The 30 Day marker challenge (#2)

Hi everyone
I've been saying for almost six months now that my mojo has been missing.  Although I'm still not into card making right now, I'm trying to get back into colouring.

In June I came across #thedailymarker30day2 .  If you want to read more, there's a website here.  Basically it's a promise to take a bit of time to colour every day for a month.  I waited for July....and forgot to start!

I did remember the other day...yes 1/3 of the way through July!  haha.  Rather than wait I decided to start.  I'm posting them on Instagram and when I can remember I'll post on here too with my copic combos.

Day 1 is a digi by Simply B stamps  called Cannon Pirate Betty

 Skin - E000, 00, 21, 11, 13, 04

pants - B93, 95, 97, 99

coat - R24, 35, 46, 59, 89

cannon - C03, 05, 07

hair - E44, 47, 49

I'm not sure if you can find Day 2 stamp in digital.  It's by C.C. Designs called Cupcake Birgitta and it's pretty old now.

 Skin - E000, 00, 21, 11, 04  R20

Hair - Y21, YR23, E15, 18

outfit - RV23, 25, 29  V01, 04, 06, 09 B01, 04, 06 BG 45, 49

It doesn't show well but the wings are RV52, 55 with a clear Spica pen

I'm not thrilled with the result of Day 3, especially the hair, so I'll be re-doing it.  I do however LOVE this new stamp by Saturated Canary.  She comes as part of a 40s/50s decade duo found here.

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

Hair - R24, 29, 59 E18

Dress - B63, 66, 69 with a white pen for polka dots

Slinky Tart - Super Spandex

Hi Slinkies!
K, I'm crossing my fingers my friend doesn't see this....  She just got a promotion, and is a big comic fan (her wedding even had that theme!).  As you can guess, her first name starts with an "L".  This is Super Spandex.

I'm a big Wonder Woman fan but didn't want to do this too traditional...but the primary colours scream "super hero" to me.  I had so much fun colouring the folds of her cape!
The sentiment is from Simply B.

Copics used:

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

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.

Copics used:

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

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!
