Weekend Workshop #26 PLUS Special Xmas Prize

Remember that we said that last week was the last workshop of 2009 – well we told a little white lie! Some of you may already know that Debbi was asked by Letraset to select the colours and put together a tutorial for their new Craft Gift Pack. She was absolutely thrilled to do this for them, and we were very proud of her too. The gift packs are now on sale at various art and craft stores and online, as well as from Letraset direct, so we thought we would share the original tutorial with you. The colours she has used are from the same selection contained in the pack.

******************
Fig. 1 Start by colouring the areas of skin with Blush, lay down more layers to increase the depth in areas that would be in shadow e.g. just under the hat brim






Fig. 2 Colour the clothing, using small circular movements, in Denim Blue



Fig. 3 Concentrating on one area at a time, add a darker shade—China Blue, in areas where there are creases and where there would be shadow











Fig. 4 Blend the hard edges of the darker shade by going over the darker areas, in a circular motion again, with the lighter shade and working outwards



Fig. 5 Shows the same technique applied over the whole image



Fig. 6 Colour the accent/trim areas with Fuchsia, laying down more layers of colour over areas that would be in shadow.



Finish the image by colouring the hair with Caramel, Cocoa and Umber.
Trim the image to the required size, and layer it onto a contrasting cardstock, trimming the edges to leave a narrow border around the image. Add glitter and/or adhesive gems to the image.
Cover a card blank with patterned paper, then take a co-ordinating scrap piece of patterned paper and layer it onto the same contrasting cardstock as before.
Take a piece of white satin ribbon, and using the broad nib, colour the ribbon with Fuchsia. Then wrap the ribbon around the matted paper panel.
Adhere the matted paper panel at an angle to the covered card blank, then, using 3D foam tape adhere the image to the card front.
Add embellishments, the card below has 3 snowflakes punched from the co-ordinating cardstock which have been embellished with snowflake sequins and glitter dots.
Finally add a greeting. (Fig. 7)


Supply List:
Image is Snowflake from Sugar Nellie
Promarkers: Blush, Cocoa, Caramel, Umber, Fuchsia, Denim Blue & China Blue
Papers: Daisy & Dandelion Xmas Pad (also the greeting)
Cardstock: Core'dinations
Papermania Glimmer Dots
Snowflake sequins from Kars 
Anita's white satin ribbon
Martha Stewart snowflake punch
Glamour Dust 





Now I bet you're all thinking that we have forgotten about the prize that was mentioned in the title of this post - no we haven't. To celebrate the launch of the Craft Pack Letraset have been very kind in donating one to give to a lucky commenter.
All you need to do is leave a comment on this post before Tuesday 15th December at 9am (GMT). If you could add a pic and link on your sidebar that would be great too :)

The Craft Gift Pack contains 12 specially selected ProMarkers, 1 ProMarker Blender pen, 1 Fineliner pen, 1 Storage Wallet and 1 Bleedproof Marker Pad.

For another chance to win one of these packs, Debbi is also giving away 1 of these Craft Gift packs, plus lots of other ProMarker goodies up until Monday 30th November on her own blog.
See you again on the 15th December when we'll draw a winner from all the comments left on this post. The prize will be posted as soon as possible after the 15th to hopefully arrive with the winner before xmas.

Hugs, Gina, Denise and the DT xxx
