Fab Friday and a Happy Birthday to Me!!

Well, hi there and welcome to another Fab Friday with Tiddly Inks!! 

Today I decided to use the gorgeous Wryn Eat Your Cake totally inspired by the fact that today is actually my birthday!! So, if you have cake close, do enjoy a piece for me!!

Enough about me and onto the fun stuff, my card!!

Another CAS card for me this week. I decided to take some inspiration from a few cards I’ve seen about the internet with the image cropped. I also zoomed so the gorgeous Wryn is the centre of attention. 

And of course a close up of my colouring!

The copic combos I used
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 and R20
Hair: E21, YR23, E15 and E18
Dress and flowers: BG000, BG01, BG05 and BG09 Brown: E41, E43 and E44
Shading on cupcake: W1, W3 and W5 – I paper pieced this because I wasn’t happy with my colouring but I love how it turned out!
Background: B000, B00, B01 and B02
I have used some scraps for the cupcake and used the same pink paper from the “icing” as a mat for the card front. 

I’m really pleased how this turned out, especially since this is my 1st attempt of doing paper piecing since I learnt it in my clothing class at Kit and Clowder!

I hope your having a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!

Happy scrapping!

Tiddly Inks Challenge #162 – Summer Song

Hi there Tiddly friends!!

Here today to share my take on the new challenge, “Summer Song”.

I came to my image in a very round-about way but hey, it’s what came to me!!

We are in the middle of Winter here in Australia at the moment and it is COLD – well, cold for here 😉 so it was harder for me to come up with something for this challenge than it normally is!! 

My song was “Land Down Under” by Men At Work. This song makes me think of our beautiful country every time I hear it (I hear you say, “Well, der!!”) which makes me think of sunshine, warmth, summer, days at the beach and BBQ’s so I ended up using the gorgeous “Wryn the BBQ Queen” and love how this card turned out. Obviously, as the sentiment suggests, I am going to use this a Father’s Day card, we celebrate in September here!

Enough with the chatter and onto the card


I ended up doing another mixed media background which mostly ended up covered because, to be honest, I was not 100% happy with it but I am happy with end result! As always this little beauty was coloured with my copics and I have just pulled papers from my offcuts.


And the ever so gorgeous Wryn!

The copic colours I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 and R20
Hair: E11, E13, E15 and E18
Apron Blue: B91, B93, B95, B97 and B99 Orange: YR000, YR14 and YR18
Dress/Shoes/BBQ and BBQ Tools: C1, C3, C5 and C7
Sausages and Patties: E55, E57, E59 and E29
Grounding: W1, W3 and W5
Sky: B000, B01 and B02

That’s it for me for today, so, as always, thanks for stopping by and make sure you stop by the challenge blog to see all the other gorgeous makes by the other very talented girls on the DT!!

Happy scrapping and see you soon!!

Fab Friday with some Bunny Love

Hi there and welcome to another Fab Friday with Tiddly Inks!!

I’ve gone for a clean and simple card this fortnight as its school holidays here and this last fortnight has seriously just disappeared in a blur!!

I have used the adorable Somebunny Loves You digi stamp with my copics. 


I knew that I wanted to do a CAS card so I printed Wryn a little bigger than I would ordinarily and set to work. I then pulled a sentiment stamp from my stash and some sequins. I have gone twice around the edge of the card front with white thread in my sewing machine then mounted that panel onto some pink cardstock (that I had scored for a different project and didn’t use but love how it added texture!) and then mounted that on a Not Quiet Navy (Stampin Up) card base.

A close up of my colouring that I have used the no lines technique on – I am still trying to master the art of no lines digi printing so it’s not completely “no lines” as such but I am so happy with how she turned out!!

The copic colours I have used are:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 and R20
Hair: E21, E25 and E29
Pink: R81, R83, R85 and R89 Blue: B99 and B95 
Bunny Ears and Bunnies: W0, W1 and W3 R11 and R20 
Grounding: W0, W1 and W3


Last but not least my sentiment 🙂 I have used the Not Quiet Navy ink to match the card stock – not stamped 100% perfectly, but, it’s all good.

I am so happy with how this card turned out!! I hope you have enjoyed your time here on my blog today.

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!!

Fab Friday with Tiddly Inks

Hi there!

A super quick share today (and a day late, oops!!) of my make for this weeks Tiddly Inks Fab Friday 🙂

I used one of the newer images “Magical Friendship” and had a heap of fun colouring this up, though it did take me ages as I have been unwell for the best part of the last month. I even did a background of clouds and am super happy with how they turned out!!

So, enough with the chatter and onto the good stuff 😉

I’m very sorry but I forgot to take note of the colours I have used though I do know that the mermaids hair is with BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18 and possibly BG49. And I think the clouds were using B000, B00, B01 and B02.

And just a little close up of these gorgeous characters! I have probably said it a hundred times before but I just adore Wryn, in all her forms!! She is so adorable!!

I have very simply stitched around the edge of the card front twice with some yellow thread and my sewing machine, mounted that onto some Pumpkin Pie card stock from Stampin’ Up with foam adhesive and then mounted that on Daffodil Delight card stock card base; also by Stampin’ Up (I adore this yellow!!).

So, that’s it for me for today!! I hope you like my make and thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Scrapping!

A Love Day Card

Hi there!!

A super quick post for tonight! I just wanted to drop in quickly and share with you the card I made for hubby for Valentine’s Day! 

I have used the gorgeous Wryn – Heartfelt Love by Christy at Tiddly Inks. I just adore all of the Wryn images and this was just perfect for what I had in mind!


I did “stamp” the dangling hearts again to fill the front of the card. I’m not sure where I got inspired to go monotone with a pop of colour but I love how this turned out!!

I have used the C markers to colour all the black/grey areas and I used R22, R29 and R59 for the red. You can sort of see in the pic here but I also added a layer of glossy accents to the big red heart.

I used an Ali Edwards/Technique Tuesday stamp which I embossed with SU Cherry Cobbler embossing powder for the sentiment and added a little row of 3 enamel hearts by CTMH. Oh, and the “shadow” I did with a couple of my light C copic markers 🙂

That’s if for me for tonight!! Like I said, a very quick share!!

Thanks for stopping by!
