Cosie's Creative Corner

Spread Your Wings. This month the Image is designed by Mary Smith for Createful Heart Digis and on the Progressive  Freebie team. It is a lovely image and great to colour. I did have to Google hummingbirds as I had no idea what colours they where and there are a lot. I printed two, coloured one with my copics and just the bird on the second image. Used a Spellbinders circle die to cut it out and then placed a die from Kaiser called circle vines over the top and trimmed it to fit. I made sure the bud and the bird tail were not cut cut so they could hang over the die to give it some dimension. Added the second bird with mounting tape after I fussy cut it out, fixed to a purple card base and a nice clean and simple card to add to my stash. Copics:  Flowers: V04,BV11,13,17,YR68. Leaves & Stems: G12,14,24,28,29. Bird: E11,13,44,47,G24,YG41,N9. Shadow: N1,C0.

Memories When I saw the colours for the Tuesday colour challenge this image just popped into my head. Haven't entered it for awhile but had to use the Old Truck from Darkroom Door and it is an old favourite, especially for male cards. The image was stamped on yellow paper then I used my distress inks to colour it up and then prisma pencils for some definition. The same paper was used for the backing and I tore the edge for some contrast, added some twine before adhering it to a black card base. The sentiment is from a kaiser set called True romance. The title doesn't seem to match masculine cards but love that the sentiments give a tile look. This was such a quick and easy card to make and I think it matches the colour criteria.

Australia Day Thanks Every Australia Day two lovely friends open there house for their Annual Australia Day get together.

Just a beaut day to catch up with a great bunch of mates.This is the card I made as thanks to Tony And Venessa for all the hard work they put in to it.

Spring Birthday It's spring here in Canberra Australia and this image is just perfect for a spring birthday. All the blossom and spring bulbs are out and the weather has been lovely and warm the last week. The image is the freebie from Ignacio by Nicecrane for the Outlawz Freebie Progressive monthly challenge. I coloured her with copics then cut her out with a Nellie Snellen  die, layered it on pink Spellbinder oval  and then on the Kaiser PP from their Chanteuse Collection. The flowers and birds were fussy cut from the same PP. The sentiment is from a set called It's your Birthday by Simon Says Stamp. Copics: Skin: E000,00,02,R20,21.

Enjoy Life My first time making a card for Deedee's   monthly challenge and love this cute elephant image . I printed it once then the leaves 3 times and then coloured them all with copics. I fussy cut the leaves and layered them around the image to give some dimension then added a computer generated sentiment. The PP is from Kaiser Base Coat 61/2 x 61/2 pad. The card base and matting cardstock is also from Kaiser. Copics:  Elephant: W0,1,3,5,7. Leaves: YR16,21,24,R08,29,YG63,G99. Shadow: G0000,000,00.

Hugs and Kisses The sketch this week fitted in so well for me as I had just finished this Penny Black image freebie that I have had for ages. There were six free images in some card magazine and have been colouring them up for to have on hand to make some quick cards. These lovable mice just make me happy. I cut them out with a spellbinders oval die then layered it onto a scalloped die cut. The PP is from Kaisers Sandy Toes 6x6 pad that is layered on some pink CS, added the twine then adhered it to a white card base. Used a SU punch for the hearts and covered them with glossy accents for some shine.The sentiment is computer generated, die cut to match the image then adhered with mounting tape. Copics: Mice: W0,3,5,7. Large flower: RV21,23,25,E08. Small Flowers: YR61.RV21,E08. Hearts: RV29. Grass: YG:07,09,23,G09. Sky: BG0000,02. The Sketch
