Spooky Night Sky...

FOR MY CUPCAKE CARD, SEE MY PREVIOUS POST BELOW:-)

Hello again! 3 posts in 24 hours, very unusual, I know!!! Depending on where you are, I am almost too late to post my card:-)! There was a great special challenge at Make It Colourful for the month of October which was to create a spooky night sky. And I have to say it did take me some time to come up with something... I spent quite a number of hours on a first project, which ended in the bin. After colouring my whole scene, I realised I did not like the way I had put the different elements together to make my scene and my sky, which I tried to do with distress inks (big mistake... I am so bad!) was a real failure! 

The inspirational photos, the girls who took part in the challenge and left messages on the message board in the gallery really helped me and with the fantastic tutorial Barbara made about one of her amazing spooky night skies (she did make several, you can see them all in the gallery here), I had no other choice than try again:-)!

I decided to use the following character, Larkspur, which seemed perfect to me for a spooky scene and built my scene around her, adding all the Make It Crafty elements/images I had planned to use. 

 

and the whole scene, with some explanations...

 Stamps: Make It Crafty digis Eerie Scene, Spooky House, Spooky Graveyard

CC Designs Sweet November Twisted Sisters Larkspur (rubber)

Colouring: Copics on Make It Colour blending card

MS punch

For the background, I only used parts of images: the moon and bats are a part of the Eerie Scene, the house is a part of the Spooky House which I first rotated (horizontally), then put at a slight angle to make it look a bit more threatening (Barbara's idea in the first place) and placed as if on a hill, the fence is a part of the Spooky Graveyard, and the branches on the side (idea coming from the inspirational photos for the challenge) are an element taken from the Spooky Graveyard too and repeated several times. I filled the empty space on the right by adding a coloured path. I also made the branches longer using my Copic multiliner, because my stamped character was not exactly where I wanted it (I did the usual stamping, masking, then printing my background on top of my stamped image).

For the moon, I used Y28, Y11, Y000, E41 and E50. For the sky and clouds, I followed Barbara's tutorial, I just did not use the Toner Greys (which I don't have... yet:-)), I used C0 to C5 and B91, 93, 95, 97. Greys first, then blues, then little touches of grey in some places.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Little Miss Muffet - #21 Clouds

My Mum's Craft Shop - #29 Spooktacular

Crafty Catz - #106 Halloween

Stampin' For The Weekend - #19 Spooky

One Stop Craft - #155 No sentiments

Divas By Design - #13 Something spooky

Di's Digi Designs - Halloween

Pollycraft - #117 Anything Goes

The new Special Monthly challenge at Make It Colourful will be announced a few hours from now, don't forget to check what it is! Thank you very much for stopping by, I am behind with my commenting but will catch up tomorrow, 1.15am is not a reasonable time...!

Happy Halloween everyone:-)!

Ma carte, et je n'ai pas pu résister à l'appel de mes crayons pour la 3e fois... (la 2e étant dans le message précédent, posté il y a quelques heures)...

I looked for a stamp with a tree or tree leaves, and finally realised that mistletoe had leaves too, which saved me! Perfect opportunity for me to use that adorable stamp I was very lucky to win at the All That Scraps Challenge 2 weeks ago:-)! Close up and recipe...

J'ai passé beaucoup de temps à chercher dans les tiroirs un tampon avec un arbre, pour finalement me rendre compte que le gui avait des feuilles!

Make It Colourful #39 and challenges

Hello all! I hope you are well? Two good news, the weekend is almost here:-) and we have a brand new challenge for you at Make It Colourful, sponsored by Make It Crafty:-)! The theme this week is "Texture", so we would like you to create your own texture using your colouring medium. My teamies cards are fantastic examples, you can see them all in the gallery HERE.

Bonjour à toutes! Deux bonnes nouvelles, 1- c'est presque le week-end et 2- nous avons un nouveau challenge Make It Colourful pour vous, sponsorisé par Make It Crafty! Le thème? "Texture", il faut se concentrer sur l'aspect/ le rendu des différentes matières. Ca semble compliqué, mais ça ne l'est pas tant que ça:-)... Mes collègues vous ont préparé des exemples superbes, à voir dans la galerie ICI...

My card and recipe, then a few explanations...

Stamps: Make It Crafty Little Village Scene, Sugar Nellie Knitted With Love, LOTV sentiment

Copics

Make It Colour Blending card

DPs: BoBunny

 Die: Magnolia Heart Swirl

For my scene, I "mirrored" my MIC image and slightly rotated it to have the angle I wanted. For the colouring, I tried to add texture to different things but I especially tried to focus on the wood of the fence and also on the clothes/hat of the fairy... Let's look at the image only...

Je me suis concentrée sur le bois de la barrière et aussi sur le bonnet de la fée (ça ne se voit pas mais je vais expliquer...)

For the fence, I did not blend my colours too much and gave brushstrokes to render the "veins" of the wood. As for the fairy...

Pour le bois, j'ai donné quelques coups de Copic pour rendre les veines du bois et ne pas avoir une barrière toute lisse. Quant à la fée...

For the trim of the hat and pompoms, I used C0, 1, 3 and made little dots. Now I also tried something invisible on the purple part of the hat:-), but I will explain what I tried to do (and failed to do). The tiny  white dots are not due to the paper, but to what I did. I did  not want the hat to look completely smooth and I read a fascinating article by Marianne Walker on how to colour a sweater HERE. I put a couple of drops of colourless blender on a felt pad, and very gently (way too gently, because of fear LOL!!!) dabbed on the purple surface. I did the same thing on the woolen heart too.

Pour le bord du bonnet et les pompons, j'ai utilisé mes Copic C0, 1, 3 et fait des petits points. Ensuite j'ai fait quelque chose d'invisible sur le violet du bonnet... Je vous explique ce que j'ai essayé (et raté!). Les minuscules points blancs ne sont pas liés au papier... Je voulais éviter d'avoir une surface lisse et je me suis inspirée d'un super article de Marianne Walker sur la colorisation d'un pull ICI. J'ai mis quelques gouttes de colourless blender sur un petit bout de feutre de mon applicateur alcool et j'ai délicatement (trop délicatement, mais à cause de la peur!!!) tamponné le bonnet. J'ai fait la même chose sur le gros coeur en laine, je voulais voir quelques fibres... Subtil...

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

The Sugar Bowl - #70 Maria Therese's great sketch (optional CAS)

Charisma Cardz - #43 Anything Goes

Meljen's Designs - #82 Christmas

Dutch Dare - #136 Pearls and Swirls

The Paper Shelter - #37 Anything Goes

Pour ma carte, j'ai utilisé une des nouvelles images de Make It Crafty, Winter Park (légèrement modifiée), combinée à une Gorjuss...

I stamped my Gorjuss girl, masked my image then printed my MIC background, and then had a lot of fun colouring that scene! I decided it would be daytime and not night despite the lampost and the GG called "The Winter's Night":-)! For the snow I used Copics W0, 1, 3, and BG0000, 000.

J'ai tamponné ma Gorjuss, je l'ai masquée, puis j'ai imprimé mon fond Make It Crafty. J'ai beaucoup aimé colorier cette scène et j'ai décidé, malgré le reverbère et le nom de cette Gorjuss (The winter's NIGHT:-)) de faire une scène de jour. Pour la neige, j'ai utilisé mes Copics W0, 1, 3, BG0000, 000.

Stamps: Make It Crafty Winter Park, Personal Impressions Gorjuss The Winter's Night, Whimsy Stamps sentiment
