Deconstructed!!!!!!!!


Here is my latest card using yet another fabulous creation from Saturated Canary. I have quite a few new ones ready to colour, just need to find some "me time". Krista's images are just my all time favourites.

Anyway , the image is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I spend ages doing her hair but love how it turned out. The papers are Memory Box I think and the sentiment is Whimsy.

Enforced creative break!

Just a quick post to say that it may be a few weeks before I can share anything with you. We are getting the living room re-decorated and all my crafty stash has been banished. The wallpaper is up, just the staining, painting and carpet laying to do and then I can move it all back in.Think hubby might try to stop me moving it ALL back!
 I will still be popping around your blogs though.

My Favourite Things!

This card is for a competition to win $200 dollars of MFT goodies and the chance to be a Guest DT member. All the details are HERE . Now I don't actually have any MFT image stamps so I am hoping the sentiment stamp is sufficient to qualify. It is from their Polka Dot Greeting stamp set.

The image is from Saturated Canary. Her hair is coloured with Copics, the rest of the image is coloured with Pro and Flexmarkers. It's the first time I have coloured hair with Copics, I really like the colours. The papers are Bo Bunny and I have have used Die-namics Upsey Daisies for the flowers and leaves, adding a pearl in the centre.I also added Stickles to the bubbles.
Here is a closer look at the image
I absolutely love the dies from MFT. They cut perfectly and there is such a wide range available. I just need to acquire more of them lol! Fingers crossed that I can win some of their products and try out some of their images too.

TGIF!!!

Hurrah, no more work for 2 weeks and our school finished today for 6 weeks. Just hoping that the weather improves as I am not jetting off to sunnier climes unfortunately! Been up since 5.30a.m. as couldn't sleep. Here is the card I made this morning




The image is Whispy from Saturated Canary and I have coloured her with Pro and Flexmarkers. Papers are Teresa Collins and the sentiment is a Die-namics set. It is not quite in a straight line but I think it looks okay as it is handwriting type script. The flower is from Spellbinders Aster set with a pearl added in the centre. I used shimmer paint on her wings and added stickles to the frills of her skirt for extra sparkle
I am entering this into the following challenges
I Love Promarkers - anything goes
Bearly Mine - anything goes
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Fab n Funky - cute and girly
