Ocean Rose and Dahlia

Hey Everyone

It's my turn (Karen) to show case an image at Crafts and Me, and this week I've picked Ocean Rose - she is designed by Hannah Lynn.

I've printed my image onto some copic blending paper and then coloured her with my copic's.  I've also added some Atyou Spica here and there in clear, but you probably can't see it so well in my picture.

Anyway Here she is I hope you love her as much as me:-)

I've tried to keep the card fairly simple (well for me anyway) just by adding a few flowers a bow and a little pebble of the bird.  I think she has turned out great:-) I especially like the richness of the paper with my image which I used a bit of Distress Ink on to age it a bit.


Anyway my next card I would love to show you is my challenge card from last week, it's an image also by Hannah Lynn (I'm loving these ones at the moment) and this one is called Dahlia. Dahlia is new this month and well I guess it wont be long before there is another release (on the 1st of each month) anyway here is my Dahlia - I hope you love her as much as me:-)

Now don't forget that a new challenge has just started over HERE We can't wait to see what you all create this week:-)


Till next time:-)

Elainia, Ocean Rose and Fashion Melody

Afternoon all!  I've come over all Marilyn Manson today and gone for a gothic type card :)  This one is using the new release image by Hannah Lynn called ELAINIA and is available straight away as a digi.  It doesnt come with that many swirls in the hair but I just added a line here and there and you know how it goes when you get your markers out - you just keep scribbling!

I've added the tim holtz die cut clock and the organza ribbon I shredded on the end so it wasn't so neat and tidy.  I also used the gorgeous new digi papers called Floral Fantasy, I'm using these a LOT lately as they fill out the card nicely as I'm not really an embellishent heavy kinda crafter so they look lovely.

Colouring close up - I used Orchid, Purple and Aubergine adding some white dots under the eyes with a white gel pen.

This one is also a new one by Hannah Lynn and is called OCEAN ROSE.  I'm not too sure about my swirls at the bottom, too much maybe but I was thinking a frame kinda effect lol!

I'm definately in a colourful mood lately arent I lol!  This one is the fabulous Fashion Melody.  I don't normally go for bright pink much but I'd run out of card to print my digi papers on (I dont like using paper) so I had a rummage through my file at ones I'd already printed out, you know what its like you'll use them one day!  This one was one of them with bright hot pink flowers on and a smidgen of violet so I went with that.  I can recommend that you know to get you outside the box just rummage through your paper drawer and grab anything out and match the image to it.  I think my bright pink promarkers were still brand new up until then lol!

Thanks for stopping by x
