Zombies vs Normal Bettys

Today is the day for the newest release from http://simplybstamps.net/ . You are going to just love the new elegant ladies...but even better, there is a zombie version of each as well!

I have coloured Victorian Corinne using the following Copic markers:
Hair: Y38, YR04, E08, E09
Skin: E51, E53, R02 Lips: E19
Dress: G21, G43, YG63
My background paper was some handmade paper from my stash. It was already embossed. The doiley die was by Docraft. Other embellishments include crystal flourishes- I always chop these up to add to my cards and mulberry flowers. I have inked the edges of the paper pieces with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
 
 
This card is a gatefold card with all of the layers fixed to the left hand side of the card.
 
My Zombie Victorian Corinne was coloured using the following Copic markers:
Skin: W2, W3, W5, R02, G21
Hair: V15, V17, V22, BV08
Dress: R22, R24, R27, R29, E19
 
I also used my Copic markers to colour the white bias ribbon used on the card. It is great to be able to create your own ribbon that always exactly matches your image.
The chipboard cobweb in the corner is by Dusty Attic and so is the small spider. The large spider is a button from my stash. I removed the shank before gluing it to the chipboard web.
Final touches were mulberry flowers and purple bling.
 
 
Thank you for stopping by and happy
colouring!

Happy Birthday, Katya.

The design team as Simply B Stamps planned some cards for Katya to celebrate her birthday. I chose to use the Zombie Babe Betty  image from http://simplybstamps.net/item_2805/Zombie-Babe-Betty.htm/ for my card.
Katya, I hope you have a wonderful day of celebrations and get spoilt by your family.
 
 
 
Copic colours used:
Skin: G82, G12, G21, E93
Hair: W4, W6, W10
Background: B0000, B32
Bow and Shirt: R11, R17, R29, R32, R35, R56, W4
 
I edged the card background and digis with Vintage Photo Distress Ink before foam mounting the digis. Big black bling was a Teresa Collins trim and the small red pearls were from Flourish With A Bling. Mulberry leaves and flowers were from my stash.
 
Thanks for stopping by and once again
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATYA!!

Happy Mother's Day from Simply Betty Stamps

Here is the brand new release for this week over at http://simplybstamps.net/ .
Today is debut day for the digi Betty has made to mark Mothers Day 2015.
The image is just beautiful and don't you just love all of those curls?

I coloured her using the following Copic markers:
Eyes and Ribbon: YG93, YG99
Rose and Dress: RV32, RV34, RV55, RV66
Hair: E33,E35, E37, E47, E89
Hat: Y21, E33, E35, E13
Skin:E50, E53, E93
Lips: E93, E19


The doiley in the background was a Cheery Lynn die called English Tea Party. The butterflies were also die cut. All pieces were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. I added pearls to the butterfly dies to create the body and glued this centre after folding the wings so that they stood out. The iage is mounted using foam square as is the sentiment. Other  embellishments include Green Tara crystal leaves, mulberry paper flowers and an organza bow.
I hope you pop over to Betty's store and get your digi to make your Mum's special day.

School Emos are coming out of the Vault!

For followers of http://simplybstamps.net/ who have been sad to see some of their favourite digis disappear before you had a chance to buy them, you are in LUCK!!!! Betty is going to be bringing some of the favourites back as limited re- releases....yes, they are coming out of the vault. The first to make a comeback are the School Emos. They are available as a bundle.
I have chosen two of these to make up into cards today.
 
My first card uses the image Art Lovin Betty. The new version also has a caption. I am thinking this one will come in handy for my arty daughter and her like minded friends.
Copic colours used:
Skin- E51, E53, E93 Lips- R46
Hair- E33, E37, E18, E59
Shirt- 0, R46, V17, V09
Skirt- B21, B93, B95, B97
 
The bats were from an IOP set of Halloween dies. Kaisercraft bling in black and the purple backing paper has been embossed using a Sizzix die.

 
This next image is Math is Confusing Millar. I used some Kaisercraft paper to make this card and then an assortment of arrows, a button and bottle cap from my stash. The curved arrow was a white fabric one from Studio Calico. I coloured it using my Copics to match Betty's image.
Copic colours used:
Skin- E51, E53, E93
Hair- Y17, Y18, E23
Jeans- B97, B34
Jacket- R29, E59
