Happy New Year Card for Vet

Dec31

Happy New Year’s Everyone!

Just completed this year’s card for the vet for New Year’s from Boo! I saw this stamp from the Paper Shelter Happy Meow Year – Digital Stamp and laughed. I knew I had to use it to make a special card from “Boo” our beautiful little lady.

All images were coloured in with Copic alcohol markers. I brought in the background paper and then merged the digi onto it using Adobe Elements.

Here is the front of the card.

Kit and Clowder – November 2016 Markers Class

Dec11

Hi There,

Sharing with you my finished Christmas card after completing the November Markers class from Kit and Clowder. Image is called “North Pole” by Polkadoodles.

kc-nov2016-markers

Here is a close-up.

kc-nov2016-markerscu

 

For this project I used all Copic markers. Alyce from Kit and Clowder also teaches you how to use alternative markers as well. Which I really love, since I also have the full Spectrum Noir collection.

I had a lot of fun doing this class as it taught me a lot of new techniques. I especially loved learning how to colour the snow as I love making wintery scened Christmas cards. 🙂

Also, loved learning how to do the sky.

To frame the image I used Craftin Desert Diva’s Fancy Frames. One of my all time favourites. Then used Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mermaid Lagoon to go around the border to deepen the colour.

Added in a little glitter to the snowy roofs and snow on the ground, just because I love sparkle. LOL!

Hope you like it!
