My Shopping List

 

Toothy Kid Digi Image

C5 black base card

Patterned papers were a freebie from a tattered lace magazine

Plain white card

Spellbinders die

Brick embossing folder

Card candi

Embellishment using melt pot

1. As usual I printed out my digi image onto Copic Xpress It card and once dry coloured him in using copics - unfortunately I lost the sticky with the colours - SORRY.
2. I then used 'Bob' (BSC) to fussy cut my little chap out using the direct cut facility and also cut a black mat out at the same time by increasing the seam allowance and changing card - simples. Of course if you don't have a 'Bob' then you can fussy cut with scissors.
3.  I die cut some white card which I then embossed and I also cut a faux mat in black.
4. I then cut out the banners and assembled my card finishing off with the card candi and an embellishment which I made using my melt pot.  

I do hope you like my take using such a super little image.  To see more ideas from our design team just follow the link here to our blog and don't forget why you are then why not enter your card for a chance to win some super prizes.

My Shopping List

 

Goth Fairy Witch Digi Image

Copics - E0000 | E00 | E01 for skin

               V04 | V06 | V09 for dress

               C3 | C5 | C7 | 100 for hair

               R40 | YG09

7x7 base kraft card

black card

purple card

embossing folder

red card

red ribbon

red cosmic shimmer glue

 

1. I printed my image out onto Copic Express It card in draft quality and once dry coloured it in with the above listed copics.
2. I then fussy cut her out and also fussy cut a mat in red card.  Well actually Bob, my BSC did the fussy cutting in 'direct cut' mode.
3. I then cut a piece of black card which I pricked around the edges.
4. I cut two pieces of purple card which I embossed with a geometric type design.
5. I put some red ribbon around the two purple pieces and attached that to my card and then attached my image.
6. I tied my ribbon around and then decided to use the cosmic shimmer glue in red to put some pearls.  Yes, you're right I would have been better doing that before putting my bow on but it was an after thought and a lesson learnt LOL.
7. I finished it off with an embellishment made in my melt pot.

  

 

 I have to admit this was a challenge for me as I don't normally do gothic type images.  I did enjoy the colouring but finding a layout was and always is difficult so I do hope you like this one.

1. I coloured my digi stamp in first as that would determine my colour scheme.  I used my copics listed above.
2. I then matted a piece of purple card onto my base card after first using the middle to die cut my corners - definitely saves on card.
3. I cut another mat of white card and stamped my frame from Phil Martins stamp set listed above and clear embossed it.
4. I then scanned my image into Charlie (my brother scan n cut)  on direct to cut facility and placed a 0.04mm border.  (this does not breach copyright as Charlie is acting as my scissors)
5. I then assembled the rest of my card - my image is attached with collall glue to give a little height.

My card was originally made as a DT sample for a challenge at My Craft Creations.  If that particular challenge has finished why not pop over to check out the latest challenge - there are always a good prize.

1. I first printed out my digi image onto Copic Xpress It card in draft quality and left it for a day to ensure it is all dry.
2. I then fussy cut my image out - actually I used my brother scan n cut using the direct cut facility and a 0.04mm outline.
3. I then coloured it in using the above mentioned distress markers.  I haven't used these for a while and thought the watercolour look would be good for this image.  The middle of the flower is a big glob of dries clear glue covered with blue/black glitter.
4. My layout idea was obtained from Sue Wilson, I always struggle with layouts and often look at her blog for ideas and inspiration.
5. To achieve the layout I matted a piece of blue card onto my base card then cut two mats of lemon card.  I distressed them around the edges with scissors.  I also embossed the top layer with a leaves embossing folder.
6. I cut my frame from the middle of the blue mat card using a tonic die.
