Crystals and gems 💎



Happy Friday!

 This week’s CCC newsletter is all about crystals and gems.

 I don’t color crystals or gems very often but doing something new is always fun!


 If you haven't done so already make sure you check your inbox for the most recent issue of Creepy Cute Chronicles Issue 101 or if you still need to subscribe you can go HERE where you will find a link to the most recent issue, this weeks free downloads (pictured above and below) and get your email address on the list so you never miss another issue!


This is how I did it!


First I colored the crystals with gel pens. 




 Start at the base with a dark color then use a damp paint brush to blend towards the point. 

 Add lighter colors as you move to the point. 


 For a good video tutorial see Vitruvian art on Youtube.



Cut out the colored crystal formation and trace it onto black card stock.


I used Brea Reese metallic crayon to create a glow, but I hated the lines so I turned it into a huge glow. 





 It isn’t what I wanted but it works!


I added a few opalescent sticker embellishments around the crystals. 


Finally using the sentiment included in this set I distressed around the edges of the paper and attached just below the crystals to finish it all off. 





This is the card I made using this weeks premium image by guest illustrator Eny Dunn (Doodledaisiesandink)
