The elf scene

Hello again my crafty friend. I am playing catch up with some of my most recent project that I have completed but not had the time to upload.

Here is the inside of a card that I have completed using Christmas Elf Luka and Christmas Elf Marci from La-La Land Crafts.

This was a pop up card and I loved putting it together.

 

 

Here is a close up of the images. They were colored with my Spectrum Noir markers, The presents popping out are line stickers that I placed on American Crafts glitter tape and darkened the bows with my SN markers. Luka has Snow-Tex applied to his hat and cuff. Marci has glitter glue applied to her hat and skirt. The background was made using a paper napkin that I cut down.

Coloring on Glitter

Happy weekend to everyone. I wanted to share a technique that I learned last weekend at a crafting class. Everyone there was coloring with Copic markers but me, well I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers of course.

 

 

This is Christmas Elf Marci from La-La Land crafts. She has been colored on Glitter Ritz Micro fine glitter.  The first thing we did was cover paper with double sided adhesive. Next we added that glitter and burnished that glitter well onto the adhesive. After that we stamped the image with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Once dry, it coloring time!

 

Here are the colors that I used:

 

Greens: CG1, CG3, CG4

Pinks: PP2, PP4, PP5

Reds: CR6, CR8, DR5, DR7

Browns: TN3, TN5, TN7, TN8

Skin: FS2, FS4, FS7, FS9

Blush/ Lips: CR3, CR5

White on candy cane: BG1, BG2

Buckle: CT1, CT2, CT4

Shadow: IB1
