Deep Ocean Challenges DT Card

Hi everyone how are you all?
I'm back with my DT card for Deep Ocean challenges, is it really 2 weeks since the last challenge? Wow is it me or are these weeks flying by..........
Anyhoo's our new challenge this fortnight is super duper, easy peasy, seriously peeps.........
DISTRESSING
........see now how easy is that!!! So get your inks, your scissors, your Tim Holtz tools or whatever else you use & distress your stuff ;0)
I have duffed up the edges of my papers with a' Distresser Tool' & inked them with Pumice Stone distress ink & as always I've machine stitched them. This is just a topper I'm keeping in my craft room on display as inspiration.

The Doily is from my stash, I cut it in half, inked the edges lightly & layered them between paper layers, so it looks like there are 2 doilies on there.

I have used one of my favourite laces, tbh I need more, tbh I need a shopping trip very soon at LLC, it feels so long since I did shopping there lol. Honestly........instead I've been spending the money on our home, garden & of course my family <3 a="" all="" also="" essentials="" few="" get="" had="" i="" p="" soon="" tell="" to="" ve="" very="" will="" you="">

The image is from Aurora Wings which I won. This one is called 'Waterlily Fairy - Lotus' & I coloured her up ages ago, nearly as soon as I got her so cant remember all the copic colours, but I will tell you the ones I remember or know by sight lol.
E11, E21, E00, E000, R20 - Skin
B97, B95, B91, B00 - Eyes
V99, V95, V93, V91, V00 - Flowers
E40'S maybe for the hair.
Sorry I dont remember more than that :0( I have to say I really enjoyed colouring this one & it may be my favourite by Aurora Wings, its also why I went with one of my favourite colour combo's ;0)

I also went with my favourite paper company Maja Designs, & the top layer is LOTV 'Timeless Victorian' which have beautiful lilac's in it. The 'Key' charm & the 'Bark Heart' I have also added white gesso to them.

Obey The PIxie Nerd

Hello my lovelies how are you all?

Now my card today is another CAS card, I know I think I'm sickening for something lo, but I do like to keep my creations different & step outside my comfort zone..........I just have to FORCE myself to walk away when I want to start adding my foofiness!!
Now the gorgeous image is 'Pixie Nerd' & I cropped her & added this awesome quote next to her. Now this is fine to do as long as you DO NOT alter the image in anyway but if ever you are unsure please contact Krista or what-ever artist image you are using. PLEASE respect their art & the hard work they put into it for our enjoyment ;0)

As always I coloured her with copics, colours used are........
E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20
E49, E47, E44, E43, E40
R85, R83, R81, RV10
C7, C5, C3, C1, C00
Background colours are...... C3, C1, B00, B000, C00

Now when hubster saw the card he said he loved it & it needed nothing else..........yeah but me being me decided that a small resin flower in the corner wouldnt hurt, would it? It matches so well its like it was meant to be there ;0)


Pop on over to the Saturated Canary shop for more of Krista's awesome digi's & if you didnt know like if you've been abducted by aliens or something Krista has recently added some uber awesome new digi's to her shop. I know I say it everytime but I think this one may be her best release........til the next one ;0)

Anyhoo's my lovelies, tatty bye & thank you for stopping by it really means so much.
I'm decorating today & hubster is finally fitting my new doors, woo hoo.

Ooops nearly forgot lol, the papers are Prima 'Lyric' & as always they have been machine stitched.
