another christmas card...

  You may remember last month I was mentioning that I have decided to make a start on my Christmas cards. Well although I have not progressed as much as I would like I have managed to create a new Christmas card to share with you today..

I just adore these Elves from Make it Crafty they are super cute and just so much fun to colour. I cut him out and  then I 3D mounted him onto the card.

Once again a very simple card but that seems to be my style at the moment!

So I have used:

MIC PRODUCT - Zippy Digi Stamp

Copic Makers -

Browns - E35, E33, E31,E29, E17, E18 & E19

Reds - R08, R14

Greens - G08, YG41 and pencils. 

Skin tones are my normal E00, E21, E11 & R20

So that is it from me today....I hope I have encouraged to start your Christmas cards or even to just craft :-) 

My latest Make it Crafty creation

Good morning everyone I am here today to share with you my latest MIC Creation...

I generally craft how I am feeling and when I was making this card I was getting blown away!

Lots of heavy winds for my part of the world, up to 125km an hour, when I was making this card so it was fitting...well a little I think she is in a breeze and technically I had howling winds but hey close enough!

That's the great thing about MIC images so much variety you really can have an image for every occasion.

My card is quite simple but I just love how it turned out. The yellows and greens together worked really well...I think I have found a new favourite combination.

Here is a close up:

I have used the following products:

MIC PRODUCTS

Summer Breeze Digi also available in rubber 

Chippies (no longer available) 

Happy Days Tab Sentiments Rubber Stamp

I have also coloured my image using the following copics:

the dress - BG78, BG75 & BG72 plus my pencils for some touch ups

The yellow - Y15 and pencils 

Skin tones - E00, E11, E20 & R20

The rest of the stuff was just from my stash. 

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time 

A little 80's tragic!

Good morning everyone today I am sharing with you my latest Make it Crafty creation. 

I had a birthday card to make for a good friend and these Rocker Images are just perfect for male cards.

I have made it a little 80's tragic  as I can just imagine him in the day rocking away in his hey day!

I kind of imagined the black bits coming off the side of the image as being part of the guitar?

Another clean and simple card from me I just cant seem to do busy cards at the moment. 

These images are so much fun to play with and I am sure I will be using them all within good time. 

MIC PRODUCTS:

Rocker Dude Digi Stamp 

I have used me copics for colouring the image. 

That is it from me today. I will be back in a few weeks. 

Thanks for taking the time to look at my 80's Tragic Card!!

Good morning everyone I am here today to share with you my latest MIC Creation. 

Last year I was caught by surprise when it got the the end of November and I only had a handful of Christmas cards ready.....eeeek I will not do that again so I have started early this year perhaps not as early as I should have but hey I am on better track that last year.  Ask me again in November and I might be doing the yearly freak out!

I loved these Christmas Images Zoe had last year but with leaving things to the last minute I really did not have time to play with them.

So at this stage as I have time, I took on one of the more time consuming images, Girls Carol Singing, and this is what I came up with..

I kept my card very simple as I wanted, like all my MIC cards, to let the image be the feature.

MIC Crafty Products:

Girls Carol Singing

I am really sorry I would normally list the copics I used but I have thrown out my list that I had written them on. 

Public Holiday here is Melbourne today so I am enjoying the lazy morning here.....now to sit by the fire and do some more colouring. .

Thank you for taking the time to read my post today. Big Hugs

Using Urban Elements from Make it Crafty

Hi everyone I'm here today to show you a boys birthday cad I have created using mainly the different urban elements collections and  racing Rick from Make it Crafty.

I don't know about you but I really struggle making cards for boys, I don't know if it is because you just cant go adding lots of pretty embellishments? Anyhow I have always been a big fan of the Urban Elements so I thought it was about time I used them and challenged myself  and this is what I came up with....

I let all the elements be the "feature" of the card....Racing Rick has been foam mounted and so has the car so they pop from the page. I have to say I had so much fun making this card and just loved that Racing Rick reminded me of my son with his hair in his eyes!

I used a piece of designer paper I had cutting out the letters to create my sentiment. Added a bit of distressing and faux stitching and whola I had a boys card!

I would normally list the copics I have used but I used so many the list would just be huge!

Make it Crafty Products:

Racing Rick Digi Stamp

Element Collections:

- Urban Fencing

- Urban Objects

- Urban Street

So that is it from me today. Thanks for stopping by, until next time

Magnolia Down Under Challenges - Sketch

Good morning ladies and maybe even gentleman! Sorry warped humour already!!!!

Today it is Sunday which means we have a new challenge for you play along with at Magnolia Down Under Challenges and this week we have a gorgeous sketch to inspire you. 

Tomorrow is my baby girls 11th Birthday, feels like just yesterday she was born I cant believe she is already 11. I am scared to think how quick the next 11 years will go! 

So when I sat down to make my card I knew that I had to use one of her favourite Tilda's, pink paper and of course an Owl...she is just Owl crazy....I am working on an owl project for Make it Crafty and cant wait to get it finished to show you...ok back to this weeks card joining all those elements together and this is what I came up with......

and here is the sketch:

I got one tag and then used more gems to create the bubbles and put this where the second tag is on the sketch. Quite a basic as in Clean and Simple card, but I am liking that style at the moment and I have also found that I just don't have the time to sit there pushing embellishments around for hours trying to make it not look like someone has vomited all over my card!

I played with some different colours with my copics this week and have to say I like the effect. I also had fun drawing some grass and then painting some flowers on it. 

I know I say this every week but you rally must pop by the main blog and check out the inspiration  We have Lillemor joining us for the first time and then of course our regulars have just rocked this challenge. As I was scrolling down to add my card I kept going oooo ahhhhh! Of course you will also see the Live & Love Crafts are our sponsor this week.

So that's it from me today. I will be back in a few days. Off to my little man's footy match soon. 

Thanks for stopping by, until next time
