Mad For Markers - Sketch Challenge

Hi there Copic fans!!

Thursday and I am here to remind you all of the current challenge over at Mad For Markers.  Still a couple of days left to get your creation linked up.

I had a lovely day on Tuesday crafting with some wonderful friends of mine and I created this card to share with you today.

I have used an image from Mo Manning for this boy's card. I love this image as it reminds me of my three little blonde boys riding around on the tractor and go cart  that my Dad bought for them years ago.

Image is coloured with the following copics

Skin - E000, E00, E11, E21 and R20

Hair - Y21, Y23, Y26 and Y28

Clothes - B91, B93, B95, YG91, YG93, YG95,  R22, R24, R27

Car - R22, R24, R27, R29, R46, R59, Y21, Y23 and Y26

Wheels - C1, C3, C5, C7, C9 and 100

Here's a look at the fabulous sketch Bron has done up for you.

It's a beauty!!

New Challenge at Mad For Markers

Hi

Thanks for stopping by, it's always nice to have you drop in.

Thanks to those of you who emailed to ask after my little guy and his tests.  He was such little trooper. It's the first time he has had a blood test and being on the Autistic spectrum it was never going to be easy but he held up well. All I can say, is how did Mothers ever cope before the days of IPODs??? I'd like to think it was my soothing words and loving cuddles that got him through but truth be told I think it was good old Sponge Bob Square Pants!! lol :-P.

With the ENT visit, the blood test and working three days a week now I haven't had a lot of crafting time. That seems to be the case most weeks now sadly. But I have managed to create a card this week to share with you.

I have used Mo Mannings sweet image "End Of Summer"

I'm not sure why my photos end up so blurry but if you click on it is much clearer.

I have used the following Copics to colour this image and the flowers.

Skin - E00, E000, E11 and R20

Hair - E25, E27, E29 and E53

Flowers and Shirt - R81, R83 and R85

Jeans - B91, B93, B95 and B97

Blue Shading - B00

Speaking of Copics, there is a new challenge over at Mad For Markers that you should check out.

My teamie, Melissa, has come up with a fabulous tag sketch this fortnight and it is up to you how you use it, you might want to make a tag, incorporate the tag on to a card or maybe make a tag shaped card, it's up to you.

For all your Copic and related supplies head on over to Mad For Markers online store.

Sweet New Baby

Hi

How are you all? I hope your week has started off well.

I'm finding that the weeks have certainly sped up since I started back at work a few weeks ago. Maybe it is because I work on a Wednesday and that my week is now broken up in the middle that it seems to go so fast.

I have found a little time to craft at night and managed to make this sweet new baby card.

I used the cutest image from Mo's Digital Pencil called "Fairy Kiki".

I don't glitter much (no where near as much as I should, lol) but I just had to add a little extra shimmer to her wings and hair, after all what's a fairy without a little fairy dust hey?

Image (and flowers) was coloured with Copics

After being inspired by Mary J for so long now I try to decorate the inside of my cards now too as often as I can.

I'm entering this card in to the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft Challenges - Pink Poka Dots

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Spring Flowers

Craft Your Passion Challenges - Anything Goes

Dream Valley Challenges - New Beginnings

Ladybug Crafts Ink - Spring Colours

Mo's Challenge Blog - Oh Baby

Thanks for stopping by today.

Fairy Kiki

Hi

Using images from Mo's Digital Pencil Too, just makes making beautiful cards so easy!

I fell in love with this gorgeous image "Fairy Kiki" and found that the image was so cute it really didn't need much in the way of embellishing.

I created the background by stamping some green flourishes on to Stampin Ups So Safron cardstock and inking around the edges with So Safron ink. Green cardstock is from stash so I can't tell you the name of it sorry.

 The image panel is popped up on dimensionals andI used Copics to colour the image. Because I only have a small selection of colours I had to use blues and yellows to create the greens. I just love how well the Copics blend.

Small flower rhinestones were the finishing touch.

I was also so happy to receive a blog award the other day from my friend Helen over at Let's Create.

Thank you Helen it was really sweet of you to pass it on to me.

I would like to pass on this award to the following blogs that I enjoy visiting.

Ash at Hastkala - becuase I love what she creates with limited supplies.

Kas at Kazzellscrafts because her cards are always beautiful

and

Lisa at Mess2Magic because she is the best blogging buddy!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and for your wonderful comments. I love reading them and if you leave me your email or blog address I will come and visit you too.
