Crafters Companion Aqua & Brown Challenge

This is my entry for 'Crafters Companion' challenge.

The stamp is from 'Patchwork Polly' and has been coloured with water colour pencils. I have made the flowers from the same double sided scrapbook paper as the frame and background. Although it hasn't shown up too well the flowers were glittered on the edges.

Pretty bird cage

The bird on a branch stamp ( Papermainia 'Henbury Lane set), was coloured using brush marker pens directly onto the stamp and stamped onto a smooth white card. Then I used blue chalk to dust over the background of the image. Then using the birdcage stamp (Dimension Fourth) I used Versamark and gold embossing powder (Sheena's Wow Powder). The background papers were from a 'Magnolia' pad from My Minds Eye.

More Polychromos colouring

Stamped image from Crafters Companion 'Celebration Parade' set. Again using all the same techniques as listed below. The background papers came as a free gift with Quick Cards magazine Feb issue.

This stamped image is from the 'Popcorn Bear' series from 'Crafters Companion'. I used a slightly textured paper from 'Papermania' their Preimum white pad. The image was stamped using black Memento ink. I used Polychromos Pencils (Faber Castell) using 2 shades each of yellow, blue and grey. After applying the colour I used a fine paper stump dipped into artist white spirit and blended the colour. Ice Sticles in lemon was used around the edge.

Playing with Promarkers

These cute little house stamps are from Polka Doodles and have been coloured in using pastel shades of Promarkers and shades of green and grey for the gardens, foliage and path.

This image is from a set of 'Murray and Ethel' stamps and are favourites with the ladies who buy my cards - especially the text! coloured with Promarkers.

These lovely images are from Cute Companions again coloured in with Promarkers.

This fun bird stamp is from Elusive Images. The background papers are from Polka Doodles 'Sugar Birdies' CD. The stamped image was embossed in gold and coloured using pastel shades of Promarkers. The text was outlined with Promarker.

This stamp is from an 'Elusive Images' stamp set. The bird and tree were embossed with gold powder. The bird was masked off to allow easy colouring of the sky using Sky blue and 2 Warm Grey Promarker pens blended together. The white embossed background is from a Cuttle Bug embossing folder and lightly chalked over.

Pretty in pink

Main image stamped using a 'Debbie Moore' set of stamps. Coloured in with 'Pro-markers' and added a bit of silver glitter glue. I used a 'Martha Stewart' punch for the edges of the foiled card.
