A little Tutti Frutti.........

Hello lovelies NICOLA here today to show you another gorgeous digi image.

I have chosen to use a digi that I like to call Tutti Frutti which is designed by Sherri Baldy and you can buy her HERE. I think I like this name for her because when I saw her I thought how pretty her dress would look coloured in nice bright colours!

I have kept my card fairly simple as I have used larger flowers and a bright ribbon, I felt this was enough embellishment without distracting too much from the image...

 

I have used Spectrum Noir pens to colour her and the shades are...

 

Skin Tones: FS2 ~ FS3 ~ TN2 ~ FS6 ~ PP3

 

Eyes: Blues ~ TB1

 

Hair: Browns ~ TN7 ~ GB8 ~ GB10

 

Clothes: Yellows ~ CT1 ~ CT2 ~ CT3 ~ CT4 ~ GB5 ~ OR1

 

Outline: Cool Greys ~ IG1

 

I love these colours together and think they are really bright and cheerful...just what we need on a cold winter's day!

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

 

Have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love

A Taste of The Orient.....

Hello lovelies, NICOLA here today with a project for you.

I have made a card today using a gorgeous image from Sherri Baldy which you can buy HERE I absolutely loved My Bestie Cherry Blossom Geisha as soon as I saw her. I wanted to colour her using reds and greys and tried to make her hair kinda black. Now colouring hair dark is not my best thing but I will keep trying to perfect this. You know what they say, practise makes perfect!

So, onto my card and then I will give you the list of colours I have used....here she is....

 

I have used Letraset Promarkers in shades:

Skin: Putty ~ Almond ~ Dusky Pink ~ Sunkissed Pink

Hair: Warm Grey 3 ~ Ice Grey 4 ~ Ice Grey 5 ~ Cool Grey 4 ~ Cool Grey 5 ~ Black

Clothes: Ice Grey 2 ~ Ice Grey 3 ~ Warm Grey 2 ~ Poppy ~ Crimson ~ Berry Red ~ Ruby ~ Forest Green ~ Warm Grey 1

 

I couldn't resist embellishing with these black flowers and the sparkly blossoms, I think they go really well with the colours of the image.

 

Don't forget we have a challenge which you can enter over at the

Sleigh Ride .........

Hello lovelies, Nicola here with a post for you today! I hope you are all ready for Christmas by now with just a couple of days to go till the big day I am sure everyone will be feeling a little excited by now. I know I am, I absolutely love Christmas it's a lovely time to be with family and also remember everyone we hold dear. I love giving my family their gifts and seeing their faces when they open them. I for one will be making sure everyone is up early to see if Santa has arrived! LOL

So, onto my project for today. I have made a Christmas card using Jingle Bears Digi Stamp by Sherri Baldy this is such a cute image. I chose to use a colour scheme of red and purple and add a bit of glitz and glamour too, so I have tried to make the Big Head Dolls face look like she is wearing eye shadow and lipstick!

 

To colour the image I have used Letraset Promarker's in the following shades:

 

Skin tone: Almond ~ Putty ~ Pale Pink ~ Antique Pink

Eyes: Pear Green ~ Winter Berry ~ Tea Green ~ Sakura Gelly Roll Pen Silver Star

Hair & Bear: Tan ~ Sandstone ~ Cocoa

Clothes, Sleigh & Tree: Pear Green ~ Winter Berry ~ Orchid ~ Lilac ~ Amethyst ~ Lavendar ~ Aubergine ~ Poppy ~ Berry Red ~ Crimson ~ Sakura Gelly Roll pens Clear Star, Silver Star, Purple Star and Rose Star.

 

Underneath the sleigh I have used Pinflair Snow Dust and I have added sparkly fibres to look like balls of tinsel.

 

I hope you like my project today, I love red & purple together.

 

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year,

 

Have fun and lots of love

Sweet Like Candy...

Hello lovelies, Nicola here today with my project for today's design team post.

I have made a Christmas card for my Mum using a digi stamp by the fabulous Sherri Baldy

I absolutely love this digi, it is called "Sweet Candy Cane" and you can buy her HERE


I have chosen to go with traditional Christmas colours of red and green and I love using buttons so have added some of these on too for embellishment. I have also added a candy cane embellishment that I had and decorated with matching twine too. The greeting I typed out using my computer. Hope you like my card...

 

I have coloured the image using Letraset Promarker Pens in the following shades:

 

Skin Tone: Almond ~ Putty ~ Pale Pink

Eyes: Tea Green and also added a shimmer using a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen Clear Star

Hair: Tan ~ Sandstone ~ Cocoa

Clothes & Candy Cane: Poppy ~ Crimson ~ Cardinal Red ~ Pear Green ~ Olive Green

Outer Edge of Image: Warm Grey 1

 

The decorative paper I have used is some I already had in my crafty stash and I think it co-ordinates with the colours I've used perfectly.

 

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to showing you my next project soon!

 

Merry Christmas Everyone,

lots of love

A little bit of Christmas......

Hello everyone,

Firstly let me introduce to you who I am! My name is Nicola Jayne, mostly known as NJ in the Crafting World! I have made cards for around 8 years now, but I also love to scrapbook, and make altered art items too. I am on various design teams and I had the pleasure of accepting my post as design team member for Sherri Baldy. It came as a surprise to be asked and was certainly out of the blue, but I am really happy to be on the team.

So this is my very first post as a design team member for the SCRAPBOOK STAMP SOCIETY
The digi stamp I have used has no name yet  but the number of her is 437 and she is by Sherri Baldy and you can buy this lovely image by clicking on HERE

I have coloured my image using Letraset Flexmarkers and Promarkers. I have used snowflake punches to embellish, the papers are some I already had in my craft stash. I have also used something that I bought just the other day, it is Pinflair Ice Diamond which is actually really really fine flakes of glass. It doesn't feel sharp though. I thought it just finished of the larger snowflakes perfectly and around the feet of the lovely image!

 

The colours I have used are:

 

Skin: Flexmarker's - Antique White ~ Tea Rose ~ Dusky Pink ~ Rose Peach

Eyes: Flexmarker's - Saddle Brown ~ Nutmeg ~ Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen

Hair: - Flexmarker's - Light Fawn ~ Nutmeg

Promarkers - Caramel ~ Raw Sienna

Clothes & Shoes: Promarker's - Apricot ~ Amber ~ Gold ~ Poppy ~ Berry Red ~ Metallic Marker Copper

Holly: Promarker's - Berry Red ~ Forest Green

Flexmarker - Chartreuse

Background: Promarker Warm Grey 1

 

I loved colouring this image. I chose these colours as I wanted to stay away from the traditional red & green of Christmas for a change!

 

I hope you have enjoyed reading my first post for the Scrapbook Stamp Society.

 

Pop back soon to see more wonderful design team creations,

 

Have fun and happy crafting,

lots of love
