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

Green, Blue and purple scattered hearts

I am so in love with the dream big sentiment. I layered up the blue and purple cuts I did from the scattered hearts die and slightly off set them so that you can just see the purple peeking from under the blue. What better to go with this sentiment than a super cute unicorn from the unicorn in training stamp set.

For this one I went tone on tone. I love the way this turned out. I used the green scattered hearts die cut and backed it on the same green card. I think the subtle texture this gives shows off this moo-vellous highland cow. I gave it a pop of colour with the Time for tea design rainbow brights essentials paper.
The frame is from the smile and scalloped frame die set. I cut two of the smaller frames and chopped the second one up to make some scalloped borders either side of the spotty design paper.

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.

April Mer tot

 

This adorable little April Mer tot by Sweet November is another great digi. I am loving digi's at the moment as I like that I do not have to wait for the post. I can just buy them and get colouring :D 

This cute little one I coloured up with my copics using the following colours;

Skin: E31, E21, E00 (R81 for her tongue)

Hair: E35, Y17, Y15, Y11, Y00

Tail and top: B39, B29, B24, B12

I then added some night sky, midnight blue and sea breeze nuvo drops to her tail to give some dimension. The paper is from a mix of First edition beyond the shore and Dovecrafts Folkland packs. I hand drew some dots around the edges and then added some more Night sky nuvo drops just to finish it off.

Toucan do this

 

I am so in love with these toucans from Time for tea designs and I just couldn't resist doing a bit of a CAS card to show them off. I have coloured them with copics and then mounted them on foam pads so they stand out a bit more. The cloudy back ground was made with the time for tea scene it stencil and the frame is from the time for tea smile sentiment and scalloped frame die set.

The sentiment is also from the Toucan do this stamp set and then just to make it look a little bit less open I added a few Sea breeze nuvo drops.

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.
