Copic Creations Challenge Blog

So today is November 1st (already, my time flies) which means it's another Copic Creations Challenge!! This time we were challenged to color red/auburn hair on our images---easy peasy I say, hee hee! I pulled out one of CC Designs Swiss Pixies "Gretel" which I hadn't had a chance to ink up yet and made her a Christmas Pixie instead--she's super versatile which I love of course! Her hair color is actually a bundle of Copics I made for Susana's Store that you can buy HERE (E19,E18,E17,E13) and I added a little of YR23 for some golden touches.

I stamped some Christmas holly from a holiday Inkadinkado set so Gretel would have a place to sit--stamped the corners as well, and then added stickles to the leaves and red pearls (A2Z Scrapbooking has a fabulous selection of pearls HERE) to some of the berries. The dp is by Memory Box called "Spiceberry" and the sentiment is from the PTI set "Vintage Ornaments". And I was soooo excited to finally find the Martha Stewart holly punch--I double punched the holly from 2 colors of cs and then added more red pearls for the berries. A cute holiday card for my stash! Hope you like her too!

Now make sure & stop by the Copic Creations Challenge Blog HERE to see the rest of the DT's projects and to join in on the fun as well!

Fairy Grateful!!

Happy Sunday everyone! Ahh, the last day before the kids head back to school and hubby to work! I'm finishing taking down Christmas stuff today which is a forever kinda task in my house, hee hee! Hope you all have had a wonderful New Year's weekend too! Back to reality I guess...


My card today uses another Faerie Art Song stamp called "Would You Be My Friend" that you can purchase here. I just adore these cute lil' pixie stamps--they have the loveliest expressions! I colored her with Copics and this yummo-licious dp is from Dovecraft's "Glamour" pack (lovee it)! Those flower centers are Bella Baubles (I used lemonade) which you can get at Susana's store along with the Dovecraft dp, Shimmerz and pixie stamp. That cute lil sentiment is from H&M Stamp Co's "Fairy Tales" set which will be on sale Jan. 6th & 7th and includes lots of cute sentiments to use with the fairies! I punched out 3 butterflies w/ my MS punch and layered them--the vellum layer on top also got a coat of iced lavender shimmerz.

Just a close-up so you can see how fabby all those Shimmerz are! I used iced lavender, golden wheat and pink poinsettia on her wings & clothes. If you haven't tried them you should---the most versatile color is Angel Wings if you just wanna try one (very sheer and goes over every color)--once ya get one, you'll want more-LOL!

Don't forget to stop by our "Fans of Karen Lockhart" site on PaperCraft Planet to enter for some yummy webcandy--all details are on the site! Please visit my DT gals today for their beautiful Lockhart creations---Danni and Christine are up today! Don't forget that all the new Lockhart stamps will be available for purchase on Jan.5th Susana's Custom Art & Card Design.

See ya back here tomorrow,
Suzanne

Fantasy!!

Happy December 2nd (ack only 23 days till Christmas) everyone! I have my ladies luncheon today so I will TRY & keep this short, lol! I've got lots to do yet so let's get to it!! BTW, I changed up my blog--whatcha' think?

Both of my cards today feature new faeries from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. I love this fairy "Natasha"--she reminds me of the Bellas but more fantastical & graceful! I colored her w/ Copics to match up with this yummy dp from SU called "Urban Garden". I inked SU inks around the edges of her with my Ranger Inkssentials Blending Tool to make a woodland bg for her. I used my fern punch to create the greenery from the dp. Around the edges of the cs pieces and her wings I used my Liquid Silver pen for some extra sparkle & lots of stickles on her wings too. The sentiment is from Verve Stamps "Beautiful You"--lovee this set!

The second card uses the pixie "Sassafrass" and I wanted to make her a Snowflake pixie! The yummy dp is from Heidi Grace's new holiday line (omgoodness how I lovee this paper)! She's colored w/ Copics and stickles on her wings. The felt snowflakes are from Stampin' Up and the sentiment is from The Stampin Place, so cute!

Please stop by the SUINK blog today, as it is our fearless leader & owner Denise's birthday today! Happy Birthday Denise! My card will be up this afternoon for ya :o)

Also, tomorrow I will have Whiff of Joy Blog Candy to giveaway and its super yummy! Two stamps and some goodies to match, so make sure and check back for it!

Off I go--have a great day,

Suzanne

Pixie Land!!

Happy Thursday to you all! The sun is finally out for a day & its supposed to be freezing w/ snow showers here tomorrow--ahhh, what gives! We never have snow before Thanksgiving--is global warming for real,LOL! Enuff about my weather--I have new goodies to share with you--yippee!

Are these pixies not the CUTEST you've evah seen? (no I don't say that alot, hee hee)These pixies are from a new line called Faerie Art Song and you can get them (there are many) at my friend Susana's store, Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. They are literally flying (hee, hee) off the shelves so get 'em quick!

NOTE: IF she is out of stock of the one you'd like, DO NOT PANIC--she has more coming in. You can email her at susana@susanascustomartandcarddesign.com and she will hold the stamp(s) you like when they come in so you don't miss out :o)



This first card uses the pixie "Kyra" sitting on her lil' moon--so whimsical & lovely! I paired her up with some of this gorgeous DCWV "luxury stack" dp and shimmery navy cs from PTI--just a gorgeous combo me thinks. I colored with Copics and added some navy ink around the edges with my Ranger Inkssentials blending tool (love this thing, if you don't have one rush out & get it cuz' it makes blending your inks so easy & soft)! If you click to make larger you'll see the diamond stickles and these cool GeoSparklers from Stampendous on her--they're like lil jewels for your cards. I punched some scroll punches and added some star jewels scattered around. The sentiment is from Verve Stamp's "Starlight Starbright" set--fits perfectly me thinks.

The second card uses the cutie "Bryony" sitting on her lil' mushroom--just precious dontcha' think! She's colored with Copics too but the bg was done with my Twinkling H2O's--second picture shows the shimmer better & then I rubbed some wheat colored ink around the edges. The lucious dp is from DCWV "Once Upon a Time" stack--perfect to use w/ these pixies. My layout comes from this week's SCS sketch #203. I added ribbon from PTI and some Primas with gold robin's nest centers. So if ya love faeries and pixies make sure and grab some of these!

Be back tomorrow with some big news, an invite and lotsa projects--so get ready for a lonnng post tomorrow!

hugz,

Suzanne
