Happy Day

Good morning all.

The revolting natives have been calmed with a full fridge...don't suppose it will stay that way for long though!

On Saturday night I did a live colouring class with Alyce Keegan from Kit and Clowder. My live colouring wasn't too great....my skin colours were wrong, it was late and the adverts kept popping up at the most inopportune moments! Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!
Here is my second attempt done at leisure on Sunday, with better light.


The image is Flower Girl from Lia Stampz available at Whimsy Stamps which I've coloured with promarkers. Backing paper is from Prima...which I've embossed with a corner die and inked with DI whilst still in the die. Corner and foliage dies are both from Marianne Designs. Circle dies are from Spellbinders. The gorgeous ribbon is a new acquisition from Crafty Ribbons which I couldn't resist! Flowers are from Petal Lu, sentiment from Hero Art and leaves and doily from my stash.

I have now signed up to do the skin and hair colouring classes at Kit and Clowder so hoping to find some time over the next few weeks to get to grip with it.

Guest Design Spot Lia Stampz

I was lucky enough to win a Guest Design spot at Lia Stampz recently. This fortnight the theme is pastel card. I've used an image from Lia Stampz called Chiky for my card.


The image has been coloured with promarkers and the background inked with antique linen DI after being die cut with a nestie square and mounted onto a scalloped square. Papers are from First Edition Spring Drops collection. Border punch is a Martha Stewart. Sentiment is computer generated. Ribbon and pearls from my stash.
Inside was decorated to match.


Challenges entered:
Paper Pretties - use lots of layers
Karen's Doodles - something spring
Crafty Sentiments - spring + pastel colours
Di's Digi Designs - Easter
Little Darlins - pastels
The Crafter's Cafe - spring + pastel colours
