Bright and Fun

Hello Everyone!  Today's card is one I made for a friend's birthday - she loves these little CC Designs girls and lot's of bright colours, so I hope she likes this one!  :)  This also qualifies for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge to use lattice!!

I started with a base of Kiwi Kiss and layered with white and some Echo Park DP.  Across the middle is more Kiwi Kiss that's been punched with the embossed curve punch and layered with more Echo Park DP.  On the DP I've stamped the sentiment using JustRite's Birthday Centres Round set and the matching 1 5/8" Clear Stamper which made is super easy to line up!!  I stamped my CC Designs girl in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (E000, E01, R20, G20, G21, G24, E33, E35, E08, E13, E17, V01, V04, 0)....my friend is a dark redhead, so I tried to do the same for my image.....I think I need more practice with redheads!!!!  :)  I cut her out and popped her up on foam tape of a layer of embossed white and light purple.

FS184 Birthday Cupcake

Today's card is for this week's Featured Stamper Challenge as well as making a birthday card for a little girl we know who's turning 6.  The card I cased for the FS challenge is CAKath's Get Well Mom card.  I changed the colours, image, added a sentiment and moved the bling.  It's a nice, quick and easy card - I really haven't been well over the last 24hrs.

I started with a base of pink bazzill, layered with white and some Hey Birdie DSP.  The image is from CC Designs and has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copics (Y21, YR23, YR24, R81, R83, R85, R89, G40, G82, E000, E01, 0).  It was cut out with large oval nestabilities and mounted on pink cut with label 4 nestabilities,  The sentiment is from JustRite's All Occasions Sentiment and Verse and has been cut out with Ribbon Tag Trio 2 shapeabilities and attached with pink satin ribbon.  To finish I added plenty of pink bling as well as a touch of clear Spica.

Where have I been????

I know it's been a very long time since I last posted - there has been a number of reasons!  The first is that our internet connection has been TERRIBLE for over a week and disappeared for days at a time!!!  It's been driving me CRAZY - I think they've been upgrading the cables in the area.  I also had my Mum come to visit for a few days (which was wonderful!) and then I worked at the Brisbane Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo over the long week-end followed by the Brisbane Copic Certification Class where I assisted Mandi.  It was wonderful, fun and tiring all at once!  :)  I also had the joy of meeting two of my blog friends, Leigh and Sharon, as well as lots of new friends at the Expo!!!  Leigh went all three days and made me laugh so much!!  (Leigh, I'm expecting to see lots of wonderful cards made with all those new Copics!!!)

Before the chaos I made this fun card using the Copic Feathering Technique - I've done a tutorial on the CopicOz Blog explaining how to create this look by feathering, if you give it a go, I'd love to see what you create!!!  :)  I also got to use this super fun new paper by Kaisercraft Paper called Hey Birdie topped with a panel punched with the EK success Embossed Curved Border Punch. The Miss Rosalie with Roses stamp is by CC Designs and has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics!  (Markers - E00, E02, E31, E33, E35, E37, R20, YG11, YG63, Y21, RV10, RV21, 0)
