I'm back :D

Wow I can't believe it has been 2 years since I last crafted properly! I am so rusty its untrue but I am excited to hopefully get back into it all again now :D
I hope you have all been well and are enjoying the summer holidays. I couldn't resist this little Mo Manning cutie. So had to colour him up. You can get him as a digi form from HERE or as a clear stamp from the penny black Fairy sweet stamp set. I coloured him with the following pro markers:

Skin: Vanilla, Ivory and pastel pink

Hair: Umber, Khaki and Almond

Ladybird: Gold, canary and primrose

Nappy: Pine, green and pastel green

Wings: Soft aqua

I also added some star dust stickles and mint green liquid pearls. The paper is an old one I have so many papers and am making it my new mission to try and use what I have got before I get anymore........that may not last that long but I'm going to try :)

Kraftin' Kimmie's sketch challenge

I really really do still have a massive Kraftin' Kimmie addiction so couldn't resist colouring this beauty up. It has taken me ages to finaly use her but I think she is so pretty.

This weeks challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie is a great sketch....

 

I have coloured Rose with promarkers andthen cut her out using spellbinders lables die. The papers have a fabric texture to them and are from First Editions Floral Pavilion pack, the sentiment is from Whimsy's Ticket notes set and the gems and ribbon is from my stash.

I am back!! :D

Well I have fallen off the blogging planet for ages but I think I am now back. 

I want to say a massive thank you to all the incredibly talented ladies that came to the crafty weekends the last 2 weekends. I had such a great time and feel all inspired. We made a record number of creations and I hope you all had as much fun as I did.

Here is the first of my creations a boys card. It is time for another Natalie and Amy challenge and we want you to make something for a man or boy. I just couldn't resist these adorable stamps and I coloured them up with my promarkers...

I have used the following goodies from the shop Kraftin' Kimmie's Cute-a-saurus stamps, Whimsy fun life tickets 2, 5 x 5 card blank, First editions blank canvas papers.

I thought I would go for a different shape of card for a change as well so chopped the corner off my 5x5 card.
