Traditional Christmas at SCC

I am having a nightmare of a day so I will keep this short and sweet...... it has taken me nearly all day just to get this far ........ everything has gone wrong!

 

It started off by finding out the card I had originally done for this challenge had been pinched by my boy to give to one of his many girlfriends at school...... I knew nothing about this till I went to photograph it.  I am sure you can imagine my reaction..............

 

Anyway here is the replacement card...... oh and I haven't been able to watermark it becuse the computer where that is saved is dead as a door nail with a totally broken power lead so it won't load!!

New Steampunk Collection 4

So today it is my turn to show you what I have made with the stunning new Steampunks from Simply B Stamps

Yesterday you saw the fabulous calendar Corinne made.  I keep trying to get her to send it to me!

Anyway, here are the original paintings we had to work with.

Aren't they stunning!!!!

Ok so you may be a little scared of these..... but dont be.... just take a deep breath and let loose with your pens! 

All Hallows Read

I blew this image up to full A4 size and used it on one of my hardback sketch book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last Rose of Summer

A male card

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Family in Dunwich

Again, another full A4 size image used to alter a clipboard.  This is now hanging next to my desk with my to do lists on it!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lor and Nor Twins

I have used this to alter my smash book

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Death and the Maiden

My favourite from this collection!!  This is my diary for 2013

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And finally

Dance with Death

Another altered notebook

As you can tell, once again, I LOVE these images and have enjoyed colouring these.  I seem to colour these totally different to how I colour other images.  

I hope you like these and are going to take the plunge and give them a go.  

Here is a quick reminder of fabulous deals Betty has going on at the moment.

All are available today, and the current discount codes on these awesome images are valid!  

With the release of this Steampunk Classic Collection 4 I am going to have a mini giveaway... If you make a purchase of $15 or more, a winner will be chosen at Random, to win 6 Future Steampunk Lines!  That means the next 6 lines in 2013 is all yours free!  

Winner will be announced Tuesday Morning at 8am!  

I get many comments on how wonderful these images are but how intimidated everyone is by them...don't be!  They are awfully fun to color and the end result is always beautiful!  Take a stab at them, I promise you will enjoy it!

These Steampunks are available in digi for the time being.  Once made into rubber the digi versions will be discontinued.  Rubber is in production at the moment and I will have an update on when the rubber is available as soon as I get the info myself... with the Holidays there are delays everywhere! But!  These will definitely be worth the wait, in rubber, in digi you don't have to wait ;)

Just a reminder and in case you don't get our Newsletter...

I made a christmas card for my nephew who is only 16 months old..... I wanted to make it fun for him to look at and touch..... the cinnamon sticks even make it smell!!

I have used the super sweet Edwin skiing stamp from magnolia and coloured him using the 'No lines' technique. 

I love the Make It Crafty chipboards and this snowflake border is beautiful.  I covered this along with the paper edges and the cinnamon sticks in distress paint.

  We all got to choose our image for this and for some reason (i have still yet to find out why), I picked
  
  GIDDY UP OSCAR
  
  I thought he would look great rocking backwards and forwards on the rocking horse......
  why didn't it occur my that I would have to colour this!!!!
  
  So here we are!!
  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  So there we have it.......... This is probably the hardest thing I have ever coloured purely because of the image I chose!!!  So let that be a lesson to you..... lol!!  This is such a great technique and as you will see from the other girls the effect is fabulous........

  
  

  Why not give it a go??
