Colour week day 3

Hello.

I hope you are enjoying our colouring week so far :)

Tara, Jenny and Keren have gotten us of to a great start.

So as you can see I'm colouring this fun unicorn from Paper smooches Spectrum stamp set.

I have used copic ciaos pens.

I think we all have our own way of colouring and mine is pretty random lol.

I am far from an expert but hopefully i can inspire you to give it a go.

For this first image i have used the no lines technique. 

To start simple stamp the image in any light colour ink, making sure its compatible with alcohol markers.

I have used momento dessert sand but have also tried with distress inks.

Hopefully you can see that i have started with the lightest colour first and gradually built the colour up.

For his one i have coloured the image completely with the lightest blue then continued as i did for the last image.

You can see i got a bit carried away and coloured all four images. 

Once the main colouring was finished i added some extra little touches using a white gel pen and also with the copics just using a darker colour to add details.

Then fussy cut them all out.

Please click the image to go straight to the products :)

Thanks for looking.

Sunshine and rainbows

Hello.

Another shaker card from me they are such fun to do.

I have used Paper smooches sets Spectrum and He said She said and Lawn Fawn paper pads.

I coloured the unicorn with copics and once it was fussy cut out i sprirtzed it with some glimmer mist.

I used the stitched journalling die from Lawn fawn to make the window.

The sequins are  from Neat and tangled.

Thanks for looking.

Throwback Thursday

Hello!

Happy Throwback Thursday-are you LOVING all the scrummy new Lawn Fawn arrivals? Me too!

So,today I used a slightly older Lawn Fawn set-the awesomely cute Puffy Star Stackables. Swoon! I have used this set so much-it truly is a versatile and adaptable set of dies to have.

A veeeeeery simple card-and pretty self explanatory! Just remember to leave the very tip of the star die hanging out when cutting it for a folding card. The sentiment is embossed onto vellum and is from Paper Smooches Spectrum

I hope you like it and enjoy shopping at the store!

A little rainbow magic...

Greetings from glitter fueled pre-4 year old Birthday party chaos!

My littlest one is about to turn 4,and being the most girly girl ever,her invites (under strict instruction from her) have just been made. I was given my brief-glitter,a unicorn,glitter,something magicy,glitter,oooh a wand!,glitter,RAINBOWS! and er,....glitter. So,with this in mind I reached for my newest Paper Smooches set, Spectrum. Those of you with little princesses must have heard of the ultimate in My Little Pony colour-Rainbow Dash?  Well,Spectrum can offer a very close second...Ladies and gentlemen,I give to you (drum roll) Lovely Unicorn Rainbow Hair! (As named by its tiny 3 year old architect)

These are the party invites (I'm lucky she is only having four guests!) The time and date and other essentials are written on the back so that the recipient has a usable memento after all boring yet essential details are noted.  And yes,there is glitter EVERYWHERE! Neon glitter around the edge,no less than three different types of Stickles adorn the unicorn on hooves and horn and there is yet more glitter on the back,with a light dusting of,yup,glitter across the sky and finished with a gemstone bottom. The craft room looks like Smaugs lair,glittering and twinkling as it waits for the hoover. The stick part are straws wrapped with washi tape (quite a therapeutic activity) and the ribbons are cemented with hot glue between the stars,along with my most of my fingertips. All the stress was more than made up for when each little girl opened up the envelope and pulled out her wand-pure joy :-)  I will leave you with another picture,just for good measure...

I LOVE the Spectrum set-as with all Paper Smooches stamps,there is so much scope in one set,but I don't think I can look at the unicorn again without seeing it covered in glitter and a mane of multi colour ;-)

Happy Thursday folks,

Lou x
