Autumnal walk - Sweet November Stamps

Hey Everyone,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by today. 

In today's project I am using a digital image from Sweet November Stamps, if you havent already I highly recommend subscribing to their monthly newsletter. Each month they offer a free image within the newsletter and in September this gorgous Autumn image was given so I'm using her in my latest project. As always all product links can be found at the end of my post 😊 (click any image to view it larger)

Starting with my image printed on alcohol marker friendly cardstock and coloured her using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends. 

Colour combination:

Skin - Fair Skin blend

Hair - Gold Brown + Gold Yellow blend

Scarf + Trousers - Ice Grey blend

Boots + Bag - Red Brown blend

Jacket - Coral blend

Top - Green Turquoise blend

Cup - Gold Yellow blend

For the background I had a particular idea in mind to replicate a similar walk we take daily with our dog, something I am trying to do more of is draw background scenes myself, I love drawing even if I'm not the best but practice makes perfect right?! This is coloured using the older Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.
Colour combination:

Grass - LG2, LG1, JG1, JG7 + AG5

Path - GG4, GG3 + GG2 dotted with GG5 + IG7

Water - TB7, BT8, IB2, AB3 + AB1

Tree stump - EB4, MB4, EB6 + RB4

Bench - LG4, LG3 + LG1

I fussy cut my image and laid her in a rough position, now I needed some trees to finish off my scene, inspired by Lesley Oman from Heffy Doodle in a live youtube crafty session I adapted the use of the silver linings cloud dies into trees, distress inked in Abandoned Coral, Cracking Campfire + Candied Apple to give the Autumnal look.

For some extra touches I took the Time for Tea Designs woodland critters stamp set and stamped some leaves and acorns. Coloured with Tri-Blends.

Colour combination:

Acorns - Red Brown, Gold Brown + Light Green blends

Leaves - Red Brown, Dark Red, Coral, Gold Brown, Orange + Light Green blends.

Before sticking it all together I added some sparkle to the water with a Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen. I am really happy with the final result overall.


As always any comments left are always appreciated 😊

Until next time, happy crafting!

April Challenge - MyBesties

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
