My Crafty Heart & Saturated Canary's Liliana

Hello all you lovely people out there, how are you? Its lovely & sunny here by the sea.......although I am still in my jammies........ssshhhh ;0)
Now my DT card is for My Crafty Heart & I've used a Saturated Canary rubber stamp & only tried something new with my colouring..........I have tried to mimic distress inks with my copics. Although the skin I did the same as usual lol.
Yes I've gone for violet colours again, think this may be a new colour addiction ;0) I added stardust stickles to her eyes for some sparkle & her hair bow.
Copic colours used are.........
E11, E21, E00, E000, R20 - Skin
E47, E43, E41, E40 - Hair
C3, C1, C00 - Top & Shoes
V95, V93, V91, V000 - Trousers & Bow
First time I've tried to mimic painting with copics & I'm quite pleased with how it went, need to practice more still.
I've decorated inside to compliment the front of the card. I love this new light box but I dont think they are very deep so its hard when I want to get an angled piccy :0(

I've frantaged up the frame that Liliana is on & I've also done the MF 'Frame' & the MB 'Fresh Foliage' die

I punched some small butterflies from my punch & a larger butterfly with MB 'Isabella' die from scraps of Maja design paper. I inked the edges & added Stickles.

The lilac feathers & cream seam binding are from my stash. The gorgeous lace is Melissa Frances, soooo pretty. The sentiment in the frame is a free stamp from craft mag.

Ingredients used are........
'Liliana' Saturated Canary rubber stamp - MCH
Melissa Frances 'C'est La Vie' papers - MCH
'Floral Oval' Spellbinders die - MCH
'Fresh Foliage' MB die - MCH

I spent mine with my family so always love my weekends ;0) Ben & Megan brought Payton a Cozy Coupe car which gramps put together yesterday, she lurves it...........pics are on my facebook, Ben put some on yesterday apparently lol.

Anyway I'm here today with my card for Crafts & Me & today with a new digi image release from Hannah Lynn.........they are all so yummy ;0)
This beauty is called 'Hillary' & you just gotta love her hair.............swoon......I want my hair that colour!!
I've been struggling with my colouring lately, mojo etc, so I sat in bed the other night with Hannah Lynn images & SC images & they sure got my ink flowing again ;0)

OK so we have a gorgeous butterfly, I love these things '0) The pearl centre is Maya Road but they have changed their design a bit now, but here is the link anyway as I dont think Sandy has this one in stock anymore. I also went Frantage mad with Shabby pink & Shabby white on a Metal Trinket & 
Butterfly Charm ;0) My Frantage I got from Ebay before christmas before everyone went frantage mad (card here it was used on) however I do know Sandy has a good selection of them in her store.

Flowers are all from WOC, Lace, sema binding & Cheesecloth from LLC.

'Hillary' was of course coloured with Copics & I went with violets.
Colours used were........
E11, E21, E00, E000 & R20 - Skin
V99, V95, V93, V91 - Hair, eyes & lips
C3, C1, C00 - Clothing

The papers I've used are Maja Design 'Oat Cookies' & I've lightly distressed them & inked the edges with Walnut ink. The sentiment was actually from a free stamp I got from a craft magazine.

Well thats it from me but pop on over to Crafts & Me & look at the fabulous digi images & rubber stamps Teresa has in her shop as well as lots of other yummy goodies.

I will be back tomorrow with some shabby chic-ness with my DT card for My Crafty Heart.
