Amy

Well, here it is, my last card for a few days. Tomorrow I have an interview in Salford and then I'm off to Stratford Upon Avon for a few days with a friend to have some girlie chill out time.

This cute image is called Amy and she is a freebie from Crafty Sentiments Designs for use in their current challenge. She was easy to colour with my copics although some of my shading could have been better. Copics used:
skin - E21, 93, promarker satin
hair - E50, 51, 53, 31
shoes - E31, 33
top - BV00, 02, 02
jeans - B93, 95

The DP is Papermania 'Henbury Lane' and the sentiment is one of my new LOTV.

The curly gardenia are from Crafty Emma's Store as are the pearls. The small rose buds are from my stash and the leaves are my MS border punch.

I hope you like it and I'll see you all again at the weekend, x

Stampin for the Weekend #5 -  springtime

It's bin one of them cards....

 You know the ones....Starts off as one thing and ends up as something else...Well this was one of them.

I'd already decided that I wanted to follow the Just Magnolia sketch and I also wanted to use another of my new digi images by MelJen's designs called 'Candy Land Dreams' as I knew it was just the perfect background for Tilda sucking on her lollipop. So then I thought, mmm, a tent-fold card would look good, so off I went cutting and using nesties and oops!...forgot I was s'posed to be following a sketch and by this time I've stuck stuff down!!! So I hope that what I've ended up with has recreated the sketch.

To the left I overlaid some lace with a strip of DP and then using glossy accents attached a string of pearls. The bottom strip is another piece of DP but I utilised the flower in the design and cut around the petals, finally attaching 2 prima flowers and a pearl brad to the centre. All the DP are by DCWV.

Inside the aperture you can make out 2 chipboard swirls coloured with copic YR16, stickles, pearls and gems for bling.

Tilda has been coloured with copics: E93, 21, Promarker Satin (skin), E31, 33, 35 (hair), BG01, 05, YR12, 15 (clothes).

I hope you like it and I'm entering it into the following challenges:-

Friendship

This was a really quick card put together with Crafty Indivduals papers that had been lying on my workspace waiting to be made into a tent fold card. When I saw them I realised they fitted perfectly with the current Play Date Cafe Colour Challenge.

I've left the card fairly plain and without embellishments so that I can also enter it into the current Charisma Cardz challenge, and finally Totally Papercrafts were asking for a 'Friendship' card.

The cute Elisabeth Bell image is coloured with copics :-
skin : E21, 93 and Promarker Satin
hair : E50, 51, 53, 31
clothes : V01, 01
This was my first attempt at really blonde hair although in hindsight I think brunette would have shown up better.

I hope you like it and the challenge links are below, x
