Walk like an Egyptian :)...

Hello everyone! I'm back to share the 100% Copic scene I made for Copic Marker Europe and this time I'm taking you on a trip to Egypt! I may be dreaming of holidays and sunny days, hence today's trip! I have made a scene combining a Tiddly Inks character and a Make It Crafty background, here it is!

This cute character is part of a Tiddly Inks set of two images called Egyptian cuties and I chose to use her with Make It Crafty Ancient Egyptian City. I coloured the whole scene with my beloved Copics and decided to leave it like that, not even a sentiment on it ;)

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #12 - Photo Inspiration

Hello everyone! It's the start of a new challenge at Paperbabe Stamps today, and this time we have a photo inspiration for you! As always, you are welcome to use any stamps to join us and you have 2 weeks to enter!

Bonjour à tous! Aujourd'hui débute un nouveau challenge chez Paperbabe Stamps et le thème est une photo dont vous vous inspirerez! Vous pouvez participer avec n'importe quelle marque de tampons et vous avez 2 semaines pour jouer avec nous! 

I took inspiration from the colours ;)

Je me suis basée sur les couleurs :)

I used the beautiful Mayleedee Frost Fairy digi, printed her on Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured her in Copics. I coloured the background in Copics too and created the bokeh effect with different inks and a stencil, and added a bit of Distress Inks around the edges. The sentiment is by Paperbabe Stamps too. 

J'ai utilisé le digi Mayleedee Frost Fairy, je l'ai imprimé sur papier Make It Colour Blending Card et j'ai colorié mon image au Copic. Le fond est fait au Copic aussi, puis j'ai utlisé un pochoir et des encres pour créer cet effet. Un peu d'encre Distress autour de l'image, un sentiment Paperbabe Stamps et voilà ;)!

MiC Clean and Simple Challenge #1

Hello everyone! I shared a little sneak peek of this card earlier in the month, for our first Clean and Simple Challenge at Make It Crafty! The theme is "Background Technique" and for great inspiration, you can look at my teamies' work HERE! 

I love adding backgrounds and this one was done with a stencil, a paper mask and my airbrush :)

I used Beautiful Leia digi and thought she needed a happy sunny background. To do it, I used a Memory Box stencil, secured it with washi tape and added a paper mask I cut to create the hill. I airbrushed the sun, then removed the hill mask and covered the sunny airbrushed area with the negative part of the paper mask I used to do the hill. I then embossed a sentiment in white. 

Beautiful Leia was printed on Make It Colour Blending Card, coloured in Copics, cut out and put on foam squares. 

Skin: E000, 00, 01, 13, 71

Hair: E49, 55, 57, 59

Eyes: E31, BG000

Dress: R00, 02, 05

Tiddly Inks Challenge and NEW images :)

Hello everyone! It's Tuesday so time for a new challenge at Tiddly Inks - and new images and more;)!!! YAY!! Our challenge this time is May Flowers and I'm using a new Wryn for today - Scooting By (With Kitty)! Please note she does have little flowers in her basket ;)

Images: Tiddly Inks Scooting By, Ellie Says Hi (bubble), Make It Crafty Paris Street Café Digi Elements and Urban Street

Colouring: Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card

I thought Wryn could pay me a visit and take a littl trip to Paris ;) For the background, I used the café window and the café text from the Paris Street Café Digi Elements and added the Street Curb from the Urban Street digi set. The speech bubble is from the Ellie Says Hi digi , I mirrored the bubble to have it the correct way, cut it out and put it on foam squares on my scene. 

Thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,
