Halloween Series 2016 | Day #6 Dark Queen

Happy Thursday! Don’t fall over! I know that it has been somewhat rare for my to be posting two days in a row! I just really wanted to make sure that this last video in my Halloween Series went up at least a little bit before the big day!

 

I love, love this image from Tiddly Inks. I have had it for awhile now and I just was so happy to finally be able to create with it. I decided to create an Art Journal page using the image as the focal point and to then create a fun background to showcase it!

 

I was a little hesitant to invest in the Gamsai Tambi palette, but I am so, so glad I did. I love the depth of color and the endless possiblities which this palette lends. Watercoloring is something which I “play” with. I am by no means an expert but it is just such a fun and playful way to create backgrounds. My youngest is starting to want to play with water and paint as well and I just let him! He has so much fun!

 

Step by step explanations for both the copic coloration and the background watercoloring can be found in my video below!

Tiddly Inks WinterLight Scene + Video

Happy Friday! It is getting pretty close to Christmas! It is time for Tiddly Inks Fab Friday and I have another page insert for my December Daily to share with you :)

Last year I used WinterLight Wryn for a card and when I saw that there was a new one featuring Ricky, I just knew that I wanted to merge them together to create a large 6x8” scene for my December Daily album. I filmed a video sharing the process from start to finish. You will find it below :)

I used a wee bit of a different technique to color in the Polar Bears. In fact, this is what I generally do when I am coloring in something that is mainly “white”. It works out every time:) Just start with your blender pen and get the area to be colored wet before applying color. It starts to blend right away!

I used a total of 4 inks from 2 different companies to achieve this background. I love how it turned out.

This had to be a starry sky so I used a white sharpie poster paint pen as well as an embossed star to create the effect.

Tiddly Inks ~ Cocoa Wishes + Video

 

Happy Tuesday! It is time for another Tuesday Challenge over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog and this time we have been given the theme of:

Holly Jolly

I thought this image was perfect to create a 4x6” insert for my December Daily album. I sized the image on my computer and then printed it out on Neenah Solar Crest White cardstock. I also wanted to use my new gold metallic embossing powder and found this great sentiment from one of the new SU! sets to use! A little sponging around the edges and my insert was done!

Tiddly Inks ~ Fab Friday

Happy Friday! I am back with another little something something for my December Daily album. This time I have sized a digital image to fit on a piece of 4x6” cardstock.

This is a Tiddly Inks image (Be Merry and Bright Pupmas) that I picked up last year and just never had the time to get colored up. I certainly had to remedy that and I thought today’s Fab Friday challenge of “Any Tiddly make” was the perfect time!

I colored up the sweet puppy and the lights using copic markers. I added some clear Wink of Stella to the lights to make them shimmer. Then I used some SSS Maliblu ink to softly sponge some color onto the edges. The white dots were created using a white Sharpie Poster Paint pen.

Thanks so much for swinging by. Have a great rest of the day.

Tiddly Ink Tuesday Challenge + Video

Happy Friday! It is time to share another Tiddly Inks creation with you! This week the challenge is a very easy Anything Goes.

I am working on getting a lot of the foundation pages ready for my December Daily and I KNEW that I had to use this brand new digital image: Reindeer Games. It is beyond cute :)

I printed out onto some Neenah cardstock and then on some plain printer paper. I covered over the image on the printer paper with some masking paper and then ran it through my printer again. I then had a perfect mask of my image to use to create a sponged background.

The image was colored with copic markers before I masked it and created my background. I used some distress inks and blending tools. Then I used some embossing paste and a snowflake stencil to create the snow. I love how it adds texture to my otherwise flat page.

Tiddly Inks Fab Friday

Happy Friday! It is time to share another Tiddly Inks Fab Friday creation with you!

I have used the brand new digital image: Angelic Wishes

I printed this out and cut it out with my large stitched rectangle die (Lawn Fawn) that measures 4x6”. I know that I want to include this in my December Daily album but how I am not exactly sure. I actually really like it against this patterned paper I used as a backdrop. Maybe I will use that to turn it into a page :)

The image was colored with copic markers and then I tried something a wee bit different for the background. I used some chalk that I have had for ages and ages. It is from Stampin Up and comes in a set of many, many little squares of color.

I added some clear Wink of Stella to the wings and used a white Sharpie Poster paint pen to create the dots on the background.

All new images can be found HERE.
