Happy Birthday Friend

Happy Birthday

A friend I have known for 48 years is having a birthday this month and I wanted to make her a special card. She has had a hard time the last three months so hoping this will cheer her up. Anything to do with Japanese culture is her thing and I found this gorgeous image from Little Blue Button called Sweet Geisha Charlie and here is the result. Used Copics to colour her and patterned paper scraps from my stash for the background. The red and orange small flowers were punched from old Carl punches and the large cream one with a Fancy That die. Attached the sentiment with some twine and my Geisha was done.


Copics: 

Skin: E50,51,53,R20.
Eyes: G12,14,and White Gel Pen
Hair: N3,5,7,9.
Dress: BV11,13,17,YR16,20,21.

I printed the image twice, coloured her with copics then fussy cut one to mount over the card front. She was then doubled mounted with black and blue CS and adhered to the card base. I really love the CAS look of this card.      Copics: Skin E000, E00, E02, R20. Hair E70, E71, E74, E77. Wings B0000, B000, C3, C5. Heart Y11, Y15, Y17, Y23, Y28, C1, C3.

Gerda Steiner June/July Challenge

Image
Gerda's  June/July Challenge Watermelon Kid Gerda is having a summer break so we have two lovely images for latest challenge . I have coloured both but this is the only one to make it on to a card. Hopefully will get the next one done before the cut off date. Watermelon is such a happy summery image and just screamed to be coloured in bright colours. As we are in winter down here in Australia was nice to think of warm weather. Kept it simple and coloured with my favouites, copics, and am happy with it. The sun is  from a set by Verve  (currently out of stock) but was just  right  for this scene. The sentiment is from the same set. The boy is layered and fussy cut as well as the sun, then mounted with dimensional tape on white card. I then added it to a blue card base. Copics: Skin E000,11,13,R20 Hair YR21,E25,35,37,77 Shirt Y06,08,15 Pants B95,97,99 Watermelon G14,28,R000,24,Black Multiliner pen 0.1

Gerda Steiner August Challenge.

Image
Best Buds Freebie challenge. This image from Gerda this month is just so cute and I have kept the card simple to show it off. I used a background like this for an ATC I did last week and liked it so much I am using it again. This time I added the moon and some grass diecuts and love the finished card. The image is coloured with copics and the sky is brayered with a Kaleidacolor ink pad in blue breeze. It makes such a beautiful night sky. The stars are so easy to do with a white gel pen. Just add different sized dots and voila, a lovely night scene. The image was fussy cut and added using dimentionals and the sentiment was stamped in white ink with an old alphabet set from Making Memories.  Copics:  Dog: E55,57,W10, white gel pen for tail. Mouse: N1,3,5,W10,RV000, freckles white gel pen..
