Sepia-effect colouring --- A Man's Card

Hi everyone! Is there anywhere where it isn't raining? Here it's been wet every day for the last week or so, and it's been constantly raining all day and all last night! Not that I mind, I actually like the sound of rain falling, but I'm wondering whether to start building an ark, he hee.

Sorry I haven't been visiting many blogs recently - I've been feeling really wrecked and I log in with good intentions of dropping in on lots of buddy's blogs, but run out of energy too quickly and have needed a lot of rest again. I'm hoping to get round over the next week.

It's been a week of blunders for me....firstly, I hit myself in the face hard by opening a wardrobe door too quickly whilst bending over to pick up my shoes (idiotic); then I forgot to cancel a grocery shopping delivery and ended up with 2 deliveries in one evening (expensive and idiotic); and thirdly, I was reading a book on a Kindle, got to the end of my page and.......picked up the Kindle and turned it over like a page!!!!!! (inexplicable, lol). I assure you, I'm a perfectly intelligent woman most of the time but this week I've turned into a part-time buffoon, lol.

Anyway, this is a card I made for a special man in my life whose birthday it was recently. The image is one that I purchased specifically for this card: it's called Dare and it's by Mo Manning - isn't she a very talented illustrator? The papers I bought specially to use with this image, so for a homemade card it was pretty expensive! 

As the chap in the image looked like a pilot or a driver from a bygone age, I thought I'd have a go at colouring him in a sepia monochrome theme. I chose the E40's family of Copics because there are 7 available shades in that group and I luckily had them all. First of all I did a rough colouring on printer paper with a 6B pencil to get an idea of the tonal values I'd use, then I printed out the image on colouring paper and got to work with the copics. This is the rough colouring next to the finished one:

The 2 papers are from Prima's Almanac pack, and I distressed the edges using a distressing tool. The quote by William Hazlitt comes with the Dare image, so I printed it out and aged the paper with some distress ink. The 'Expedition 1910' diecut is actually from a clothing label which was already deeply distressed. I simply used a nestie die to cut out a label shape and added some more distress ink around the edges. A chipboard cog from a set called Gears Galore by Make It Crafty, which I heat embossed with black powder, finishes it off.

The card has gone down very well - I even sang him Happy Birthday in Welsh, lol. Here's a couple of close ups of the sentiment and diecut:

Colour some texture

Hello bloggers, I hope everyone is well. I've had a bit of a change round on my blog and added a second sidebar so I could do some tidying up. The header etc is different too but it won't stay like this for long....I was messing about with backgrounds yesterday when something happened to my blog so that I could no longer open it (shock horror!) and it kept making my laptop freeze to even try and open my blog. So I didn't get a chance to change the background to something more crafty. I'm too scared to touch it now in case it won't open again!

Anyway, we have a new challenge today at Make It Colourful, which is to COLOUR SOME TEXTURE. This could be anything you like: some grass, a woolly jumper, straw, fur......anything! If it's got some texture in there then you can enter. You can use any make of image in your colouring, doesn't have to be a Make It Crafty one, although there is an extra prize draw for MiC images.

I had been dying to colour this image by Crissy Armstrong, Turk In Boots. The tailfeathers I coloured in a deeply-grooved corrugated effect, and the pumpkin was coloured in long strokes of my copics to look like the many little ridges on the surface. And my final bit of texture is in the body of the turkey, which I coloured smoothly with copics then added little feathery pencil marks to look, well, feathery.

I kept the colours very autumnal, browns, golds and oranges with a little green, and picked up some violet from the backing paper to make a faint violet shadow around my turkey.  The chippie leaves are coloured with the same greens from the hat band. Hope you like it.

Tilda in sheer clothing!

Hi everyone. It's all change at Make It Colourful, with the weekly challenge now a bi-weekly one, and a new harder monthly challenge to push our colouring skills further!

First, the new monthly challenge. This one is just for fun and to improve skills, and will have a more difficult theme. The idea is to show the process rather than just the results, sharing our mistakes and what we've learned, and you can discuss the challenge and share tips and experience on the NEW message board over at the Make It Crafty gallery.  The first monthly challenge is to colour A Spooky Night Sky, and you can read about it HERE.

