Birthday Card

Hi all yes I am still alive I know it has been some time since my last post, I have no excuse but times just seems to be flying by me...

So I have a card I know shock!! this is Emma's Birthday card.. I am sorry for the bad picture quality it is raining and very windy where I live so this was the best I could in such a dark house I normally go outside for my photo's and this does not do the card any justice..

It has taken forever to use my Graphic45 DSP, I never seem to colour with Yellow and for some reason I brought this pad that has this Mustard as it's main colour, so to challenge myself I picked the DSP first and colour my Saturated Canary Digi image to match my paper choice...

Birthday Card

Hi all, here is a little card I quickly put together today for my daughter Charlotte yes another party. I wasn't going to post this card as it is not like my normal size or bling. I like to add more embellishments to my cards as well as making them larger in size and a boy card I don't do boy cards unless I have to..

So I have posted this little card because I couldn't help myself when I saw a couple of challenges out there I could play along with...

I coloured Hip Kody to suit Some Odd Girls latest challenge "colour inspiration"..

challenge card

Whilst I was blog surfing this week I came across a blog called Copic Oz. With in the first few minutes I found a challenge to enter and a tutorial, by Mandi-Lee.. I loved the image Mandi-Lee was using in her tutorial so much the first thing I had to do was to head over to Tiddly Inks to invest in this image Wryn-Close to my heart..(and maybe a couple more shhhh!)..

Now onto the the Challenge at Copic Oz

To create a project using these colours (R46, R59, G40, BG53, BG93, BG96, E87, BV31, RV55, YR24, V20, V25) or as close as you can get...

Made for Markers is also having a challenge to use new colour combo's and due to this being colours I haven't put together I am entering it there as well.

I have used V20 and V25 for the wings but they didn't come up as dark underneath so I added C5 and C3 to the shadowed part and tried Mandi-Lee's tutorial for the wings as well.

Thanks for the tutorial Mandi-Lee I love learning about these great markers..
