Michelle here and I’ve got Twisted Twine flowers this week!  I liked the boyish cards…but we need some girlish cards with these fun embellies as well!

I again used twine from our sister company:  www.craftkin.com

The sentiment for this card comes from Wild Rose Studio’s set Bella with Bouquet.

This card is another version featuring a sentiment that a got from the Some Odd Girl set Owl Days.

My TIP for TUESDAY is that sometimes it’s OK to cut apart the sentiments in your sets if you would use them more in a different form. This is something I would have never considered at one time…but this sentiment originally said happy owl-days, and I’m not really sure what I would ever use that sentiment for.  I do know I don’t mind wishing someone happy days though, so out the scissors came!

Afternoon Tea Tilda

Welcome!   Marie here for an Anything goes Friday post for you.     It is moving into the Holiday Season and I colored this adorable image of Tilda taking a break from her busy shopping for a warm cup of tea.

Techniques:

• Copic Ink to Paper,
• Copic Tip to Tip Inking
• Creative Background:  Copic Marbleized   and Whimsical Background
• Masking
• Paper Quilling

Supplies and Tools 

Image:  Afternoon Tea Tilda  (Magnolia), Stone Wall Stamp (You can use a bench or any background stamp to allow Tilda to sit).
Medium: Copic Sketch Markers (.too), Copic Opaque Ink (.too), Grey Prisma Pencil, Copic Blue Multiliner (.too).
Paper:  Cryogen (Curious Metallic),  Tis the Season designer paper  (Echo Park),  White and red card stock.
Other: Acrylic Block, Paper Trimmer, Adhesive, Quilling paper and tool, Post-It Note for masking (you can use masking tape if available).

1.  The image is stamped on your focal image.   

2.   Stamp and paper piece the image on a Post-it Note or Masking Tape. I left the top uncovered so you can see the focal image beneath.   

3.  The paper pieced image is adhered to the top of the focal image.  

4.  Stamp the background stamp on top of the post-it Note.   Apply pressure while stamping in order to produce a clear stamped image.  

5.  Remember – the image that is in the background is always stamped on top of the Post-It Note or masking tape.      

6.  Remove the mask.  If any area did not stamp close enough to the image, one can fill it in with a black or grey 0.03 or 0.05 Copic Multiliner.

7.  The skin tones are E000, E00 and E11

8.  The Red Dress and Hat are colored with R29, R27, R24, R22, R20 and a sandwich of R27/C5/R27 at the very darkest of the shadow areas.  The brim of the hat and flowers cold be colored with other colors but I will use Red in order to keep it simple and use my shading to add the contrast. 

 9.  The teacup was colored with B0000, B00, Y13 and G43.  The hair was colored with C3, C5, C7 and White Copic Ink.    The underskirt was colored with C1 and c3.   The Brick stones were colored with W1, W3, W5 and W7.  

10.  I created a whimsical background with a Copic Marbleized technique and added a whimsical swirl  with grey Prisma pencils and Copic white ink. The background was dotted with Copic White Ink and Copic Blue Multiliners.

11.  The image was layered on white and blue card stock.   The designer paper is Tis The Season by (Echo Part).

12.  The flowers were hand quilled and applied to the card.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.     MarkerPOP has a challenge that is Holiday Themed running until December 22.

I hope to see your wonderful creation there!   Happy Holidays!

It’s Michelle here today with a new to me technique…I’m calling it twirled twine…because that is basically all you do!  I’m also calling this 3D Thursday as I am not stamping at all…just playing with twine!

How could I not like this one..it screamed Green Bay Packers to me!  I can see these medallions as fun to use on cards or in scrapbooks….or even on ornaments or banners or other fun decor elements.

Here is how I did it:

1. Start with a cardstock circle and then trim a red-lined tape sheet circle the same size.

2.  Attach the tape circle to the cardstock circle and punch a hole in the middle.

3.  Feed your baker’s twine through the center and then tape the tail to the back.

4.  I added a glue dot to fill in the hole again.

I switched photos on you….I forgot to photograph the process the first time…so this is a second medallion in the works on a black cardstock circle.

5.  You can see I started wrapping the twin around keeping it firm and smooth and I go.

6.  When you get to the outside edge, just wrap the tail to the back and tape again.

7.  Add your fun medallion to your project!

Hi everyone, Marlena here to share a project with you using the CC Designs image, Peace on Earth.  I used this image to create a hanging for our front door for the holidays.  I just took down our Thanksgiving decoration which spent more then a year on the door.  I thought it was a little past time to change our decoration for the next holiday, so I did.

The copic colors I used on my image are skin – E11, E21, E01, E000, E0000, dress – E55, E53, E51, E50 and Hair YR 24, Yr21, Y23, Y11.

Have a wonderful Friday everyone, T-G-I-F!

Thanks so much for stopping by,
