I've not been around much this week - partly because I've been practicing with the koh-i-noors, but mainly because the kids are driving me maaaaaaaaad, so I've been trying to get out with them most days. For the first few weeks of the holidays, it was nice having things a bit more relaxed, but it will be so nice to be back into the usual routines when school starts again!
The fabby image is from Digistamp Boutique, and is one Sally-Ann was lovely enough to draw for me - I had a request from a customer and this is just perfect for it, thanks Sally-Ann :o) He's available here if you'd like him too. I've coloured him with promarkers, and then added shading with the koh-i-noors... not very well on this one! I think I need some different card - the promarkers blend fine on the one I'm using, but it's coated and the pencils don't seem to blend so well on it. I shall keep practicing! I've paper pieced the present, and added 2 layers of glossy accents to the ribbon to raise it up higher than the paper piecing. The papers are Making Memories, cardstock and ribbon from my stash, and cute little buttons from Crafty Emma's Store. I just need to add the sentiment now.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Creative Inspirations - fab sketch
- Allsorts - paper piecing
- Stampin' For The Weekend - anything goes
- Digistamp Boutique - monthly competition
Love it! I think the colouring is brilliant and I love the image and sketch...might use taht one! I popped some of that card in the post for you today so watch out for a bright pink envelope in the morning

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean I have just had a horrendous day with my two. Raining so a day at home painting, then face painting then ordinary painting again - then argueing and tears - I'm totally frazzled. No crafting either although I was painting with them!!
Gorgeous card hun.
