How did you do the fur on her dress? It looks kind of fluffy.

[Maureenp]

Gorgeous. Now do I need that stamp ?? :)

[craftycairn]

Hi Jennie,

I used Doodlebug Crushed Velvet....it sprinkles on like glitter :)

[Maureenp]

I think I might have overdone the glitter a bit?? Still I will learn :) Someone will be happy to receive this ... I hope!!

I used cheap Metallic paints from ASDA on this and was pleased with the colour :)

[craftycairn]

Hi Maureen,

Its a fab card....and I am sure someone will be very pleased to recieve it!:)

Thank you Maureen and Jennie!

Yes it is Coredinations it takes the ink well

[gypsykazza]

Can I ask what colours you used on the girl in pink and blue plz

Thank you Jennie! lol

Tracy I used 3 pink Copic Pens on Ice skating Mimi - Pale Pink RV10, Light Pink RV21, & Pure PinkRV23

I have made a non Christmas card today using 'Birthday Milly' I have used a combination of Copics and Khoor-in-oor pencils to colour this image

[Julie-Ann]

I really like this one, she's so cute. Pity we've just done the 1st birthday of GD....:)

[Creative Treasures]

She is a cutie Janet, i love your colouring :)

Tracy

[craftycairn]

Oh wow! This is just gorgeous Tracy......you have coloured little Mimi to perfection! Well done!X

[Maureenp]

Tracey ... that is so gorgeous. I love the blue.

Janet Is it pencils you use or markers??

[Maureenp]

oops stupid question ... just realised that they are markers!!!!

[craftycairn]

Hi Maureen,

I use Copics mostly but I do like the Khoor-in-oor pencils too

I love the effect of the pencils but blending with the stumps after a while makes my finger joints ache and cramp up a bit (must be old age lol)

The copics are a lot easier to use......I used a combination of both on the Birthday Milly card as they both require very smooth card and I stamp with Memento ink which is good to use with both colouring mediums

Another of my favorite colouring mediums is watercolouring with Tim Holtz Distress inks on watercolour paper.....gives a lovely effect too X

[Maureenp]

mmm, haven't tried any of Tim Holtz distress inks but a friend of mine was telling me this week that she loves them!!

Just ordered a couple of stamps from you Janet ... The Ice Skating one ... so cute I just had to have it :)

Will stamp a few images for my grandaughter when they come as well. :)

Just waiting for my ProMarkers to come so will be able to try them next week

[craftycairn]

Hi Maureen,

Just processed your order, thank you :)

You should enjoy the Promarkers too.....not really tried them but believe they are similar to Copics. you will need a very smooth coated card to stamp on.
Rymans do a pack of 'Bright White Coated Card' 50 A4 Sheets 200gsm. I think it is about £5.99 but it is often on BOGOF....it is excellent.

[Maureenp]

Thanks Janet ...Don't have a Rymans near here!!! But our paper mill is quite good so I will hunt for some smooth card. Thanks for the info :)

[craftycairn]

I also use Windsor and Newton Bristol Board which is a very smooth white drawing pad.....I save this for best as it works out a bit more expensive than the Rymans....but it is lush!
Happy hunting Maureen! X

[craftycairn]

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/picture.php?albumid=2127&pictureid=17576

Another Christmas card made with 'Little Gem & Snowflake'. The image has been coloured with Ciao Copic Markers with glamour dust added for a touch of sparkle. My 'own little Gem' who the stamps are based on is grey in colour. This time I have left her white apart from a bit of blue shadowing for all the Westie fans out there!:)

[maxinep]

He is so gorgeous! and where did you get that lovely flourish punch from?

[Maureenp]

Janet ... Thanks my new stamps have arrived :)

[craftycairn]

Can't wait to see your makes Maureen!:)

:thanks: Maxine for your fab customer service.....my parcel has just arrived!

I just love Pink....it's my favorite colour so I just had to have this kit. I love 3 bugs in a rug so it's a fab combination.

The ornate corners were made with a cuttlebug die.....I think it came in a set of four

[Maureenp]

Well my proMarkers arrived and I have had a play and DON"T LIKE THEM !!!!!!!!!

Help. Is it just me .... I just couldn't get them right. I have a blender pen but the colour looked "wishy washy" after I had finished ... just like a kid would do!!! Maybe I have to play and play. I bought some "High White, Ultra Smooth" 225gsm card to stamp on as well.

Sob sob!! So I resorted to my Prisma Pencils to colour my image which I will hopefully later on make a card with.

Does it take a while to get used to using the markers then??

[babyfairy]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine but they did take getting used to. Now I even use them on wood.

[CraftyCaz]

Well my proMarkers arrived and I have had a play and DON"T LIKE THEM !!!!!!!!!

Maureen, I rarely ever use my blender...You don't need to use the blender like you do when using Prisma pencils. I found it best to pick to colours close in colour...use the lightest, add shading with the darker, and then go over the join in the colours with the lightest colour...and it will soften.
HTH
Caz
x

[Maureenp]

Thanks Caz, I will persevere. I guess it's completely different from using Prisma Pencils so just need to get used to it :)

[craftycairn]

They are totaly different to Prismas Maureen. I have copics as you know and when I first got them I thought I had wasted money because I tried to colour and blend with the blender pen. I only really use the blender to act as an eraser If I go outside the stamp line. It doesn't really erase but acts like a bleach so you can rectify small mistakes with it. I bought my pens seperately not in a set. I chose the colours I wanted and bought a lighter and a darker shade of each so I could use the darker one where I wanted my shaded bits to be. I then went over it again with the lighter to blend out the line between the two shades. I am still building my collection and have 3 shades of each colour now to work the shading but you will be fine with two to start with. X

[TracyG_04]

I cant wait for my stamps to arrive. Love all your cards.
I must say I did not like my promarkers at all when I first got them. They definitely grow on you! It helps when you have a few more colours for blending as in the beginning I found I preferred my watercolour pencils (still love them), If you look on the promarker challenge blog (http://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com) there are some great tutorials

[craftycairn]

[TracyG_04]

The card is lovely Maureen! How did you do the ruff?

