Make it Crafty Angel

Hello everyone! I'm back with some Christmas inspiration - yes, it is just around the corner now - with a card I did for Copic Marker Europe.

For today's card, I have used an adorable image by Make it Crafty called Angel and Cherub (it comes as 2 images that you can use separately). I resized and cropped my image in MS Word, printed it and coloured it on my piece of paper without cutting it.

I wanted to make my image pop so I decided to create a flashy pink background and used blue on my image. 

I started with the background, coloured making quick circles in RV25 - we are not aiming at having a smooth blended background here - a technique I learned from Zoe at Make it Crafty. 

I then coloured the skin of my angel, using E000, 00, 11 and 71 for the shadows. I also added a bit of R20 for the cheeks and used B63, BG01, 000 for the eyes. 

For the clothes, I used B02, 04, 16, 37, 39.

I then coloured the hair in E59, 25, YR23 (in that order) and coloured the halo in Y11, 26, E57, and the wings in B63, BG000 and a touch of V000. 

To add even more depth to my image, I used my Polychromo pencils on the hair, bow and clothes. I then cut my image and went around the edges with a blending tool and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.  

I thought I would add some details to the background, so I stamped a few leaves and the word JOY with a Marianne's Designs alphabet set in black ink. To brighten things a bit, I did some doodling with a white gel pen. And voilà! 

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 71, R20

Hair: E25, 59, YR23

Eyes: B63, BG000, 01

Clothes: B02, 04, 16, 37, 39

Wings: B63, BG000, V000

Halo: E57, Y11, 26

Thank you very much for your visit, have a wonderful Christmas everyone! Hugs,

I decided to create a background for the Holy Family on a grey board. I used Fresco Paints, applied with a sponge. 

I then added black hills to the background with a Pitt pen and I sponged a bit of Distress Ink around the edges of my sky. 

I then glued my images to my board with tape and foam squares for a bit of dimension.

And at last I added a few details - a Make it Crafty Star Chipboard with stickles, a few gold dots in gel pen and I put some gold on the edges of my board, and voilà! 

Thank you very much for your visit! Hugs,
