Ike's Art

Good morning everyone!  I was asked by my friend Anne Lise to be a guest designer for an inspiration post featuring some images from Ike's Art.  The theme was to create a small gift or tag using a masculine image.  I have to say, I found it a bit challenging, as most of the images I do are quite girly, but I am always up for trying something new. so I gave it a whirl. I hope you like it!

For my project I colored the image with Copic markers, and created a tag.  For the tag I used paper from my stash (it is Valentine paper I have had for a while), fibers, ribbon, and dies from LaLa Land Crafts and Memory Box. 

The Copic colors I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E93 & R11; hair - E21, E23, E25 & E29; suit - E33, E35 & E37; flowers - R24, R35, RA46, R59, B21, B24 & B26.

You can see the awesome projects by her DT on her original post here: http://barnemix.no/index.php/hobby/kortlaging/763-inpirasjon-fra-ike-s-art

Thanks so much for taking a peek! I'll be back shortly with a fun card for you.

Art by Miran Challenge #24

Happy Friday everyone!  I am joining in the Art by Mi Ran Challenge blog today.  It's an Anything Goes challenge, and I had so much fin creating this step card using Babycakes.  You can find her, and lots of other beautiful images here at the Art by Mi Ran store.

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 and R20; hair - E11, E15, E17 and E18; shirt - B00, B12, B16 and BG000; skirt - Y08, Y13 and Y17; shoes - C3, C5 and C7; bow - RV06 and RV55; cupcake - E40, E71, RV02 and RV04.

For the card I used paper and cupcake sticker from the LYB 'Sweet Treats' line.  A red doily, and a little bit of Zazzle 'parfait' on the cupcake was all it needed.  It was my first time making a step card, and it was so much fun.  Definitely will be making more of them!

Betty Fan Page Challenge - Michelle

Good evening everyone!  I've decided to play along in the Simply Betty Fan Page Challenge this month.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to get all 6 done, but I'm going to give it my best.  The first image I'm using is Big Hugs Michelle, which you can buy here.  It was one of the images I won in the SBS Favorite image Anything goes challenge.  The challenge with her was to use purple, and something shiny.  Here's my take:

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E04, E21 and R20; hair - E53, E57 and E59; pants - C1, C3, C5, and C7; shirt - B00, B05 and BG01; heart - V01, V06, V09 and V15; shoes - BV20, BV25 and BV29.

To make the card, I used paper from Bo Bunny's 'A gift of Love' line, bazzill white cardstock, Zva Creative bling, and La-La Land's heart banner die.  Super cute card...I think I'll send her to one of my sisters. :)
