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!

A special mixed media gift midori & card

Hi all Copic friends,

How are you?

Here in Italy we still have to stay at home so I have done a lot of colouring lately :) 

and have tried new things too. Today I show you one of these "new"  things.

I have a fun die from Studiolight to make booklets/album or midori, instead of leather for the cover  I wanted to try something different .

So I have used the Transotype Synthetic Paper !!

With the die I have cut the shape

+

On the TSP I have used a pretty butterfly stencil from Kraftin Kimmie and with a spatula I have added some glitterpaste. ( Ferrario -  malta glitter iridescent ).

After drying I have played around with some Various inks ( refills ), just let drops of ink and blender fall on the TSP  and with a little tool I have blow the ink. You could also use a hairdryer ( cool air ).

this was the result

When everything was dry I have added some paper on the outside and inside, ribbons and an elastic cord to keep everthing together.

It almost looks like a little purse , doesn't it? 

Please watch the video to see the rest....

Sweet November "thanks" card with 3d elements

Hi all Copic friends,

Today I have prepared a "thanks" card,

with some 3d elements.

I dedicate this card also to all kind readers of this blog.

(and people that leave comments, it is always nice to get feedback) 

Are you ready ? Please sit down and relax watching.

Here we go!

To start I have printed the digi with the fairy twice.

This was an exclusive digi designed by Amy Young (not only an excellent colorist).

 I have also cut a sheet of Perfect Colouring Paper with a ticket die.

 (this will become the background).

Now I have put the die cut piece of PCP onto my stamping tool, 

and the hand cut fairy was put on to that piece of paper with some magnets.

Now I have stamped my clear stamp with some little toadstools

 onto the paper with fairy with grey ink.

On the wings of the fairy some small details of the toadstools will show with grey ink.

Once the fairy was taken off the sheet I have repeated to stamp the toadstools but now with black ink.

In this way you will have a black version on the sheet

 and a grey version on her wings to make the wings look transparent.

One fairy was hand cut in one piece.

Okay now it is time to take the second fairy and cut just some pieces of the fairy.

(the pieces you want to lift later , to create a 3d effect).

I have chosen her arm attached to her head as one piece,

and a piece of her skirt.

You can put these pieces aside until later.

I have first started to colour the background.

The toadstools were coloured with the november colours 

E 37, R 37 and G 99.

I have seen these colours on the american Copic site.

I have also coloured the cloudy sky,

 using B 21 and B 23, C 2 and C0 and the blender.

In the wings I have used the lighter colours B 21 and C 0 in this way the wings seem to be transparent.

The same with the toadstools in the wings I have chosen not to use the brown but only red.

The grass was coloured with G 94 and G 99.

Time to colour her face, 

of course I will only completely colour the separate face that will be layered on top. 

The face of the complete fairy will only get some colour on the edges.

skin : E 00, E 11, E 13, E 95, E 04

Green eyes with YG 91 and YG 95

Now it is time for her dress,

again you have to colour the pieces that will be on the top layer only.

Here you can see her arm, the top piece of her shirt and the "skirt",

the lower pieces will only get some colour on the edges.

Love these colours from the YR family : YR 23, YR 24, YR 27

and for a dark shading I have used E 18.

The wings got some YR 23 on top of the sky and toadstools,

after I have added some deco glass pasta "moondust" with a pencil to the wings.

Under the skirt I have added some small foam pads and glued it to the fairy.

Here you can see that the fairy is not flat.

I have attached some foam pads under the "skirt",

some on the right side of her head and on her left shoulder,

the hand was glued onto the lower hand.

I have also coloured her hair with

E 23, E 25, E 47, E 49

this was a suggestion of Amy the designer of this cutie.

The dots of the toadstools and her hair decoration got some extra sparkle,

on top of the glue I have added some glitter.

Later I have decided to give an extra sparkle to the wings too.

Thanks, Grazie, Bedankt !
