Everybody around the world come on!...


Today's card is for several challenges.   Firstly I used the Saturated Canary's fancy image and used a dotty background for the Saturated Canary challenge # 25 - Dotts.  The sketch is from  Sketch N Stash Challenge #95  I used my new copic color E74 and a neglected flower that I bought ages ago, but found they were too bulky for mailing, so I put them in the draw and hadn't looked at them until today when I was looking for some ribbon.  I used faux stitching using a spica silver pen for the Cute Card Thursday challenge232 - stitch in time.  I also blinged it up with pearls in the hair.  The colour scheme is for the colour Q challenge.



I didn't have any Bermuda Bay colour so I used copics to create the colour  on the dress.

Thank you for looking

To Sir with love/ Mrs Robinson




Today's card is for the CR84FN colour Challenge  and Cute Card Thursday's Back to school using the Saturated Canary by Krista Smith's Grad Boy ang Girl.  I used copics to colour the images in.  The Sentiments are from a couple of different sets from The Greeting Farm and Whiff Of Joy.   I realised later that I hadn't put in the border on the boy card sentiment, so I will have to go back and put on in.

Thank you for looking

White man can't jump

Hello Today's card is for the Freshly Made sketches #46 .  I don't normally do masculine cards as I think the girly cards are more interesting, but I decided I need to do some.  I chose the image bball from Saturated Canary and coloured him up with copics, then followed the sketch using the DP well worn from SU. 

Thank you for looking

Polka dots and moonbeams





Today's card is for the Saturated Canary Challenge Blog #22 Black, White plus one.

I have chosen pink as I thought it would looked good with the fancy image from Krista.  I added pearls as a borders and added white dots to the ribbon just to distinguish it as a bow as the black seemed to hide some of the detail.  The DP paper is from Stampin' Up!.  I used copics to colour her in.  I wanted I white cate but she ended up pale pink.

Who sang the title song?

Lady in Red...




Hi Everyone today's card is for two challenges. The sketch is for Mojo Monday 250 .   I had real hard time trying to work out what kind of card I was going to do for this sketch.  I love the sketch and I will probably use it again.  I couldn't decide of a colour scheme, but I wanted to use the colour scheme from the CR84FN challenge so I did. 



 I chose the image called fancy from Krista Smith. I coloured the image in using copics and added pearl in her hair.  I used the Stampin' UP! sentiment.

When ever I hear this song it reminds me of Lady Diana, I don't know why.

Thank Heavens for little Girls


This is so true....,as a mother of two beautiful girls I couldn't resist this image from Saturated Canary.  I have coloured them in with copics using B BV and BG in line with my first challenge from Mad for Markers.  The hair colouring is based on my two girls Sami and Mik.  I used the cloud technique using a scallop cirle punch and post it notes to cover the image and sponged away with Night of Navy.  I made the flowers with the flower punch after going through so old DP.   Here is the long list of colours I used for the challege. B02 B05 B12 B29 B39 B93, B95 B97, BG01 BG05 BG09 BG15 BG 23 BG34 BV02, BV04, BV08 BV00 and BV13.

For the next challenge since I am using their image I am entering the Saturated Canary Challenge #19   Bling it up.

I have use glitter glue on the crown jewels and on the centre flower. I used diamond dots on the corners.

I hope you enjoy

Can you write the next line of the song and who sung it?
