Ball Point Pen

Do you believe it? Well, over at Make it Crafty our challenge from Zoe was to color using Biros (ball point pens). Phew….what a task.

At first I thought ooh this will be interesting and fun ....

then I thought oh my this is a little more difficult than I thought and ....

then man, these will not blend like my Copics and ....

finally I just can't make it look like I want so go with what I can do

All in all it was a fun challenge and did push me in a direction I had not gone before. I think I will be trying this technique again at some point.

This is my finished card …. and believe me this is not the first try! I used Vamper and a variety of ball point pens I had.

There are some fabulous artists out there that just have a knack with stuff like this.

There are still a few days left to enter our challenge so come on over to the store gallery and join us.

Remember, it will never be perfect but it sure is fun!

A Little Monster Love

Yep, monster love. Isn’t he adorable? He is one of the rubber stamps available through Little Miss Muffet stamps and guess what? He is on sale.

He is one of my first Little Miss Muffet stamps and if you look at my watermark on above you will see he is also part of the watermark.

For my card I used some very old DP, not sure where I got it or who makes it . I colored Monster Love with Copics on Make it Colour blending card. The dies I used are Spellbinders Card Creator Locking Loops.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting and do make sure you check out the huge sale going on at Little Miss Muffet stamps.

This is my card. I seem to be on a red kick but it is so fun to color with, I just love how the reds blend so nicely and really pop out the image. I decided to try a little bit of different shading behind my image to make Tilda pop, still need a little practice but I like how it turned out.

Hello Kit

Kit is an image from Saturated Canary. In the Saturated Canary FB group there is a GDT call going on and this is my entry for that.

I love these images … these are some of my first digitals. They are so fun to color. Flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts, the frame, heart and key are chipboard die cuts from Make it Crafty, and ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Here is a close up

I colored Kit with the following Copics:

• Skin – E21, E00, E000, E0000, R11, R02
• Clothes – G02, G00, G000, RV02, RV00, RV000, RV0000
• Hair – E35, YR23, Y21

After coloring her I took Tim Holtz distress ink – Tea Dye and Worn Lipstick and daubed it over the image.

As well as the Saturated Canary call I am also entering this in the following challenges:

• Fussy and Fancy – lots of pink or breast cancer
• Fab ‘n Funky – Anything with ribbon
• Inky Impressions – Flowers and leaves
• Paper Shelter – shabby chic

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.

Biro …..

What’s that you say? Well, Biro is Ball Point pens and that is the latest challenge at Make it Crafty. So, we want to see a project that you have colored with ball point pens or a medium you are unfamiliar with.

This is my project. I used Vamper Voodoo, I wanted an image I could color that would be OK without flesh colored skin.

Here is a close up.

This was a fun challenge and also a lot different than coloring with Copics. I will tell you that you really need to go check out the FANTASTIC projects that the DT have done, you really won’t believe that they were done with Ball Point pens! You can see them here.

Thanks again for stopping by, I enjoy your visits!
