It's A Try

Evening Peeps. This is my penultimate card for the next few days. Why is it when you're challenged to make a card for a teenager I always think of boys??? A card for a teen girl would have been so much simpler. Anyhow, it gave me a good excuse to use my new LOTV stamp which I coloured with copics:-
skin - E21, 93, promarker satin
hair - E31, 33, 35
ball - E43
boots - C5
kit - B24, 28, Y02, 08
ground - G21, 28, W1, 3, 5

The DP is partly 7 Gypsies and partly my stash, and the letters are from a 7 Gypsies pack. I have covered them with glossy accents to give some dimension.

Hope you like it and here are the links:-

The Sugar Bowl #55 and Cute Card Thursday #155

Evening Peeps. By the time I'd finished these next 2 cards for uploading last night it was time for bed and then today the PC has been on a go slow :(((

Anyhow, this is the first one I want to show you. Another image I coloured during our weekend away. It's a Sugar Nellie image 'sitting with bear', isn't she cute. I've used copics to colour:-
skin - E21, 93, Promarker Satin
hair - E31. 33. 35
teddy - E31, 33
trousers - BG10, 13
top - RV23, 25
stool - E33, 35

The DP are MME 'pretty please' spring papers

I'm entering it into the following challenges:-

Lucky Bird

If you like a progressive challenge then designed2delight is the place to go. This is my first time participating but if you enter the first challenge of the month with the freebie on offer then you get the chance to accumulate more free digi images.

So I've coloured Lucky Bird in yellows to signify the start of Spring. I think he's cute in his wellies just waiting on those Spring showers. I've used copics Y000, 02, 06, YR04, 07, YG03, 06, W1, 3, 5. Some of the DP is by DCWV and the remainder is from my stash.

I hope you like my interpretation of the current Create4Fun sketch and the challenge links are below, x

Pile It On #10 - Up, up and away

A heart can be for Christmas, not just for Valentines Day

Okay, so I know its a Christmas card and its only February but I'm trying to keep up with my Christmas challenges and be ahead of the game by the time December arrives....

I've just bought (in a sale) a set of Papermania clear stamps in the Henbury Lane range and realised I had the matching DP at home. How clever was that then!!!

The sentiment by Simple Expressions reads 'Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful'. Isn't that a lovely verse.

I've used my new L-Em punch to punch out the leaves.

The heart I've coloured with my copics. Phew, what a job that was trying to get the colour just how I wanted it. After a lot of colouring and blending and huffing and puffing I finally achieved my colour by using E27, R37, RV29 and a lot of blender pen. The leaves are coloured with YG63, 67.

I hope you like it and I'm entering it into the following challenges, x
