Make it Colourful Challenge #16

Good morning!  Happy Monday and 1st day of December!  Did I really just type that! Time is just zipping by!  Since it's the first of the month, it's time for a new Make it Colourful Challenge.  The challenge for December is "glistening snow and/or ice".  The goal is to achieve the look of sparkling snow and ice using only coloring techniques.  No cheating allowed with glitter pens or the like!  It's definitely a challenge!  As always, there are some fantastic inspiration photos on the blog, as well as amazing projects from the DT to get your creative juices flowing.  Our wonderful guest, Sandy, has also created a video on how she achieved the glistening effect, so be sure to check it all out.

Here is my attempt at glistening snow and ice:

My card base and mats are GKD Aqua Sea and the miscellaneous solid patterned papers are from my stash.  The fun Winter image was created by merging the Icy Lake Pre-made Scene and Brooke Ice Skating, both from Make it Crafty.  I printed the merged image on MiC Blending Card and colored it all with my Copics.  I tried to make the ice and snow look shimmery with the colors I chose.  I'm not sure I was successful, but hopefully the snow and ice at least have some added dimension. I used my Copic airbrush to do the sky and tried to make it look like rays of light were coming through.  I finished off the card with two die cut snowflake corners (using a Memory Box die) and a few punched snowflakes with gems in the centers. 

Here is a close-up of the colored scene:

Copic Colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: E50, E53, E57, YR 31

Leggings: BV00, BV,04, BV13, BV17

Sweater, hat and leg warmers: BG10, BG11, BG45, BG53, BG57

Scarf and mittens: YG01, YG03, YG25, YG17, YG67

Ice: C1, E30, B32, BG93, BV00

Snow: C1, B000, BG10, E30, BV00

Wood: E31, E35, E57, E79

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Make it Colourful Challenge blog and check out the fabulous inspiration for the new challenge!  We hope you will play along!  There is a new album set up in the Make it Crafty store photo gallery for your entries.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #86

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope your week is going well!  I've been quite busy, but I have ticked a few things off the list, so I am pleased about that.  I'm here now, as always on Thursdays, with my DT card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  This week we have a brand new challenge for you and the theme is the ever-popular "anything goes".  It doesn't get easier than that, so come join in!

Here is my card:

Look at this!  I've gone CAS again!  I even did some doodling and I so don't do doodling!  I'm not sure what came over me - lol!  Anyway, not much to say about my card.  The adorable image is Sugar 'n Spice Dolls Paprika from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I added her to a card where I'd printed the cute sentiment from Create With TLC.  I colored Paprika with my Copics and added a few polka dots with my Sharpie White Paint Pen.  A bit of doodling with my black multi-liner and a few gems from my stash finished my simple card.

Peace

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  I hope your week is off to a great start!  Sadly, our friends headed back home today.  We had a wonderful time while they were here!  I'm already looking forward to the next time we can get together.  I've spent the day trying to catch up with things around the house and in my craft room.  I am popping in really quickly to share a card I made for a few challenges I enjoy doing.

 

Here is my card:

There is not much to describe.  I was going for a "white on white" look.  I embossed the left panel with my Snowflakes embossing folder and I cut a scalloped border for the right with the Cheery Lynn Border Carnivale die.  The tranquil image is Snowy Mailbox from Delicious Doodles.  I only lightly shaded it with my gray Copics, then I added some Polar White Flower Soft to some of the snowy areas.  The Peace sentiment was cut with my Cameo.  Some wrinkled ribbon and a sparkly metal snowflake from my stash finished my card.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Delicious Doodles Challenge (white on white)
Sketch N Stash Challenge #138 (sketch; I flipped it)
Fab 'n' Funky Challenge #214(Christmas)
Card Mania (emboss it)
