HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

With it being Valentine's Day, of course the theme has an element of love... whether it be friendships, a thank you or even a romantic kiss in Paris... you are sure to feel the love all round.
So if you have just popped by to say hi and stumbled into this hop you may want to

Here is the "little" card I made:-)...


To make my scene, I used a few, just a few of the new Make It Crafty Paris elements for the background, there are so many elements, the possibilities are just endless! It took me a very long time to decide which ones I would use and I know I'll be using them A LOT - and not just because I am French LOL!!!
I wanted to have this gorgeous couple as the focus of my image and decided to use them on their own! This image is called Le Baiser Volé by Little Miss Muffet Stamps, and you can buy it as digi or BIG NEWS as rubber as well! Woohoo!
The adorable sentiment is from the new set I Heart You Tabs 2 by Whimsy Stamps, and of course the chippies are Ornate Corners by Make It Crafty! And my image is coloured with Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card!

Copic Marker Europe DT card - 100% Copics


Hello all! Today I would like to show you my first DT card for Copic Marker Europe. I decided I would make a 100% Copic card, well as close as possible to a 100% to celebrate, with the focus on my image and I chose an image reflecting my state!!! 
Coucou! Aujourd'hui, je vous montre ma première carte de DT pour Copic Marker Europe. J'ai voulu faire une carte 100% Copic, du moins aussi proche que possible du 100% Copic pour fêter mon entrée sur ce blog, avec l'accent mis sur l'image, une image qui reflète bien mon état!!!

I have used two digi images by Make It Crafty for my card, Zoe All Excited and Rose Garden. My Rose Garden has been cropped, "mirrored", and used twice to have it exactly as I wanted it for my background, so don't be surprised if you find differences with the original image! The sentiment is a Paper Makeup stamp.
J'ai utilisé deux images de chez Make It Crafty - Zoe All excited et Rose Garden. Pour le fond, j'ai rogné Rose Garden, inversé l'image et je l'ai utilisé deux fois pour avoir le fond exactement comme je le souhaitais.

Here is a close up on Zoe and my Copic recipe... Gros plan sur Zoe et recette...

Skin: E000, 00, 02, 11
Hair: C3, 5, 7, 9
Eyes: BG000, E31
Outfit: C0, 1, 3, RV91, 93, 95, 99 (I love that RV combo!)
Roses and bushes: R 59, YR02, 04, G28, YG03, 13, 17, 67, 97
Stones:  E50, 51, 53
Ground: W0, 1, 3, 5 (I made little dots to remind the texture of gravel)
Sky: BG0000, 000, C0, 1, B60
Fountain and bird: C0, 1, 3, W1, 3, 5


I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Fab 'n' Funky - #106 Use a digi image
Crafts And Me - Brighten Up The Day (2nd entry)

That's all from me today! Thank you for your visit, have a lovely Sunday!

Bonjour à toutes! C'est le 3e jour de présentation des nouveautés chez All That Scraps, et cette fois nous utilisons les nouvelles découpes, avec les tampons aussi:-)!


For my card, I used the Mushroom Border Die, and if you look closely, you can spot two leaves which are from the Acorns and Leaves Dies. I had to use the adorable Mushroom Girl with them, and a Woodland Logo which I have made into a sign, I used a toothpick coloured with a Copic for it. The Copics I used for my Mushroom Girl's outfit are E13, 15, 17, 19, 27, 29, 40, 41, 81. The DPs are by Toga.
Pour ma carte, j'ai utilisé la bordure Champignons, et si vous regardez bien, vous verrez 2 feuilles que j'ai ajoutées et qui viennent du die "Acorns and Leaves" (glands et feuilles). Forcément je les ai associés à cette petite craquante (Mushroom Girl) et j'ai fait un panneau avec un élément du set "Woodland Logos" et un cure-dent colorié au Copic. Les Copics que j'ai utilisés pour les vêtements sont E13, 15, 17, 19, 27, 29, 40, 41, 81 et les papiers sont de chez Toga.

ATS Preview Day Two


Hello all! I hope you are well? Thank you for all your lovely comments and birthday wishes, you have made my day! And thank you for the gorgeous cards and surprises I have received, you know who you are:-)! Today is the second day of Previews at All That Scraps, we are back to show you the new Sweet November stamps, adorable as always, and again a difficult choice, what do I start with? I know, my life is so complicated LOL! Well I decided it would be Shroom!

