I wanted to do something a little different (for me) and stick to a more simple style, so I concentrated my card around a fussy cut image and then added a few further embellishments to enhance the theme. A stamp set called "Eggscellent Stamp" from Bo Bunny helped me achieve this. The eggs, grass and sentiment were from this set, and went so well with Angie's bear digistamp. I coloured using my Copic markers and added some highlights with a gold Wink of Stella pen.
The background paper is from the American Craft Heidi Swapp Minc Signature Paper Pad and foiled using rose gold and my new mini Minc machine. (big grin here and happy dance) It is so much fun to use.
Looking back, I need a gold "Happy" die cut to add above the "Easter". I'll have to check out what I've got.
Check out the challenge, play along with us and have fun at Get Creative Challenges.
At long last I've managed to produce my very first video tutorial! (Though there is a doozy of a wrinkle in what I've produced - more later.)
My video(s) demonstrates stencilling using BoBunny's Glitter Paste. I made a card using a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (even though I was too late to enter my card in the challenge).
The Copic marker colouring I did in my video took so long that the video ran to almost 30 minutes. Needless to say, YouTube has a beginning rate of less than 15 minutes. What do you do??? Make three videos instead. If you can wade through them, I'm sure you'll find something of interest.
DISCLAIMER: At no time during the making of this video was I drunk or under the influence of other recreational drugs. (Just in case you're wondering by the time you get to the third part.)
Seriously, by the time I got to filming the last part of the video, I was starting to get tired and my brain stopped working, everything slowed down and I was forgetting the names of things. It was funny, even though it was actually happening to me. Anyway, the card is literally completed and I forgot the name of a material used - too late to reshoot - so I've gone with the bloopers and all. You really have to watch to understand. (I'm trying to whet your sense of curiosity so you have to watch it! Ha ha ha ha!!!)
I recommend watching all 3 parts (of course), but if you know how to colour using Copic markers, skip Part 2 and just go onto Part 3.
Anyway, here are the links for all three parts. I hope you enjoy watching.
Part 1 (stencilling)
Part 2 (colouring)
Part 3 (assembly)
Bye for now,
Love,
Janelle
P.S. If you have any thoughts about what you would like to see me do in future videos (acrobatics is not possible) drop me a comment with your suggestions. :)