Now to the regular challenge......it is now a bi-weekly challenge to give you more time to colour your project and has moved from Saturdays to Fridays. The DT will be uploading their projects throughout the fortnight, so keep checking the gallery for more inspiration. The current theme is Colouring Sheer Clothing, and you can find it HERE.

Both challenges will be posted on the Make It Colourful blog, and you'll find all cards for the challenges in the gallery.

A couple of reminders: there is another week to run for the Christmas/Zoe's birthday blog hop, with candy available on all the DT blogs, a freebie image up for grabs if you make a birthday card, and some tempting giveaways on Zoe's blog, as well as a chance to see the new Christmas images. Click HERE to read about and start the hop.  The blog hop has been so much fun, and I want to say a very big thank you for all the fantastic comments left for my cards....that has meant so much!

*************************************

So, after all that I do actually have a card to show, it's one I made for the Sheer Clothing challenge. I've tried to colour a couple of sheer frills on Tilda's dress - you can still see the red dress through the sheer panels. I did this by colouring the bottom of the dress in copics, then used the same colours roughly on the upper parts of the dress leaving some white areas, then used white polychromo pencil on top of the whole sheer areas. the sleeves are also sheer - you can see her arms through the fabric. Well, this was my first attempt and definitely an experiment! I hope it passes muster. There are more sheer colourings from the DT on the gallery.

I used a couple of laser-cut chipboards which I coloured using copic markers, and the butterfly chipboard was also clear embossed before adding a few pearls. There are 2 layers of lace on the card to echo the 2 layers of sheer frills in the dress, and a red flower finishes the card off.

Colouring: Copics and white polychromo pencil

Designer Papers: Oriental Spice, by Papermania

Chippies: Butterfly Leaves and Round Leaves, by Make It Crafty

Flowers, lace and pearls from my craft stash

I also made this as a birthday card for the lovely Zoe, without whom there would be no Make It Colourful or Make It Crafty, and who adds so much to the crafting world.

Dream Valley #17 - Monochromatic

Blogger seems to be having issues again! I decided to catch up with commenting today, but it seems only some comments are actually getting through. I'll keep trying, but sorry if you're one of the blogs I can't comment on. Hopefully, Mr Blogger will resolve this soon.

************************

Hello everyone, it's time for another challenge at Dream Valley Challenges, and the theme this month is Monochrome. So everything on the card needs to be of one colour, although if you're colouring a character you can still use skin tones of course.

 

Our sponsor this fortnight is One Stop Card Crafts, and a lucky winner will receive a £10 gift certificate for their store!

This is the card I made as my DT project....as you see I chose blue-green as my colour.  I used my new Stempelglede stamp, which I finally treated myself to (available from Quixotic Paperie), and stamped it using Versafine black ink onto gloss paper. Then I fussy cut around the edge of the image to give it a deckle-edge (you can see that better in one of the close ups below), then inked around the edge using some Clearsnap fluid chalk ink in Prussian Blue. Papers were also inked with Prussian Blue and I added some hand-stitching.

I made the embellishments using some laser-cut chipboards from Make It Crafty - a flourish and 2 snowflakes layered up together (an idea I saw on Elaine's beautiful blog). The chipboards were coated in some Adirondack acrylic paint in Cloud Blue and I sprinkled some glamour dust into the paint as it was drying to give them lots of sparkle. A gem was placed in the centre of the snowflakes, and a Prima flower and a pearl spray were placed next to the flourish. Some blue-green organza ribbon and ric-rac finish it all off.

And my tip for Top Tip Tuesday: when handstitching your card, paper prick the paper along the edge of a ruler first - not only does it make the stitches neat and evenly spaced but it is so much easier to sew through the paper.

Happy crafting!

Dream Valley #16 - Buttons

Morning all, today is a new challenge at Dream Valley, and this time the theme is Buttons. We're sponsored by Digis With Attitude this week, so a lucky winner will receive a prize of $10 Canadian dollars to spend on their images.

