Card Kit Fun
Another goodie in my prize pack was a card kit.
It's full of fun colours and die cuts, it's from Hot Off The Press, Gumdrop Card Kit. Not a normal product I would use but I had fun making easy cards.
They are all lovely and bright and as I said, easy to put together taking no time at all. Till next time! Sam xxoo

Another Aurora Wings challenge!
So this months Aurora Wings challenge is using sprites! Such cuties! This is the gorgeous Hydrangea Sprite, I have Coptic coloured her and added liquid pearls to her wings. The paper is from Prima, Jodie Lee Butterfly Collection.
That was fun!! I am just managing to squeeze in a bit of crafting in between school holiday stuff and studying, but I will never understand how I make such a mess with one little project!!!
Have a great day :)

A pull up card
I have never seen these before winning them, pull up cards by Hot Off the Press. So here is my first creation from my wonderful prize pack.
This is the 'card' from the front, it is like an envelope in it self as you just open the top.
The paper is KaiserCraft Charlotte's Dream, an oldie but a goodie!
So that was fun, it was a pack of 5 so I still have the pleasure of creating 4 more masterpieces!! Till next time, Sam.

Craft mess!
How do I work under these conditions! It always starts out as a perfectly clean craft table, then I make a little mess and then more and then BAM! No where to even cut a piece of paper!
I was making a few cards for selling at a market up where my Mum lives, Nhulunbuy. She also makes gorgeous cards to sell. But these three I made quickly from inspiration off Pinterest. I love Pinterest! I used Stampin Up stamps for these cards.
I made this too, but I'm not really taken with it. You know how it is, some you love, some you don't! I don't know why it didn't work, I used Prima Fairy Belle, which is beautiful paper! How could I muck it up!!
I like this better. I think the colours go better and I used Maja Design, Autumn Basics and Pion, Alma's Sewing Room and there is absolutely no way I can go wrong with those!

Not my favourite
Well I finished Marie Antoinette but I didn't like what I did so I'm not going to go through how I coloured her! I will give it another go, colouring clothes can be so tricky! I put Ranger liquid pearls on as pearls but I'm not happy with that either!!!
Oh well!
I'm also having creative block right now so I haven't made anything all week, how sad. I will Pinterest for inspiration :)

New favourite copic colour combo!!
It's in the dress! RV 91, RV93, RV95. Beautiful colours that blend perfectly. I'm sure a few more of my coloured pics will have these gorgeous dusky purple colours.
I thought I would try entering the Aurora Wings challenge ,for the first time, which has a current theme of flowers. I loved colouring this Romanza digi image from Aurora Wings.
The die in the background is from ultimate crafts and is called Careless and Free from the Jadene collection.
Glad I could have a quick craft session today, time gets filled by so many things.
Till next time!

Marie Antoinette, hair with three Es!
Ok so now some hair for our Aurora Wings digi. The colours I used are
I start by colouring with the E11, just drawing the highlight lines. It really helps me to draw this first so I know where not to colour.
Next I take E35 and colour the hair, leaving the highlights, which I added to the top curls too, cause I forgot the first time!! The highlights are only a small space so don't be afraid to get in close with your medium colour. When I colour I will generally follow the lines of the image, or in this case, the hair.
The next step is with E47. Using this I add the darker shading, going around the edges and where I think shadow might go like under curls. You need to make sure you can still see a bit of the other colours under your shading.
Now a lot of people will say don't blend hair, but it really depends on the style and look you are after. I love blending and so I did that next, using the lightest colour, E11. This just means I went all over the whole hair with the pen, making it nice and wet too.
So now I go back over with my middle shade, E35 drawing from the darker colour, but making sure I leave in the thin highlights.
And then I reshade the deeper shadows with E47. It comes up richer because the paper is a little wet. This is also when I pull a few dark strands out into the middle colour, not many though!
Lastly I go over the highlights with my colourless blender, 0, just to make it look a little like a shine.
And it's done . I hope this has helped you!!
Look out for finishing her off soon!
