There's nothing like a little Attitude!! (AGAIN!!)

Some of you may think you've seen this card before!! 

Some of you will have seen this card before!!

 Some of you have even commented on this card before!!I

I published this card on - on gosh - I think it was Thursday, one of the days when Mr Blogger took his ball home and refused to play.

It disappeared, on Saturday it re-appeared so as I had Basic Grey to sort out I stuck it in drafts then forgot about it - I don't suppose I'll get my comments back though!!

So here it comes again, sorry if I'm pushing at you again.

**************************************************

Right I'm on a using up images mission - I have so many images coloured up waiting to be used it's just not true!!! How SAD is that ???

 I really do need to turn some of them into cards, the trouble is I'm as happy as a 'pig in muck'  colouring in, part of my second childhood I suspect. 

I even have one of the same image done three times, once in Copics, once is Prisma's on Kraft cs and once in distress inks!! So here is the start to the dent in my 'pile'.

This is one of the cute little hAnglar Attitude girls and I've decided to give her Nordic blond locks today andcoloured her in Copics (listed below).  The papers are Basic Grey's Aged and Confused (the papers - not me that is) The flowers are cut with a Marianne die and the swirls with a Magnolia doohickey one. The brown one is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the stunning lace is from my adorable friend America .

Here is a close up of the image and the copics used

Skin  -  E00, E02, E11,  R00, R20

Hair  Y0000, E41, E81

Dress  B00, B0, B91, B93, B95, B97

Pinafore and shoes  E44, E49, E70, E1

Thanks for stopping by (again - tee-hee)

Today at COPIC CREATIONS we are featuring an often neglected Copic color ~ YELLOW!!    There certainly are enough Y and YR Copic color choices, yet it seems to be one of the least used colors.   Poor YELLOW.

 Well, we hope to change your feelings about YELLOW today!   Below you’ll find some amazing creations from the Design Team, showcasing their favorite YELLOW Copic combinations.  Yes, you will be amazed at their work!

We are also welcoming back one of our favorite sponsors ~ Paper Makeup Stamps, owned by our own awesome DT member  Katie Cotton!    

Before I go any further I have to say I found this challenge very difficult - I don't  do yellow - I don't like yellow, I don't have anything yellow in the house, I don't have yellow flowers, I don't even do margarine because it's yellow (butter's OK it's a softer lemon colour).

I think this has something to do with having migraines as a teenager, migraine and yellow just don't go together, although that's probably just me!!! 

I really had to dig deep to find some yellow papers, they were all hidden at the back/bottom of a drawer - haven't the foggiest idea who they are by.

The flowers and leaves are cut with a Crealie's dies and the pearls and ribbon are from stash.

I love this image Katie's and  shall definitely be doing her (Moody for Art) again and I quite fancy her in blue, or even a lilac colour. We hope you’ll take some time to check out Katie's  store - you won’t be disappointed!    All the YELLOW sample cards from DT feature an image from Paper Makeup Stamps .

Mix and Match at Basic Grey!!

First we have some really sad, sad news that my matey, the lovely and very creative Tara W is having to leave us here at Basic Grey , Tara is one of my oldest blogging friends, not in age I hasten to add before she shouts at me, and I have worked with her since I first started blogging. Will miss you sweetie!!!!

Onto our challenge for you this fortnight,which is-   

Mix & Match...

We would love to see a mix of your BasicGrey crafty goodies,

this could be different collections of papers/buttons and

anything you have that is BG- all mixed up please!!

A SPECIAL welcome to our very talented Guest Designer
 Becca,

thank you for sharing your gorgeous creations with us here at BG,

it is great to have you with us Becca :)  

My papers are from two different pads, the retro styled one from Recess and the lemon and small spotted one from Hopscotch - I also used some small pearls from Basic Grey's Opaline range. I've used one of my little hAnglar Attitude girlies, she is coloured in Copics and sat upon a Tim Holtz flourish stamp. 

The flowers and butterflies are cut with Crealies dies and the flourishes with a Marianne Creatable.

As always, our wonderful sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering one lucky winner a fab $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Superstore, just think of the goodies you could treat yourself to with that !!

(Please note: This is a voucher code that entitles the winner to a $25 saving off their order in Simon Says Stamp, P+P charges will still apply unless the conditions are met to earn free P+P, please check here if you would like to see these conditions)

 

I would finally like to say a huge THANK YOU to Mr Blogger for having his 'hissy fit' yesterday..........I switched my computer off in disgust and waded through a mountain of jobs - I painted my balcony, fixed my wardrobe door, re-potted my beans and mange tout, did a huge pile of ironing (great - I now have some clothes to wear!!) then I fell into bed and slept like a log !!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend

Have you got yours yet????? If not you better hurry ...... pop over to Lili of the Valley right now because you know these amazing stamps are sure to be a resounding success!!

To help celebrate The Ribbon Girl has some wonderful candy up for grabs so make sure you pop over and enter.

I coloured many images and they went down with a migraine and couldn't focus enough to colour them, perhaps that will teach me to make cards one by one!!!

This one is Abracadabera, coloured with Copics and made into a shadow box card to which I've added some holographic 'strinkle' shapes.

I've added texture with a Cuttlebug floral border and stars cut with a Dienamic's die.

Simon Says.....................Look What the Stork Brought!!

Our Says Stamp challenge this  week's challenge is ...........................

LOOK WHAT THE STORK BROUGHT !!!

As many of you will know, Heidi's baby is due anyday now and we are all eagerly awaiting the news that we are to be Auntie's again !! We would love to see your baby cards !

Sshhhh a little birdie told us that Heidi's baby is a girl, if anyone would like to make a card and send it to her then please email us for the address :-) Thanks xx

We are welcoming Christine aka Nanaseaside to join us in the Designer Spotlight for the next 4 weeks :-) I am sure most of you will have visited Christine's blog but if you haven't you're in for a treat !! Please pop over and say Hi :-)

I used the House Mouse image Sleepy Head, (isn't it just so sweet??) - it is coloured with the usual Copics and cut out with the Spellbinders large Ocgagons and then mounted one two of the Spellbinders Fleur-de-lis Pendants. I have 'framed' the image with Magnolia's Doohicky  swirls and coated everything liberally with Stardust Stickles.

The base of the card is embossed with the cuttlebug Seeing Spots folder.
The lace, ribbon and charm are from my stash.
I do love all white cards but do wish it wasn't such a nightmare photographing them.

As usual Heidi will be giving one lucky entrant a $50 voucher to her  FANTASTIC Simon Says Stamp Superstore !! See the NEWEST stuff on the All New Just In Page For fabulous tutorials, inspiration and candy you should keep an eye on the Simon Says Stamp Blog too !!! :-)

Now I'm off to get very wet!! I've got all behind hand due to that thumping migraine I had last week and desperately need to do some errands and visit the bank and guess what .............. we are in the middle of a  whacking great  thunderstorm. I don't suppose I'll shrink though!!
