A Wizarding Birthday with Mo's Digital Pencil

I can finally share the card I made for my sister's birthday. 

Now my sister is Harry Potter mad - she's been knitting Harry Potter house scarves, has made a Harry Potter Baby Blanket and has a trip to the Harry Potter Studio Tour planned. 

As soon as I saw Wizard Girl by Mo Manning I knew she'd be perfect for her birthday card!

How gorgeous is she! I had a lot of fun colouring her scarf to make it a Gryffindor Scarf.

She's full of magic so I added a load of sparkle - Wink of Stella on her robes and Sakura Tiara pens for the spell she's casting.

Copics used:

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

Hair - E53, E55, E57, E59

Robes - N5, N7, N9, 100

Scarf - R35, R37, R39, R89, W7

She made my sister smile - I hope she makes you smile too.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Spectrum Noir Vintage & Nature Marker sets

Well here we go - my second month on the Spectrum Noir TV DT Team already! This time our challenge was to use the Vintage and Nature Spectrum Noir Packs. These packs are lovely as they contain pens that compliment each other beautifully.

We were working with some stamps from Sheena Douglass - I had to totally relearn how to rubber stamp again as I've used mainly digis for so long!!!

The first part of our challenge was to colour the same stamp using just the Spectrum Noir markers and then the Spectrum Noir markers + Colourblend pencils.

Sheena Douglass - Perfect Partners Country Cottage - All a Flutter

The first one is just the markers from the Vintage Markers box.

The second has details added with Colourblend Pencils - I've not tried this before but I really love the effect it has. So many details I could add!

It's a bit more difficult to see the difference in this, but the Colourblend Pencils really do make a big difference to the details. 

I'll share some more pics tomorrow x

St Patricks Day with KennyK

Yes I know it's early, but I couldn't resist sharing this St Patrick's Day card I made using Old Time Bartender from KennyK Stamps. Isn't he just perfect for a St Paddy's Day!

Green, green and more green!!! 

I really do love this image! He works so well in so many different colours.

I added Glossy Accent to the tankard so it looks like a true pint of 'the black stuff'.

Giraffe Watch!

 My friend Lou has been watching the live web feed of the expectant giraffe in the zoo so I couldn't resist making her this card to make her smile. That poor giraffe has been due any day for days now!

I adore this digi from A Day for Daisies - Little Man Giraffe

I typed the sentiment and added several layers of clear Sakura Glaze pen.

I used a mixture of Spectrum Noir Markers & Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers - the Illustrators have a name as well as the code in the list

Moonlight GY1, Mimosa GY2, GY3, GY5

Amber BO3, TN5, Leather TN7

Brown Grey 6 BG6, Flame Red CR11

This is my creation for Day 4 of #thedailymarker30day challenge. 

Baking with Kraftin' Kimmie

I've been a big fan of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for a while now, but have been admiring from a distance, but I now finally own a couple of stamp sets. I've been itching to start colouring so decided to take part in this week's Wonderful Wednesday Challenge. I based my card on the March Monthly Sketch.

I used the image from the set Lulu and Friends and the sentiment from the Thank you BEARY much set - I thought they went together nicely.

The papers are from the digital paper pack Homemade with Love from Carta Bella.
