Birthday Rainbows

Hi everyone!  I have a new post.  Woo hoo!  I have made this one up for my very best friend and I know that she won't see this before she gets it!! 

There are a lot of details so may be a long post but I want to get everything down that was done to make it.  First of all the front images are from Magnolia Ink and I used the Tilda with ponytail and the log thingy!  It was colored with Copics and they are:

Shirt - G21, 24, 28

Lace and socks - C1, 3, 5 and then on the socks I went over with B32 and B34

Jeans - B32, 34, 37

Log - E57, 33, 31

Hair - E59, 39, 25, 53

Skin - E50, 000, 21 and RV10 for the blush

Shoes - C00, 1, 3, 5

I don't know what company the background paper is but I made my own for the phrase piece using the Clearsnap Fluid Chalk Inks in Sour Apple and Ocean.

The glitter swirl was Superstock 130 lb paper from Canadian Scrapbooker and then I covered with the Scor Pal tape.  Ran it through the Cuttlebug and used the Tim Holtz die cut.  Peel off the liner paper and covered with the Glitter Ritz in Canadian Blue. 

Flowers are from Magnolia.

Here is a close up of the coloring on the Tilda stamp.

A quick close up of the phrase and then one of the inside.  If you would like any other details on how this was done, just let me know.



This one is being entered in the challenge at Magnolia-licious where the challenge is to use blue, green and white or clear. Wish me luck on this one!!

Golf is the Game

Here is a cool little golfing Tilda and with the golf season wrapping here in Edmonton I thought she would be fun to color.

Here is the list of the Copics that I used on this one:
Pants - E40, 41, 42, 43
Shirt - R81, 83, 85
Club - C5, 3, 1, 0
Hair - YR21, 24, 31
Skin - E50, 000, 21

The dot background was a white piece of paper and I ran it through the Cuttlebug using the dot embossing folder.  Pearls were colored with a Copic marker and the phrase was stamped with watermark ink, embossed with green powder and then I colored around and over the letters with the Clearsnap Chalk Ink in Olive Pastel and Amber Clay (I think)!

One more picture of the golf green on the inside.

I colored the golf green with:

YG03, 23, 25, 63
E40 42
Y15, 17

The little mat behind the green I made by just tracing around it and cutting slightly larger.

I haven't put any phrases on the inside as I am not sure who am going to give this one to.

As always, I would love to hear what you think of this.  Love to read your comments and I really do want to know what you think.

Scarecrow Thanksgiving

Here is another Magnolia creation using the Scarecrow Tilda. 

I tried to get the pleats and folds colored but they didn't come out the way that I had hoped.  Sigh!!  The angled strip at the top is a Tim Holtz die and I applied the Glitter Ritz to the piece.  The phrase was an old Stampin Up one that I had. I colored little Tilda with Copics and they are:

E31, 33, 35

YG61, 63, 67, 11

E50, 000, 21, 37, 39, 35

Y11

Let me know what you think of this one and if you want any more details just let me know. 

Outer Space

Hi there!  I really need to do this on a regular basis!  Here are some new creations. 

The first one is little Astro Tilda along with the space ship and moon.  I also used the phrase "Fly Me to the Moon".  All of the stamps are from Magnolia.

I have really used a lot of different Copics in this creation.  Here is the list:

Astro Tilda

YR04, 14, 16, 18

C00, 1, 3, 5, 7

Friends Page

Here is one that I have wanted to do for quite some time and finally got it done!  Great friends on a fabulous page with techniques from the wonderful Cathie Allan.  The inks are all from Clearsnap and the whole page is shimmery with Tattered Angels Mist.  The little file folder opens up and I wrote the journalling inside. 

I would love to hear what you think of this one and if you want any details just let me know.  Cheers to the girls in the pictures.  You guys are the best!!
