I was given the digital stamp Star Bright from LeAnn's World 101 which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending Card. I have used my paper cutter to cut around my image, followed by colouring with the following Copics:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E1, E04
• hair - E23, E25, E27, E29
• eyes - BG45, BG57,  BG49

I have adhered the coloured image on to a square card from Envelope Solutions.

Here is a close-up of the colouring before and after the addition of the background: hopefully you can see some sparkle!

Christmas in July Scavenger Hunt

CHRISTMAS IN JULY SCAVENGER HUNT!
Over $360 in prizes to be won!
The contest will begin at 9:00am EST on July 21st, and will run until midnight July 31st
There are 34 participating shops, and all will have a hidden picture, in one of their listings, that you will have to "hunt" to find! Each of these shops has donated a prize worth at least $10; that is a minimum of $360 in prizes!!! There are 7 prize packs available to be won, each worth a minimum of $50. Winners will be chosen at random by random.org, based upon the number of complete entries received.

********************HOW TO ENTER*******************
First go to: pcfteam.blogspot.ca and look for the link for the starting shop. Find the candle image in one of the listings and then follow the link to the next shop on the scavenger hunt list! Every time you find the hidden picture, that item description will give you a link to the next shop. As you go through the shops, make a list of all shops in the order that you are given them. At the very last shop, you will be given an email address; you will send your completed list to this address. If anything is incorrect, you will be notified, and given a chance to re-do the hunt again to get it right!

***********WANT MORE CHANCES TO WIN? READ ON!!!**************
Everyone who sends a complete shop list, in the correct order, will receive one entry to win a prize pack.
If you "FAV" all the shops in the hunt, you get another entry.
If you "FAV" one item from each of the shops in the hunt, you will get a third entry.
If you promote the event on your Blog, on Facebook, Twitter, etc, and send Nichole (kidd.robin [!at] ymail.com) a link to the promotion, you will get 5 extra entries!

****SUPER DUPER PRIZE PACK DETAILS- MINIMUM $360 VALUE *****
In addition, all the participating shops have donated second prize! All 36 prizes have been combined into one HUGE prize pack. This pack is valued at a minimum of $360!!! The winner of this super duper prize pack will be drawn from entries made by shopping at PCF Team (Promoting Creative Friends Team) shops during this event. Each dollar spent at a PCF Team shop during this event will earn you one entry...each dollar spent at one of the 36 shops in the hunt will earn you 2 entries. The more you shop, and the more you shop the more chances you have to win! Please send transaction links of all purchases to Nichole at kidd.robin [!at] ymail.com. Please include the transaction links, dollar amounts for each purchase, and the shop name you purchased from.

Winners will be chosen on Aug 3rd :) They will be announced on Nichole's blog at: ciaraandcompanybowtique.blogspot.com/, on the PCF Team blog at: http://pcfteam.blogspot.ca/ and on the PCF Team Facebook page at www.facebook.com/#!/pcfteam, and will also be notified via email.

Christmas in July

I'm getting ready for the Promoting Creative Friends Christmas in July event.
I just sent these four cards to the two lovely ladies that are organising the Christmas in July Scavenger Hunt:

All four are coloured with Copics pens! I am still working out the whole shading thing! :)
Also, because the Copic pens go through the paper, I adhered a piece of Christmas paper to the inside front part of the card.

So I have used Sunny Christmas Marci and Sunny Christmas Luka digital stamps from La-La Land Crafts, printed on X-Press It paper, which I have coloured with Copics pens (skin: E00; lips of Marci: Lipstick Spica pen; hair: E35; Marci's dress, headband and thongs: R32, R35, E31, E02/RV13; lights that Marci is holding: B05 (string), YG00, B02, R35, YG03 (top), RV10, YG00, B02, YG03 (bottom); Luka's clothes, hat and thongs: YG03, B02, B05, Clear Spica pen; Luka's presents, bag and candy cane: YG00, B02, E31, R35, YG03, RV13).

The tags were in my stash (I bought them from a Craft show last year), the Baker's twine is from Koko Vanilla Designs and the Merry Christmas stamp is from Jo-Ann Craft Essentials, stamped with Rich Cocoa ink by Memento/Tsukineko.

These cards/tags are also displayed in the La-La Land Crafts Customer Gallery!

I will definitely make some more of these (perhaps with more Christmassy colours!! :)) and list them on Etsy in my shop: JemLou Productions.
Thanks for looking! :)

Christmas in July and another Scavenger Hunt

In the Promoting Creative Friends Team on Etsy, we are doing Christmas in July....we are also doing another Scavenger Hunt, amongst other events.
Here is a cute picture of a pig, advertising the Scavenger Hunt:

More details to follow.....I need to finish off my gifts and send them first! :)
My shop will be participating in the Scavenger Hunt event.

Hopefully I will post something over the next couple of days with some new items for the Christmas in July event!
