Rose Fairy Marci + Pleats Tutorial
Tuesday, January 22, 2013Hi everyone! There's a new challenge over at La La Land this week and the theme is 'In Stitches'. I am so excited...sewing for my is a lot easier in my new crafty room as I can have the sewing machine actually set up! :D For my card today I have used Rose Faerie Marci.
Do you like my butterflies? I used the ornate corner die to make them! I just cut two out and stuck them to the card and added pearls over the join. I think they look pretty ^_^ Here are the copic colours that I used on my card:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E41, E43, E47, E49
Dress: Purple BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29 Pink RV11, RV34, RV69
Yellow Accents: E53, YR23
Shading Around: BV000, BV00, BV02, Blender
Also, I have a brand new video going up on my youtube channel today on Pleats using Dress Up Marci. Heres the image all coloured up:

Wow Alyce, she pops off the page at you. Gorgeous colouring as always and so glad your sewing machine is to hand. Don't know how you fit it all in.

Hi Hun, what a cutie pie! Love your butterflies and of course your colouring is flawless! Hugs Frea
ReplyDeleteTorn edges and inked? Oooh la la, I like that! Her outfit shimmers with color and there's so much movement in its stationary position. You've created another winner of a card and the stitching adds yet on more wonderful shabby chic element. OMG...I just noticed the trail of pearls on the butterflies..love that too!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. Your colouring is as fabulous as ever. Gorgeous papers and embellishments.

ReplyDeleteOh Alyce!!! These are gorgeous! I just wanted to let you know that on your comment on my blog, that is not a die in the corner, it is a medal embellie from Wild Orchid Crafts, they have them in silver and gold and also some that are a little bigger and different shaped than this. I love them! Hugs! Leah Ann
