Last minute!!

Hi everybody, I hope you are all well after eating all that Easter chocolate!

I am slipping in at the last minute with my entry at Allsorts. This time it was to follow a sketch.
I have changed things a little, but it still follows the sketch, and I am happy with the result

Have a great week

Ginga cat!

Hi everyone!

Isn't this the cutest ginger cat? It looks a little more red on the screen than in real life.
I used some stamps from 'Kevin's Gang' and masked and stamped to show the other cats behind the main image. I blended some copics to make this ginger colour, added the greeting, and doodled around the edge with a fine black pen. Layered onto a black base card.

Challenges - Rubber Dance - black and white plus one other
                      Crafty Animals - using animals
                       Stempelsonne - anything goes

I will send this of to a cat-loving friend for her birthday

Take care and have a great week

Brown pale blue, and white

Hello everyone, I hope you are all enjoying your Easter break. We are expecting visitors shortly, so hope to get this post finished.
I have used the colours for this month's Rubber Dance challenge. My background was made with shaving cream and brusho's, I tore it across the bottom, and added my stamped image (in Adirondack Espresso), which I had also torn. The brown dots were done with Liquid Pearls dark chocolate, all layered onto a white base card.
Challenges - Rubber Dance
Craft Stamper - a/g with stamping

a little birdie told me!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

The present challenge at Paper Artsy is to use the colours blue and ochre, so this is my interpretation. I started my background using a mixture of DI's, but couldn't quite get the right colour, so I added some brusho's and Infusions, and spread the colours with a paint brush. I then embossed with a woodgrain folder.  .The bird is by Tim Holtz, coloured with copics, balloons are a punch, and the words are from a Diana Wakely scribbly birds set. I will add a birthday message to the inside when I decide who to send it to
Challenges -
Paper Artsy - blue and ochre
Creative Fingers - anything goes

Coffee lovers

Hi everyone.

I have made this card so that I can join in with the coffee lovers blog hop, and also the challenge at Verve stamps
 I have printed some of the images from Verve, onto a cream cardstock, and used yellow and orange markers to highlight. I used wink of stella to add sparkle, and sponged the edges with walnut stain DI
