To You from Me

I wanted to post this yesterday but.... when you spill beverage over your computer you can be certain that the majority of your keys will not type properly. Which also means I am unable to type my name, or a sentence or reply to comments or write an email! It is soooooo frustrating to use everything but the letters, it was like losing a limb! Well it's still lost as I'm using OH laptop, it doesn't have any cool stuff on like photoshop or anything urgh!

I have been eager to use this adorable image ginger fairy by the very talented Amy. She's been coloured with copics, I went for very soft colours, using the palette from PDCC colours. Then I have sprayed a very generous amount of glimmer mist over her so she proper sparkles tee hee! I have created a fun fold using on the edge die and followed the get sketchy sketch!

CA&F ~ Saturday Sketch with the Beatles

This is my second post today so please scroll down for my Basic Grey challenges card

Over at Club Anya & Friends it's Saturday sketch time!

Pam has designed a wonderful sketch for us this week, Although my easel card is very dimensional you should be able to make out the sketch in the back panel.

So I had started these figures when it was Rockin rebel time but never got the chance to finish them and as Father's day is just round the corner I thought it would fit in nicely! I have altered Ian from the New parents stamps set, inspired by awesome duos fabulous hair... although his is a scale smaller. Then combined with rockin Anya and her guitar and Ringo had to have a drum set of course! I even managed to give Paul his left handed guitar too!

To keep the two figures in front of the easel I have made two acetate cubes that flatten to get the card into an envelope. They need a little fixing but it generally works!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: DCWV: rockstar stack; acetate;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: new parents; rockin Anya; awesome duo; Anya says; drummerboy;

Ink: Memento & printer: black; Copic: markers*; 

Dies: Spellbinders nestabilities: circles; Quickutz: tattoo;

Other: 3D foam;

*Skin: E000, 11, 13 Outfit: 100, I can't remember the exact colours, as it was a little while ago.

Thanks for stopping by have a wonderfully rockin creative weekend, HuGs Kim :)

  

Basic Grey Challenges 22 ~ Colour Combo #6

Good Morning, today we have a new challenge on Basic Grey Challenges... a gorgeous colour combo by our lovely Heather. Pop over to see the amazing cards from my DT friends :)

I have had this amazing image un-inked for some weeks now and only got to colour her in, she is beautiful! I have coloured her with my copics and tried to keep to the BG colour combo but think the butterfly chose to be pink tee hee! The background I've been wanting to try since I saw Traci's pretty card, mine's very dark and some of the vines are lost too! 

I have applied dots of liquid pearls over the bubbles on the image, they give a raised pearly texture. I have painted over the whole image with a generous amount of crackle paint, now she reminds me of the old paintings!

Ok!!! the felt flower, I knew I HAD to have this die, it was on my wish list for a while then I spotted it over at craftydevils and could not wait!!! I love it I think you will see many many cards with this one somewhere LOL!

Wild Card Wednesday ~ Shrinky Clip Board Magnets

Hello, today is Wild Card Wednesday over at Club Anya & Friends and I thought I would make something a little different from the usual card... but still use the wonderful sketch by the fabulous Kelly!!!

These little clipboards have pockets in, thought I might want to send them a dinky little note or remember something special for them to keep in there (haven't got to that bit yet and it's not like Maoleidigh can read yet... she certainly tries though, bless her!)

Of course I HAD to do a boy for Dillon and girly for Maoleidigh! Loving Tim's patterned papers, great blues and pinks, the prints remind me of photographs somehow, so fab!!!

I wanted to show the close up of my little experimenting tee hee! I have glued the lace and string in place, then applied a generous amount of clear crackle rock candy. Just LOVE the encased look and it keeps it a little more child friendly too.

Now for the main images I have die cut the frosted shrink plastic from the largest oval nestie. I stamped the wonderful Oliver & Amelia onto the shiny side of the plastic, heat to shrink and coloured the frosted back with my copics, they do bleed a little (also tricky to see where your going) and some parts are messy. it changes with the angle too! I have glued the finished piece onto white card to show the colours!

To finish the back I like to punch little circles to allow for the magnets. Then attached the clip to the top!!!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Tim Holtz: Shabby Chic; Shrink plastic: frosted;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: OA - my favorite thing; happy day;

Ink: Archival: black; Copic: markers; Adirondack: paint dabbers;

Dies: Spellbinder's nestabilities: ovals; Sizzix: clipboard & holder;
