting and used glossy accents on the ground to show melted snow.  The snow added is white gel pen.  

The papers are last years stampin up DSP with garden greens and cherry cobbler card.  Stampin up basic black ribbon and embellishments from some hidden cupboard.

Have a great day my lovely crafters, Lynsey xx

Cute as a Button - New years eve

Hi everyone, I actually coloured this image up quite a while ago but was really confused as what to do with the background, that is until my friend posted a picture with a image on where she had used the stampin up star stamp and then I realised what I wanted to do, achieving it was another issue, but the idea came together and Im quite happy with it.

Coloured all in copic markers, I have used the alcohol drop technique on the background with the mentioned stamp and loads of wink of stella in her hair etc.  Glossy accents attached to her eyes, lips and champers.

Lace and sequins from spotlight, kaiserkraft silver paper and stamping up real red and basic black card used.

Thanks again Louise ;)

Cute As A Button - Kindergarten

Hi everyone, this was my card for the Cute as a button Facebook progressive challenge.  She's sooo cute, I have coloured her in copic markers, and used glossy accents on her shoes and eyes and the penguins eyes.  I have coloured her ribbon and the penguins tummy with wink of stella.

I have used stampin up cardstock in whisper white and bashful blue (R) and some old retired DSP.  The die is from kaiserkraft and the ribbon kaszazz.  The buttons are found in my craft room.

The sentiment is Liliofthevalley and the punches used to border are stampin up (R).

Thanks for having a look, have a lovely weekend my crafty friends.  Lynsey xx

Aurora Wings - Pansy

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you Pansy by Aurora Wings, I have coloured this a couple of times and its always a favourite when Im looking for a feminine card.  I have matched my copic colours to the paper colours which is a kaiserkarft DSP.  I have used stampin up Sahara Sand and Mint Macaron as the base colours.  The brad is a retired SU and the lace and liquid pearls from spotlight.  

There is a touch of wink of stella in he butterfly and centre of the pansy which never photographs well. 

Have a lovely week my crafty friends, xxx

Paper Nest Dolls - Nurse Emma with Teddy

Hi everyone, for my design team project this month I decided to use this adorable little image as I was asked by a lovely friend of mine to make a card for the staff at the nursing home who looked after her father.  The family is all white blonde so that decided on my colour scheme instantly.

I have coloured with copics, and used stampin up cardstock in blushing bride and baja breeze (R) with kasierkraft DSP.  I had added white gel pen as the accents, some brad from old stock and lace.  There is wink of stella on her hat and the bears heart which never photographs well and glossy accents on the bears nose and eyes and Nurse Emmas eyes. 

You can pick up the image here on the link.


Have a lovely week my crafting friends, Lynsey xx

Tiddly Inks - The honeymooners

Hi my crafty friends, today I want to show you this picture I made using Tiddly Inks the honeymooners, I have coloured this image using the kit and clowder July markers colouring class and it was perfect to make it into a present for my friends wedding.

I have coloured using copic markers with a hint of wink of stella in the flowers on the car and the ladies hair.  The colour scheme of orange and blue was the colours for the wedding and I had to sneak in their names and wedding date in the number plate.  The purple jacaranda was purposely picked as purple is my friends favourite colour.

At the actual wedding we were getting other guests to sign the edges of the frame but I never managed to get a picture of it.  The frame is from spotlight.

I had so much fun with this, hope you like it too my lovey friends 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.

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:
