Colouring Experiments in Copic & Distress Ink

I had planned to turn this lot into cards for Christmas... That did not happen in the end. These are some random efforts at playing with Copics, Distress Ink markers and some pencils.

I personally am tempted to just keep them all but that would mean I would end up with so many colour picture I wouldn't know what to do with right?

Image above includes:

• Inky Critters by Tiddly Inks
• Holly Sprite by Aurora Wings
• Conie Fong's Snowy- Joy to the World from Sweet Pea Stamps
• Lisa Victoria's Snowflake Wonder from Sweet Pea Stamps
• 'Ken with Santa Hat' by Kaszazz
• 'Edward with Tree' by Kaszazz 

The dragon did make it onto a backing/card of sorts for my mother.

Recently also made a quick impromptu e-card image for someone who's entire family got sick at once. 

Sympathy Bugs by Wee Stamps

Sympathy Bugs is a digi I have used, but as of 30th Dec 2014 the store has shut indefinitely. The physical rubber some can still be gotten from Whimsy Stamps though (link in caption).

 

Under the cut there are also some of my older colouring pieces.

Gothic Rug by Natalia Frank (Pt. 3)

Silk gauze... It is a bit of a love hate relationship *wry smile*. When it works, it is great, when you need to unpick anything it is a living nightmare.

There has been more work done on it, but it was paused due to the fact I ran out of black. This is why when you buy a kit, and they say to use one strand, you don't use two.

 

This is what it looks like now. All the colours/outlining is done... It just needs to be infilled. But of course I have other running projects.

I now have two wedding presents to do. So this baby gets put off again.

Please cluck on the 'rug' label if you would like to see the other two posts.

Gothic Rug by Natalia Frank (Pt. 2)

Well... A lot more work has been done on the rug since I last posted but still not finished *looks sheepish* I have.... Messed it up a couple of times that has lead to some pain staking unpicking. On normal fabric this isn't good... 

On silk gauze? Nightmare of trying not to break it an undo such tiny stitches.

Popcorn Bear - One Upon A Time (Pt.2)

Popcorn and Soufflé  are done!

I do not know why I have back stitch so much but it is worth the effort AFTER the pain is done with.

Popcorn Bear - Cuddle Up

MIA for a long time due to work commitments and traveling a lot. Also after so long it got to the point of "I really should update...*trails off uncomfortably*"

Another present for my mother-in-law. 

And just like the last Popcorn Bear, I am again procrastinating on the back-stitch. I Do not know why I have such a dislike for it. I just feel like this whenever I think about doing backstitch.

 

I am going to work on getting back to updating this so do not be surprised is multi-posts in the next few days.
