The East Wind - Aurora Love You

hi everyone!
Today I'd like to show a colouring I've created to enter The East Wind's first Instagram contest.  This is Aurora - Love You.  I'll be using her to create a Mother's Day card later.

Skin - E000, 00, 21, 11, 13, 04 R20

I lined the eyes with a black .05 copic muli-liner and then coloured her iris with a Spica pen.  I love the sparkle it gave!  The picture really doesn't do it justice.

UPDATE: Here's the card!

Slinky Tart - Cut the Crap

Hey everyone!
Here's a new make I made using the Slinky Tart image Cut the Crap.


I recently got a new hair dresser - and can I just say she is A-MA-ZING.  I saw this image and wanted to make her a card.  When another woman has such control over you, it's best to be on her good side!!  lol
There are lots of new images in the Slinky Tart store.  Also there's now a sister line at the Spunky Tart store.  The images are still sassy but not so smexy.    And don't forget to join the Slinky Tart fb group so you can see all the images as they pop out of Tamara's head!

Copics used:
Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E13, E04, R20
Hair - E25, E29, E49
Outfit - R21, R23, R25, R29

Slinky Tart - Smokin Hot

Hi friends!
I am in a serious crafting slump.  I've gone from colouring almost every day four months ago to once or twice a month now.  Fortunately these Slinky Tart images are so fun that every time I finally pick up my Copics I go "why don't I do this every day?!?".

When I saw the image Smokin Hot in the Slinky Tart store, the timing was perfect.  My friend and pole instructor's birthday is coming up, and the image lent itself to merging the two together!

Here's my friend Michelle, doing what she does best!  Amazing, right???


Now Michelle's birthday isn't until May (I'm banking on her not seeing this!), but here's a peek at the card I made for her....  Thanks for looking!
Copics used:
Skin - E000, 00, 21, 11, 13, 04  R20

Shorts - YR12, 14, 18

Slinky Tart - Queen of Hearts!

Hi everyone!
Today I'm bringing you a make with one of my favourite new stamps.  This is Queen of Hearts by Slinky Tart.

I've learned through sharing in our DT group not everyone understands the phrase "in spades".  It means to have a lot of something.  This quote says "You've got Heart in Spades".

Now I know we all love these sexy images, however some in the crafting world don't appreciate them being shown.  There's a new facebook group called "Outside the Lines" where images by ALL artists are welcome.  Please join us!  And as always enter your Slinky makes on our fb group.  It's secret but leave me a comment and we'll get an invite sent out to you.
Until next time, have a great week!

Slinky Tart - Illeana

Spring is on the way - and this sexy gal makes me think of flowers!!!

Copics used:
Skin: E000, 00, 21, 11, 13, 04
Hair: E53, 55, 57, 59
Dress: black, C07, 05, BV11, 13, 17

This is Illeana by Slinky Tart.  When I decided to work with her a couple weeks ago she was one of the newest images.  But SOOOO many new ones have come out since!  Please visit the store, the FB page, or the Blog to see the awesome new images and what you can do with them.

Here I kept with a monochromatic look.  I sprinkled some purple Frantage to get rid of the harsh white around the image.  I added a variety of purple ribbons, lace and flowers.  I think the card would be great for a birthday, get well, or anniversary.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to post your Slinky Tart makes on the facebook page so we can all admire your talent!

Slinky Tart - Narissa

Hello everyone!
It's official, I've hit a crafting slump.  I haven't been colouring (usually a daily activity).  I have to FORCE myself to make a card, and that's how this one got its CAS design!!  But in the end I was really happy with it!

She's Narissa by Slinky Tart.  How awesome is she?  It was sooo hard for me to pick an image to work with because Tamara, artist/owner of Slinky Tart, has been rocking the new images!!!!  Be sure to check them out - so cheeky and fun!

The phrase was a lift I found on Pinterest, but unfortunately the link to the original artist was broken so I can't reference her - but I don't get credit for the cute saying!  I inked my stamp with yellow, orange and red to try and mimic the scales on her tail.

Copics used:
Skin: E000, 00, 21, 11, 13, 04 R20
Hair: black, C09, 05
Tail: Y13, Y19, YR 14, 16, 18, R24, 29, 39
