Flights of Fantasy Sneak Peek

Hello crafty friends!

Today, Crafter's Companion USA is starting to give sneak peeks of a fabulous NEW Papercrafting CD that will be available VERY SOON! This CD is packed FULL of amazing images and paper crafting elements. All the artwork is from British artist Morgan Fitzsimons. If you are a fantasy fan, you will LOVE this!

Here's a card I made using one of the images along with some of the digi papers and elements available on the CD:
 

The image was so fun to color. I used Spectrum Noir Markers to color, then added crystal glitter.

Marker Colors:

• Skin - TN2, FS3, FS2, CR3
• Lips - FS8
• Hair - GB8, GB6, GB2, GB1, GB10
• Wings - GB1, GB6
• Greens - CG4, CG3, CG1
• Blues - IB3, IB1, TB1, Blender
• Shading and Shadows - BGR1, TB1, Blender

I used my new Crafter's Companion Edge'abilities Floral Dance Die and added glitter and blue rhinestones accents. The sentiment is one of the digi elements that comes on the CD. I printed it twice, cut out and layered pieces for dimension. I did absolutely zero stamping on this card.

By the way. If you are ever questioning whether you can color printed digi images without your SN markers smearing the ink, just give it a try. I have an HP inkjet printer and I have not problems at all. To be extra sure, just zap the printed images with a heat gun. That should usually set in the ink on the paper good enough.

I printed the fairy images twice, so I could trim a few pieces to pop up for dimension. You can see it on the picture above - the wings and a few flowers.

Stay tuned to Crafter's Companion USA for more sneak peeks and the release of Flight of Fantasy.

Destinations Spirit of Adventure

Have you had a chance to see the NEW Destinations Collection that was released over at Crafter's Companion USA? Magnaficient images, sentiments and a Papercrafting Twin CD-ROM! THUD!

Here's a card I made using the new Spirit of Adventure stamp set along with some of the printed digital papers and elements.

This looks like several layers of designer papers, but it's only 3 panels. Just wait till you see all the goodies on the Destinations Papercrafting CD-ROM. Thousands! All I did was print, trim, ink the edges and add glitter to the base layer. No hoarding these beautiful designer papers. Go ahead and cut 'em up. Yeah...YOU know what I'm talkin' about...
  Just print more. ;)

The image and sentiment are stamped on white cardstock, then colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and Blendable Colored Pencils

Skin
   Markers: FS2, FS4, TN2
   Pencils: 003, 117
Wings
   Markers: TB1, BT8, BT1, JG1, BT5
   Pencils: 071, 001
Banner and Dress
   Markers: EB1, EB2, BG1, Blender
   Pencils: 112, 117, 001
Hair
   Markers: TN6, TN3

To add sparkle and shimmer on the wings, I added crystal glitter and painted on some Sheer Shimmer Spritz. I also stamped and colored the banner again, cut it out and adhered the ends flat - popping up the center area with foam adhesive. It's a bit time consuming...but the dimension it gives is so worth it!
