Thanks for everything

I want to say a massive thank you to anyone who has made a purchase from my little online store over the last few weeks. I genuinely do a little happy dance for every one of them and it means so much to me. I am glad I can keep posting to you all so that you can all enjoy some crafting in this tough time. I know it is certainly what is keeping me sane.
I have a card for you today using this adorable little lady Garden girl carnation from Stamping Bella. She is out of stock in my store right now but is on they way to me along with a load more so watch this space if you want to add her to your collection.

I coloured her with the following Copic markers:
Skin: E33, E21, E00
Hair: 100, C7, C5, C3
Flower and skirt: RV69, R29, R35 + G28, G17, G14
Outline: B02, B00
Ground: E31

The Thanks is a shadow die from Time for Tea designs. I covered it in Nuvo drops and then glossy accents to make more of a feature of it. The embossing is using Crafters companion sakura silhouet embossing folder.

Ink blending scattered hearts

For this one I got ink blending. I used Spun sugar, worn lipstick and Picked raspberry distress oxide inks and taylored expressions ink blending brushes. Then I cut it using the scattered heart background plate die. I didn't want to distract from the ink blending so I just  backed it on grey card and added a the thanks sentiment which I covered in white embossing powder. To finish it off I added some sherbert shimmer nuvo drops

Orange and yellow scattered hearts

Orange is not normally a colour that I use but I was determined to use up all the rainbow pieces I cut our with the scattered heart die as they were too nice to go to waste. I noticed that the hearts could fit in different gaps and make more of a pattern and I already had this lovely mermaid from the Mermazing stamp set coloured up using spectrum noir illustrator pens. This time I covered the thanks shadow die in couple of layers of gold Wow! embossing powder.

Then the yellow one was calling to be used with the mice. Who doesn't love a grey and yellow combo?? I coloured the adorable mouse from the baked with love stamp set with spectrum noir illustrator pens. I stamped the background with the cheese stamps using mustard seed distress oxide. Then to finish it I added some English mustard nuvo drops.

A rainbow of Scattered hearts

 I have had so much fun playing with this Scattered hearts die from Time for Tea. I will split this into a few posts but I wanted to use it in a range of different ways. 

So first off I cut it out of a rainbow of coloured card. I inlaid some hearts from each colour into the black background plate. Then I added the time for tea Thanks shadow sentiment on top of it. It took a while to find all the right sized hearts to fit back into the die but I totally think it was worth it :D

Next I used some of the hearts that were left over to make into little butterflies. I hand cut some bodies for them. For the background I stamped out the thanks a bunch flowers in Mustard seed distress oxide.

Time for some sparkle with Tide Mayfin

 

 I saw this beauty from Sweet November that was released last week and I just had to have her. I got the chance to play with my copics yesterday and I am falling more in love with both the copics and the Sweet November digi's the more time I spend playing with them :D 

I coloured Tide Mayfin with the following copics:

Skin: E33, E21, E00

Hair: E49, E59, E37, E35, E31

Tail: BV08, V09, V06, V04, V15, V01

Fish:Y17, Y06, Y11

Top: Y00

Background: BG01, B000

After colouring her I added some sparkle to her tail with a spectrum noir crystal clear sparkle pen. Then to make it even more sparkly and shiny I covered it with glossy accents.

The pretty paper is from the Beyond the shore First Edition paper pack. I cut around my image with Heffy Doodles stitched rectangles to give it a bit of interest around the edges. The brilliant thanks shadow die is from Time for tea I have covered it with a few layers of fairy tale Wow! Embossing powder.
