Simon Says ,,,,,, Use Domi's Sketch !

We had some amazing creations for our Spots and Stripes challenge for us to admire last week and nowhave our lovely teamie, Domi, has made this gorgeous sketch for us all to use this week. You can rotate or flip it, as long as we can see the basic sketch.

Introducing  Popcorn  from Crafter's Companion and called Birthday Hugs 

He is a pretty 'BIG' Boy  and an absolute dream to colour other than it is blue!!!!

I did manage a purple/blue once!!! I did head a problem about the 'duck' - didn't want the norm yellowy colour so he ended up a pale blue!!!

Popcorn is coloured with Copics 

Prima flowers and a Nellie Snellen punch  used together and coloured with  Distress Ink - Broken China 

Stickles are coated liberally with Popcorn's bow

Look at the colour of the inner side of the card - I think I need this natural daylight - even though  this was  a daylight lamp it is rubbish!!!!!!

Ooops - should have been Basic Grey DT

This card was originally for the Basic Grey DT  -  I have had no computer since Christmas.......so all my images have been stuck into my blog so I thought I should put them to use!!!

 Poppy the Circus Girl, is called this beautiful image by Kirsta Smith and the image is used by Copics.
Basic Grey's is used Porcelain and the colours cut by Nellie Snellon.

The flowers are Prima Calcutta and the leaves cut by Crealies.   I have added the stamped corners by
Stempelglede and pearls by Basic Grey.

                                        

There are for  the Bearly Mine challenge which are ANYTHING GOES - but guess what !!! - I actually won the last challenge - I am so thrilled and excited I am - perhaps my luck is changing in the new hear!!!

I hope this is the end of this computer bad behavior - I've been missing you and I hope I can slowly pick pu the pieces and start vising  you again.

I welcome you all the New Year and hope it all brings you all magical!!!

Mo's DP2 challenge - TUESDAY, 11 JANUARY 2011

TUESDAY, 11 JANUARY 2011

Just a card without a challenge

I've been have a big sort-out today, in my computer, in my stash - well just about everywhere and I found a card that I never got round to posting.

I did a wall hanging for a friend using this image and immediately wanted to do it again in different colours, so I thought I'd show it you.

It is of course one of Mo's and I think it is my overall favourite at the moment and it's called 'Learning to Read'.

I coloured it this time in Copics using mainly R20's and C's.

The top left hand corner looked bare but it really didn't lend itself to embellishments so I simply added a computer generated sentiment and then matted and layered it onto red cardstock.

I would like to frame it but doubt whether I would find a frame the correct size and so would probably have to make one.
Right hopefully I will finish sorting out my jumbled up downloaded papers this evening - wish me luck!!

EDITED

This has been entered to DP2 Favourite 2011 - one is 'All time favourite' which was never made for any challenge - just for fun - so it is gratified it that is part of a entered


Having had no computer since I arrived to England I really want wish you'd all had a fabulous Christmas a love to you all for the happiness with New Year.
