Keeping my fingers crossed!

These are four cards I have chosen from my growing "stash" to be submitted to Aussie Cards For Sale - a site run by Alicia, which promotes and sells handmade cards. Alicia's personal blog is here, and she is a super talented card maker! With these four cards, I am applying for a position as one of the "designers" on her site ... wouldn't that be just awesome!

So, here's crossing fingers she likes my cards (no subtle hint there, hey lol)

Alicia .. all my cards are plain white on the inside, all stamps are coloured with Copics. Hope you like them!

Oh so pretty!

As you have probably noticed, a few of my cards lately have featured the same CC Designs stamps - the reason for this is I got an order of stamps just prior to Christmas, and I can't help myself - I keep stamping them, and colouring them using all sorts of combinations of Copics and colours in the finished projects! I guess its the whole "new toy" thing hehe.

So, I have once again used my little fairy, this time in softer colours, so that she matches with the soft colours of the Kaisercraft "English Rose" journal tags, which I have used to create this sketch layout instead of using the papers from the range.

Copics used :

Hair - E53, E31, E33

Boots - V12, V15, V17

Dress/top - RV10, RV13, R83, RV000, RV02, RV13

Skin - E00, E51, E53

Wings - G12, G21, G24

I also used Clear Spica on dress, boots and hair, and clear Kindy Glitz on wings, the roses on the patterned paper, and the Green Tara flowers, which are centred with Kaisercraft pearls.

Challenges:

Cute Card Thursday Sketch Challenge No. 144

Mad For Markers "Anything Goes" Challenge

Copic Creations "Sparkle" Challenge No. 41

Colouring fun!

Well, having to sit around all day with a cast on my leg means a lot of colouring is getting done, to the point that I am now running out of double sided tape! (And I dread the thought of sending my un-crafty other half out to get some lol)

Anyway, I got this image at a recent Copics class, and coloured in the four smaller versions for bookmarks which probably turned out about 11cm long, but have been dying to colour in this larger version - the whole bookmark is 18cm long by 6cm wide - I love the wavy hair!

Copics used:

Hair - E53, E31, E33 (if you haven't noticed yet, I like my blondes lol)

Skirt/socks - RV10, RV13, R83

Skin - E00, E51, E53

For the books, I simply picked a colour I liked, coloured in one book at a time, then faded the colour using my Colourless Blender. I also used a clear Spica pen on the skirt and socks, and Kindy Glitz on the hair bow. I used a pink Bazzill Bling as the base, a cute pink ribbon I picked up at Spotlight, and a section of one of the new Kaisercraft "English Rose" papers, with Green Tara flowers centred with Kaisercraft pearls
