Cassandra Digi Stamp

from Zuri Artsy Crafty 

(one of our sponsors)

To begin with used an A4 sheet of Pearlised Gold Card

(Ross Papers)

which I folded and cut to make a 14cm Square Base Card.

Next I cut a 13cm Square out of 

Rust Card

(stash)

And then a 12cm Square of

Holographic Firework Orange Metallic Card

(which I was gifted for Xmas)

I then printed off my Image

on White DC Paper

and coloured it in;

using my Promarker Pens.

                                                           Skin -     Vanilla
                                                                           Satin

                                                                           Cyan (Eyes)
                                                           Hair -     Sandstone
                                                                           Cinnamon
                                                                           Burnt Sienna
                                                           Dress -   Coral
                                                                           Spice

                                                                           Cool Grey 4 (Shading)

And using a Gold Metallic Gel Pen

for her Tiara, Necklace, Bracelet and

the Laces on the back of the Dress.

I then Die-Cut the Image out using the

7.5cm Circle Die

(Sizzix)

I placed the 2 lengths of Holographic Gold Ribbon

(Boyes Haberdashery)

And where they meet, 

I Handmade a Bow from the same Ribbon,

and placed it on.

For my Sentiment, I looked Online

and I found this perfect Quote.

I printed it off on White DC Paper,

and Die-Cut it out using the

4.2cm Circle Die

(Sizzix)

For some extra Sparkle I edged both Circles;

with Gold Glitter Circle Peel-Offs

(The Range)

And finally I added

2x 2mm and 1x 3mm AB Yellow Rounded Rhinestone Gems

(stash)

to her Tiara.

Happy New Year + Challenge 114

Happy New Year everyone
Oh wow well December was a rather tough month.
To begin with I got the Flu,
and boy was that bad, 
I just curled up and forgot about the world 
until my body stopped aching.
then Christmas happened
(hope everyone had a great time and got plenty of crafting goodies,
I know I did hehe).
 What happens at this time of year,
days all just seem to muddle together 
and I can never remember what day I'm on, 
or is that just me.

I am so behind on my blogs,
so I thought that to catch up 
I would start my New Year by 
sharing a Project with you everyday.

The Theme at 

Glitter n Sparkle was:-

Modern Christmas Colours

My Project for Challenge #114:-

Cracka-Cat Digi Stamp

from Ike's Art

(one of our sponsors)
Based on one of my own Furbabies,
Smudge....

To begin with I used a pre-cut White 
Cracker Shaped Card,
which comes with the Base Card 
and 2 Front Sections 

(stash)

I used Orange Baubles Paper  
over the Base Card,
and on the 2 Front Sections I used 
Orange Purrfect Christmas Strips
(both Christmas Papers - 
Free from Cardmaking and Papercrafting).
And then attached the sections to the Base Card.

Then I printed off the Image
on White DC Paper

and coloured it in

using my Promarker Pens

                         Cat -               Pastel Pink (Paws)
                                               Coral (Nose)
                                               Gold (Eyes) 
                                               Cool Grey 1
                                               Cool Grey 3
                                               Black

                         Hat -              Poppy
                         Cracker -        Honeycomb
                                               Spice

                                           

Next I Die-Cut the Image out
using the large Apothecary Accent
(Stampin' Up!).
I then added Burnt Orange Glitter
(Glitter Magic)
in a swirly pattern
over the Cracker to make it festive.
And around the edge of the Die-Cut 
I used Holographic Copper Glitter
(Glitter Magic).
And placed a Red DewDrop at each end 
(stash).
Then I placed it on the middle of the Base Card.

For the Sentiment I made Toppers 
using the one that comes with the Image 
(Cracka-Cat - Ile's Art).
I split the two lines up and
printed them off on White DC Paper.
And using Ornate Frame 5
(Go Kreate)
I Die-Cut them both out.
And again around the edges of the Die-Cuts 
I used Holographic Copper Glitter
(Glitter Magic).
On the top and bottom of each one I placed
a row of
 3mm Iridescent Orange Gems
(stash)
Then placed the Toppers in the middle of the 
2 Front Sections.

Down each side of the Front Sections I used 
3 Rows of Bronze Diamond Mesh
(stash).

On a spare scrap of White DC Paper I used the 
Mistletoe Clear Stamp
(Holiday Cheer - Stampin' Up!)
with Tuxedo Black Ink
(Memento).
Then Cut it out
using the large Flower Die from the 
Circle Swirl
(Leane Creatief)
and Coloured it in using my 
Honeycomb and Spice Promarkers.

To finish the Card off I 
Handmade a Bow with
5mm Light Brown Satin Ribbon.
