Showcase with Susan for Challenge #11

Good morning everyone! Today is my Showcase day for The East Wind. Our theme this time around is It's Getting HOT! Now, you might think summer, sun, beach when you think hot, but I took it in another twist LOL  Hot as in Sexy Hot... with the lovely Lucy Loo Sexy Girl with Her Own Style. I love her!! I did my usual color at least three images LOL but I didn't decoupage her, instead I made three separate cards. Here they are:






They are the same design, just a different sentiment on each one. The sentiments are from Create With TLC. I knew right away I wanted to use purple with her and that I wanted there to be purple in her hair LOL So I went with the Black and purple theme. The skull corner was cut out with my Cameo and I covered the top with the purple glitter. I added the gems and pearls on the side of her.. black pearls and purple gems. I added the twine between Lucy Loo and the sentiment and I added the three black buttons on the side. The edge has a strip of black lace that hangs off the edge. I thought it gave it a nice touch. I colored these images with my Copic markers.

Copic:

• Purple in Hair, Outfit and Eyes: V12, V15, V17
• Black in Outfit, Hair and Shoes: C3, C5, C7, C9

Aurora Maui Maui - Crafting Vicky

I figured I would share something different with you guys!  Therefore I'm posting my camping journal that I have embellished with the brand new release image from The East wind.  This time the new release is the fabulous Aurora Maui Maui.  That's just PERFECT for my camping journal.  So here it is!

You can see here the set up of my camping site...

Here's the closer version of that fabulous digital stamp that really summons how vacation feels like!  Isn't she just fabulous?!?  I colored her with my copics.

Hope you have enjoyed my inspiration for you!   Can't wait to see what you do with this great image!

Have a great crafting day!!!

It is about time, right? - Unky's coloring tutorial #1

I have been talking about Tutorial for so long now, I finally took an action!
Last Wednesday I lauched the first video of how to do Lucy Loo Close up hazel eyes,
I know it is quiet fast, I personally can't watch a video that are over 2 min long. so I figure I had to make it this way, I put a little notes on the screen what colour and product I used, so I hope that helps.

I look at colouring as 'understanding lights' If you do, you will find colouring or drawing so much easier. Understand it and play with it. ^^ 

 So It will be Every Wed, I will come up with new videos! Long Journee of Unky's Colouring Therapy has started last week! ^^
Hope you enjoy the videos.
If you Like these videos, Please subscribe! and share! ^^

I am starting up a small contest with special deal relate to this tutorial, please join our facebook group.

Maureen's July Fun with The East Wind

Hi everybody!!! It's Maureen here with some of my makes for July using the fabulous images at The East Wind Etsy Shop! I hope you like what you see! 

This first card is for the current Challenge #11 at The East Wind. The theme is It's Getting Hot in Here and I've used Ashley 3, coloured her with my Promarkers and used Beach Babe papers from Fancy Pants. I've used some dies and created a flowery theme too. 

This next card was made for my Design Team inspiration at Crafting by Designs - the theme there was 'Use a Sentiment' so I found a fabulous one over at Gingers House and teamed it up with Lucy Loo 'Heart Lips'. Again, I've used my Promarkers teamed with some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and papers from Craftwork Cards.

We've had a few new Lucy Loo releases last week and you probably know by now I love Lucy!!! hahaha So I've created a Wall Hanging with Lucy Loo Hocus Pocus using Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells papers and flowers from my stash. 

I've also used 'Professor Loo' in a slightly CAS card with another sentiment from Gingers House.

 

nd finally, we have a brand new Facebook Contest that you should hop over and have a look at! The theme is 'Just for a Laugh' and I have used Lucy Loo with a Mustache for mine with a funny pun!

I hope you've enjoyed looking at these projects - there were more in July, but I'll save them for another day! You can see all my projects for The East Wind here!

Bettina's It's getting hot challenge project

It's monday and time for another showroom showcase from me, Bettina, today. I've decided to show you my recent challenge project as we still have a new challenge going on at the challenge blog. 

For my It's getting hot project I've decided to use additional butterflies (joy diecut) and one from Prima to add to the Aurora Spring Butterfly image I've used for this one. I think it kinda gives a summer effect. I went with lots of purple as that is one of my favourite colours for summer as well!!

a little closer for more details 

I've used additional flowers and added lace and doily for some elegance.

There is still time to play along with our current It's getting hot challenge over here

Have an awsome monday!!
