ATC Jan 2020 Kawaii - alcohol marker + mixed techniques

In January, I joined the ATC swap from the Sweet Sentiment Facebook group. The theme was Kawaii. I could have made one design for all of them, but what fun in that? Along with the theme, the other rules were ATC size (3 1/2" x 2 1/2") and they needed to have some colouring on them. I used all alcohol markers in a combination of Copic, Spectrum Noir, and Nuvo. I used mostly physical stamps with one digi. Along with the alcohol marker colouring, I used a variety of techniques and added Nuvo drops to most of the ATCs for a bit of tactile dimension.

ATC Rainbow - alcohol marker, alcohol ink, ATC

The Rainbow Troll ATC features a Craftin' Desert Divas set, Weather Gnomes with alcohol marker colouring (Copic, Spectrum Noir, and Nuvo) and alcohol ink painted background (Ranger and Marabu). How else would we get rainbows other than a little gnomette on a cloud with a paintbrush?

Birds on a Wire - coloured pencil, stencilling

Red birds sitting on a Christmas wire are a perfect sight with the snowfall in the city. I used a Unity Stamps set coloured with Koh-i-Noor pencils and paired with patterned paper, die cuts from Stampin' Up and the subtle look of a stencil with Bo Bunny glitter paste.

Pirate Birthday - watercolour pencil

Arrrr! Pirate teddy bear wishing you a happy birthday! My card features a Bugaboo digital stamp with a die-cut foam sentiment, paper from Doodlebug, and More and Galore buttons.

Piano Birthday Silver - die cuts

Music makes the world better. My birthday card features die cuts from Die'Versions, Tutti Designs, and Elizabeth Craft Designs with stamps from Stampendous, Craftin' Desert Divas, and Unity Stamps. "If music be the food of love. play on!"

This is one of two cards I put together today with a similar theme and some of the same elements.

Angel Shaker - watercolour

Today's card is a bit of whimsy, an angel in a shaker featuring a Craftin' Desert Divas stamp set, a CC Designs die, Daniel Smith watercolours to colour the image, and shaker stars.

Frosty Fox - watercolour pencil and stenciling on patterned paper

To me, on a blustery winter day, a cup of hot cocoa or hot coffee is like a hug, warm and cuddly.

This card features a digital image and stencil from Craftin' Desert Divas, paper by Doodlebug, embossing, embossing paste, Perfect Pearls, and even some washi tape.

Winter Bags - die cut small gift bags

Two small gift bags with a wintery theme, snowflakes, winter wishes, and hot cocoa. The small bags are idea for a couple packets of hot chocolate and/or a few special treats.

The bags are made using a Craftin' Desert Divas die, Stampin' Up glassine paper, glitter paper snowflakes, and sentiments and bear from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Colour My World - Watercolour pencil, Distress Crayon, and Perfect Pearls

The sly wink of this little magical owl made me think of a rainbow bursting from a cloud 'cause rainbows are one of the most beautiful bits of magic in the world.

The stamps in this card are from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. The cloud die is Craftin' Desert Divas. The rainbow is Distress Crayon and sprinkled over everything is the magic of Perfect Pearls. (Well, I think they're magical *grin*)
