my piece of paper

Hello!

Just a few days away now....

June 1st is the 10th anniversary of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge”,
hosted by the lovely super talented Kathy!

I have decided to color tags this time, as I did last time! I hope I will be
able to participate every one of the 30 days! Then I´ll end up with 30 new tags! Yay!

I have tried to dig out a variaty of stamps from my collection,
 I´ll be coloring Uptown Girls, bunnies, kittens, big guys grilling and other cute images! 

And as I did last time, I am going to share my colored and finished
tags at the beginning of each week. I hope you come back to view my tags! 

Can´t wait to get started, this is going to be sooo much fun!
And I am so excited to see all the beautiful colorings
from my fellow participants!! Two more sleeps...

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello!

This card is another personalized custom order!

My idea behind this card was soft muted colors and celebrating
60 with a glass of bubbly! The first stamp that came to mind
was Uptown Girls, "Victoria and Juliette" from
Stampingbella, so I altered the stamped image and used only Juliette (!?). 

According to my research in Swedish interior design trends
this season, grey is out and "greige" is in!
That was my foundation, the card base in a soft grey/beige hue.
The name and year was printed to fit the image. 

I wanted some elements to be curved as so much is rectangle
shaped and straight on this card. So this is what I did...

...I colored a piece of card stock using the same Copics as used on the dress,
punched the edges with this Fiskar´s scallop edge border punch and cut to thin strips.

 But as I didn´t wan´t the holes to show...I attached the strips
closely along the edge of the rectangle piece, close enough to cover the holes!

I looked through my stash of paper and found this beautiful flower
patterned paper that was a perfect match. 

Copics used for the dress: BG 93-96-99

Hello!

Today I share some fuzzy bunnies!
The adorable bunny stamp is from the "Bunny Balloons" set from Whimsy Stamps.

I was so inspired by Sandy Allnock and her amazing coloring of
fuzzy bunnies and this is my take on the fuzzy bunny technique!

The bunnies are colored with warm grey Copic markers
and a grey pencil for the hair.

The image is stamped with grey ink to get that soft look!

I wanted to try this technique and I think the bunnies turned out
super cute but I don´t feel this is someting I´ll do very often,
as for me it was a bit time consuming drawing all these tiny hairs!

Copics used for the bunnies: W 1-2-3

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hello!

Sorry for being MIA for the last week and a half, I am on vacation having no access
to my craft supplies, this card was made just before leaving!

This card was a special, custom order, a little bit of a challenge,
due to a lot of masking and fussy cutting but so much fun to make!

The prompts to follow were: colors black and yellow, cats and hearts!

I love to make these ”wooden” signs to make cards personalized!

The recipient of the card is a huge fan of the Swedish team AIK and
this little gang of cats are supporters to the team, hence
the yellow and black scarves and the hat!

The cat stamp is from the ”BB Cool Cat” set from My Favorite Things,
they were colored with Copic markers, the wooden sign was also colored
with Copic markers, the rays in the background was made using
Distress ink and the ”Sun Ray” stencil also from MFT. The scarves were
hand drawn and carefully fussy cut to fit the images!

Thank you so much for stoppning by!

Hello!

For today´s card I have used yet another adorable little fairy!
These little fairies are so stinkin´ cute and they all melt my heart!

This is "Fairy and Puppy" from Whimsy Stamps.
They are so much fun to color and those wings are
perfect for adding lots of glitter!

I am still working my way through the Kit and Clowder Clothing Class,
I know I need to focus on the last few lessons and practice,
practice, practice, but I am so happy with what I have learnt so far!

A year ago I didn´t know how to color this skirt to make
it this puffy with beautiful folds and pleats.

If you feel you need to improve on your coloring skills
(both alcohol markers and colored pencils) or just want
to learn new techniques, I really recommend taking an online
class from Alyce´s Kit and Clowder, she is an
amazing teacher and sweet person!

Images are colored with Copic markers, and Stickles are added to her wings!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
