Hi There!

I've been on a roll this weekend and managed to catch up with some card orders I have - my laptop  is not behaving and won't work so instead of faffing around on the t'internet I've been colouring!  Having to use another pc to blog - the keyboard is awful to use so hopefully my laptop will be working again soon!

I've coloured this Tiddly Inks image - Hi There Boy with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and also coloured the little background behind him.  I discovered the Cuttlebug embossing folder in my stash and dread to think how long I've had it as this is the first time I've used it!

The number 6 I've drawn and then coloured with Promarkers plus a little faux stitching around the edge.  The string is also from my stash along with the half pearls.

Coffee and Aqua

I'ts been a really, really long time since I joined in with a challenge from Sweet Sketch Wednesday!  I had some papers on the table that I really liked the look of - Coffee With Pals from Now That's Funky cd from Funky Hand (its only £1!!) so I coloured the Tiddly Inks image - Anna Belle Birthday Wishes with a combination of Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

I've layered the papers onto some chocolate brown card I had in my stash plus used a little charm, embroidery thread and organza ribbon to finish it off.  The number 6 is a Sizzix die cut and I've coloured it with Promarkers to match the theme and then added lots of glitter glue.

Getting Ahead!

I do like to be organised and ahead of myself because when I leave something to the last moment, something usually happens and my schedule goes out of the window!  I like to work from lists and this is a card I've been asked to make for a little girl's birthday which is not until December!

Image and sentiment are both from Jellypark - they are not in the new store, but if you drop Jellypark an email, I'm sure a custom listing can be arranged!  I've used Promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour along with glitter glue on the dress.

Papers are Dovecraft 6x6 Tea House pad - I had to do some creative joining as the paper wasn't big enough to cover all the card!  Blue and pink cardstock is from my stash along with the half pearls.
