Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge #22 - Monochromatic Christmas

Hi

Welcome to another Sunday challenge over at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz!

Christmas is closing in at warp speed now and although I have yet to send out any of my Christmas cards I'm feeling pretty organised. Although it just being us this year makes it pretty simple.

This weeks challenge of a Monochromatic Christmas Card at Kenny K's  wasn't that simple for me though. I don't know about you but I find it really difficult to do cards like this. I always love how they look though and if you pop on over to Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge Blog you will see the rest of Team B's inspirational cards.

For my card I have used Lady Raven and I have added the Santa Hat from his Xmas Accessories.

I really love how Kenny's Xmas Accessories can be used in conjunction with his other images. And they are not just limited to Christmas either, you can use the wings and presents for birthday cards all year round too.

Kenny's images are just a dream to colour!!

Remember to be in the running to win some free images from KennyK you will need to use one of his images on your card.

Have a go and join in the fun this week over at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge Blog. You have a week to link up your creations and I look forward to coming over to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Colour me untraditional - Mad For Markers

Hi Copic fans!!

Thursday again that means it's my turn to inspire you to reach for your Copics and create yourself something fabulous.

The current challenge over on the Mad For Markers Challenge Blog is to create a Christmas Card - using copics to colour with non-traditional Christmas colours.

I am so excited to see so many fabulous cards already submitted. You guys are amazing!! If you haven't already been over to check them out you should and there is still plenty of time for you to get your markers out and join in the fun.

For my card this week I have gone with one of Kenny K's fantastic images "Mistletoe"

Now, I'm pretty sure these papers are from Stampin' Up but I can't tell you what they are. But I'm sure when my wonderful Mum reads this post she will let me know.

But the basic colour combo I have used is Brown, Blue an Green (there's a bit of orange in there too :-D )

I've used a my Peach Spica Pen to add a little shimmer to the trim of her jacket and boots. Here's a photo to hopefully show it up a bit better.

Copics I have used for this image are:

Skin - E000, E00, E11 and R20

Hair - Y26, Y21, C1 and C3

Clothes and Boots - B91, B93, B97, (E53, E25 and Peach Spica Pen for trim)

Holly - B93, Y13 and R46

Mad For Markers New Challenge

.

Hi there Copic fans!

Whoo Hoo, it's a new challenge over at Mad For Markers and a timely one for me might I add.  I sure needed a prod to get me working on some Christmas cards and with the new Mad For Markers challenge being Christmas Cards in Non Traditional Colours (using Copics of course) I'm well and truly motivated now.

For my card I have gone with PINK, GREEN and CREAM.

I have used the stamp set "Doodled Christmas" from Kaiser

My Mum sent me up some leaves that she had puched or die cut I'm not sure but there were all in different colours but the backs of them were white. So I just flipped them over and coloured them with Copics. I also coloured the clear rhinestones so that they would match too.

Copic colours used are:

R81, R83, R85 for the Baubles and Rhinestones

YG93 for the leaves

Head on over to the Mad For Markers Challenge Blog to get your daily dose of ispiration and to link up your Non Traditional Christmas card. I can't wait to see it!!
