Dancing Penguin - Colour Crazy Challenge for 28th of September, 2018

Over at Colour Crazy Challenge it is ANYTHING GOES, as usual!

This week, we are very kindly sponsored by "Fred She Said"!

I have used Dancing Penguin to make my card:

I digitally printed the stamp on X-Press It Blending card, then used my Silhouette Cameo to cut it out.

I then coloured with the following Copics Markers:

• black of penguin - C5, C7, C9, C10
• white of penguin - C00, C0, C1, colourless blender
• feet and beak of penguin - YR12, YR14, YR18
• white of hat - C00, C0, C1, colourless blender, clear Wink of Stella
• red of hat - R32, R35, R37
• bell - Y23, Y26, Y28, clear Wink of Stella
• snow - C00, C0, C1, BV0000, colourless blender, clear Wink of Stella
• background - B0000, B000, B00

I embossed a white square card from Envelope Solutions with a snowflake embossing folder that was a freebie from Quick Cards.

Then I adhered the coloured image to the card.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

Season's Tweetings - The Merry Christmas Challenge for September 2018

Hi Everyone!

This is the first time that I am posting as part of The Merry Christmas Challenge blog!

It is great that I get to use all my Christmas crafty items at least once a month!

The theme is ANYTHING CHRISTMAS!

Your projects can be cards, tags, scrapbook layouts, wreaths or other Christmas projects.

So here is my latest Christmas card:

I have used Chickadee in Barberry from the lovely Marcella at Power Poppy. I have digitally printed the stamp on to X-Press It Blending Card and then used my Silhouette Cameo to fussy cut it.

I have used the following Copics:

• Chickadee - E40, E43, E23, E37, W1, W3, W5, W7, Copic multiliner, pitch black Spica pen, white gel pen
• Berries - R14, R17
• Leaves - YG91, G82, YG99
• Branches - E74, E77
• Snow - C1, BV000, colourless blender, clear Spica pen
• Background - BG000, BG02

Here is a close up of the colouring:

I have adhered the coloured Chickadee to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.

The sentiment and musical notes are from Tweet Tidings again from Power Poppy. I stamped them using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and my MISTI!

Of course, I need to give a shout out to the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder. Also a shout out to Amy Shulke at Vanilla Arts - her Red Bird class is awesome!
