Dawn of Aquarius

Hi all,

Today's card is two challenges today. One for Mad For Markers April Showers challenge.  We had to think wet... Mermaids were mentioned and I immediately thought of my super cute Sweet November mermaids but my hand hovered of the Aquarius girl from the Sweet November Star Signs and I pick her up.   I used copics to create the waves in her hair (BG23, BG15,G00), the rest of the face was done also with copics. I used the shells from Stampin' UP! to help create a watery theme.

 The other challenge is for the Stampin' for the Weekend Sparkle and Shine Challenge. I used glitter glue to highlight the edges and abit of bling in the sentiment.  The papers, ribbon and sentiment are all from Stampin' Up!
Thank you for looking

I'm back!

Hello all
I am back creating cards.  I found myself losing interest and making crap cards so I stopped.  Now I am back, I think it will still take me a while to get back to things but I will try.
My first card is a mother's day card designed for the Quixotic Challenge which was a sketch.

What I visioned for this challenge was completely different to what turned out.  I worked with it and hopefully it doesn't look stupid.   I coloured the digi image (from the net) with copics R22,R46, R59,G96,G94 and G85.
Thank you for looking

Hi everyone,

Wondering where I have been... I got hooked on facebook, catching up with friends and family and playing silly games. I return to the card land hopefully with style.

I recently receive my Prize from the fantastic Blog Hop at Mad For Markers. I was lucky enough to win three spica pens. I was and still am very excited about it. I even got more of a surprise when I received four not three. Wonderful.!! Thank you Sammi!!!

I am entering todays card in the Mad For Markers Challenge. We had to show off our Spica pens and guess what I have some.
I used my chocolate spica pen to highlight image from TGF - Indian Anya's hair. I used the purple spica pen to highlight the feather and colour in the triangles of her head band, also the tassels on her dress. I used the clear Spica pen to highlight the sentiment from SU. Hopefully you can see that in the image below. Click it on it to enlarge so you get a better look.


Thank for looking leave a comment to let me know you dropped in.

I didn't forget

Hello todays card was simply made for All That Scraps anything goes challenge. I fell in love colouring this Taurus stamp from Sweet November Stamps and decided that she looks shy or sheepish, so I added the sentiment from African Veldt from Mark's Finest Papers and created the card above. I paper peiced her top from scrap paper from the background designer paper.
Thank you for looking.

mmsc111 XMas Bear

Hello,

Today's card is another xmas card (I am not going to be caught out like I was last year). I am using the lily of valley Bear with Present stamp. I have coloured him with copics in the colours matching the background DP. I have used a TGF Santa sentiment to creat a border, then added faux stitches around the images and the squares. I will mount this onto a crumb cake card, so it will tie in with stiching.

I have used the sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch challenge #111 I love there challenges and they are really supportive with their comments. Thank you ladies.
