February Anime New Release at Stampers Delights

Over the past few weeks Scrapper's Delights has had a major overhaul and re-brand as Stampers Delights. There will be a lot of new inspiration with videos and different image types so keep an eye on the website and on all the usual social media platforms.

For this month's new release I got the chance to work with a sweet 'parent's to be' image. 

Materials used:

Stampers Delights - Anime Baby Bump 

X-Press It card

A6 top fold card blank

glossy card

alcohol inks in green/blues and yellow

orange sequins

Copic pens:

skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

girl's hair - E53, E43, E57

boy's hair - E42, E43, E47, E49

girl's shirt - Y17, Y38, YR68

girl's skirt - C3, C5, C7, C9

boy's shirt - BG10, BG72, BG75, BG78, BV29     C0, C1, C3

boy's jeans - B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

teddy - R81, R83, R85, R89

The background paper was made using alcohol inks on glossy card. I put random blobs of three inks all over the card an then used a felt pad and plain alcohol ink to dab it about. I was not happy with the first result so I dotted some more ink on and also some of the blending ink and let it dry. Finally I loaded my pad up with the yellow ink and some blending ink and gently wiped it over the card from top to bottom over the whole area. I wanted to do something a bit different from the traditional pinks, blues or yellows of baby cards!

Do take a look at what the rest of the team have done with other images in the release and maybe even have a go at the challenge. The links are here:

A Bit More Adoration

We have reached the half way point of our challenge at Path of Positivity with the optional theme of Adoration.

Those of you who know me quite well will be aware that I have a bit of an obsession with penguins which goes beyond love and I think slides into adoration! At one stage I had almost 100 penguins in various guises around the house. Sadly when we moved from our largish vicarage into a small house I had to be brave and rehome a lot of them. 

Even so I now have penguins in every room in the house except the conservatory which also acts as my husbands study and has to be penguin free. Although Christmas is a different matter when the tree goes up! There are even a couple of penguins sitting by my pond in the garden.

Just for interest I went round the house and counted up how many there are and here are the results of my survey. 

My study - 4
Bedroom - 11
Spare bedroom - 1
Bathroom - 2
Lounge/diner - 7
Kitchen - 4
Total: 29

Then there are the 2 in the garden and all the penguin socks and jumpers! At Christmas the number shoots up again for a while.

So even after an extensive re-homing programme and friends and family under instruction from my husband not to give me anymore penguins (ha like that will work!) there are still a goodly number around the place.

Materials used:

Beccy's Place - Penguin (Free Printable #58) 

X-Press It card

blue card cut to ATC size

white printer card

Copic pens:

penguin - W3, W5, W7,W9     E40, E41, E43     RV000

beak and feet - Y11, Y15, Y17, YR14, E15 

scarf - B12, B24, B28, B29     V04, V06, V09     Y11, Y15, Y17     C0, C1, C3, C5

The banner down the side has been made up on the computer, printed out on white card and trimmed to size. The little penguin is coloured in then cut out leaving a small white edge and attached to the blue ATC card.

The challenge runs until March 1st so there is plenty of time to come and join in the fun. Remember the twist is optional focusing on Adoration. 

In order to be considered eligible for this month's prizes, remember that general types of  projects/posts will not qualify for the prizes unless they are also positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature. 

Prizes this month include:

Path of Positivity February Challenge with Adoration

It's time for a new challenge at Path of Positivity and this month the optional theme is Adoration. There is so much you can use this theme for the most obvious is Christmas, a good incentive to start on this year's cards! This month Valentine's Day is coming up and it will not be long until Mothering Sunday.  We are expecting our first grandchild in May and there is nothing as beautiful as the look of adoration in a new born gazing up at it's mother, reflected in the eyes of the mother looking down at her child.

I think this card will be going to my husband on the 14th, the standing joke being that I do not really have any 'old flames' but he does!!

Materials used:

Beccy's Place -  A Light In The Darkness (using candle and Let your love shine sentiment)

X-Press It card

7" x 5" card blank

Versa Color inkpads - 101 Camellia, 11 Canary

Copic pens: 

candle - R22, R29, R59, C5

candlestick - Y21, Y23, Y26, YR24, Y28   

shadow - C0, C1, C3   Blender

The card base has been coloured with the Versa Color inks using sponges. I wanted it to look like candle light with the red and yellow picking up the colours in the image.

The sentiment has been used inside the card.

The challenge runs until March 1st so there is plenty of time to come and join in the fun. Remember the twist is optional focusing on Adoration. 

In order to be considered eligible for this month's prizes, remember that general types of  projects/posts will not qualify for the prizes unless they are also positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature.
