Another Fly By

When I was playing with cloud backgrounds a couple of weeks ago, I also did this background using distress oxide in Mermaid Lagoon, I used a light touch and spaced the clouds a reasonable distance apart compared to my usual clouds which gave me lots of lovely white puffy space.

 The image is called Sky's the Limit from Kraftin Kimmie, it is now retired but I did find a link HERE where you may be able to still purchase it.
I coloured up my image with Copic markers and Promarkers

Box Card from The Whole Herd

 A couple of posts ago, I shared a card for the Mix It Up Challenge fancy folds challenge, I mentioned that I had made another fancy folds card.
I hadn't made a box card in ages so I decided to get my hand back in and give one a go.

I used Hay There stamp set by lawn fawn along with an alpha dieset from them and added sentiments from You Goat This

I coloured the images with my copic markers.

I know there are tutorials for box cards but I just made mine on my score board with no measurements, playing around with the score lines and eyeballing it.
I really enjoyed putting this one together and it has definitely got me in the mood for adding some interactive elements on some cards.
So I am off to have a play and will post the results in some upcoming posts.

As always, thanks for popping by,
Lou

Pop It Up With Southern Girls Challenge

This fortnight at Southern Girls the theme is about popping things off your projects.

I went for the obvious and popped the image and sentiment up with foam strips.

The image is called "Baby Elf" and is from this challenges sponsor Julia Spiri

I gave the promarkers a break this time and used my copic markers instead, because I have more greens and browns in my copic collection.

I used the sketch from "Feeling Sketchy"

The sentiment is from Hero Arts and I bought it about 8 years ago  and can't for the life of me remember the name of it but it has loads of "Thinking of You" stamps in it.

Thanks loads for dropping by

Yay Kites

Hi, Louise here today to share with you a card made with the Lawn Fawn Yay Kites stamps and die sets.  These are available now for pre-order over at Bizzy Bec's shop.

This was my first time actually using a stamp set with a matching die and it was pretty simple.

My only tip would be use washi tape to hold the dies in place when cutting.

I coloured my images with markers and foam mounted some of them against the base of the card.

For the hills at the bottom of the card I used Stitched Hillside Borders also by Lawn Fawn

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my first post as a member of the Design Team  at Bizzy Becs :)

The EastWind New Release Card - Diva Lisa

If you follow me on Instagram (@loulouforsyth)  you will have seen a sneak peek of this image early last week.  She is Diva Lisa from The EastWind

.

I love her as she has a big chest area just like me :)  Although I am really not sure I could pull off that dress after 4 kids LOL.

I coloured her up with copics and taking a leaf from my good friend Trace's  book of colouring tips and used prisma pencils to highlight, but I only did her hair with them.  I obviously haven't quite got the technique down because it made my blending look a bit crap.  BUT I do like the conctrast so hey ho, I'll let it go, let it goooooo  ;)  

I actually coloured her before I had picked out papers too, which is quite unusual for me and definitely not part of my normal crafting process.  I chose these papers from The Garden Tea Party stack from DCWV which is so old you probably can't get it anymore, even in an antique shop.

Thanks loads for dropping by, have an awesome week and Happy Scrapping :)

DTC - Sketch Challenge

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge we have a sketch for you created by Natasha.

Here is my take using a Saturated Canary image called Rainy Day, the papers are Prima Romantique.

I coloured the image with copics.

I love how this card came together, the colours are lovely and subtle and the colouring turned out really well. It is the first time in ages I have managed to get the hair looking good.

It is so nice to be c=back on line this week after losing both the phone and internet last week.  It was all fairly traumatic as my husband was away and I was home alone with the kids and no way to communicate with the outside world unless I got in the car.  Thank goodness that is all sorted.

DTC - Use Your Stash

My first card for my new spot on the Digital Tuesday Challenge, this week we want to see your hoarded stash on your projects.  I have had these papers in the packet unused since I was an SU demo which was quite some  time ago.
This week we are sponsored by Spesch Stamps, I have used one of the cute images on my card.
Hope you will come and join us :)

5 Of The Best

I am doing a little post to aplly for a DT call and I need to put 5 of my best projects up for them to have a look at.  Hmmmm narrowing it down to 5 could be difficult as I always think the projects that I have fun making are my best, but then what I love and other people love is completely different.  So here are my 5 favourite projects <3

First up, a white with one card that I did for a challenge using a Mo Manning "alice" image, I love how this turned out and it was my first time taking something like this on as usually I love lots of colour.  So a deffinite step outside the box but one I thoroughly enjoyed.

 This one I made for a Valentines Challenge at SGC ( mine and Trace's challenge blog :) ) It uses a Tickled Pink image.  I loved colouring this image which I altered in PSE7 as it is a full body image.

 My pretty little bauble which is one everyone else loved when I put it on my blog, I prefered the one with buttons but I have to keep my readers happy xox

The Art Journal cover on my SILs birthday pressie, which took AGES with all drying time but I really enjoyed making.

And last but certainly by no means least a layout of my boy Angus, I love this photo and love this layout as I am MAD on stars!

Righty well that wraps up my fav 5, hope you enjoyed looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them.

The Paper Shelter - Snowflakes

A bit more of a traditional Christmas card this time, the theme at The Paper Shelter Challenge this week is Snowflakes.  I have used "Cookies for Santa" available from The Paper Shelter shop coloured with copics and prisma pencils.  The sentiment is from Hero arts and is stamped in SU Chocolate chip ink.

Thanks Geoff!!!!

I made this little cutie for Geoff who works with Andrew at Hatuma, he sent us a lovely Peter Rabbit book for  William and a lovely book that is a true story about a puppy called HERBERT for the other  little Forsyths to congratulate them on their new brother.  The thing that is so surprising is that Geoff is unmarried & lives on his own!  I was so blown away particually when I opened the books up and he had written a lovely paragraph in each one.  What a great guy, and just so you know he was until recently single, a great catch for the lucky lady that has snaffled him I think.  The image is from PollyCraft and I have used their Sketch from the challenge for my card.  

 H

Here is a close up of my blinged up star, coloured with Copics and Prisma pencils and then covered with Tattered Angel Glimmerglam in Pixie Dust which gives it awesome shine and bling.

And here is a close up of the coloured image, I am regretting having left my copics gathering dust for a while since I have gotten my prismas because used together and then blended over with OMS the results are awesome.
