Travels

Happy Wednesday!! :) It's my turn to give you some Quixotic Inspiration today! Sorry I missed you all last week.. as many of you probably already know.. and are sick of hearing.. my laptop has been on the blink! BUT!! Here I am. :)

So, to give you guys a little bit of a break from The Greeting Farm, I thought I'd use a little Kraftin' Kimmie cutie instead. This is Michele from the Travel line designed by Annie Rodrigue! I've coloured her using ProMarkers and cut her using the largest circle nestie and layered it onto another scalloped circle.

I've used some yummy patterned papers from My Minds Eye Hattie collection which isn't up on the website right now, but take a look at the BRAND NEW MME stacks - gorgeous!!

That's about all from me for now - thanks for stopping by! :)

A Red Head

It's me. Lou. Good evening.. almost good night! HA. Perhaps some of you lucky people are already in bed. Early night and all. :) Sorry for the very late post.. I've been having major car trouble of late, and in my fluster this morning I totally forgot to get my post typed up before work. I apologise. I hope it's been worth the wait. :)

Today I've used another cutie from The Greeting Farm January 2012 Release.

Simply Anya

I've teamed her up with some yummy papers from Echo Park Victoria Garden collection and coloured her with Copics and ProMarkers to match. 

Recognise the layout?! It's the new sketch challenge for February/March. Join in with us!! There is a £15 Quixotic voucher up for grabs!!

 

So I'mma wrap it up there and get myself ready for bed. Another ridiculously early start tomorrow.

Christmas Trio

Good morning all!! I've had time to schedule my post this week so it's going up early! ;) I know, I know.

So here's the deal.. you know when you sit down to colour and it just ain't happening? No? Okay, just me then.. Well I had planned on making a card using a gorgeous Elisabeth Bell stamp and the new Quixotic Sketch, but I just couldn't get my colouring to work. :( Stoopid. So instead I aimed for something I've been making a lot of lately - Christmas cards.

I've been making SO many the past few weeks that I've even started turning to non Christmas themed products to make my projects. So I thought I'd show you all how to use a none Christmas related paper pack. My Minds Eye - Portobello Road. Gorgeous colours and designs, but so far from Christmas - so how did I go about it all?! It's simple.. I kept my cards.. well.. simple. :)

Here is a picture of all three cards together. I used some cream linen cardstock for each card base as it went so well with the patterned paper.

This is my fave card of the set. I think. I've used some striped patterned paper which I have cut at a diagonal - I find diagonal stripes so much more fun. For embellishment I added two teeny tiny chipboard baubles from MiC!

I hope you've enjoyed looking at this little Christmas set. I had real fun making it, and it was great to take a break from colouring. Enjoy your Wednesday whatever you're up to! :)

Look on the Bright Side

Hey Quixotic-ers! LOL!! This is my first ever post for Quixotic, incase you didn't know, and I've been worrying about it for forEVA! Working along side such a talented bunch of ladies is nerve wracking - let me tell ya!!

Today I am showing you a new stamp from the Sylvia Zet for SCACD.

Meet Princess

I emailed Elaine before I typed this post and was like.. I'm SO embarrased by my colouring on this card. These stamps are totally not made for use with PM's - honestly. You gotta have mad skills and patience to colour these beauties. I'm defintely going to give it another go soon though! I must!! They're too cute not to!!

I've coloured her hair and skin using Copics and the rest of the image using ProMarkers. I've used some yummy papers from Prima's Madeline collection and added some blue seam binding with a double bow I have tied using my Bow Easy.

Well, let's just wrap this up by saying my projects in the future cannot be as horrid as this! LMBO!! They can only get better, right? :)

You are fabulous!

Mary J here with my week's make using some gorgeous Quixotic Inspiration goodies! This week I used the super sexy, super cool Victoria Case for SCACD Femme Fatale...

 

 As you can see - lots of BLING!!  To create some interest, I used my Bazzill Jewel Templates to create the swirls with 4mm red flat backed pearls to create that beautiful swirl and used the Whimsy Friendship Ticket Sentiment for the insides.  And do you see that fabulous bow? I used my Bow Easy Template to make it before sticking it to the matting - easy peasy!   I also used a 6mm pearl for the centre of my red felt rose - the finishing touch!
