New Card - Bon voyage

I have been a little slack over Christmas, but it has not stopped my creativity!
Here is a new card for a challenge at Cupcake Inspirations:

I have coloured Travel Marci from La-La Land Crafts with Copics, then fussy cut her, attached her to some Kraft card (Envelope Solutions). The Bon voyage stamp is from KaiserCraft, stamped in Cocoa Memento ink.
A Kraft envelope (Envelope Solutions) is also included.
The Copic pens I used were:

• skin: E00, E02
• hair: YR20, E33, E35
• hat: E00, E02 (i think!)
• dress/pants: R20, R22
• boots: E33, E35, E37
• purse: R20, R22
• suitcase: E00, R20, R22
• background: BG10

This card will also be displayed in the La-La Land Crafts Customer Gallery and will be for sale in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Link to follow.

I have some other new cards that I will post later this weekend.

Thanks for looking! :)

Christmas Gift Tags

Here are some Christmas Gift Tags I made using Copic-coloured Sunny Christmas Marci and one of the new La-La Land Crafts Christmas 2012 Stamps: Christmas Elf Marci.

The red gift tags are from my stash (I think I bought them at a craft fair last year).

The sentiments: "Deck the Halls" and "Merry Christmas" are adhesive ribbon from Jo-Ann Essentials.

Both Sunny Christmas Marci and Christmas Elf Marci are fussy cut and attached with pop dots. The gift tag is finished with Baker's Twine from KoKoVanilla

Sunny Christmas Marci was coloured pretty much the same as previous, click here for the link to the colours used.

Christmas Elf Marci was coloured as follows:

• skin: E000, E00, E02, Lipstick Spica (lips)
• hair: E31, E33, E35, clear Spica
• hat and dress: R20, R22, R27, YG00, YG03, YG17, Y17, YR04, clear Spica (red dots)
• tights and shoes: R20, R22, R27, YG00, YG03, YG17, YR04, clear Spica (buckles)
• holly and berries: R20, R22, R27, YG63, YG67, clear Spica
• candy cane: R20, R22, R27, YG00, YG03, YG17
• background: BG000

These gift tags and more will be for sale in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Click here for the link.

Happy Travels with Travel Marci

Here is my latest card:

I coloured Travel Marci monochromatically with Copics markers as this was a challenge on the La-La Land Crafts Facebook Page.
I then used Cardabilities latest sketch for inspiration:

Travel Marci (La-La Land Crafts) was digitally printed on to x-Press It paper (LimeTart), then coloured with the following Copics Pens: E51, E53, E31, E33, E35, C1 (background).
The card base is Kraft (Envelope Solutions), a piece of blue textured cardstock (DCWV) was attached to the card, then strips of a paper from a Spring Stack (DCWV) from many years ago were hand-cut as banners and attached to the blue cardstock with Washi Tape (LimeTart). Travel Marci was attached with pop dots and "happy travels!" was hand written with Chocolate Spica pen.
This card is displayed on the La-La Land Crafts Facebook Page and the La-La Land Crafts Customer Gallery.
This card is for sale on Etsy in my shop: JemLou Productions. Click here for the link.
