BabyGirl

Hello Again

This card was a step away from my comfort zone, as I seem to spend a lot of my time making male orientated cards, so to go pink was a really shock to my system,but was quite pleased with the result.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Crafty Catz - 2 or more patterned papers

Polkadoodles - pink and pretty

Peacock Glory

Hello Again

I simply adore this stamp, from Stampin' Up. It did take me a while to colour with ProMarkers but I was really happy with the outcome. As the design was so intricate, I thought I'd keep the layout really clean and simple, but couldn't resist just a little bit of bling.

Colouring Time

 Hello Again,

Blogging twice in two days, must mean I'm on holiday !!!

Today I thought I'd try out my new Spectrum Noir pencils, that I got for my birthday a little while ago. This is attempt number one, so please be gentle with me. They were fab to colour with but I think the blending may take a bit more practise, but must admit think I'm in love.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Papertake Weekly - anything goes

Incy Wincy Designs - clean and simple

The Pink Elephant - pastel colours

Great Impressions - go green

Bendi Card

Afternoon All

I hope everybody had a good Easter. I am lucky enough to have a few days holiday, so I thought I'd try something new - a Bendi Card. 

This was really fun to make, and once I got my head round how to decorate it, I was away. The stamp is a Magnolia one, which has been partially coloured with Promarkers and the dress, headband and balloon are paper pieced, as are the balloons in the background. The card is actually yellow and pink, an unusual colour combo for me, but the pink is not showing up great in the photos. I think I'll have to get my ladies in my class to give this a go.

I would like to enter it in the following challenges;

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - spring colours

Love To Scrap - dots or stripes

The Pink Elephant - pastel colours

Love hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia - use a sentiment

A Gem Of A Challenge - anything but square

Sweet Stampin' - paper piecing

Sami Stamps - paper piecing

and

Fab n Funky - lots of layers

Thanks for stopping by
