I have had so much fun creating a set of Asian influenced cards using the fabulous Geisha digis from Simply Betty Stamps  http://simplybstamps.net/ . They are a new release today and I am sure everyone is going to want to snap them up. I already have another set printed off to experiment with...Betty has given out some tips on colouring the images faces different ways and I am going to experiment with some new skin tones.
My papers for all the cards today are from 'Bird Song' by Graphic 45 (I have had this one for a few years now and finally used some of the pad...I have a sad addiction to G45 papers and am happy just looking at my stash!)

New Commission G cards- Simply Betty Stamps

 

There is a brilliant new release of Commissions over at http://simplybstamps.net/  today. All of the design team have coloured in some of these ready for the release and of course there was Victorian Vicky that I coloured earlier in the week.

 

 

Tree Day

This image reminded me of my trip to England last year where I visited a National Trust park and did hug a big Oak tree and made my Mum, Aunty and Uncle do the same for a photo.

 

Sing Out

I really loved colouring this one. I know this image is going to be used many times.

 

My apologies to people using my colour ideas but for this one I have put my list down SOMEWHERE!! I will try and locate them and add the details in later. In the meantime I am going to say you are going to love the images from Betty that will be on here tomorrow SO much and I have included all of the details there.

Please stop by simplybettystamps.blogspot.com 

and see everybody's great creations using the Commission G digis.

 

Victorian Vicky

Today I have a little card for Vicky using the image of her drawn up by Betty. Betty is very talented at creating commission pieces for people and this image is part of the new Commission G set that will soon be released at http://simplybstamps.net/ .

I coloured the image using the following Copic markers:

Skin: E50, E51, E21, E93

Hair: YR23, YR18, E29, E39

Dress: G20, G07, G24, T4, V06, V09

 

 

I used Spellbinders dies to cut out the frame for the picture and sentiment.

Martha Stewart punches were used for the lacy border (Garden Gate) and sprig.

Other embellishment were Mulberry Paper flowers from my stash and purple Portocraft bling.

All paper pieces were distressed using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.

Now for the card to arrive across the sea via snail mail!

Have a fantastic day, Vicky and enjoy looking at all your cards!

Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. Waterfall Stickles was added to the wings and the fairy's eyelids.

Feathery Boudoirs- Simply B Stamps

The new release from http://simplybstamps.net/ is just a few hours away and the images are going to have you wanting to get out your markers straight away...in the meantime, I have been keeping busy colouring up the beautiful Feathery Boudoirs. The first one for today is Tail Feathers Melissa.

 

 

I coloured her using Copics and some Prismacolor pencils to add details on the fan. Other details on this card include the use of a Marianne Designs die, a Spellbinders die in the background, Kaisercraft Sparklets, Bella bling . The flowers and lace were from my stash.

 

My second card is using the digi image Feathery Betty. I have to admit that the blue was not my favourite colour choice but I was trying to play with some different colours. I hadn't thought about how many shades of blue there are until I tried matching up papers and flowers...aaahh!

 

 

I have used a Martha Stewart punch 'Deco Tassell' in the background. Bella bling and some blue Basic Gray rhinestones are used for decoration and the flowers are from my stash...yes, it's far too big!! Again I used Copics to colour adding detail with Prismacolor pencils. The two work nicely together.

 

I am entering these cards into the following challenges:

Reading With Goblins Journal Cover

I have been experimenting with monochromatic colour schemes today and have used the W series of Copics along with a black Prismacolour Pencil to colour the gorgeous Steampunk image 'Reading With Goblins' from the Beauty and the Beast series over at http://simplyb.net/ .
To make up the journal cover, I tried unsuccessfully to spray colour the canvas cover using Dylusions- the black ink failed to penetrate the layers but dyed my fingers! LOL
I had more success with black gesso- onto which I added layers of paper from Prima's Printery 8x8 paper pad. The flowers were also by Prima but are a few years old. I added different metal charms using gel medium.
Now to think of what I will be putting inside the journal! Have fun crafting and if you stop by Simply Betty Stamp's blog page over the weekend you will see there is a great offer for purchasing the steampunk images- I am sure you will get totally addicted like me! Jackie
