Aussie's Abroad

Well I thought it was about time I posted something in 2013. I've been enjoying a little break from creating by reading over the past couple of years and thinking about all the different craft projects I've completed or at least started in that time. I've also been considering all the different things I'll like to get done this year so I hope you enjoy them as much as I will...

This week I did manage to do a little colouring and pulled out my trusty Copics in my new favourite shades to colour up an image for the Mad for Markers Challenge this month. The theme is Australian for Australia Day on Jan 26th so I thought I'd remember all the Aussies abroad who'll be having a colder Australia Day than me...

Red,White and Blue

No Way!! Thursday again?! And its the third week of January already!

This is not good news for me, only 4 more sleeps until my youngest starts big school. Oh I am so not ready for this!

Moving right along, before I have to break out the tissues, lol. I have a card to share with you today for the current Mad For Markers challenge, which is a colour combo to use either Red, White and Blue or Green and Gold.

For my card I have used Kenny K's digi image "Skateboard".

I really wanted this image to be 3D and pop off the page so I printed it twice and cut out the boy and the skateboard separately and stuck them on the the first image with some 3D tape. I tried to take a photo of it for you but it's a bit hard to see.

I even managed to decorate the inside of the card this time too.

Copics used to colour this image were:

Skin - E00, E000, E1 ,R20 and R22

Clothes, helmet and skate board - B21, B24, B26, B28, R24, R27,R29, C1, C3, C5, N0, N1 and N3

I used my red Spica pen to colour the red star on the front and the ones inside of the card.

You still have time to submit your project to our current challenge so come on, show us what you got!!
