Three Colour Combinations for Green

Hi!
Helen here today.

As I had told you before I love to find and collect some older stamps.
This little guy is from a Swedish store and he was called "Sly dog" and came in many different situations.

As a friend of mine asked for a card for someone who graduated I thought of this fellow.
The receiver likes green so I picked some paper and started to colour some sly dogs.





As always I used Perfect Colouring Paper and stamped my images with a Memento Ink Pad.

My first layer of the body: G00

Body: G02 - G16 -G R02 - R11 - T1 - T3
Eyes: B000
Glasses: V000
Book: E40 - E41 - V04

First layer of the body: YG13

Second layer of the body: YG17

Third layer of the body: YG63 - 

Cheeks: R11
Eyes: B000
Glasses: E41
Book: BG0000 - BG000  - BG01 - R24 (later)

First layer of the body: YG0000

Second layer of the body: YG01

Third layer of the body: YG03

Cheeks: R02
Eyes: B000 - B00
Glasses: B0000
Shadow: T3

I filled in the shadows with Black 100.

Hope you colour something green today!
See you next time!
Love
Helen

A Bright Birthday Card with Flowers and Fairies

Good morning,

How are you doing?

Today I would like to share my bright birthday card with flowers and fairies.

These sweet stamps are from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, the flowers are from the set love bugs, the fairies are from the set fairy folk and the sentiment from party time sentiments.

I have used some wicked black hybrid ink to stamp some of the flowers onto perfect colouring paper.

The first centre flower was coloured with R 81, R 83, R 85, R 89

The right flower was coloured with RV 02, RV 04, RV 09

And later I have also added some R 39 for some more contrast

The left flower was coloured with R 02, R 05, R 17, R 59

The flower buds were coloured with Y 35, Y 38, YR 18

The petals of the  flowers are coloured.

Now I have stamped two fairies with wicked black hybrid ink.

The skin of the fairies was coloured with YR 000, YR 00, E 97, E 99, R 20, R 22

The dress of the right fairy was coloured with BV 00, Y 02, Y 15, Y 18

The hair of the fairy on the right was coloured with V 04, BV 08, BV 29

The dress of the left fairy was coloured with YG 00, YG 03, YG 95

Her necklace with V 04, BV 08

The hair of the left fairy was coloured with Y 35, Y 38, YR 18

The sky was coloured with B 000, B 00, B 12, B 05

On the wings I have added some glossy accents and when it was dry I have also added some little dots with a white gelly roll pen.

A happy birthday sentiment and some other layers of coloured paper to finish the card..

The "pearls" were made with some dreamy drops from Nuvo in the colour fairy wings :).

The slimline dies are from the new Crealies collection..

I hope I have inspired you to try some of these cheery Copic combos. 

Thanks for your visit see you next month!

Wryn Rock Slimline Shaker Card

Hi all,

Are you ready for a new post?

Today I am showing my new slimline shaker card with this fun digital stamp from Tiddly Inks, called Wryn the rocker.

I have printed the digi onto Perfect Colouring paper and have started colouring...

inspired by my own little rocker in the house.

Skin : E00, E11, E04, R20, R22

Hair : YR21, YR12, E23, E57, E59

Skirt : B05, B28, B39

Shirt& stockings : BG23, BG49, BG78

Boots : E29, E18, E08

Guitar : E97, E99, N8, N10

The image was ready to be fussy cut ...

Behind the image I have added a rotating mechanism. This die is fun as you do not have anything popping out on the other side 

 Time to assemble to whole card..

I have cut a piece of white cardstock (17 x 21cm) and scored it on 8.5 cm to create the card base .

The slimline die was cut twice, one time out of special cardstock, and one time out of foam.

I have put a piece of acetate in between ..in this way the shaker was easy to create.

I have passed  a anti static pouch onto the acetate ..just to make sure not everything sticks to the acetate.

Slim postage die : Whimsy 

Musical notes : Marianne Design

Letters : I -crafters 

Stitched rectangle : MFT 

Rotating mechanism : Impronte D'autore 

When you move the shaker, the mini pearls and mini musical notes diecuts will move..

And if you touch the coloured image it seems she is a real rocker that moves forward and backwards.

The letters were cut out of blue green foam and black card stock.

Hope you have enjoyed my "rocker" post..see you next post! 

Thanks for visiting the blog.

Anti stress Copic colouring with Blankina

Hello all Copic friends,

How are you? Hope fine...

Today I have a little tutorial for you: anti stress Copic colouring.

We all have stress and I have this nice and colourful way to relax, I call it anti-stress Copic Colouring. Simple and fun to do.

I have started with a sheet of Perfect Colouring paper (A4) and a pencil

And have started to  draw lines without thinking.....

Later I have  covered these lines with various Copic multiliners.

Suggestion :

Before adding Copic colouring you can still erase the pencil lines,

when you add colours with your Copic pencil lines will NOT erase anymore.

Are you curious how I have made the design?

I have used these colours ...

Please watch this little video below and discover all steps

I can highly recommend this anti stress colouring, it does help to relax and in the end you also have a colourful drawing... This can be framed or used as a cover for example. 

When you use a smaller pieces of PCP you can also make lovely cards  with these anti stress drawings. 

This is a unfinished piece of my drawing. You can see the completed design in the video !!

Copic :

Multiliner black 0.3

Multiliner black 0.5 

Multiliner calligraphy M

B02, B05, B18, B23, B24, B28, B29, B39

BG13, BG23, BG34, BG49, BG72, BG93, BG96
