Two tu-tus

I hope you have all recovered from the New Year celebrations, we had a very quiet one as Chris was at work on New Years Day and even though a drink didn't pass my lips I had the fuzziest head, a walk along the sea front soon sorted that out for me.

So on to my card for today

Sweet little Ballerina's called Two Tu-Tus by Mo Manning and can be purchased here

Round Nestabilities dies to cut out the image which I coloured with Copic markers, I used the airbrush behind the image for shading and teamed the image with DCWV cotton designer papers, 3 buttons a bit of glitter to the fairy wings, a bowed ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

New Year New Baby

So that is the end of 2010 and I thought I would say goodbye to the Year with a New baby Girl Card, something to make you all smile. I can't say that I'm sad to see the back of this year having had my fair share of health issues many of them still ongoing but I'm looking ahead into 2011 hoping to resolve some of them with new meds.

I have however met some wonderful new friends here and had the support of ongoing friends here too so the year wasn't all bad.

I'm still saying prayers for my wonderful friend Katie and I'll be doing some fundraising to help her in 2011 to which I hope you will lend your support.
Happy New Year everyone, I'm wishing you all good health for 2011

So onto my Baby girl/ Christening Card

Baby Girl is by the talented Mo Manning and can be purchased here

Coloured with Copic Markers, the cross was made with a Martha stewart border punch I punched both sides of 2 strips of paper then used the airbrush to add a lemon tint to the edges of the cross I also cut slits in the cross to thread in the lemon ribbon and added a lemon rose to the center.

A close up image of the Baby Girl pretty in lemon with glittered petticoat and boddice.

Copic Airbrush Tutorial

I thought it would be fun to show you a little tutorial with the Copic Airbrush you can get pretty much the same effect through sponging as the scene I have created but to be honest this takes a lot less effort and it is a great way of experimenting with it.

I will show another tutorial later of how to mask an image and add some shading around it to make your image pop but this one is more to talk you around the airbrush and to show you how easy it is to use.

Part 2

Teacup Fairy

Teacup Fairy is buy Mo Manning and can be purchased here, coloured with copic markers and teamed with a backing paper that I've had in my stash what seams like forever, I think it may be a K & Co paper, a prima flower and there is some embossing work done on the Nestabilities Label die cut but it just isn't showing in the photo for some reason.

Just the cutest teacup I've ever seen, dotted with a couple of pearls to set it off.
