Ice Princess Copic Coloring

 For the card set and tag above I used Copic Markers to color the MFT Ice Princess stamp.  Below is  a step out of that coloring.  I chose my colors from my patterned paper and then used my swatch ring "ring of fire" to match it to markers.

Hopefully this all is as clear as mud.  These step outs are a work in progress for me.

 The skirt is stamped and cut out from patterned paper.

The only thing I did not include are the skates I added a little W1 to the skates and C0 to the blades.  They barely requried coloring.  The shadows on the complete images are done with B0000 and C0.  

Hopefully this was helpful to someone.  Have a great day.

Thank You Miss Bailey

Miss Bailey was so kind to give Abbi the help she needed in her Ice Skating lessons to help her pass on to Level 5.  We are so proud of Abs for how hard she worked to get her turns and cross overs.

I used the Ice Princess stamp from My Favorite Things and made a set of note cards with this adorable tag for Bailey.   I guessed that purple was her favorite color based on her blade guards.  Hope I was was right everything is very purple.  I cut out her name from Mirror Card the Memory Box Die Set Parker Upper and Lower.  The paper is Memory Box.   I also used the Snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder.   I am almost sure the stamps and dies came from our LSS Craft Fancy of course.

I know I've been a bit MIA lately.  But I swear I have been working hard I have lots of photos to edit and share of all of my recent projects I am just working through them.  One of the step outs I have is the coloring of these cards with the Copic Markers.  I have also finished all of my custom orders and have pictures to share.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Fab 5 Holiday Cards - Day 1

 Starting this series with a little resist technique.  Love love this Snowy Pine Landscape by Memory Box.

 Supplies Used.

 New in the store is Eclipse Tape got to use mine for this card.  Soooooo Excited!

After Stamping the image and masking it off I added some resist with a Clear Glaze Pen.   I then brayered on Iced Spruce Distress ink by making an ink pallet on the craft sheet.   I did use a sponge to pick up the remaining color on my craft sheet.

 I wiped away any remaining ink with a dry paper towel.  Then stamped my words from a Stampin Up Set called Hand Penned Holidays.

Once that was done I cut down the image and embossed a card front with the Polka Dots Embossing folder.  I attached the image to the embossed piece with foam tape and adhered it all to the card.  I then added ribbon.  

Love how it turned out.  Crisp and clean.

April Showers Challenge & D.B. Cooper

So this is my last challenge for awhile.  I've been having a great time but now it's time to get serious about class samples and break outs!  Wait till you see what I have in store for Copic classes this month!  WOOOOOOT!!!!!  Ok enough about that.  For the challenge over at the Creative Card Crew the theme was April Showers so we can see some May Flowers!  I'm all for that.  So I created the card below:

So I used some new Echo park papers and a few Spellbinders dies along with some SU punches.  The ribbon is PTI.  The stamp is a Unity Stamp * Rain or Shine.   I also added some stickles at the end.  Image Colored with Copic Colors are as follows  Umbrella R02, R05 & R08 - Dress YG03 & YG05 - Skin E000 & E01 - Rain Boots  Y02 & Y06 - Mans shirt C5 & C7 - Jeans B93, B95 & B97 - Boots E35 & E37 - Rain BG10 & C1

So on to more odd stories from our household.  I know I've mentioned this before but my 10 year old daughter is completely obsessed with the D.B. Cooper legend and mystery.  She was watching yet another history channel program on him this week right about the time they were assigned an invitation to research and write about for an end of year expository writing essay and dimensional project.  So she was very quick to get approval to do her invitation on D.B. Cooper before someone else in her class snatched him up.... Cracks me up because how many 10 year olds know about this legendary criminal? Ex. One of her best friends is trying to find a book on the Black Eyed Peas so she can do hers on the band, mainly Fergie because she's a big fan.   So tonight began the research into D.B. Cooper and the search for a suit coat and tie for her to wear(because that's what he was wearing when he jumped out of the plane).   This weekend begins the treck to the big library to find all the books she can.  And much like the Cival War we will learn and know much more than most would want to about D.B. Cooper.  At least she didn't want to do it on Ghost Hunters that's her current favorite TV Show EEEEK......

Thanks for stopping by hope your having a splendid week.

Just Batty

  So when Spellbinders came out with this Bat Die I fell in love.   I adored the mobile in their booth at CHA and that image got stuck in my head.    Then that image got stuck in my head!  When the die came into the store I put it in my pile to by, I took it out.  I looked at it for a couple of weeks adding it and taking it out of my basket.  Then Margie the brilliant made a lovely bat banner for the Spellbinders blog and I was hooked!   I had to have it.  So here is my first creation with this fabulous die.  I'm excited and I have lots of ideas for it.  And maybe I'll have time to make my own mobile.    I love how my modified Iris Folding came out.   Very Spooooooky!  

We had another beautiful day today fresh and sunny and just a little crisp in the morning.  Couldn't ask for better.  This evening though I am struggling with a plan for dinner.  I have no idea what to fix.   Nothing jumps out at me and my entire new issue of Bon Appetite and nothing said make me for dinner tonight.  I think it's too nice outside when all the food around me is screaming Fall.   

Hope everyone is having a great day!

All Done

These are for our friend Lauren.  I've been helping her put together her save the date cards for her wedding.  I only did a small portion.  The  Palm Trees, airbrushing and FlowerSoft sand along the bottom.  She and her Mom are going ot finiish them up.  She's getting married on the beach at sunset thus the scene.

Completed Bleach Cards

Here is the completed  Bleach Card from the Thursday CARS swap meeting.  I just added some twine and a greeting stamped in green.  I like how graphic they are.

Last Night

I started my Bleach Cards for the CARS swap at CraftFancy.  I had a hard time with this one I didn't want to do the same as everyone else and I really liked the Swipe Technique.  So I changed it around a little and did it on top of embossed cardstock.  It turned out pretty cool I just need to add a greeting and it will all be golden.  16 cards done!   I need to make some Thanks Yous as well.  Getting started on that!

Ok back to work!  Have a great day!
