Scrappers Delights Tutorial

Hi all,
Today I'm sharing with you a tutorial on how I made my card 

First I started with colouring the skin with copics.


Now it doesn't matter if I go outside of the lines as I will be cutting the image out.
Next I coloured the hair.


I then coloured in the goggles, flippers and trunks


I then cut the image out and put it to one side.
Now to start on the background.
I used Distress Oxides to make the background.
First I used brushes to brush the two colours over the card.


I then drip some water over the top to make it look like water.


I then cut the background out, stuck the boy where I wanted him 
and added some dots to give it some dimension.


I then stuck it to the base card and my card is finished.


This is quite a quick way to make a background.
You could use a circle stencil to make circled backgrounds and so on.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial

Valentines Cookies

Hi all,
Happy New Year Everyone.
I've given myself a couple of crafty challenges to complete this year.
First I am going to have a go at showing how I create my cards via a video.
I have my Arkon stand on it's way so hopefully I can get started soon.
My other challenge is to really concentrate on my copic colouring especially when colouring clothes.

Onto my creations.

I’ve also used the Fancy Frame Dies and the Nested Heart Dies
