A Make It Crafty Portrait

Hello everyone! Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies celebrating today! I'm back with my Quixotic Inspirations post, with a gorgeous lady for the occasion by Make It Crafty!

Bonjour à tous! Bonne fête des Mères à toutes celles qui la fêtent aujourd'hui! Me revoilà avec une carte que j'ai faite pour Quixotic Paperie, avec une bien jolie dame pour l'occasion disponible chez Make It Crafty!

So this lady is Anastasia by Make It Crafty and I think it is one of the most beautiful portraits available as stamp. As always when colouring with Copics, I used Make It Colour Blending Card and you can spot a Make It Crafty corner coloured in Copic, one of the few chipboard still available, from the Love Heart Swirls Chipboard Set. My DPs are by Prima. 

J'ai utilisé Anastasia de chez Make It Crafty et je trouve que c'est l'un des plus beaux portraits disponibles en tampon. Comme toujours avec mes Copic, j'ai colorié sur papier Make It Colour Blending Card. Vous pouvez voir un coin Make It Crafty, l'un des derniers restants, qui vient du set Love Heart Swirls. Mon papier de fond vient d'un pack Prima.

Gorjuss Happy Day

Hello everyone! I'm back to share a 100% Copic scene I made for Copic Marker Europe, a spring scene. I am in spring mode and need some sunshine! Here is what I've done...

Bonjour à tous! Me revoilà pour partager une scène que j'ai faite pour Copic Marker Europe et publiée sur le site Copic France. 

I love this adorable Gorjuss Girl, it's an "old" Personal Impressions stamp called Bluebird's Proposal. I stamped it on Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured the whole background adding some bushes in the distance using my Copics. The sentiment is from a Tiddly Inks set called Ellie Says Be Happy. As a finishing touch, I punched a little flower and added a Doodlebug pearl. Here is a close up on my scene and the list of all the Copics I have used...

J'adore ce tampon Gorjuss - Bluebird's Proposal. Je l'ai tamponné sur papier Make It Colour Blending Card et j'ai tout colorié au Copic et ajouté quelques buissons au loin. Le sentiment vient d'un set Tiddly Inks, Ellie Says Be Happy. Enfin, j'ai ajouté une petite fleur perforée et une perle Doodlebug.

Quixotic Paperie DT

Hello everyone! After a "roller coaster" of a week, I'm sharing my Quixotic Paperie card featuring some flowers and a very cute but big Anya, an Anya I particularly love and would like to dedicate to Elaine who will know why :) 

This cutie is Anya Blooms by The Greeting Farm and for a little change, I decided to colour her using pastel pencils. For the little corners, I used my Greeting Farm Tulip Border die. It is one I love because the tulip border includes a very cute heart border and I have cut 4 little hearts from it to be used as corners. 

Thank you very much for your visit, enjoy the rest of your day! 

Hugs,

Quixotic Paperie DT: Gorjuss, Copics & watercolour

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! Today I'm sharing a card I made for Quixotic Paperie with an old stamp, a Gorjuss Girl stamp! There are still some available in the store and I just love Gorjuss Girls!

Bonjour à tous! Je vous montre une carte que j'ai faite pour Quixotic Paperie avec un "vieux" tampon Gorjuss que j'adore! Et oui, il y a encore quelques tampons disponibles dans la boutique! 

This Gorjuss Girl is Poppy Wood and I just felt the urge to combine watercolours and Copics to colour her. So I stamped her onto watercolour paper, did all the background using watercolours and I then coloured the stamp in Copics.

Cette Gorjuss s'appelle Poppy Wood et j'avais envie de peinturlurer un peu et de mélanger aquarelle et Copic. J'ai tamponné Poppy Wood sur papier aquarelle, fait tout le fond à l'aquarelle et puis j'ai colorié mon tampon au Copic.

Stamp: Personal Impressions Gorjuss Girl Poppy Wood
Colouring: Watercolour and Copics on Canson Montval

Skin/ Peau: E0000, 000, 00, R20

My card today is completely inspired by Zoe ♥! Last year, she shared a fantastic video about how she coloured Sea Shell Tilda Copics, in no line and 'in real time' - what a joy to watch, you can see it HERE! - and I have wanted to colour her that way ever since. Here is my version :)

Ma carte est complètement inspirée par l'exceptionnelle Zoe ♥:) L'an dernier, elle a partagé une vidéo géniale sur sa colorisation de Sea Shell Tilda au Copic, en no line et filmée en temps réel - un bonheur à regarder - elle est ICI! Et j'ai voulu la colorier depuis ce moment-là de cette manière. 

Stamp: Magnolia Sea Shell Tilda 

Colouring: Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card
