Mayzyarts Digi Jareth With a Little Creative Chemistry

Well it was my sisters birthday last week and so I had this digi from MayzyArts for a while now and I knew I wanted to use it when I made her card. If you click the link it takes you right to the digi :). I should have made it bigger than I did to make it a little easier to colour lol. I am a newbie with my copics so small bits are a real challenge. Also learning to colour a bit slower lol. I added some Atyou Spica to the blue in the cape for some sparkle and to make it look a bit mottled. On the upside this fit right in with my DT's theme this week!  Inspired by a movie  at Eclectic Ellapu.

Anyway I coloured Jareth with a combination of Copics and Promarkers (mostly copics except or the greys don't ow a lot of darker copic greys yet!). Funnily enough I didn't really have the colours I wanted to use in either so made do with what I had lol.

Then I went through two full sheets of glossy cardstock trying to get the background just right lol. I used a technique from Creative Chemistry 102. I then stamped some stars in platinum stazon from various stamp sets.

I used the regular pouncing technique with the same colours for the second piece to give it a bit of contrast and cut a piece of star dream paper to add a little shimmer and sparkle.

I used another CC102 technique to colour the various Idea-ology pieces. I really learnt a lot from these classes. Way more than I learnt in CC101 lol.

I stamped my sentiment onto one of my rejected background pieces using stazon, and then used a lifestyle crafts labels die to cut around it. I had to try to be very precise as there was only a little corner of the piece that had the colours I wanted on it lol. I then cut a piece of plain cs as a mat and went around it with B00 and then chipped sapphire distress ink.

To assemble the card I adhered everything with doublesided tape except the sentiment, that has foam tape, and the idea-ology pieces are adhered with Matte Accents (I added ribbon to the key). I added some pearls that I coloured with B18 to match the card. I added a layer of glossy accents to the crystal ball and when that dried I added another layer for dimension :)

I have to say this card was a huge challenge for me to make. I especially didn't want to delve into the darker greys and blacks too much as I thought this might make everything rather manish and as the card was for my sister I didn't want that lol. It took me three or four days of serious work to get this one done! I will add the colours I used when I find the list haha!

Creative Chemistry 101 Day Three

Loving these classes, have learnt a few new things, not so much the techniques except the archival resist (got to get me some of them lol), I managed to do a stazon version. Having loads of trouble with the agate technique. Lol I think that's a hard one to master really. But it's all fun and everything is usable even if not for the intended purpose.

For eg from one of the techniques yesterday I used my leftover ink to make three generations of backgrounds and than the last few drops I used the same sheet of cs to pick the colour up from all my tries. The ones that are not usuable as backgrounds I will chop up and use as other things like butterflies or flowers.

Anyways here are our day three pics.

My second go at technique 3

My Mans go at it. So Pretty.

My first go. for some reason I didn't really like it so tried again lol.

Technique 2. We used Stazon as I don't have any archival yet. This was go one. Forgot to dry the stazon first . . . oops

Go two, This ones my bf's. He loves the lion... Rawr!!!

My attempt two.

Ok I suck at this lol. I think i added too much blending solution to both mine and the bf's lol... This is his.

My first attempt.

My second attempt. Like it much better. I used far less blending solution this time. I think it is a matter of playing around til you get the right amounts.

Day three was a challenge for me lol. Did several do overs to make myself happy lol. Hope you had better results! Hugs
