Happy Hour by Hetty Clare for Little Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #211 on the 6th of August, 2023

Hi All!

Welcome to my post about my card for challenge #211, the 6th of August 2023 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my completed card:

Our sponsor for this challenge is Hetty Clare:

 

prize: 2  images

I chose to use Happy Hour, which I have digitally printed the image on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured with the following Copics markers:

• yellow - Y11, Y15, Y19
• black - C5, C7, C9
• white - C00, C0, C1, colourless blender
• strawberry - YG03, G24, G28, R20, R22, R24, R29, R59
• glass - C00, C0, C1, C3
• drink - RV00, RV91, RV93
• umbrella - B14, B16, B18, Y11, Y15, Y19
• ice - BG0000, BG000
• table - BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV01
• outline - B18

I have cut out the image using my paper cutter and a scalloped border cutter (Creative Memories) and adhered it to a piece of the Celebrate Paper Pack from La-La Land Crafts and then on to a white square card from Envelope Solutions.

I have stamped a sentiment from the August 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts in Nautical Blue Memento ink.

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a photo close-up of the colouring before I cut it:

I have digitally printed the To Us image on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured the image with the following Copics markers:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04
• hair - E19

• outline - B18

I have cut the image using my paper cutter and adhered it on to a white card from Envelope Solutions.

I have drawn some inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her awesome Monthly Classes.

For the Celebrate sentiment on the side, I have die cut three dies the Celebrate You die from the May 2015 Club La-La Land Crafts kit. I used only the Celebrate word in a brown, black and red cardstock and adhered them together with some glue. Then adhered the stack to the card. I outlined the diecuts and tried to highlight the word with a red glitter pen.

Here is a close-up of the colouring, both finished and at the beginning:

I had a bit of a problem with R27 leaking over my image and around my workspace - I went to work with red ink all over my hands! Hopefully I have covered it up on the image!

I am happy I chose this image and coloured it with a sunrise, as after watching the Wimbledon Tennis Saturday night into the wee hours and seeing Ash Barty win, then finding out that Dylan Alcott had also won - this is how we would feel the next morning - celebrating our Australian tennis stars!! 😂
