Copic Colour Challenge No 12

This is my entry for Copic Challenge No 12. Why don't you pop over and see what the Challenge is all about. The designers have made some brill cards and well worth a look. The three colours that we should use this week areWell, I had RO 2 Flesh so that was okay. I really need more of these copics and, worse yet, my son who is doing A Level Art has started using them! I shall have to hide them....

My image is of Tilda layered on some free paper (I think from DoCrafts). I really love the swirls and tried to emphasise them with sparkling embossing powder - in fact, went a bit wild this week with the sparkling stuff, not sure it has come through on the photo though. I used the same colours on the flowers to try and bring it all together.

Really had a fun time this week.

Photo Tag Book

I had seen these Tag Books and straight away I knew I just had to do one, my friend's daughter's birthday was the ideal occasion. All my inspiration came from Hayley, whose Tag Books are fabulous.



Some of the images are Tilda stamps, coloured in with my Whispers brushstrokes and cut out. The other girl images are Sarah Kay found on this website here. I printed them off and found a super tip off another site about "staying" the ink - just give a light spray of hairspray and the ink won't bleed when colouring in!

I used my Silhouette to cut the template book and to cut out all my papers and tags and for the text. The backing papers were mainly from the Papermania Scrumptions pack.

I loved making the book and can't wait to do another one, or something similar...

Easter Tilda

Three more cards made at Sir Stampalot on Tuesday evening. Actually, I only managed to make two on the night, and finished off the third one at home. It was a really good evening.

The class was held by Kate and rather than stamping and colouring in the image, we stamped it and then cut it out and paper pieced the image. It was very time consuming but I think it definitely gives a different aspect to the card.
