Spring Colours with Scrappers Delight

It's time for a new challenge at Through the Purple Haze Challenges.

This month we're sponsored by Scrapper's Delights and I had the lovely Summer Breeze to play with. I keep the card clean and simple while sticking to the theme of Spring Colours

I added some colour to the sentiment from Stampin Up and finished it with Sakura Glaze pen to give it some dimension.

I coloured Summer Breeze  with my Copics.

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 with R20 Cheeks

A Scrappers Delight Tag

The theme this week at Through the Purple Haze Challenges is 'Use a Tag'. Rather than just use a tag I decided to make a whole tag so I could decorate both sides.

I used Painter Honey and Craft Room Table from our sponsors Scrappers Delights to make this Tag.

Here's the back (the sentiment comes with the Crafty Honeys)

Here's a close up.

I coloured her with my Copics.

Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - E23. E27. E29

Dress - B63, B66, B69, B99

Socks - C1. C3

Craft Room Desk - E33, E35, E37

The Words are coloured in

B63, B66, B69

RV53, RV55, RV19

I cut the 5 layers of tags and edged the biggest with B66 front and back, 

the two middle sized ones with RV55, 

added some coordinating ribbon and fibres and the tag was finished.

I hope you like it. 

Something for my Craft Room

Every so often I move away from card making and make something a little different. 

This week I made this framed picture to hang on the wall of my craft room.

The images are three digis from Scrappers Delights who are sponsoring our challenge at Digi Galore this fortnight. 

Using Craft Artist 2 I merged

Craft Honeys Scissors

Craft Honeys Painter

Craft Honeys Glue Gun

The three girls took ages to colour, but I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I was trying to follow the hair tips given in Kit and Clowder's Hair and Skin Class. I didn't get the skin right, but I'm pleased with their hair.

 The sentiment came with Craft Honeys Scissors. I coloured the letters with my copics trying to give them some depth and dimension. I added stickles to give a touch of sparkle - cos every craft room needs sparkle.

Here are the girls in close up.

First play with my Copics!

I've been a very very lucky girl and was offered a mega bunch of Copics at such an amazing price that I couldn't refuse! Don't get me wrong I love my Promarkers to bits, but this was an offer I couldn't refuse. 

This is my first card made with Copic colouring. I did a little bit of hair and skin practice and then dived straight into this card for this week's Through the Purple Haze Challenge. The Challenge is to make a card that suits the song we've got on the challenge page. I chose the line 'B - You're so Beautiful' and made this card with Anna-Mae School Girl 2 from our sponsors Scrappers Delight.

The card base design is a free cut file Deep Edge Card 8 from Birds Cards. I altered it slightly to make it a square base so I had room for Anna-Mae School Girl 2.

Here's a close up of the cut detail. I threaded the ribbon through the slots and tied it in a bow.

I'm really pleased with this as my first attempt at Copic colouring. 

I found they blended really easily and have small steps between the 

colours in the colour family so shading is easy.

Here's a close up.

I used these Copics:

Skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E04 with R20 Cheeks

Hair - E33, E35, E59, E49

Top - R24, R27, R29, R59

Skirt - B63, B66, B69, B79, BV29

Boots - E30, E31, E33, E35

Edging - B32

I've got some more practicing to do (oh the hardship!!! :P ), but I'm so pleased so far.

Hope you like her x