Bonjour à toutes! J'espère que vous allez bien? Merci pour tous vos commentaires et vos voeux d'anniversaire qui m'ont beaucoup touchée! Merci aussi pour les superbes cartes et surprises que j'ai reçues, vous vous reconnaîtrez:-)! Aujourd'hui chez All That Scraps, nous vous présentons les nouveaux tampons de la gamme Sweet November, adorables comme toujours, et encore un choix difficile à faire, lequel vais-je utiliser en premier? Question existentielle, je sais:-)! Et bien j'ai opté pour Shroom!

For my card I have used Sweet November Shroom, a sentiment from Amy R's Be Happy Sentiments and the Mushroom Border Die. I used white card for the mushroom border, then coloured it with the same Copics I used on my image, and of course, for once, I chose my DPs before colouring (which helped...). The DPs are by Toga (saveurs d'automne), I thought it would be nice to have Shroom look at a bird:-) 
Shroom is only one of the new stamps, but there are lots of other new things, to see them all, don't forget to go to the ATS blog where you will see loads of gorgeous creations!

J'ai utilisé Shroom, un sentiment du nouveau set d'Amy R (Be Happy sentiments) et la découpe champignons (Mushroom Border die). Pour la découpe, j'ai utilisé du bristol blanc et colorié en utilisant les mêmes Copics que pour l'image (et bien sûr, euh pour une fois, j'avais choisi mes papiers avant de colorier, c'est vrai que ça aide). Papiers Toga, avec un petit oiseau que Shroom peut regarder:-)...
Shroom n'est qu'une nouveauté parmi plein d'autres. Pour ne rien rater, n'oubliez pas d'aller sur le blog d'All That Scraps où vous verrez plein de choses superbes! 


To colour my image, I used the colours of my papers for reference and was also very inspired by my friend Jane from Jane's Box Of Colours's colouring. Not long ago, she coloured mushrooms so beautifully (like everything else!) and in shades that I loved, so I had them in mind while colouring my image. I used mainly E13, 15, 17, 19, 27, 29, 40, 41, 43 (for the top) and YG91, 95, 97 (for the trousers and ground).

Pour colorier mon image, j'ai utilisé les couleurs du papier certes mais je me suis aussi fortement inspirée de mon amie Jane. Il y a peu, elle a colorisé des champignons à la perfection comme tout ce qu'elle colorie, et dans des tons que j'ai trouvé très beaux et qui m'ont inspirée. J'ai utilisé les Copics E13, 15, 17, 19, 27, 29, 40, 41, 43 (pour le chapeau) et YG91, 95, 97 (pantalon et sol).


Challenges I am entering:
Lollipop Crafts - #65 Anything Goes
Creative Card Crew - #3 Fantasy
Die Cuttin' Divas - #50 Anything Goes (Mushroom Border Die)
Crafty Sentiments - Punches and/or Dies (Mushroom Border Die)

All you need to cheer you up is a good Cupcake, with a great theme chosen by our lovely Maarit this week - "All You Need Is Love"! We are being sponsored by Tiddly Inks, generously offering a $10 Gift Voucher to the winner! 
Bonjour à toutes! Lundi = début de la semaine, d'une longue semaine :-( ... mais le moment d'un nouveau challenge chez Cupcake:-)!!! Le thème choisi par Maarit est "All You Need Is Love"/ Besoin d'Amour" et nous sommes sponsorisés par Tiddly Inks qui offre un bon d'achat de $10 au gagnant! 

Well I just had to use one of my Tiddly Inks images (combined with a part of Christy's freebie), they are so cute! Here is my card...

The heart flowers on the left and right come from the Tiddly Inks freebie mentioned, I cropped the image and copied and pasted my cropped image twice, then I made a mirrored image (by rotating it) to have a symetric design...
Chaque fois que je fais une petite carte ronde, je ne peux pas m'empêcher de penser à Mary J qui en fait des trop belles! Regardez ICI! J'aime beaucoup ce style de cartes, forcément, clean and simple, c'est tout moi:-)! Simple donc, pas grand chose à dire...

Cupcake Time and "casing" Zoe...

Hello all! I hope you are well? Thank you for all your lovely comments about my previous card, they mean a lot! I am still playing catch up, I am almost there! It is now time for our weekly Cupcake with a fab theme chosen by the lovely Louise, "Born on a Winter's Day", so your card must be a winter themed birthday card, it must have a wintery image on it. We are being sponsored by My Mum's Craft Shop, offering a £10 gift voucher! 

Bonjour à toutes! Merci beaucoup pour tous vos commentaires sur ma carte pour MIC, ça me touche beaucoup! Je viens vous parler du nouveau challenge de Cupcake, le thème choisi par Louise est "Né un jour d'hiver", votre carte doit donc être une carte d'anniversaire hivernale, avec une image hivernale (j'espère que je suis claire:-)!). A gagner, un bon d'achat de £10 offert par la boutique My Mum's Craft Shop!

