Graph'It Marker Challenge - Background with GI Markers and Mix It Fluid



Happy Friday Everyone! It's time for another Graph'It marker challenge. This week we are challenging you to create your own background using GI markers and the Mix It fluid. There are endless possibilities and here is what I did:



I used four different shades of teal markers, an acrylic blog and the Mix It fluid to create my background (the teal one right behind the image). With the broad nib I scribbled all four shades (overlapping) onto an acrylic blog, sprayed it with the Mix It fluid and stamped onto white card stock. You have to work quickly as the alcohol evaporates quickly and the color dries fast.

The image is from Whimsy's November release called Penguin Chocolate Surprise by Crissy Armstrong. The sign in the background is a Make It Crafty stamp and you can also get it in the Whimsy store HERE. The sentiment is from LOTV , the flowers are from WOC, the bling is from Want to Scrap and the papers are from Echo Parks Holly Jolly Christmas collection. The sprig is a Memory Box die.





Graph'It Markers used:
Sign: 3120, 3140, 3160, 3190
Snow: 9100, 9101
Scarf & Hat: 7210, 7220, 7240, 7260, 7290
4175, 4135, 4145, 4120,4125
Penguin: 9109, 9107, 9105, 9103, 9101
2105, 2110, 2150
9101, 9100, 7105, 4115,9303
Candy Box: 4150, 4120, 5210, 5220, 5250, 3180
And the blender pen!

Floppy the Elf



Happy Wednesday Everyone! I'm back with a new card. Last night I had time to color in one of the super cute elves from Make it Crafty! His name is Floppy and I think he is just stinkin' cute!

It is so much fun coloring him and as usual I used my Copics. (colors used listed below). There was a time when I really disliked coloring with reds with my Copics but meanwhile I absolutely enjoy it and I like how it turned out. The DP is from Prima's North Country Collection. Sentiment is designed by Raindrop Echo Designs and available through Whimsy Stamps. I just used a little bit of Stickles on the flowers and some paper glaze on the bell from Floppy's hat. Leaf punch is from EK Success and the poinsettia is punched out using dies from Marianne Design.

This card is a pre-order. Actually so far all my Christmas cards shown were pre-ordered. I have a few more to do and planning on using at least 2 more of the cute MiC elves for the orders :-)

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me today!

And here are the colors I used to color Floppy:

Gold: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR24
Red: R39, R27, R14, R12
Green: YG67, YG25, YG23, YG21, YG0000
Hair: E19, E18, E15, E07, E13
Black: C 9 -7-5-3-1-00
To tone down the reds and greens and deepen the shadows I used the warm greys
W 7 -5-3-1-00
Outline: B000, B0000
And for the ground I used the warm greys again.

It's Christmas Time.....




Happy Thursday Friends! The card I made yesterday shows one of the new Make It Crafty Christmas digi's called 'Sweet Angel'. Awww isn't she sooooo super adorable?! One of the sweetest angels I've seen! 

She was colored with Copics (BG 0000, 000, 01, 02 for the dress and bow, YR31, E50, Y28 Y11 for her hair) The DP I've used is from an older MME Christmas collection. I found one leftover 12x12 sheet in my drawer. The blue snowflake/ice crystals paper is from Primas North Country collection. You can barely see it it's almost completely covered by my embellies though. The large snowflake in the back is a Spellbinders die (I think it's called Snowflake Pendant, but I'm not sure) which I cut from light blue CS and sprinkled some German glass glitter on to give it a frosted effect. The sentiment is from Catslife Press. Crystal stem and ribbon slider are from Whimy's embellishments section. Flowers ribbon and the rest of the embellies are from my stash.

Close look at the cute Angel :-)

Here's a close-up of the 'sugar coated' flowers. First I dipped the flowers in Aleene's thick tacky designer glue and then I sprinkled them with clear German glass glitter. I love the frosted icy look the German glass glitter gives to the flowers.
