Copic Coloured Sweet Pea Stamp Alassa By Elaine Cox

Just a quick image post for you today... I really wanted to pay with different coloured hair on an image and what better way to do that then with an image of a mermaid? So I grabbed my copics and set to work. I must say as I coloured the hair strand by strand it did take an awful long time! Excuse my colour swatching at the bottom lol.

The image is by Elaine Cox and she is called Alassa. As you can see I used my B/BGs. You can get this image in both digi and rubber formats at Sweet Pea Stamps. I aded some Atyou Spicas for the sparkle on the necklace chain and the fishies. I really love this image and for my first attempt I think she turned out pretty well as hair is something I struggle with.

Sketchy Fun with KaiserCraft Seaside Collection and Creative Stamping

This weeks challenge at Eclectic Ellapu is a sketch for the Purple team. Scroll down to the bottom to find out about our awesome birthday blog hop!

So recently I found a store selling out old Kaiser Collections and a lady was selling stamps from various magazines and things.  I bought 3 KaiserCraft pads one being the Seaside Collection. I love the colour combo in this pad but it's not one I would normally pick for myself.

I coloured the boy and girl image that came from a stamp set from Creative Stamping mag with a bunch of Copics and some Atyou Spicas as well (my new favourite toy!) on White Quill Cardstock from Officeworks;
Hat & Flowers: Y38, Y35
Skirt & Bow: R27, R24, Red Spica
Girls Shirt: B32, B34, Lemon Spica
Boys Shirt & Belt: B97, B95
Hat: Y38, Y35, Y28, Gold Spica, B97, B95
Boys Hair: E21, E23, E25, E29
Girls Hair: E57, E53,YR20, E51, E50,
Boy Skin: E13, E11, E00
Girls Skin: E00, E000, E0000, RV10
Boys Shirt & Ground: E33, E31,
Ground: C2, YG03
Sky: B00, B000

 

I then chose some co-ordinating ages from the KaiserCraft Seaside Collection 6" pad. I decided to use a square card base so cut my layers to fit this. No scientific measuring lol, I just went with what I thought looked good!

I then grabbed two die cuts from the back of the paper pad and used foam tape to give them dimension. I also used the red Atyou Spica pen by copic to add a little sparkle on the red bits.

I also added some bling to give the card a little bit of a lift! I meant to cut a hibiscus flower with my ecraft to add but I forgot! Naughty naughty lol... Here is a pic showing the dimension!

Now onto the important things! Don't forget the birthday bash blog hop TREASURE HUNT starts on the 1st of October!
