A Quick Card using Make it Crafty Precoloured Digi & Chippies

As you all know I'm a colourer at heart so the thought of using a precoloured digi is a bit strange for me, but as a 'print and cut' teamed with chippies they're perfect for a quick and easy card - so I decided to have a play.

This is Christmas Angel. I used the coloured version & the SVG cutting file to quickly & accurately print & cut her out on my Silver Bullet Cutting Machine. If you want to see a short video on how I did it have a peek here.

I teamed Christmas Angel with three pieces of Make it Crafty Chipboard

- Delicate Ornate Rectangle Frame coloured with gold Krylon pen (I would have used embossing powder, but it turns out all of mine is packed away in storage),

- Wishes which I coloured with Copics & Wink of Stella & then finished with Glossy Accents

- Christmas from the Christmas Adapt-a-Word set which I coloured with my R27 Copic & Wink of Stella & finished with Glossy Accents.

I love the real pop of dimension and detail the chippies give you.

Here's a close up of Christmas Angel. 

I love colouring, but can see me using the precoloured digis too.

Elphaba with Broom from Make it Crafty

I decided to break away from my normal style and have a play with patterned papers. Now patterned papers normally bring me out in a slight sweat. I seem to collect them, but find it hard to use them - so I decided to be brave and go for it.

I'm totally in love with Elphaba. For some reason I didn't get her when she was first out, so I'm delighted that she's become available again through Make It Crafty. There's just something about her expression that I love. It made me think of her as a student witch who's finding it a little tricky to learn all her spells so I layered her up with papers from the Echo Park Paper & Glue digi paper pack.

I cut Elphaba with Broom out on my Silver Bullet cutting machine using the SVG cut files that Zoe from Make it Crafty has provided with the digi. If you want to see how I did this have a peek at the short video I made.

I typed my sentiment and embellished it with some Sakura Stardust pen & a few layers of Sakura Clear Glaze pen.
