Graveyard Vamp

This is the second card I made with the Destiny Graveyard Vamp  by Faery Ink that I colored with Prismacolor Pencils for Kit and Clowder October Create and Learn Class.  I made a 6 1/2 x 5 1/2 Easel card for this "alternate" coloring color combination suggested by Alyce. The fence in front is cut from Estate Fence, a Memory  Box Die 98285 and the sticker bushes are punched from the Martha Stewart fir branch punch. When open the Boo graphic and the haunted house are created in Photoshop, and the witches boot is diecut from Cottage Cutz  CCP-046


The open card is pasted at the Kit and Clowder Facebook competition this month

Kuick's Sweeties

Here are two more of Ching Chow Kuick's beautiful graphics.  The top one is called Wishing Stars, and is mounted on SU real Red Cardstock and inset in to holographic gold star paper cut ovals (SU Framelits).  Tiny stars are punched from the star border punch (SU)  She is finished with Poca white dot paint accents.

The second card is made with  Ching Chow's adorable Snowflake Angel.  This is behind an acrylic window that is embossed with Sizzix Holly Swirls (657139) and surfaced with silver wink of Stella (like her wings)  Both are worked with Prismacolor Pencils.


Jody Bergsma _Love is the Joy of Life


I am so pleased with my first effort with Jody Bergsma's new Coloring book.  The images are beyond perfection (as all her work is), the paper is magnificent, and my prismacolor pencils brought me pleasure as I did Love is the Joy of Life.  The very very light background is better defined with more subtle colors than show in this photo.  Wink of Stella and Gelly Roll Clear star, touch up each feather in the humer's throats and surround the design in side the artist drawn frame. This is one gorgeous finished piece and will probably go to my framer this week.

Wee Miss Holly

Wee Stamps Holly is the prismacolor pencilled cardfront on this 5 inch square card.

Christmas Morning---Art by Miran

This image "Christmas Morning" was created for the  Art by Miran  Anything Goes Challenge. She's done in Prismacolor Pencils, with Posca gold, Wink of  Stella and a foil diecut shape from Spellbinders Borderabilities (S5-180).  She's matted on SU Rich Razzleberry paper that matches her dress. The ornaments are gel-glitter spots stickers. Glitter in 3D crystal glaze gives almost the same brilliance, but these exactly match the artist drawn ornaments on the graphic. See her HERE in a gatefold card.


Kit and Clowder Create and Learn ==Pencils

This graphic, by Faery Ink, is called "Destiny Graveyard Vamp"  She is the graphic for the pencils Create and Learn exercises for Kit and Clowder for October, 2015.  I have colored her with prismacolor pencils, finished the background in Distress Ink Watercolor wash in "black soot and broken china" (and a thin layer of pencil for "resist".  Wink of Stella silver and gold touch the yellows in this drawing.  The flowers are from I Am Roses, and the tiny flourishes (Cheery Lynn B387) are cut from grey and black paper.  Orange, burgundy and black sequins are in the corner's clusters.