I have decided to use one of my Christmas Tildas that I had not used yet, and make a birthday card for my friend Sonia... J'ai décidé d'utiliser une des Tilda de la collection de Noël qui n'avait pas encore vu mon tampon encreur pour faire une carte d'anniversaire à mon amie Sonia:-)...

Stamps: Magnolia Something For You Tilda, Magnolia sentiment
Colouring: Copics on Make It Colour blending card 
Copics: B32, 34, 37, 39, BG0000, 000, C0, 1, 3, E000, 00, 02, 11, 31, 33, 35, 37, 40, 41, 43, Y21, 26, 28
DPs: Echo Park 
Punch: MS Cherish Punch
Other: Basic Grey Pearls, Ribbon from stash

The title of my post reads "Casing Zoe", let me explain:-)... When I see this Tilda, I cannot take out of my mind the one Zoe coloured so so so beautifully with no black lines, which you can see HERE... Mine has nothing to do with hers, BUT I thought I would practice my folds on the dress and hat and try to achieve a sort of shiny velvety look, so I coloured my Tilda with Zoe's Tilda on my screen, hence the "casing Zoe":-)

J'ai dit dans mon titre que j'avais imité Zoe, je vous explique:-)... Quand je vois cette Tilda, je ne peux m'empêcher de penser à celle coloriée par Zoe sans les lignes, tellement belle... Vous pouvez la voir ICI... La mienne n'a rien à voir, mais je voulais m'entraîner à faire des plis sur la robe et le chapeau, alors j'ai colorié avec la Tilda de Zoe devant moi sur mon écran:-)...

Don't you just love colouring? Make It Colourful #43

Hello all! I hope you are having a great weekend? Have you seen the new challenge at Make It Colourful? This week we would like to you colour "Blades of Grass" and my teamies have made gorgeous samples, you can see them all in the gallery! We are being sponsored by Make It Crafty and the prize is a $20 store credit, how fab is that!
Bonjour à toutes! J'espère que vous passez un bon weekend? Je viens vous parler du nouveau challenge de Make It Colourful, qui est de colorier des "Brins d'herbe"! Pour plein d'inspiration, vous pouvez voir les exemples de mes collègues dans la galerie! A gagner, un bon d'achat de $20 offert par Make It Crafty, c'est pas chouette ça?

As always, I made a simple card, especially since my image is quite big:-)... After 3 colouring sessions (understand evenings/nights:-)!!!), here it is... Comme toujours une carte très simple, d'autant plus que mon image est assez grande:-)... Coloriée en 3 fois (soirées), voilà...

Stamps and images: Make It Crafty Dahlia, Make It Crafty Toadstool Garden, CC Designs sentiment
Colouring: Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card
Copics: Flowers and leaves: BV000, 00, 01, 02, 04, YG 03, 13, 17, 67
Mushrooms: R24, 27, 29, 59, E40, 41, W0, 1, 3, 5
Ground and grass: E40, 41, 43, 44, YG13, 17, 63
Outfit: B29, 32, 34, 37, 39

Wings: BG000, 0000, Y000
DPs: Stamperia
Other: Pearls from stash

To create my scene, I used Toadstool Garden twice, once to have Dahlia sitting, then I added more mushrooms to the left of my scene (cropping the image). 
For the blades of grass, I used YG13, 17, 67, using my darkest colour first and flicking (from bottom of the blades of grass). Note to self: Do not forget to buy more YG and G Copics, I really need and want more LOL!
Pour faire ma scène, j'ai utilisé l'image Toadstool Garden 2 fois, une première fois pour installer Dahlia sur son champignon et une deuxième fois pour ajouter des champignons à gauche de ma scène. Pour les brins d'herbe, j'ai utilisé mes Copics YG13, 17, 67 en commençant par la couleur la plus foncée et en donnant des petits coups de marqueurs en partant de la base de l'herbe. Note à moi-même: acheter plus de Copics dans les tons de vert LOL!


I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Crafty Catz - Something New (new images by Make It Crafty)
Flutterby Wednesday - #185 Bright Colours
My Mum's Craft Shop - #39 Here Come the Girls
Craft Your Passion - #92 Mythical Creatures

That's all from me today! I am completely behind, I have been very busy (colouring obviously and focussing on other things not as fun), I will try to catch up with you during the weekend! Thank you for your visit (and patience!), enjoy the rest of your day!  
C'est tout pour l'instant! Je suis très en retard, j'ai été bien occupée (à colorier et à des choses bien moins sympa), j'espère toutes venir vous voir dans le week-end! Merci de votre visite (et patience!), à très vite! Bisous,
Hugs
