Morgans Artworld Saturday Inspiration

Hiya..Today's inspiration card is done from the freebie that was on the blog a few months ago ,and I never had time before to do.I have coloured it in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,then mounted it onto Pink Centura Pearl card...For the main part of the card I used a full piece of the same Centura Pearl and folded it four times so as to make a kind of hump in the middle to which after decorating I attached the topper.The paper used was from CC English Country Garden Paper pad and the Flowers are from Tattered Lace  they are called Tuck in Flowers.
I used this as often you see these pretty frames either in print or in dies and it scares some people as they are not sure what to do ..I know when I first started I would not ,.to be honest I was a little worried as I has coloured it and I left it on the shelf  before deciding what to do ..that is where the scene came in ..what a great idea and I think it worked out nicely..easy done ..it was really! just a few lines and I just had to add the couple walking the dog in the distance lol!..But you could also do this with a print or even a photo too if you don't feel as brave..Colouring and cardmaking is a journey ,and you do not know what you can do until you try or experiment with ..So have fun try new things and think outside the box it can suprise you ..but most of all have fun doing it..Thanks for popping by :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release ..Dragoon

Hiya ,for this super cute image I have coloured her in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I then used a Tonic circular fancy die ,it is in three pieces,Sorry I dont remember the name but it is from the Verso range..(I store my dies in a Magnetic sheet wallet and this one did not have it's name on it,),I used the outer two..I drew around the image with the inside of the fancy  die so that I could get the image in the circle with her tail sticking out..I then fussy cut it out. I then cut the two outer dies out in some pretty lilac card..The papers were also mounted onto the same card ,and they are from the CC English Country Garden..The beige had wiggly lines put around it using a Pitt pen and the Pink Faux stitches..I kept the card simple as I wished the image and die to be the main feature ,but did add some faux pearl star gems to the two corners ad decoration and also a With Love sentiment..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter ..Turtle and Duck

Oh my Gosh I LOVE THIS!!..who would not? lol!..I fell in love with her when I first saw her and knew I had to do this stamp It is from the last release..The background is my creation you will only get the stamp ,but it is actually created with only a few lines and grass points so you could have a go..I have coloured her in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card and I have mounted it onto some pretty blue card ..The Papers I have used are from First Editions Floral Pavilion and just went so beautifully with this image ,keeping it pretty and girly...These too have been mounted onto the same pretty blue card..I put faux stitching around the dotted paper to add a bit of an edge to it and added a strip from one of the other papers from the collection, down it too almost as a ribbon..More than one would have been too much.The flower is from a die I brought when I first started crafting and I am sorry I cannot remember what it was but I have done multiple of each layer and it gives it the sort of Camelia look . and to finish I added some of the petals cut up and coloured with a CC Sparkle pen in green, I creased these and pinched them on the ends so they look more like leaves.I then popped a resin rose in the center and added to the card  and added a couple of pink faux pearl gems to finish..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Digital Delights By Louby Loo

Hiya..for today's project for Digital Delights I went along with the Halloween theme and also had a play with some of the Touch Five pens that a lot have been going on about on FB..I Will be honest i first started colouring him in Pencils then ..Yes I do have bad days I made a right mess of his face and he ended up being thrown away and as time was a little short I decided to go down the Pen line for more speed than anything.. The pens work lovely ,but I as you know am not a Pen colourist..I found that the ones that came out of the bag they came in,that were facing bullet nib down which I used  worked a lot smoother than ones in the other way around ,so now I store them on their side so they are even.. I am still not a Pen colourist and not happy with my blending I have to put my hands up and admit I still did the shading and the shadows with my Polychromos...But he has come out nice and bright and colourful just as I wanted him too ..
I used one of the cheap sandwhich bags from one of the pound shops I think about 10 fotr £1 ,making it a cheap project...The papers are from a Tonic Paper Pad ,but I cannot remember which I think one from two different ones..I have mounted these first onto black card, then onto some Purple Mirror card,The Mirror stands out more in real than in the pics sorry. Then onto an off cut of black card  I backed it with Purple Mirror then drew a Squiggle line in a White Uni Pen around it to make it pop ..I put Trick or Treat in the bottom right hand corner then added to the bag..I then popped the cut out image on using 3D glue gel .. Then used a black Pitt Pen to draw some creepy crawlies around on the red dot paper to finish..A great idea if you want cheap gift bags for a Halloween party,or to do as a birthday carrier bag,obviously without the spooky image lol!..Have fun and thanks for popping by :)xx

