Angelica & Friends - Mariella

It's the turn of Mariella today, she has such a pretty name don't you think?  Once again I coloured her with my Spectrum Noirs, I'm trying to build up my confidence to use these pens more often.  I think it's the hair that I find most daunting.

7 x 7 card

Backing paper printed from the cd-rom onto Satin Finish printer paper from Crafter's Companion (highly recommended), inked around the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.

Image stamped onto Neenah card using Memento ink.

A Crafts Too die was used to cut the mat the image is sat on and the sentiment mat.  These were cut from Core'dinations card.  The sentiment is Lili Of The Valley.

I embossed some card from PaperMill using a Beatrix Potter embossing folder and once again inked around the edges.

The flowers were created using Die'sire Sunflower quilling die.

Finally, ribbon from Create & Craft was added to the card.

Angelica & Friends - Jessica

My gorgeous new Angelica and Friends Collection from Crafters' Companion arrived yesterday afternoon, so while I was watching television last night I cut out all the stamp sets so I could craft with them today.  I decided to colour in Jessica first for no other reason than she was on the top of the pile!  I followed the sketch over at Sketchy Friday to create the following card:

A5 card blank

I stamped the image onto Neenah card using black memento ink and coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens.    I added some DecoArt Glamour Dust to her wings.

I used Lea'bilities Curved Frame dies which I got for Christmas to cut the mat for the image and the sentiment.

The lilac and green card are from PaperMill.

I embossed the green card using a Beatrix Potter embossing folder from Crafters' Companion.

Both backing papers were printed from the cd-rom onto Satin Smooth printer paper.
