Marci with Bunny
Monday, May 20, 2013
Hello! I have a fun project to share today...I got all of my new prima goodies in the post and so had some fun making this weekend. I am happy to report that the no mojo from last week has gone :) New products are always a great trick to getting over a lost mojo! My creation for La La Land Crafts this week is a door hanger using Marci with Bunny.
My doors all have ugly handles so I've hooked it over some Ikea pots ;) I inked up my Tim Holtz clock die using Lindy Stamps sprays and lots of frantage. The sentiment is cut out of the Prima Lifetime paper pad.
A yummy prima button all frantaged up :)
For her dress I really wanted a pretty pinky peach which copic doesn't seem to have so I decided to invent my own colour! When thinking about the colour that you want, try to look at the tones. For example, I wanted a peach (my usual combo would involve peachy E93 or E95), so I thought to couple this with a midtone pink for my darker colour. As I wanted a more pink than peach I decided to go with an R00 base which would mean it is basically a light pink with a peach feel. My advice is just to experiment and if at the end of the day it looks terrible you can always just throw it out :)
Here are the copic colours that I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
Hair: E53, E43, E57
Dress: R00, R11, E95, RV34
Stocking: W0, W1, W3
Bunny: E40, E41, E43, E44
Thanks so much for stopping by today :) xx

Beautiful combo you came up with, and as far as the image goes...well it's perfection as always. Sorry to hear your mojo went for a walk, glad it's back again. Gorgeous door hanger, love how you placed Marci in front of the clock, which of course looks fab with all that frantage! Sandy xx
