Another Birthday

Saturday 11 July 2015

Another day, another wintery arctic blast, or so we've been told to expect!  Whatever the weather outside it's perfect for a Saturday afternoon of card making!!
Nathan has a party to go to this afternoon so I've used the same balloon from my last card and made this one...

It's very bright and bold, but I'm hoping perfect for an 11 year old boy :)  I've coloured it with Inktense pencils then matted on to black card then a textured white card stock.
I had another card that I printed out ages ago to colour so I finished this one off as well..


I've printed this image on smooth white card stock then coloured with Copic markers, adding a few highlights with pencils.  These images are from a digi set I'll be releasing as soon as the new store is open..which isn't far away now.
Have a wonderful afternoon whatever you may be doing!

Smiles,
Andrea


Birthday Balloon

Thursday 2 July 2015


Hi all, I hope it's warmer where you are than it is here!  We've had a week of frosts and fog until lunchtime and then not much sunshine from there...not nice at all, but it is wintertime!  It's also school holidays here in Victoria and a great time to catch up on all those jobs that seem to get pushed to the side, but not a lot of that is happening here!
Today I had my Inktense pencils out once again because I just love how easy they are to work with, and I've coloured an image I created a couple of weeks ago to make a birthday card for a friend.


Using the pencils I coloured directly on to the watercolour paper then used my brush and water to spread the colour and shade.  I only used two colours and even those these pencils are beautifully bright and vibrant they can also be subtle if you draw the colour out and away from your image.

It's time now to do a tidy up in my office and to get back to work (housework)!  Have a great day wherever you are :)

Smiles,
Andrea
