* Colour Crazy: Deer Duo

***

Hello!

I am delighted to be a Guest DT at the Colour Crazy Challenge blog for the next three months.

The challenge is always Anything Goes, but of course your card must feature some colouring using any medium you wish. This week Bugaboo is the sponsor.

I was lucky to receive a digi stamp to work with and I chose Deer Duo. I decided to work with non-traditional Christmas colours:

The background is ink blended on Art Card using Distress Inks. I used a birch tree die to cut tree trunks out of kraft card; I added some Vintage Photo ink to the edges of the tree trunks to make them stand out a bit more. The digi was coloured with Copics and added to the background on foam pads for dimension. I added a die cut sentiment. I matted the scene onto kraft card, distressed and inked the edges and then placed it onto a white card base.

That's all from me for today!

* Vera Lane Studio: Mr and Mrs Claus

***

Hello!

Only 5 weeks now until Christmas Day- are you ready yet?

If, like me, you're still making Christmas cards, then the new digi set release from Vera Lane Studio might be right up your street! It's Mr & Mrs Claus.

I made a shaker card:

I coloured Mr & Mrs with Copics, added a few white Posca pen marks and fussy cut them. The background of the shaker is a little winter scene, made by blending Distress Oxides, spritzing with water to bleach out some of the colours and splattering with white paint for a snow effect. I die cut white glitter card to make a low, hilly landscape with some fir trees.
The frame of the shaker is a die from MFT and it took all my mathematical prowess to centre the sentiment and cut it at the correct angle! This time, rather than add foam tape to raise the top of the shaker window, I decided to die cut multiple frames, cut away the horizontal piece and glue them together. And, because I was ahead of myself this week, I left everything overnight to dry. Star sparkles were added as the shaker element and for once, they do not stick to the sides! Result!

Mr & Mrs Claus

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane.

* Vera Lane Studio: Coffee Girl ATC

***

Hello!

For my second post today I'd like to share a coffee themed ATC that I made for the Vera Lane Studio ATC swap. The ATC theme this month is Coffee or Tea and you can play along in our Facebook group.

I used Coffee Girl and the coffee shop from Tall Town as my images. I coloured them with Copic markers, added some Glossy Accents to the shop windows and some Stickles Diamond glitter to the girl's eyelids.
The background of the ATC is made with blended Distress Oxides (Vintage Photo, Spiced Pumpkin and Mustard Seed). I added some stamping in Versamark ink along the edges and heat embossed in bronze.
Once the images were fussy cut, the coffee shop was glued directly onto the background and the girl was popped on foam pads. The sentiment was inked and added at an angle.

* Vera Lane Studio: Cafe Latte

***

Hello!

Monday again already, and so it's my day to share my DT make for Vera Lane Studio.

Last week saw the release of Cocoa and Latte, a whimsical, adorable couple of fairies for all the cocoa and coffee lovers!

I used Cocoa to make my card:

The image is coloured with Copic markers. I added Diamond Stickles to her wings and to the flower around her eye. White Posca pen highlights were made and the image was fussy cut. It is popped on foam pads onto the background.

The background was made by blending Distress Oxides (Vintage Photo and Broken China) and spritzing with water to beach out some of the colour. I added modelling paste through a stencil and love how it picked up the coffee colour! I also added just a little text stamping along the side edges.

I added some twine trim and a double bow, placing a flower at the bow's knot. Finally, I cut one of the sentiments into strips, inked the edges and glued it directly onto the background.

Isn't she cute!