I thought I'd try something different this time and make a card with no colouring on for a change. Instead I used some chipboard shapes from Make It Crafty which I coloured using Copic markers and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder - a new technique for me! These 2 gorgeous chipboards, a mannequin and a cotton reel are from a set called Sew It Up, aren't they nice? I used papers from K&Co, which I aged and distresed then added some handstitching to fit in with the sewing/dressmaking idea, and completed the card with some lace from my lovely blogging friend, Kevin, a little seam binding, pearls, Prima flowers and lastly some buttons to follow this week's challenge. Hope you like it.

I'd like to enter this is these challenges:
4 Crafty Chicks - Embossing (heat embossing on the chipboard shapes)
Anything Goes Challenge - Vintage/shabby chic
CES Crafty Emma's Store - Embellish Me More (buttons, flowers, pearls, chipboard bobbin, lace, seam binding)

The challenge runs for 2 weeks so there's plenty of time to upload your buttons projects to the main challenge blog - check it out for lots more ideas with buttons from my clever teamies.

Happy crafting!

Make it Purple

Hi all, I'm really late in getting this card made for the Make It Colourful challenge this weekend, I've been in bed with a bug for a couple of days. But better late than never, as they say.

The challenge this week is to colour with purple. Until recently I hardly ever used purple, now I'm quite getting to like it!

We are sponsored this week by Some Odd Girl, and I used one of Kristy's images, Roller Mae, on my card.

I used purples in different ways in my colouring....Roller Mae's jumper is coloured in blue violets, her scarf is coloured with violets, her socks are violets and blue violets, I used BV25 to add some of the shadows on the fence. The far end of the field was coloured with BV31 before I added the greens to try and make that part recede some - not sure if this was successful! The hills in the background are made of some blue violets, and I used blue violets and violets to make the sky too.

hills: BV20,23,25;  sky: BV31,V0000,01.

Friendship at Sundays With Crissy

 

Hello everyone, I hope all are well. Today I'm showing 2 DT cards I made for Sundays With Crissy - the theme this month is a warm and fuzzy one of Friendship.  I wouldn't usually make 2 cards but we were lucky enough to have some brand new images from Crissy this month, and after colouring one and loving it that much I had to stay sitting and colour the other one up as well! Which not only tells you how adorable I found them but also how easy they are to colour too.

The 2 images are called Birdie Friend and Frog Friend....aren't they sweet? I used Copics and a little pencil to colour them up, and for the cards I used papers that were kindly sent to me as pressies over the months so I can't tell you the makes except for the dark blue paper on the boy card which is Stampin Up. Sentiments were printed out in Word on my computer, and some lace, flowers, laser-cut chippies and gems were added to the Birdie card (along with some distressing of the paper), and buttons and twine finish off the Frog Friend card.

Cici is Grounded!

Happy Saturday everyone, I hope all are enjoying a pleasant weekend. Saturday morning can only mean one thing.....a new challenge at Make It Colourful! This week is a good one and a useful one too - we want you to add some ground to your image. It's a useful thing because it stops your image looking as though it's floating in the ether somewhere, and it's really easy to do.

Make It Crafty is sponsoring this challenge and there is a FABULOUS prize on offer for the winner....the Urban Street Elements Collection!!!! I'd be entering just for the chance to win that, I can tell you.

There are a number of ways of adding some ground for your image....pop over to the main challenge blog for some more ideas.

So this is my card....now you know I usually do lots of ground for my images, I'm not one to leave any white space uncoloured, he he. So I challenged myself to colour just enough ground for my image and no more. I chose this image from Make It Crafty again (I used her last week - sorry for the repeat but I really love colouring this stamp) and I quite like leaving a lot of white space around her.

How I did the ground:  I added grass round her feet by using 3 shades of copic greens (G21, G24 and G94) and used little upward flicks of the markers to make the blades of grass. I practiced first and found it better to start with the lightest shade and then use the medium and lastly the darkest shades. 

I used blue green shades for the dress and flower to fit the themes at Copic Creations and Crafts For Me (see below for the shades I used), but I like those colours anyway. I also changed the colours of the flowers from pale blues to blue greens to match the flower in Cici's hair. The little dragonfly is a lasercut chippie by Make It Crafty, kindly sent me by the gorgeous Zoe, and I used a fluid chalk ink pad to colour it red. A few blue-green gems add a bit of bling.

