An afternoon colouring

I love colouring in and thought I'd have a go with a few Sugar Nellie digi stamps that I have had for a while.
I have used my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens from Crafter's Companion which I find so easy to olour with and they blend fantasically.

The little girl on the first card is called Hope and she looks so pensive she is my favourite of the 3.

The backing paper is from some free papers that came with a magazine, the purple backing is Core'dinations, the butterflies are from Craftwork Cards and the rose is of of course a Wild Orchid one

Next is Melissa, I have done this card for my Mother-in-Law's birthday card.

The backing is printed on Centura Pearl and printed from the SWALK 2 cd. Once again I have used Core'dinations to mat her onto and flowers from Wild Orchid. I've tried to match the pink to the colour of the flower she is carrying.

The sentiment is again taken from the SWALK 2 cd and matted onto a circle cut using my silhouette and then onto the pink Core'dinations.

And last but not least is poor little Nathan - he just looks as though any minute now he is going to burst into tears.

I have used papers from the same freebies as before, Core'dinations card stock, ribbon from my stash and CraftWork Cards card candi.

There is one more little girl to follow... Sybil, she is all coloured in but I have yet to play with her and make her into a card.

Hope you like my work and I would appreciate any feedback good or bad

Good afternoon, I really need to get on top of this blogging thing. Promised myself was going to blog at least once a week but time just seems to fly and before i know it another week has passed
Spent Saturday evening sorting out all my lovely Spectrum Noir pens into colour groups and organised a colour chart so yesterday when we got back from a lovely lunch I decided I was going to forget about everything else and have a play.

The stamp is a sugar Nellie Gorjuss one and the doily and flowers are from wild orchid. I've used some  backing papers from POlkadoodles and craftwork cards and one of their sentiments. The wings are glittered although it doesn't show up that well on the piccie.

Lots of cards made but no photos!

well Mothers day came along and I made lots of cards (from us and the kids) and took them to both mums on Sunday and it wasn't til I got home I realised I hadn't photographed them!!!

Then for the craft club I had to be quick in putting something together so used an easel draw card printout I downloaded from the Printable Craft Shop, I did resize it to make it smaller so I could use less card and added pearls and brads from my stash.

Picture isn't brilliant as camera battery was almost dead

It turned out quite well and the ladies loved making them I added some mini dairy milk choccy bars so we could put them in the draws.

Tatty Teddy

Good afternoon, I hope your all having a good Sunday!
I run a craft club in a sheltered housing complex and have been planning our next make this weekend. We had some new members join us last week and one lady expressed a love for Tatty Teddy so I got my Do-Crafts CD out, used my silhouette to cut the boxes and hey presto it all came together.

Tatty was duplicated and I flipped one, cut him out and used acetate to stand him in the middle of the box, glueing the figures back to back. All the embellishments and papers are from the cds except the little roses at Tatty's feet,  these are from My Craft Studio Paper Flowers. I shrank the sheets down so they are tiny, printed and made them up. 

The box is made from card  kindly dontaed to the club by The Paper Mill and is a cream pearlised card.

 I've spent today using my Silhouette to draw out a further 10 of these for my ladies to cut out and make up on Tuesday evening.

Strawberry kisses

I've promised my self I am going to try and blog at least once a week, working full time, looking after the family might get in the way but I'll try my best!!!

This weekend I've been playing with my spectrum noirs and Crafters companion strawberry kisses stamps.  I am trying to improve on my colouring techniques and I love these little characters, they are so easy to colour and bring to life and can be used for many occasions.

The backing papers are from the matching CD and the card blanks, sentiments and gems are from my stash. I've used the card companions off the CD for speed and because they match perfectly.
