Happy Easter & Magical Mermaid

I finished colouring my mermaid and decided in the end to use for a card. It's a

large card but will make someone happy.

First up we have this cute little rabbit, a new digital from Mo's. As I didnt have much in the way of Easter stamps I couldn't resist as it was half price on release day.

Coloured with copics, very easy and quick. I did two actually but only have one here.

I did this one in C's and the other in 'W' tones. I will put both together next post so you can see the difference in the greys.

To add a bit of kick to the card I have run washi tape down each side. Isn't this one magic.

Rainbow colours in metallic foil, yumm.

I added a layer of yellow fun foam to lift this layer slightly and it looks nice

side on with that line of bright yellow. Sentiment comes with the image.

Here's my mermaid all finished. Boy that was a lot of hair and trying to work out where the shadows were meant to be was a job and a half but I was happy in the end. Decided to do her tail in greens

and tried doing the colourless blender pen dots but they just didnt show up in the patterned scales so ended up adding lots of Wink of Stella for sparkle.

Hard to see the sparkle but it certainly got Elysha's tick of approval ' ohh mum she wunful'

Added her to a pale green/blue cardbase with just a slight trim off at the bottom. Added the 

Magical' sentiment from Stamplorations and then some 'bubbles' white and very pale blue sparkle

enamel dots (more mum, more... yes that perfect).

Another Birthday......Another Gray Hare

 Second post today. I was sitting in my craft room and thinking about the challenges that

are wanting 'green' or 'leaves' and then I remembered this brilliant stamp.

I cant remember where I saw it, but someone had used it and I fell in love, had to have it and of course it was waiting to be used. NBUS Art Gone Wild stamp by Michelle Masters 'Unique Topiary'

Need I say any more!!!!

Coloured with Copics YG01 YG25 & G17 and C1 C3 & C5 for my grey hair (rabbit).

The sentiment is from the Grouchy Grumplings stamp set from Taylored Expressions set of

stamps and sentiments and I just couldn't pass up a good way to use the sentiment.

I only have the pale blue coming from behind my Hare as though he is powering

towards another birthday. It was quick and easy and now I have to try a watercoloured

version.  So cute.

Happy Birthday To You Rainbow

 I am so in need of little one's birthday cards, especially as Sophie says

with Unicorns (also My little Pony & Trolls, but I lack those ones).

Found an easy way to make them, using the stitched die hard circle to cut out the front of the card.

Make a whole lot of rainbows freehand with Distress Inks, just waited for each arc to dry before

doing the next and doing a few at a time saves time later. Then of course I needed to add Wink of Stella.

Sparkle is amazing IRL. Did in some different colour combos for variety.

Coloured the Unicorn and stars from Papersmooches with Copics, a bit of Wink of

Stella on the main and stars but it doesn't show.

Used the Misty (even with the whole card put together first) to stamp the

sentiment a couple of times and its all finished.

Spring is in the Air Doodle Flowers

Quick post last minute card. Love how it turned out and maybe too fiddly for theChallenge I did it for but it just worked for me.

Doddle flowers I was given as digital images many years ago.

These ones all coloured with purples and greens.

Decided to cut off 2 inches of the front of the card and add acetate 

so the flowers could hang over the edge of the white card.

I then decided to blend a soft blue Distress ink getting slightly darker towards

the outside.

Then I added another doddle flower in pinks and blues at the top that you

cant see when the card is shut. Added the 'smile' die cut and sentiment from

the same set - 'sending you a'

Last bit stamped ' Spring is in the Air' from another stamp set/ 

Challenge - Addicted to CAS #106 Doodle

Hope its not too busy. 

She's not finished yet but I printed up big so I could practice hair colouring.

Blues B18 B24 B32 & B21 as lightest. You can see two different styles here.On the left 

is more blended on the right more defined lines. Cant decide which I like more, So hard

with all these loops trying to decide which has shadows and how much is too much shadow.

Thoughts??? Anyone!!

The flower Challenge #6 Anything Goes Reminder

Its time for us to all show you some more ideas for cards with flowers.

This time I have remembered to add the button. I forgot on my last post, which is really really slack. One because Vivien went to the trouble of making these wonderful buttons and two because its a bit

rude of me to say to people 'make sure you add our button to your post' when I forget.

so now it's here, so if you want just grab it here and get making.

This card is the same as a previous card I posted, just different colour for the flower and washi tape.

I like the washi tape look which is lucky because I had stamped a few images and none of them were centred. So me. 

Alright so this is a Hero Art stamp was on wood, I removed so I can just use a stamping block or the Misti.

Did the leaves again in grey C1 C3 C5 and the pinks are RV000, RV10, RV02 and RV04 in that order.

I love this washi, gold foil with pink fading out or in depending on how you look at it. I have attached the flower panel with a layer of pink fun foam behind (bright pink)

You can just see it here.

Die cut from Stamplorations 'forever' and stamped '& Always' from a CC Designs sentiment kit, Cut the 'forever' part off. A heart enamel spot just because (no spots to hide lol).

Thank you so much for coming to have a look and now it's time to go to

The Flower Challenge and look at all the other Design Team beauties.

Last minute (35 minutes actually) decision. I wanted to do a

card from the inspiration photo on Muse Challenge #206

Isn't this card so beautiful. Of course I sat and procrastinated

all week over this thinking what stamp to use and yes it came

to me an hour ago. Black stamped image embossed, pinks and orange.

reversed my layers as I had stamped crooked so orange on white.

This brilliant stamp is from Stamplorations and I heat embossed the black

ink to finish it off perfectly. I stamped it crooked (!!) so had to cut out

once I had painted the colours. I went with light and bright pink and orange

and brown for centres.

Added to an orange layer from wonky stitch die square from MFT

and die cut 'beautiful' from Concord 9.

Need to post or will miss it, so thanks so much for coming to visit and please,
