Mistletoe Fairy

 Hi everyone, 

Today it’s my last day to share some inspiration over at this year’s Copic Marker Norge Christmas calendar and I’m excited to share today’s card with you. 

I have colored up Whimsy stamps Mistletoe fairy with my Copic markers and cut her out on an oval shape before trimming it as to frame the colored image. I added some dimension tape to the back to pip her up a bit. I went for a shaped card base this time.

Copic Markers I used:

Skin: E04-11-21-00-000 and R20

Hair: E35-51

Wings:

Outfit: B99-97-95-91 and E77-75-71

Leaves: G99- YG 67-

I used liquid pearl on the berries. 

I’m entering this to:

Thank you so much for stopping by today and throughout this last year. I really appreciate it❣️I hope you liked it and that you got inspired to create yourself a happy day crafting too. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. 

Hugs,

-Christine 🎄♥️

Birthday in December

Hi everyone, 

Today it’s my turn to inspire you over at the Copic Marker Norge Christmas calendar again. Be sure to pop over and take a look while enjoying some pretty Christmas music while you look at all the amazing cards the other DT members have made so far.

My son is turning 8 years today and Stich is a big favorite these days. So I tried to draw him as best I could using a reference picture to look at. 




I colored him with my Copic and these are the colors I used: 

Dark blue: B39, 97, 24, 23,21
Light blue: B05, 14, 12, 02, 01, 000
Ears: R22, 20, 00, YR000 and BV 02 for shadows 
Tracksuit: T7, T5, T3, W1, W0 and R24, 22, 20
Headset: C9, C7, C5, C3
Ground:W3,W1, W0



I hope both him and you liked my card even I my drawing skills aren’t the best. But I had lots of fun challenging myself and I’m pretty happy with how he turned out.

Bella bear Christmas card

Hi,

So today is my last inspiration for Polkadoodlesthis year and I made a Christmas card using Door wreath Bella Christmas bear from the Bella bear collection. 



This image makes such a great focal point. As I want this card to be able to go flat in the mail I kept the design and embellishment simple. I played with my Copic markers as usual, and I`m so happy with how this turned out. 

Merry Christmas to you all, and I look forward to share new projects with you next year.
Colours I used:
Fur: E11-E13-E15-E18-R20-R22, E49 E18 for the nose
Outfit: R22-R29-R46-R59-C5
Door: E21-E25-E29-E49
Door knocker: Y35-Y38-E15
Stone:C1-T3-C5-T7
Holly leaves: G21-G94-G99
Background E41-E51
Snow: BG0000-B000-0 Blender

Merry Christmas to you all, and I look forward to share new projects with you in the coming year.

Copic Marker Calender

 Hi, 

It`s time for CMN Christmas calender, and today it`s my turn.

I have made two rosettes that can be used as gift tags, or you can use them as Christmas decoration. 

These are approx. 12 and 14 cm in diameter



The cute little bird is from Conie Fong Art while the unicorn is from Papirdesign.

What I like about rosettes is that you can use up your leftovers from your pattern paper that may not be large enough to use  for other projects. For the largest rosette, you`ll need a 2 1/4 inch wide strip that is 16" long. I have used two 8" strips and on the blue I used a 12" and a 6". Use an edge punch one one side and fold mountain and valley folds. I have scored at every 1/4 inch. Gather the end and shape into a circle. Glue down the inner ends of the rosette to a circle. Glue down your ribbon under the circle on the back. I also punched out a smaller circle in white for the backside with space to write names or a short personal message on.



 Copic colors I used:


Christmas bird:
Grey: W0,T1,T3,T5,T7,T9 and 100 Black
Red: R00, R01, R20, R22, R24, R46, R59 and C 5 to deepen the shades
Fur on hat: W0, W1, W3 og 0 Blender
Leaves: G21, YG 25, YG67, G28
Snow: BG0000, B000, B02
Feet: YR24, YR27 og E09
Stickles and white paint in dots


Unicorn:
Hat: B21, B24, B28, B29
Mane: B01, B21, B24 Noen steder har jeg brukt V01 
Fur: W0, E41, W1
Pink: RV21, RV23, RV 25
Green: YG67

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you liked these projects and that you got inspired to create yourself a happy day crafting too.

Hugs,
