TPS - Fantasy

This week at The Paper Shelter our theme is FANTASY, I would usually go straight for a Fairy or Mermaid for this challenge, but as it is almost Halloween, I thought I would colour up the .Not so Scary Scarecrow.

I coloured the main image with Copics and went for a pencil background.

I layered the image behind a cut out I made on the Silhouette Cameo and then stamped with a Lavinia Stamps cobweb.

I cut the mini spiders on the Cameo and also engraved the sentiment too.

I look forward to seeing your fantasy creations over on the challenge blog.

TPS - Alter It

This week over at The Paper Shelter our Theme is ALTER IT.

I chose to use one of the first images I purchased from the Paper Shelter, Magic Bubbles.

For my card, I cropped just the head from the image, which I coloured with Copics and then cut with a circle die.

I layered this onto black card, so I could draw my bubbles with Prismacolor pencils, for a first attempt I am pretty happy with how they turned out.

I finished with a foiled birthday sentiment and a little die-cut sentiment.

TPS - Buttons & Bows

Our theme this week over at The Paper Shelter is 'Buttons and Bows", I always find this one a bit tricky as I have a bit of a button Phobia.

Never the less I managed to find a tiny metal button charm to add to the corner of my card.

The image I have used is Moon Goddess, she is coloured with Copics and for the background I have used distress inks to create a kind of Northern Lights look.

For my bow element, I used two contrasting ribbons to create a double bow, I left the bottoms of ribbons long and twisted them down the side of the card.

TPS - Waterwise

Our new challenge over at The Paper Shelter is WATERWISE, we want to see any water related projects.

I have chosen to use the image The Suns in my Heart, which I coloured a while back following a colouring class from Kit & Clowder.

I have used Copics to colour my image.

I matted with hot Pink card and used a base layer of pattered paper, finishing off with a die cut umbrella and 'Sparkle" sentiment.

Don't forget to join us for a chance to win some Paper Shelter goodies.

TPS - Autumn Colours

So Summer will shortly be at an end and the lovely colours of Autumn will arrive, so our challenge this week over at The Paper Shelter is AUTUMN COLOURS.

I love the colour of the leaves in Autumn, so I have tried to depict this in my card, by using Red, Orange, Yellow and Green

The image is Enchanted Serenade and coloured with Copics.

TPS - Charming

We are back with a new challenge after our summer break and the theme this week is CHARMING.  

We would love to see your makes with an added charm.

I have used the image Playing under the Sea.

I started by masking my image and inking the background in green and blue, then I used a stencil for the bubbles.

I coloured my image with Copics and have added tons of sparkle to her tail with a clear Spectrum Noir pen.

I layered her up and added with bubble die cuts and little seahorse charm and a couple of my resin makes - a starfish and another seahorse.

As always there are prizes to be won.
