TPS - Yummy Delights


Our theme this week at The Paper Shelter is YUMMY DELIGHTS.

My favourite things are a coffee and a muffin, so what better image to use than Pixie Caramel Macchiato.

I used my Copics to colour the image and some papers from my stash.

I created the sentiment in Silhouette Studio.

Today I am sharing a card that I made using an image coloured following one of the latest Kit & Clowder markers classes.

Baby Dragon

Today I would like to share with you a card I made after following a Kit & Clowder colouring tutorial.

I decided to colour this image using my Spectrum Noir pencils.  I didn't have any pencil paper, so used some paper I had for acrylic paint, which mean't I didn't really have enough texture for the pencil to adhere to, but I like the softness achieved.

Daffodil Maiden

I am delighted to be sharing my first post as part of the design team for Moondrea Designs.

The image we are showcasing is the beautiful Daffodil Maiden, which is just perfect as the daffodils are just staring to bloom in the UK.

I have coloured the image with Copics and also used some sparkle pens for the pearls, belt and edge of her dress.

I then matted and layered her with complementary card and finally used some patterned paper from my stash for the background.

TPS - All Things New

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas break, we are back with our first challenge of the year over at The Paper Shelter.

Our theme this week is ALL THINGS NEW.  I was a little stumped at first with this one, you have the obvious new baby, new home, new year, but I wanted to do a particular image Lullaby Moon, after a bit of thinking I thought "What is better than a new day", so here is my card, coloured with Copics.

I die cut some stars and found the quote on line.
