Sneaky Taste

 Hi!
Helen here today.
Hope you have had a great summer. We can now just relax and enjoy some colouring without feeling guilty for not spending the time outside in the sun.

I spent some time colouring this little guy, Sneaky taste by Nellie Snellen. I really don´t have any trouble with older stamps. I don´t need the latest released. If the image is cute and nicely drawn it really doesn´t matter. I colour images that talks to me, touch my heart.

I started by stamping my image on to some Perfect Colouring Paper and used Memento Ink pad.
It´s a clear stamp and it´s not the best quality, it´s little softer and if you press to hard it might end up as it did for me with some thicker lines as in his face but I thought that when I had coloured the whole image it wouldn´t show as much as in the beginning.

My first layer for the skin: E000

The shadows for the skin: BV20

Ontop of the shadow I added a new layer: E11
And for the cheeks, belly botton, knees and elbows I used: R02

To blend everything I went in with: E50 and R00

The cake: E41 - E43 - E44 - E42

The cherry: R24 - R59
Icing: B00 - B000

The cake dish: Y21 - YR21 - YR24 - Y26 - T3

Linen: BG10 - BG11 - BG23
Filling: R81 - R85

Knickers: BG70 - BG72 - BG75
I feel that theese shades are fare from each other so I use tip to tip method when I colour with them.

Flower: R00 - R81 - R85 

Hair: E40 - E42 - E43 - E44

And the most important, the shadows to groud the object: 
W00 - W1 - W3 - W5

Look at the picture abowe and you´ll see how the objects just floats on the paper,

before you put in the shadows your eye doesn´t have anything that tell you anything about how high abowe the gound the object is.

You don´t need to have a perfect shaped shadow, just the illusion will take you far!

Some highlights added with a Gelly Roll White Dark pen.

I hope I have inspired you to make some colouring of your own today.
Have a nice day!
Love
Helen.

CAS Airbrushing

Hello everyone! It's Delphine here today to share a CAS card with simple airbrushing. I love the look you get with the airbrush and it is a nice simple way to add colour to your backgrounds. 

I used an image (and sentiment) from the MFT Beary Special Birthday stamp set which I coloured with my Copics then cut out. I cut a rectangle the size of an ATC because it's a format I like and airbrushed it using different Copics starting from the bottom of the rectangle. I then put my image and sentiment on foam squares for a bit of dimension and added a few Papermania Dots. 

Bear: E25, 27, 29, 40, 41, 42, 43, R20

Red: R35, 37, 39, 89, T5

Gold: E33, Y11, 21, 26

Background: Y15, YG05, YR61, V04

Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,

Carousel

Hello everyone!

It's Vili here today and I want to show you one of my most favourite things connected to the childhood and to which I still feel a special gentleness.
The circus theme makes me turn back in time and surround myself with merry-go-rounds and ice-cream.
Maybe for this reason or maybe because of the colourful paper block,
while making a card for one little sweetie, who will turn 5 soon,
I was so inspired I decided to surprise her with one more pied subject.
So, because I wanted everything to be finished and full, I decorated a box, too, where the wonderment will be put.
The natural choice of stamp was Fair Carousel, combinated with Make It Crafty's Frenchie Claudine.
Of course, everything had to be childishly colourful and enjoyable,
so I prefered a combination of bright pink, red, and light blue, with some white accents added.
Here is what I got:

This is the card for the little pumpkin:

And that is what is hiding in the box:

I decided to surpise the birthday girl with an album,
where to put all the photos from the birthday party:

This time I changed my usual decorations - in the end of the edge I put a band of balls,
I thread some hearts on a leather tape and find a place for one really nice clown:

 

The album has 12 inner pages and its size is 21 to 21 cm.
I added a big pocket and 12 more carton pages, where, besides photos to be put,
a description can be added, too.

And this is the whole set fot the little princess:

These are the B-Day invitations which I made to look as curcus tickets:

Copics used:

Skin: E11, E50, E51
Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47, E49 

Dress: BG10, BG53, BG75, BG78, W0, W3, W5
Icecream: E31, E33, E35, E37, E49, R32, R35, R37, R59, R81, R83, R85, R89
Carousel: R32, R35, R37, R59, R81, R83, R85, R89,
BG10, BG53, BG75, BG78, W0, W3, W5

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!
