Pen Holder - part 2... embellishments with Copics...

Here's my post that should have been up yesterday... Sorry for the delay, I'm still battling the same headache that kept me from the computer yesterday so you'll have to bare with the brevity of this post...

Last fortnight I said I'd show you my completed pen holder for  Mad for Markers' 'Anything But A Card/Layout' challenge. I like things clean and simple so this is what I ended up with...

 The ribbons and flowers are all coloured with BV00.

A notebox set.

Good evening everyone,
This is a very late post due to a very naughty little monster named Poppy! she is all tantrums at the moment so i can only get stuff done when she is in bed.
Ok! Now she is asleep i can share with you my creation.

I decided to make a box set for note cards,tags etc.
I used a bunch of Fynmark nostalgia papers and made a box for my note cards to go in.
I decorated with a Fiskars border punch called lacy doubles, and then got colouring with my copics to make the 6 cards to go with the set.
I also made a little note book with a cute typewriter stamp coloured with copics also.

All 6 cards are the same in the set.
For the some odd girl stamped image i used the following colours...
E00,02,11,29,33,35,37,47,49 and 57
R22,24,27
Y11,15,17
B95,97,99
I also used 0 colourless blender solution with fabric to make the denim effect of her pants.

For the typewriter i used, C0,3,5,7 and red glitter.

As you can see in the note set, there is a note book, a section for your stamps, a pen,tags, mini cards and the 6 note cards also.

I hope you have enjoyed this little collection, If you are interested in the instructions to make this set feel free to email me at osirisandloki(at)gmail(dot)com.

All the copics i used can be purchased at the Mad for Markers store along with many some odd girl stamps!

Copic Refill Inks..

Hi everyone,

I decided I would have a play with the ink refills for copics on some photo paper,

So I created a background using the inks and then stamped some images over the top. 

Colours used were C1,C3,RV21 and RV20.

Here is the finished project all framed up.

It was fun just to play around with the inks by just dripping them onto the photo paper...

you can come up with some lovely patterns!!

3d item

Hi all, it's Kasey here, I'm so excited! This is my very first post as the newest member of the Mad for Markers design team.  Wooo Hoooo!!! thanks Sammi for inviting me to play with your amazing Design Team for a while.

This month's challenge is all about doing something other than a card or a layout.  If you look to the entries for this month, you'll see my little flower shoes there at 1st spot.  

I've also got a 3d item for you.  Shhhh it is actually a card, but what a card!  This teepee card is amazingly simple to make and such fun. 

 I've used three amazing Anyas on this project and they were such a joy to colour up. I've also coloured some flowers to match my Anyas.  Lots of bling and some nestie trims.  For a list of all the copic colours I've used, please go to my post here.

 Sammi has a fabulous range of Copics, accessories and stamps in her store. 

Can't wait to see what amazing projects you come up with.

Cheers,

Kasey ~ in Oz

Pen Holder - part 1... using a Mist-It...

This month at Mad for Markers we're looking for 'Anything But A Card/Layout' so I thought I'd share with you a project I'm working on. I decided that my desk required a little more organisation and that such organisation would be a good excuse for some craft... so what follows is part 1 - stay tuned for the completion next fortnight...

First step (after finding the surface of my desk below all the layers of things on top of it) was to give my new pen holder a background, so I used my Mist-It filled with a mixture of B79 refill and Colourless Blender.

Then I coloured the main image using E50, E51, E33, E35, E37, B02, B05, B24, B29, BV02, BV04, BV13, V12, V15, RV02, RV04, YG09, YG17, G07, G17, YR04, Y08. (*)

(*) I almost took this image back off the holder again because I couldn't find where I'd put my list of colours... hence the lateness of this post (plus the sleep I had this afternoon before finding it)
