Pirate mermaid

-

Hello everyone!


I've been quiet for a while. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know why. Last Friday one of our doggies crossed the rainbow bridge and I'm heartbroken. I didn't think I'd find the energy to craft, but like many times before the coloring process is good for me. It takes my mind off of things. So today I'm sharing this pirate mermaid card with you.



Digital stamp seem to challenge me more in my coloring. Larger images, more details. And that's just what I needed! I first printed this digital Faery Ink Pirate Mermaid Jolly Roger on Neenah cardstock and colored it with my Copics. I then cut it out with a My favorite things Mod stitched rectangle die.



So, she's perched on a rock wearing a longfull look on her face and a pirate's hat. Obviously she's missing someone special. And with everything that's been going on here, the MFT Miss you die just seemed appropriate. I die cut it from white carstock 4 times and layered them, embossing the top layer with WOW! Pink Fizz embossing glitter.



I adhered a piece of craft foam on the back of the panel and backed it with some patterned paper. I added details with my white Gelly roll pen before running my clear Spectrum Noir glitter pen over the mermaid tail and her bandana. Finally I glued on the sentiment words.

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-brugere, uanset hvor meget eller hvor

Masculine birthday card

Hey everyone, Today I'm sharing a masculine card. It seems to be something a lot of us strugle with, but since I had my oxide inks out (see post from yesterday) I ink blended one more panel using Faded jeans, Broken China and Cracked Pistacio. I just love this combo. I placed the panel in my Misti and prepped it with my antistatic powder tool before stamping the Simon Says Stamp Ornate background stamp. This is one of my all time favorite stamps and I keep going back to it. I often use my Versafine Onyx black and clear embossing powder, but for this I used Stampendous black embossing powder because it has a really gorgeous raised glossy look.  Just look at that shine! The TILLYKKE sentiment simply means congrats and is from Simple and Basic. I die cut it from black cardstock 4 times for dimension, and covered the top layer in WOW! embossing Vintage peacock glitter. TIP: The die does not come with a shadow, but i turned it upside down on a black
