Good morning crafty friends! It’s the first Sunday in December and that means it’s time for another Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge.

Copic Color Combination

Bird: R14, R17, R35, R39
Feet: W7, W5, W3

After coloring the scene, I used a stitched rectangle die to trim the entire panel to slightly smaller than A2 size. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a scrap of black card stock and die-cut it with a sentiment strip die.

To finish my card, I adhered the top panel with fun foam to a top folding white card base.

All Dressed Up Sleepy Time | Lil Patch of Crafty Friends | Design Team Project

Posted on October 3, 2021October 10, 2021 by pixiedonna

All Dressed Up Digital Images

Good morning crafty friends! It’s time for a new Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge and this month we are sponsored by All Dressed Up. I have been a huge fan of Wendy’s hand-drawn work and love all of her digital images. This month, I opted to use this beautiful image called Sleepy Time. I thought it was a perfect time to create an Autumn-inspired card.

I printed my image onto Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock and colored my image with Copic Markers.

Copic Color Combination

Fox: E19, YR18, YR65, YR15
E33, E31, E30, W7, W5, W3
Yellow: Y13, Y03
Pink: RV06, RV00
Burgundy: RV69, R43

All Dressed Up Digital Images

After coloring the image, I used my ScanNCut to cut the image out then worked on creating the background.

I ink blended a panel of smooth cardstock using Broken China Distress Oxide ink at the outer edges, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide in the center. For a little interest, I added gold splatters by flicking gold spray with a paintbrush.

Next, I created the Fall Leaf Wreath by die-cutting a piece of watercolor cardstock and adding watercolor in several shades of yellows, oranges, greens, and reds.

Once both of the panels were dry, I began adhering the elements to an A2-sized card base. Lastly, I added a white heat embossed sentiment die cut with a wavy banner die.

Morgan’s Artworld Fantasy Fae 18 | Lil Patch of Crafty Friends | Design Team Project

Posted on September 5, 2021September 11, 2021 by pixiedonna

Morgan's Art World Fantasy Fae 18

Good morning crafty friends! It’s the beginning of a new month and the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends begins with a new challenge. This month, Team A is sponsored by the talented Morgan Fitzsimons from Creative Art Design Studio. For my project, I used a lovely image called Fantasy Fae 18.

To begin my card, I printed the image onto Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock and again on copy paper to create a mask. I simply fussy cut the image and add temporary adhesive to the back. I like to use Zig Two-Way Glue Fine Tip. It is permanent when it is wet, but it dries the adhesive is temporary.

Next, I added my mask and ink blended the background. I began with Tumbled Glass closest to the image, then Blueprint Sketch, and finally Chipped Sapphire just at the outer edges of the panel. I added texture to the background with diluted acrylic white paint. And finally, I colored in the main image with Copic Markers.

Copic Color Combination

Skin: E13, E11, E00, E000
Hair: E49, E29, E27, E25, E23
Feathers: RV17, RV55, RV52
Shirt: G21, YG61, G40
Flower: RV09, RV55, RV52, Y02, Y00

After coloring the image, I used a large stitched rectangle die to die cut the panel to an A2-sized piece. I added the sentiment which I white heat embossed onto the background. And finally, I added a few clear round drops.

LeAnn's World 101 Candycane

Good morning crafty friends and happy Fourth of July to those the are in the US! Today we celebrate Christmas in July over at the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. For my holiday-inspired project, I created a wintery scene featuring Candycane image by LeAnn’s World 101, found here.

I printed my image to fit a standard A2 size panel and set it in the foreground. Next, I created the background using Copic Markers. Whenever I create a card with this much detail, I typically work on the background first. This way, if I don’t like the background, I have not spent any time coloring the main image.

Copic Color Combination

Sky: B91, B00, BG000, BG0000
Mountain: E70, E000, E0000, B60, BG0000, B000, B0000

Holly Leaves and Berries: YG17, YG06, YG00, R39, R27
Ground Snow: B00, B000, B0000
White Gel Pen for snow

LeAnn's World 101 Candycane

I stamped the large scripty sentiment and used a white gel pen to add falling snow across the entire card front.

To complete my card, I trimmed the panel using a stitched rectangle die slightly smaller than A2 size card. I added a pink mat to a side folding card base then added my main panel with liquid adhesive.

Good morning crafty friends! It’s time for a new challenge on the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. This month’s sponsor is Ching-Chou-Kuik with her stunning and whimsy images and as always, our challenge is Anything Goes.

I used the Lil Bookworm Fairy to create a scene card, which happens to be my favorite design. After printing my image onto Neenah Solar White 80lb. cardstock, I drew in the details with a pencil. Next, I created several masks and covered my images to ink blend the background.

Using Distress Ink in Blueprint Sketch, I inked up the bottom of my scene card and added Wilted Violet towards the top.

After removing the masks, I colored in the rest of the card using my Copic Markers.

Copic Color Combination

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E21, E11
Hair: E21, E23, E25, E25, E27, E29

Since my card was printed to an A2-sized card panel, I used a large stitched rectangle die to die cut the panel, then added my sentiment by white heat embossing it onto a piece of black cardstock.

I die-cut the panel using a large stitched rectangle die, then ink blended with Distress Oxide inks in Mustard Seed and Dried Marigold, leaving the bottom portion for grass.

While my mask was in place, I added a little interest to my card by adding white splatters. I immediately removed the masks and allowed the panel to dry.

To complete this card, I stamped out the sentiment and heat embossed it before adhering the card panel to a white card base.

Pattie’s Creations Reindeer in Snow | Lil Patch of Crafty Friends | Design Team Project

Posted on December 6, 2020December 22, 2020 by pixiedonna

Stained Glass image

Hi crafty friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend and enjoying some time with your family. A new challenge on the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends begins today. The exclusive sponsor for this month is the amazing Pattie’s Creations. I used Reindeer in Snow and
created a fun stained glass inspired card.

I printed the image onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock at 5” x 7”. I wanted a larger canvas to work on for this card,
as typically, I make A2 sized cards or 4.25” x 5.50”.

Once printed, I used a Copic safe black marker and added the lines to resemble a stained-glass picture. Then I used my Copic
markers to color in the image. This week, I opted not to use any shading when coloring but instead use one marker for each section
and add in several shades for that section.

Copic Coloring Combination

Sky: B99, B95, B39, B37, B26, B241, B21
Moon: Y04, Y02, Y00
Trees: YG67, YG63, YG61, YG25, YG23, YG21
Snow Banks: B02, B00, B000, B0000
Reindeer: E49, E29, E27, E252, E23
Antlers: E77, E74
White Gel Pen for details

Stained Glass image

To finish this card, I trimmed a piece of mirror gold cardstock and adhered it to a 5” x 7” card base. Next, I added the main panel,
slightly trimmed with fun foam adhesive. And lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a piece of black cardstock and
added to my panel.
