Normal Service will resume shortly!

Hi everybody, well I am so wrapped up in Olympic fever, and School holidays at the moment, that I haven't really done very much crafting so I thought I would just share some photos with you,

I will be blogging again in a couple of days,when I will have time to tell you about a charity thing that I want your help with!!

And finally....

I wish I was a tidy crafter!

Happy Colouring

Go Team GB !

In honour of tonight's Olympic Games opening ceremony, I thought an appropriately themed card was in order!

So all I am going to say is GOOD LUCK, to all our athletes and lets show the rest the world Just what makes Britain GREAT.

Normal Service is Now Resumed

Well, after being briefly afflicted with Christmas, normal service shall now be resumed!

I have a whole heap of birthdays and things coming up, so got a little busy over the weekend and this is the first of my efforts!

Yet again I have chosen a Krista Smith Digi image from Saturated Canary, I am completely addicted to her images, they are gorgeous and so great to colour, I seem to be able to see someone I know in all the cutie little images.

For this card I wanted something super sophisticated with just a hint of bling! 

As always I chose my papers first, and I have to apologise as I don't know who's papers these are, I also need to add that I used a quickie glue pen and some glamour dust to bling them up!

I continued the black and cream theme inside, and put my Cricut to good use, albeit time consuming I love the effect of the lettering.

So I am guessing you came here to find out what promarkers I used???

Here goes.... Hair:

Almond, Tan, Cinnamon, Cocoa and chestnut.

Face: 

Satin, Oatmeal, Tea Rose and Sunkissed pink.

Bow and Skirt :

Ivory, Vanilla and Sandstone

Bodice and Gloves:

Cool Grey 1-5 and Black.

Thanks for stopping by today, Happy Colouring xx

Oh no its the C word !!

So I have made the first of this years Christmas cards, beating last years 31st of July efforts! You never know one day I may be one of those organised people and start making them in January !

We received our first shipment of Christmas goodies in the shop today and on The mulberry-bush, online.

We just couldn't resist them, so of course one or two bits had to come home with me!

CL252 -Bella in Pot

I've added a tiny little bit of

Glamour Dust.

As it's mid July I don't have any of my Christmas stamps out of storage yet, so had to scrabble around for a greeting in my oddsies box ! Luckily I found this one which I thought was quite appropriate. It was a magazine freebie.

Here's a list of the promarkers  I have used:

Hat:

Red, Crimson, Ruby, Burgundy

Bella:

Warm Grey's 1-4, Sunkissed pink, Blush

Holly:

Pear Green, Pine, Holly

Pots:

Oatmeal, Ginger, Spice, Terracotta, Henna, Cocoa, Walnut, Raw Sienna & Umber!

I have coloured the background with Faded Jeans Distress Ink, I stamped onto a sticky note and masked off the coloured image and the snowy area at the bottom and used an ink blending tool to add the ink.

The background papers are also from Wild Rose Studios, I hope you like Bella as much as we do, further projects will follow, just got to get my head round that word...

Ch******s !!

Happy Colouring
