Tiddly Inks 2:3 Challenge Entry

Happy Friday!  Another busy weekend ahead for me but luckily I've had time to create a couple of cards for the Tiddly Inks 2:3 Challenge.  

You can get the scoop over at their blog. Click HERE for more information.

Since we're almost halfway through the month of October (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!), I've decided to use a couple of Halloween images for my entries into the contest.  The card above was made using Alison the Witch.  This was a really fun image to color.  Copic used to color this beauty were:

Skin:E000, E00, E21, R11

Hair: YR000, YR04, YR07, E15

Dress: W0, W1, W5, W7, W9

Purple Sleeves and Trim on Hat: R29, V09 (I started with Red and changed my mind).

Once the image was colored, I fussy cut her out to place on the background. I used craft foam underneath the image to pop her up above the background.

The background was created on watercolor paper. I just drew a rough sketch of witches cauldron and then colored it in using my watercolors.  I used a circle punch of paper as a guide to draw a moon and then colored it in  along with the sky and clouds using watercolors for this as well. I added highlights to the clouds using my white gel pen. The bubbles in the cauldron are just drops of Glossy Accents that I used to give it dimension.  I loved the way this little lady turned out.  I'll be entering this card into the "Anything Goes" portion of the challenge.

This cutie here is another fun witch to color.  This image is called Too Cute to Spook. She's a little sweetheart so I'm entering this card into the  Girly Girl portion of the challenge.

I chose to do her dress in a more purple hue instead of the warmer grey tones I used in the first card.  I think purple is a little more appropriate for a  Girly Girl  ha ha.

Copic used for this image are:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, R21

Hair, Shoes and Cat: C9,C7, C5, C3

Frog: YG05

Dress: BV25, BV23, BV000, darkened corners with N8

Broom: E27, Y26, Y15, Y11

I inked the background of this image with distress inks and a blending tool.  I used Tim Holtz Distress inks in Black Soot and Seedless Preserves. I went over the dress with Wink of Stella to make it shimmer and shine.

Birthday Gift Tag Using Copic Markers

I'm feeling a little like a super hero.  This weekend has been a crazy whirlwind.  I went out of town for a business trip, I went to a high school  football game, two volleyball games, a music show and a birthday party!  Somehow I found time to pull together a little tag for my granddaughters birthday gift.

This wasn't my best work and in hindsight, I would have done a few things differently but hey, I will chalk it up as a learning experience.  I usually need to practice coloring an image a couple of times before I'm happy but with everything else going on this weekend,  doing ANYTHING twice wasn't an option this weekend.

To be honest, I was going to do a card but I messed up on the background  and ended up cutting out the image.   Then I decided I would put this sweet image on a tag.  After I got everything glued down, I noticed I hadn't cut the area out between her legs.  OOPS!  Too late!

I have been wanting to do some video's and so I gave it a shot while coloring this image.  Lets just say the video was a learning experience as well.  Perhaps with time I can improve on the process.

You can click on the video below to watch it.

  The image used is a digital stamp from TiddlyInks, called Let Us Eat Cake.  I love her images. I purchased a few of her Halloween images just  few days ago. I'll be trying to feature a few of my Halloween cards on the blog soon.
