Cinco De Mayo Hop Sabor Papel and Craftwell

When Two well known Companies in the Crafting world come together SaborPapel and Craftwell to celebrate such a special event!

A quick snip what we 5 De Mayo means and why we celebrate.

Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States.

Make sure you stop by  Craftwell USA blog first to get the full details on the prizes of the hop.

 This is what I have on my blog for today's Inspiration. 

A fun festive card with a touch of Sabor.

I colored my Simply Betty digi with copic markers. I did a little color placement on her eyes, Just because I like to play with eyes. 

This digi is called Rita Limes. I just used it as a Margarita to celebrate the event :P 

CHEERS!!!!

 

I just love the SaborPapel collection from Ole. The colors are so much fun to cheer up any party!

I used papel picado on my card and fussy cut many of the festive banners through out and arranging them as I wish.

Also sentimientos Ole came to play. These are just perfect for sentiments on your projects of any kind. I used the confetti green sheet as my base.

I used a few dies from LDRS Creative and created my tissue flowers using the circle die from the LDRS Square set.

Guest designer for Simply Betty whoot whoot!!

HI guys! Happy Monday and I'm so excited to share today's creation and a quick coloring tute on how I took on this cool dude.

Thanks Betty for the guest invite to the challenge blog. I was tickled to hear of the challenge theme and she was a sweetie to acknowledge me as the technique originator aka founder ROTFL!!!

Anyways thanks hun for having me. (Her images rock, I love her style and her coloring is jaw dropping!)

Also quick kudos to the lovely Corinne for all your help and you certainly ALSO bring your awesomeness talents to the table GF :)

ok so.... I was invited to share a quick movement technique and this is what I've created using winter Christian available at the Simply Betty store.

ok so you want to see how I did it. 

Again this is only a coloring tute and YES, I will be doing a full tute. Once I get a hot hot image in my hands. I'm off to work on it right away. ((smiling big)) I have a special image coming for my tute whohooo!

ok let's color....so

FIRST STEP: color your image like you normally do. I suggest you write them down IT HELPS A LOT! 

I color with Spectrum noir pens and this is my recipe 

Step 1 recipe

Skin: TN1, TN2,EB1,EB2

Hair: EB1,EB2,BG5,BG10

Jacket: CG1,CG3,CG4,,DG3

Pants: TB1,TB4,TB5,TB6, True black

Glasses: IB1,TB1,TB4,TB5

Gloves: GB8,GB9,EB1,EB2

Board: IG1,IG3,IG4,IG6

SECOND STEP: This is where the fun begins. Now you color the second image and start to eliminate the darker pens.

step 2 recipe

Skin: TN1, EB1, blender

Hair: EB1, EB2, BG5, blender

Jacket: CG1,CG3,CG4

Pants:TB1,TB4

Glasses: IB1,TB1,TB4

Gloves:GB8, EB1,EB2

Board: IG1, IG3, IG4

THIRD STEP: This would be the lightest image possible but yet visible.
step 3 recipe

Skin: TN1, blender

Hair: EB1, EB2, blender

Jacket: CG1,CG3

Pants:TB1,TB4 and blender

Glasses: TB1and blender

Gloves: EB2 and blender

Board: IG1, IG3

and you also add your lightest base color just outside the edge of the last image like hair is my EB1 ETC......

STEP 4: Now I started to create the "movement marks" by simply flicking to the back of the image. You start right behind the first image to the back.I flip around my paper to get a finer and long flick.
I used BG2, BG3 and blender for my flicks.

this is the final result and the blender really helps to smooth out the flicks. I always tend to go back and add color if I need to. The blender could loose some of the color but don't fright that's what gives the illusion.

I used MIC (Make It crafty) Laser chipboard and LD (Little Darlings)sentiment winter stamps.

and this is my creation using the cool Christian dude.

Stop by the challenge blog HERE  to check out more inspiration and CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE TEAM HAS DONE WHOOT WHOOT!!

EDITED TO ADD

I seemed to be getting many nice comments and a few emails in regards to my image merging(smiles)

I want to say it's truly very easy.

Here are the first videos I personally watched and has helped me achieved the merging technique.

This is a video from my friend Debbie 

http://debbiepsplace.blogspot.com/2010/06/merging-digital-images-using-paintnet.html

Using Paint.Net which is the first software I used since downloading it was free.

Then my laptop broke and got myself a new computer and since it already had word on it.

I decided to learn how to do it on that and this is the video by my friend and boss lady Zoe.

http://www.makeitcrafty.com/how-to-use-digi-stamps-in-ms-word.html

Both videos are easy and fun to follow so go for it!

I also wanted to let you know that MIC Club house and Store Blog has many demos, tips and tricks that you will find useful as we have a variety of talented artist sharing their coloring mad skills and crafting wisdom with us all.
