Stamping Bella - Last Sneaky Peeky!!

Happy Sunday folks!!! It's a wet, wild and windy one here and it's not looking too good for tomorrow's Bank Holiday either. Things wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that we'll be out doing the Women's Mini Marathon and I'm just getting over the last virus the kids brought home from school. We won't be needing the Dublin fire service to hose us down this year, that's for sure!! lol.

Today is the last day of Stamping Bella's June release sneaky peeks!! All of the new stamps are being released tomorrow so this is the last preview day!! You can see the rest of today's sneaky peeks over on the Stamping Bella blog.

La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday - Fussy Cutting

Good morning! I'm a little bit late with my La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday post this week - our internet has been absolutely horrendous since last Sunday and we can't get to the bottom of the problem. There is nothing as frustrating as a slow connection, am I right?!! Ugh! 

Anwhoo, this week our theme is FUSSY CUTTING and this is my card....

Stamp : Luka with Kite

Dies : Pretty Poinsettia, Groovy Elements

I kept the card a little bit on the CAS side, using only 2 strips of patterned papers. I created a border around the white card front using my bone folder on the scoring board. The hearts are fussy cut from the papers and they are popped up on foam dots. 

I coloured the image with copic markers: 

Skin - E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair - E51, E53, E55

Shirt - YG21, YG23, YG25

Pants - R24, R43, R46

Shoes - YG21, YG23, YG25. B93, B95, B97

Kite - YG21, YG23, YG25. R24, R43, R46. YG21, YG23, YG25. B93, B95, B97

Luka is also mounted on 3D foam dots so the card has lots of dimension to it. 

The little metal boy charm and twine are both available from my Esty Shop.

La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday - Colour Inspiration.

Howdy folks and happy Friday!! It's been one of those weeks - I have a very unwell kiddo out from school and he's kindly passed on his germs to both myself and his dad :/ So this has been a week of getting things done at a much slower pace and involving a lot more effort. Hence being a few hours late with my Inspiration Friday card on La-La Land Crafts. However, I got there in the end and we have a great colour inspiration photo to follow along with....

I decided to use the bright colours and I have featured Groovy Marci along with these Dies - Groovy Elements, Groovy Border, Yin Yang Border on my card. 

The papers are ... I think Basic Grey. I have a few sheets left from the pack but the front of the pack is gone so I'm hazarding a guess here. lol. 

Copic Markers Used: 

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E51, E53, E55

Vest: YG05, YG21, YG23, YG25.

Shirt:YR61, YR65, YR68

Pants: V12, V15, V17

Hairband: Y02, Y04, Y08. RV21, RV23, RV25. YG05, YG21, YG23, YG25.

Belt: RV21, RV23, RV25

Shoes: E71, E74, E77

Tamborine: C3, C5, C7. E71, E74, E77
