Christmas Angel

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today with some Christmas inspiration - yes, it is just around the corner now!!

For today's card, I have used an adorable image by Make it Crafty called Angel and Cherub (it comes as 2 images that you can use separately). I resized and cropped my image in MS Word, printed it and coloured it on my piece of paper without cutting it.

I wanted to make my image pop so I decided to create a flashy pink background and used blue on my image. 

I started with the background, coloured making quick circles in RV25 - we are not aiming at having a smooth blended background here - a technique I learned from Zoe at Make it Crafty. 

I then coloured the skin of my angel, using E000, 00, 11 and 71 for the shadows. I also added a bit of R20 for the cheeks and used B63, BG01, 000 for the eyes. 

For the clothes, I used B02, 04, 16, 37, 39.

I then coloured the hair in E59, 25, YR23 (in that order) and coloured the halo in Y11, 26, E57, and the wings in B63, BG000 and a touch of V000. 

To add even more depth to my image, I used my Polychromo pencils on the hair, bow and clothes. I then cut my image and went around the edges with a blending tool and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.  

I thought I would add some details to the background, so I stamped a few leaves and the word JOY with a Marianne's Designs alphabet set in black ink. To brighten things a bit, I did some doodling with a white gel pen. And voilà! 

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 71, R20

Hair: E25, 59, YR23

Eyes: B63, BG000, 01

Clothes: B02, 04, 16, 37, 39

Wings: B63, BG000, V000

Halo: E57, Y11, 26

Thank you very much for your visit, have a wonderful Christmas everyone! Hugs,

Trios of Various Ink cards, no stamps required

Hi Copic friends,

Today I have three different cards for you.

Made with the same technique but different styles of cards and colours.

No stampes required :) 

I have used YUPO paper for the background with Various Ink.

Various Inks ( refills ) are not only to fill your dry Copic markers,

there are many other fun ways to use them.

For this technique, fluid art,

you will need several Various Ink colours including the blender "0",

a straw and a dropper. 

The straw is to blow the wet various ink on the YUPO paper

to make the ink flow.

 The dropper to let drops of blender fall onto the ink to create fun effects.

GREY CARD

Okay my first card, the grey card was made with:

VARIOUS INK :"0" ,W00, W 3, B 000 , 

fab foil gold, 

a Krafty Kimmie stencil, decoglass volume : moon dust,

you can follow my photos to get an idea of the process, 

I have started with W00

afterwards with W 3 and blender "0"

and B 0000

Adding some gold too ,with the fab foil,

just rub the foil unto the background ( over the sticky bits ) .

The Golden side of the foil must be facing up.

I have die cut the reindeer from the background,

to the die cut reindeer I have added two layers of white foam sheets to 

give a 3 d effect. Then I have glued it into the die cut space.