Saturday Inspiration card for Morgan's Artworld

I have followed the theme of the challenge this time for the Saturday card..It is to use Craft card..For this card I used a Sheena Douglas Wood Grain embossing folder and ran the craftcard through the Ebosser.I then decided to use the reverse of the folder I prefered the markings on that side..Then useing Tim Holtz Rusty Hing,Dark Brown and Mowed Lawn ink pads to colour the surface of the craft card..I only added a small amount of the green ,but you must remember when doing wood there is moss on trees and more than just brown.I am well impressed how it came out..I then mounted it onto a fresh piece of craft card to support it and also to straighten it out..I also used a heavier weight glue for this too as I did not want it to be wavy,so  used Cosmic Shimmer..I am not to keen on using it on thinner papers it seems to leave a bit of a ridge,but on this brilliant.
The image is coloured onto Neenah card using Polychromos Pencils..For this one I have tried a slightly new technique,and done a lot of blending with just the pencils..Also I have done a lot more work on the skin,adding more colours,shadows and am really quite pleased with how she turned out too ,Her colouring is much more realistic..However not too sure that this would look so good on the more cartoon characters I do for other teams,but I felt this one needed more work. Hope you like the difference ..The wood grain and the colours I chose has given it a beautiful Autumnal feel..,it was good fun going outside the box,both with the background and with her too..after all it's what crafting is all about learning new things and growing in our own skills,but most of all loving what you do..So have fun ..Thanks for popping by :)xx

The image I have used is from 
The Flights of Fantasy 
by Crafter's Companion

Digital Delights Monday Hostess Card

For this card today I have used ..Flurry the Snowman ,it has been done for a special post on Digital Delights called "Hostess Monday" and it was my turn today.. I have coloured him with Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I then fussy cut him out ready to pop on the card. then cut the center piece of snow fall card ,it is from First Editions Festive Treats,as is the other paper behind it too.I used the CC new contemporary Christmas dies scene for the background at the very back and hand cut the two front slopes and the snowballs..these were all glittered along the edges to give the layers and scene a bit of depth and sparkle too...Once stuck onto the backing papers I then trimmed them to fit the paper and mounted them onto Centura Pearl red card as I did the other paper..It was all then glued onto the 8x8 card base ,there is a snowfall insert matching inside too. The snowballs were then glittered and popped in place a great way to cover up marks if you have any ..um! well! to be honest I did that's where the idea came from lol! Well we all have accidents he! he !... and I used 3D glue to put Flurry in place this makes him stand proud from the card and of cours looking more 3D and giving the scene a bit more depth too..Thank you for visiting :)xx

613 Avenue Create ..Rick St .Dennis Christmas Card

I was absolutely delighted to be colouring a Rick St.Dennis image again..This beautiful image has been coloured using Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I then cut it out using the Tattered Lave notched squares..It was mounted then onto Gold card ..Yes! gold has come out Christmas cards just have to have the shimmer.. The papers I chose are from the Tonic Christmas paper pads ,also mounted onto gold. The main image I kept on a white background as there was going to be a lot going on in this card so I did not want the image to get lost...For.. directly behind the image I used a piece of foiled craft card from Kanban it was from a Birthday selection of foiled craft cards I brought but as it had stars on it I just knew it would look perfect..I used the larger of the notched squares to cut this out and the gold matting and glued down with 3D glue gel to add a bit off depth.The stars/snowflakes are from Spellbinders and are called Holiday Greetings 4 and look exquisite ..I finished these with some beautiful gems that are iridescent with a gold snowflake on them,and to finish I added a sentiment that was matted onto gold card,this was in the back of the Paper pad...This card looks nice on here but on the shelf it just wows ,because to get good pictures you need lighting so bright it sometimes looses a little of the card ..It is beautiful Looks really rich and one of my favourites so far that I have done for Christmas ..but this is only about number three or four lets wait and see lol!..Thank you for popping by  :)xx
