A little distressed!

I decided to do some distressing and inking on this card. I really love the effect, goodness knows why I haven't done it for ages?


This image is from Saturated Canary and is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. The yummy papers are Bo Bunny Prairie Chic, they jumped into my basket at my local craft shop today. The sentiment is Whimsy Stamps.

Normal Service Resumed!

Yes we are back to work and school this week but managed to fit in a card today.


This is not a very good picture, the lighting is not great - something to do with the dreadful rainy day it has been perhaps?
The image is Orchard Love from Saturated Canary and is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I tried a new colour combo for the hair, jury is still out on that one!

Time for some more Saturated Canary loveliness


This is the beautiful Princess Honor, inspired by The Hunger Games if I remember correctly. I absolutely loved that trilogy of books, haven't seen the film yet but it is on my to do list.
I coloured her hair with Copics, the rest is Promarkers and Flexmarkers. Oops I have just noticed I have not coloured her eyes, will have to rectify that later tonight.

New baby

I went to my first baby shower yesterday and here is the handmade part of my gift.

I have had this shadow box for a while. It is the first one I have attempted and was not really sure what to do but am pleased with how it turned out. The image is the beautiful Bambino from Sugar Nellie, coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. The flowers are all WOC.

I am entering this into the following challenges

Sugar Bowl - anything goes

Hot Shot Crafts - anything but a card


A closer look at the image below


and then a wee look at the cupcakes I made for the baby shower. 



Hope you are having a nice weekend. It is horrid weather here, the snow returned yesterday. Typical when I am on holiday and we are meant to be setting off in the caravan next week....

A Wee something to share with you!

My first Wee stamps. I have seen lots of these images on blogs and finally managed to acquire one or two.

Isn't she a sweetie? I coloured her with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. The papers are a mixture of Basic Grey and Prima. I will add a sentiment once I know what I will use the card for.
I am entering this into the following challenges

That's all from me for now. I am now on holiday from work until the 15th so hoping to get lots more colouring done (fingers crossed)! Hope you all had a lovely Easter. Here is a wee image of the Easter Pavlova I made.

 The boys have requested I make it again soon :-)
