Fly to your heart


 Todays card is for two challanges first  Colour Create - Green Brown and a little lavender. The second is for MOJO Mondays' sketch challenge.  I used copics to colour the fairy from The Greeting farm, the butterfly is from Mark's Finest Papers Just Dandy set,  The sentiment is from Florishes Gebra set and the tag is from Stampin' Up!.

I used glitter glue on the wings and on the buttefly,

I am late entering it in for Mojo as I am using new beautiful designer paper and I hate cutting up beautiful paper.  I know that sounds silly because it will look good on the cards but I feel if it's cut up its gone.

Thanks for looking

Daddy's little girl

Today's card was made for Colour Q.  I been dying to use this little image from the Greeting Farm again for awhile and when I saw the colours for the Colour Q show down I had to use it.

I have choosen a Father's Day card as the little cutie seemed to suit.

I paper pieced the jump suit on the girl.  I used copics to colour the sunflowers and girl.

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

sparkly Pocahontas


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.
