Hawaii Heaven

Dear followers

As promised, heres a few cards I have made whilst I have been isolating...

The first card, is a favourite of mine from www.mosdigitalpencil.com and she's called Pineapple Girl.

I thought I would create something that had a 'holiday' style theme so I would have something to look forward to when this virus leaves us all for good (fingers crossed).

I coloured the image with copic ciao markers and then added a black spotted background to a red base card. I added a plain white ribbon and a spotted red ribbon and mounted the image onto the same red cardstock as the base.  I then added some single white flowers to finish it off.

The second card I made has a similar theme.

This card was made using another image from www.mosdigitalpencil.com and she is called Kalei and she can be found here.

For this card, I used an orange colour scheme.  This is slightly out of my comfort zone as I very rarely use the colour orange, preferring red, black, blue and pink.

Anyway, I coloured Kalei in the same was as Pineapple Girl, using my copic ciao markers and mounted the image onto red and orange card stock.  I used the same orange on the base card and added some leftover white with orange dots. I added an orange with white dots ribbon, and above that some pink washi tape with the message 'you make me smile'. I then added the mounted image and some of the same white flowers to the card to finish it off.

Inside both cards, it simply says 'wish you were here... but glad you're not', as I have given these to family members who I haven't seen since the UK lockdown began.

Hope you like them and wish you all well.

Love always, Fae xx

Coronavirus Lockdown

Hi everyone, Fae here

We have just hit week four of our UK lockdown, Boris Johnson is recuperating at Chequers and I thought it was about time that I shared some of the projects I have been working on recently (thank heavens for my little craft shed). Firstly, I'd like to share a card I have made for this month's Challenge over at The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog (Bunnies', Bears and other B's), you can find the link here if you would also like to take part.

So, obviously, its a Boy...

Coloured with Copic Ciao Markers. Image is from www.mosdigitalpencil.com and the images used are called Morgan Doll and Morgan Soccer. 

Morgan doll might seem a little pricey to begin with but you get so, so much with it (not just one digi stamp but several) and, Morgan Soccer is free, just an extra add on to make additional items to use with the doll. It does help to have an idea of how to use .png stamps etc to rearrange them onto the doll but, it's not actually necessary as there are many tutorials available to show you how to do this.

The boy in question is celebrating his 21st birthday and is a huge Charlton Athletic fan, so I googled the colours and got cracking. I downloaded a blank football (yes... football, not soccer ball) and coloured it. I then added some star embellishments that came with the 21 (available at Hobbycraft in a variety of colours and all milestone ages). Added all these to a simple plain red background on white 8x8"cardstock and this is the finished product.

I do hope you like the card and hope that you are all staying safe and beating the Coronavirus boredom.

Stay well everyone,
Love Fae xx