[Maureenp]

The dots are made using the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder from Cuttlebug :) The snowflakes are also a cuttlebug die. :)

[Maureenp]

This is a card I made using my Prisma Pencils :)

[mumoftwins!]

Oh goodness, I feel a new addiction coming on

[maxinep]

Janet, do you know what number your pink copic was...I am really finding it hard to find a nice pink, mine are either fluorescent or too dark. Love the stamp!

[craftycairn]

Hi Maxine,

not sure of the numbers as I am downstairs at the moment and the pens are upstairs in my craft room but it was done with a combo of 3 pink pens they are Pale Pink, Light Pink & Pure Pink

[maxinep]

Thanks for that I can work out what the numbers are from that and will have a go

[VAL DER RE]

Hi ladies, just found you and just received my first 3 stamps yesterday -thank you! Am having a bit of a play at the mo, trying different colouring mediums but not happy with any so far. Lot's of gorgeous cards to look at though and great tips so will keep on colouring until I am happy.

[craftycairn]

Another lovely card Maureen!

Looking forward to seeing your creations Val:)

[Debbieh]

Just looked through this entire thread Janet and I can't tell you how much I love the way you make your cards. So effortlessly stylish and simple.

Just wanted to say that really!

[craftycairn]

Debbieh I am in Stourport On Severn but I am a northan lass....just been here 5 years and although I love this part of the country.....my heart belongs up north as that is where my grown up children and grandchildren live :( We will go back one day :D

[VAL DER RE]

Well, after about 12 attemps, on different paper, using different inks and different colouring mediums, I finally had two I was happy with so any more I do should be fine now.

[Maureenp]

Thank you Tracy! Here is a card made with 'Pumpkin Mimi'

[VAL DER RE]

I am enjoying playing with my new Christmas Stamp and since the two I did on watercolour paper with the pro-markers which I was happy with I have done another two on smooth white card and made them really vibrant instead of subtle and I love them. Will get round to uploading but I am very lazy as far as that is concerned so don't hold your breath!

Just meant to ask, out of interest, how many people actually make halloween cards? it isn't anything that we celebrate and I would never send a halloween card.

[craftycairn]

Hi Val,

I am so looking forward to seeing your creations!

re your question:-

I have a lot of wonderful customers from the US and they are very into 'Halloween' and 'The Fall'.A lot of my halloween stamps are already winging their way to The States I have also sold a lot to UK customers too!

Last year I sent my grandchildren and young neices halloween cards and they just loved them! I added a spooky little ryme inside.

If you love card making like I do then any excuse to make a card will do! We released these stamps as a limited addition......there is only so many available. When they are gone they are gone and believe me they are selling fast!

[TracyG_04]

I think the Halloween stamps are gorgeous, but Halloween is not celebrated here at all, although it is starting to be a bit more popular. Last year DD and some of the other kids from our road went trick or treating and a neighbour sent a letter to one of the other kids mums. Basically told her she was a satanist and shouldnt be allowed out and how could she call herself a Christian!
SO I dont think there would be much scope for me to make Halloween cards lol

[VAL DER RE]

Hi Janet,

It is great that your stamps are selling to the US, they really are big into Halloween, probably as big as Christmas. I do know what you mean about any excuse to make a card, but I have such a small family and the few children that there are don't really celebrate halloween, although some of the designs would be lovely for birthdays around that time.

It just seems such a faff having to get the lighting right to take the photo of the card and then upload it to the computer, then play about with it etc., etc. A BIG exaggeration I know but that is how it feels to me. When I have finished a few other cards I will do them all at once, it doesn't seem worth it for one or two cards. I suppose because I am sat at a computer all day at work the last thing I want to do when I get home is sit in front of the computer.

[Maureenp]

Our new local craft shop say may be stocking your stamps soon Janet :)

[TracyG_04]

That is what I like about cards Val, I just scan them in much easier than a lo where I have to get it right lol

[VAL DER RE]

Maybe I will try scanning instead then see how they turn out and if it is a bit quicker.

Another card using 'Winter Milly'

[VAL DER RE]

That is gorgeous Janet. Here is the first card I have made using one of the Christmas stamps I got from you. The first images I coloured in were very subtle but I like the bright ones I did better. I know the colouring in isn't brilliant, but I like them and I am still very new to the Pro-markers. I have also uploaded some flowers I made and coloured in using the PM'S onto my blog.

[craftycairn]

Aww they are beautiful Val.......and your colouring is just lovely!x

[Maureenp]

Thats gorgeous Val. I love the spotty effect .... how did you manage it so perfectly??

I have just had a look at your blog and " what fantastic flowers you have made" ... wow they are gorgeous

[VAL DER RE]

Pure luck I think:lol: or the white pen I used! Thanks, for your lovely comments I can't believe how many people have mentioned the flowers, especially when really, they are just doodles really. They are really easy to do but quite enjoyable if you want something to do in front of the tv.
