Cosie's Creative Corner

Have you been good. This is such a cute image this month, well every month they are cute but this one is sooo cute. I kept it simple with a round window showing a snowy scene and with the temp here in the 30'sc I wish I could have really had snow outside. Cut a frame for the window and coloured the sky with faded jeans and chipped sapphire distress inks and added two snowbanks. Used a white gel pen for the snowflakes. Santa was coloured with copics and adhered with mounting tape for dimension. Copics Skin: E000,01,53,R12,20. Suit & Hat: R08,37,89,B0000,000,00. Gloves: E70,71. Boots: N1,5,7,9. Beard: C0,3. List: E000,Y000,00.

Gerda Steiner March Challenge Carrot Bunny Have not posted for a while but it's been rather hectic the last couple of months. Flew to Bali for a friends 60th and had a lovely 8 days with the girls lazing by the pool and shopping. Home for a few weeks then starting repacking for our Stamping cruise to New Zealand. I think I am addicted to them as this is my 5th and its double the fun. Love to cruise and doing my favourite craft is the icing on the cake. Now time to get back into the swing and my first card is for Gerda's monthly challenge.  This month the challenge is to use this cute bunny with his carrot. Gerda has the most adorable images and they are such fun to colour. Coloured the image with copics then cut it out with a zig zag stitched oval die from MFT  and mounted it onto a 2nd oval cut from paper from Kaiser's Bluebelle 61/2 in pad. Cut two rectangles from the same pad, adhered them to an orange card base and mounted the image with dimensional tape . The s...

Happy Valentines Flying to Bali this morning and realised that I hadn't upload my card for this month so this is a quick post. The image is coloured with copics then mounted inside the cut out from MFTs on a scrap piece of heart PP. Was a freebie from a magazine ages ago. Coloured a second heart and paws to give it some dimension but doesn't show up on the photo. Added some white ribbon, 3 punched hearts, coloured to match then add it to a red card base with dimensional tape. Also added dimensional magic to the bears eyes, nose, sentiment and the extra hearts. Copics:  Bear: E11,13,15,18,W10. Hearts: R22,35,37,59.  

December Challenge Peace Santa As soon as I saw the image this month I had this picture in my mind of what I wanted to do with it. Taken me most of the month to find time to make the card but I'm pleased that it turned out the way I pictured. I stamped the world background stamp from Dark Room Door  with Ranger Archival Watering can ink and coloured it with distress ink Antique Linen and Tumbled Glass. I wanted it to have a softer look behind the image. Santa is coloured with copics then cut out with a pierced oval die from MFT . I printed two images and cut the banner from the second one and added it to the main image to give it some dimension. Used mounting tape to add it to the map that was then adhered to the black card base. The sentiment is computer generated and it is bigger than I normally would use but I wanted it to stand out. Copics:  Hat & Suit: R24,27,BG000. Belt: N3,5,7,9. Boots: W5,7,9,10. Skin: E51,R05,20. Beard: C0,1. Gloves: W3,5. ...

Love you Pumpkin I made it for this months challenge. Hooray. Has been a very busy month and this is the second card I have managed to do. Just don't know where the time has gone but at least this one is ready to go. The free image is this gorgeous Hedgehog and he has the most adorable grin on that cute face. I coloured him with copics then cut him out with a MFT die then adhered it to my background. Made this by stamping with a background stamp from Darkroom Door  called fallen leaves that I coloured using distress inks to give it an Autumn feel. I added two orange strips to this panel then attached it to the brown card base. The sentiment was computer generated then cut out using a Mama Elephant die and attached to the card. I thought it was missing something so die cut some hearts with an old cuttlebug die and used mounting tape to add them on the left corner and one onto the sentiment. These have glossy accents over them  for a nice shine. Copics: Pumpkin: YR04,...
