Welcome to a new week of Make It Monday where we just want you to share your creativity - we love it when you inspire us! You may remember that last week I showcased a steampunk card by Iulia of My Adored Adorables - where here is my FIRST EVER steampunk card!
Mine's a lot more cutesy than Iulia's! But I'm pleased with the way it came out but it took me aaaaaaages to make, lol!! I used Sir Studio Punk by Pixie Dust Studios and the Steampunk Flying Machine by Make It Crafty. I didn't have much metal stuff or cogs and wheels - must invest in some of these cos I am lovin' this style! The freedom to be messy is just liberating! Thanks again Iulia!
This week we are being sponsored by Mad For Markers who are giving away a really fabby prize!
A mini magazine/ ideas book... chocked full of inspiration. This volume of Copicendium is an A5 booklet with 20 pages showcasing projects created using Copic markers.. particularly focusing on colouring digi images with Copics!
For my pick this week, I chose this sweet card by Liv of Liverts liv i sus og dus...
It is easy to see why I chose it - they are the cutest and I love Liv's colouring! The little details really bring it together beauitfully! Thanks for sharing with us Liv!
