Blender Challenge entry

Good morning everyone. Wow it has been a long time since I did a post for Mad for Markers and I am truly sorry to Miss Sammi but thankfully she has been a super duper friends and understands my woes. Anyway - a card to enter in to the Blender Challenge at Copic Oz. What that means is that they want you to use your blender somewhere on your creation so what better use of the blender than using it for scales on the little mermaid. I have just spotted the blender on her tail to make it look like she has scales. What do you all think...??? She is cute regardless.

Copics used:

Skin: E0000, 00, 11, 02

Hair: BV0000, 00, 02

Tail: BG13, 23, 15, blender.

Can you see a pattern here...???

Nope there is no pattern here. It is a pattern of regular posts. Sorry for the deception but it got you to look didn't it....???? LOL. I have the colouring bug - at least for now so I am going with it. Frankly I have had such a big rut that this is amazing even me.

Anyway. This card is just another card that I wanted to make. I bought the image from JustInkLined and thought it was very cute. As soon as I saw it I imagined it as greyscale but with pink so I went with it. I layered the rabbit to make him stand out.

A very simple card made for a little girl.

Copics used:

W1, 3, 5, 7, blender

R81, 85, W1, W3, blender.

Purple and Yellow delight

Good morning everyone. Yep I have been busy last couple of days.

Someone asked me to make an 80th Birthday card if I could and I tried my hardest to find a nice image but didn't and then by accident while looking on JustInkLined I found one. I love this Peony and it comes on an A4 sheet with different sentiments that you can put on there. Anyway printed it off and made this card. Even though I was too late making the card my friend asked for a card with Purple and Yellow so thought I would still make it. Coloured with Copics and yellow background is airbrushed.

Copics used:

Flower: BV0000, 00, 02, 04

Stem/leaves: G20, 21, 24, 26

Airbrush: Y18

Friend....hooray

Oh My Lord - I am so so so sorry for my lack of posts. I have decided that I needed to pull back on the card making as 1). I have a million cards sitting here gathering dust and 2). I wanted to make a card when I wanted to make a card not when the next challenge or DT project was needed so hence why I have given up running Friday Sketch Challenge.

So I got this image from MayzyArt found here. I bought it a while ago and still love it but hit a wall and didn't know what to do with it. Thankfully after the Copic Colouring Day through Mad for Markers I got some inspiration back and decided to do the 'Distressed/Vintage' colouring that we learnt on the day. See we all need to keep learning new things so it doesn't become boring. So here she is - Shawna with Latte all vintage.

Copics used:

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 02

Skirt: G20, G24, W1

Boots: E57, 59, blender

Leg warmers: Y23, 26, W1

Sweater: E50, 53, W1,

Hair: E31, 35, W1 (are you seeing a pattern here)

Hat: Y23, 26, YR14, blender

Scarf: R85, 81, W1

This card was not made for any challenges. Just made it for the fun of it. Just a note - when you are trying to do the Vintage look use very limited colours. You don't want it to look like your normal colouring.

Good morning or evening or afternoon - where ever you may be. A nice sunny Autumn day here is Melbourne. School holidays are coming to an end and that means more creating time for me when kids are back at school. I did however get this card done for today's post. I used Party Blower digital stamp from Spesch Stamps. She is one of my favs and I do seldom use her but here she is. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

The sketch today is by Susan. If you wish to see the rest of the DT's creations at Friday Sketch Challenge go here.

What is on your workdesk Wednesday.....!!!!!!

Here you go:

I have been playing lots lately. I have made lots of earrings, started making beaded bouquets so have bought some silk flowers to give them a go too. I have been kept very busy. It is hard to get my head around the bouquets as they have to be wired together as well as being on wire too - at least that is what I am going to do to keep it really firm.

Yes for the moment (for me) it is very messy and most of the time I now have my ideas lying around. Now I hope by seeing this you will understand why I haven't posted a lot lately. Will keep you tuned in on my earrings etc. I now have to figure out how to take nice photos of them all.

Preview Day 1 - Dark Fairy

Good morning my sweets. It is always a long time between posts for me lately but I have other projects that I deem more important than my paper crafting at the moment so I apologize.

Today at Spesch Stamps we have a preview of the new stamps by Max. This stamp is 'Dark Fairy'. I love her. She is not sweet I can tell you that. She is fabulous though and great to colour. Pop in to the Spesch blog to see the previews by the DT. They once again have done a wonderful job. This card was made with a fabulous sketch by The Sweet Stop. I didn't get creative today. I just did the exact sketch. I wanted to show off our lovely girl. Enjoy your day. Will see you tomorrow for more previews for Spesch.

Good afternoon my sweet Copic lovers and Friday Sketch Challenge fans. Hope we are all well. Today I have a card made for you with our new sketch at FSC and also with one of the Lucky Bunnies from The Greeting Farm. These can be purchased here at Mad for Markers.

Friday Sketch Challenge #13 by Bron

Good evening, afternoon or morning - whereever you may be. This afternoon I am showing you the new sketch by Bron over at Friday Sketch Challenge. This is Bron's first sketch and it is a gem. I love it. I turned it on it's side so that I could do this image from Spesch Stamps. This is an image we had last Easter but I have taken the egg out of the image so it can be a friendship image not an Easter image. What do you think...??? It is cute right. LOL. Spesch Stamps are also offering 3 digital images to a random winner of this challenge so please play along for your chance to win some stamps.