Image: Cici by Make It Crafty

Colouring: Copic markers (Blue greens are: dress-BG72,BG75. Flower-BG000,BG01,BG05,BG09 and BG10,BG13,BG15)

Today's the day!

Hi everyone, I have a bit of exciting news to share with you at last......I am one of the new DT members at Sundays With Crissy! I was so happy that Crissy asked me, not only because I had just discovered her images not long ago and loved using them, but because that challenge is one that I always looked up to see what the current theme was and loved entering it. I won her Artist Choice Award a couple of times too, so all in all this is great for me. I've had to keep a lid on it till now, but as today is my first DT post I can shout about it at last, he he.

This challenge is slightly different in that the Design Team showcase their cards throughout the month rather than all together when the challenge is announced. So if you drop in to Sundays With Crissy regularly, you'll see more cards uploaded every few days. I'll be posting early each month.

So the theme for this month's challenge is K.I.S.S. which stands for Keep It Simple Stamper. We'd like you to keep your card as simple as possible, something which is more of a challenge for some of us than others!

For my DT card, I used this fabulous image by Crissy Armstrong called Dance of Love. I pictured this very brightly coloured, so I chose a bright paper to go with it, and kept the design very simple.....just the image, a couple of nestie circles to frame it, a strip of black pleated ribbon with some green ribbon on top, and a couple of chipboard corners that I coloured with copic ink, with gem hearts mounted on them.

In the Pink!

Good morning all, and please forgive me for not being around much in the last couple of weeks - a mixture of eyestrain and still more need for rest has kept me off the computer, although I have tried to still visit blogs but on a less frequent basis. I've also been busy making more cards than I usually would make - 2 this week so far! lol.

Anyway, being Saturday, there is a new challenge at Make It Colourful today, and you'll like this one.....COLOUR IN PINK. That's it, just use pink as one of the colours in your image. We'd like to see you feature pink though rather than just have a tiny bit somewhere in your colouring.

Our sponsor is Bunny Zoe's Crafts and Nicki is offering a £10 gift voucher to her store as a prize this week

This is my card: the fairy image was a freebie from Digital Two For Tuesday, and I used it to make a scene using 2 Make It Crafty digi images: the Whimsical Mushroom, and the Tulip Garden which is a brand new release (links to the stamps are in the card recipe below). There's a whole bunch of new garden images available if you just want to add a simple background to your image, and I used this image twice behind the mushrooms and fairy.  Colouring is in Copics as per usual and I took pinks from different colour families for my image today: my favourite copic pinks are actually in the Red family - R81, R83, R85 & R89 - and these are what I used on the dress. The wings are coloured mainly with the Red Violets RV000, RV02, RV10 with a little R83, and lastly I used some pinky Violets - V91 & V95 - on the mushroom to give it a slight pink tone.  I also used my markers to colour up a couple of lasercut chipboards (also from Make It Crafty). I kept the layout very simple as it was a quick-ish card, and also to let the image stand out more. Hope you like it. And do drop by my fellow teamies blogs, I can tell you their designs are really beautiful.

Here Comes The Sun

Good Morning bloggers! It’s Saturday, and time for another new challenge at Make It Colourful. This week’s fun theme is to Colour Your Embellishments. Being able to change the colour of your decorations gives you more versatility with your embellies, plus you can get a more co-ordinated look with your project.

This is my DT card: the image is done with Copics and I used some of the shades used in the image to colour my embellies, but you could always use another medium to add or change the colours. These are the embellishments that I coloured or changed colour:



Chipboard corners – coloured with YG67

Chipboard ribbon slider – coloured with Y15 and YR04

Sequin flowers – coloured with Y15 and Y17, and covered over with Copic Spica pen

Flower gems stuck on the chipboard corners – added YG63 to change their colour from bright yellow to a nice yellow-green

Mats under the image, yellow square DP and sentiment – white card edged with YG63 and YG67

　



Mats under the image, papers and sentiment coloured in YG63 and YG67





Chipboard corner coloured with YG67, and bright yellow flower gem toned down with some YG63



Chipboard ribbon slider coloured with Y15 and YR04, then coloured over with Copic Spica. and white flower sequins coloured with Y15 and Y17 (2 in each shade)
