Totally Tropical!

Hi everyone

I made something a little different this week.  My final reminder to pay for my holiday has arrived, and to get me in the holiday mood, I thought I'd give in to the crafting trends and make something totally tropical!

I used a selection of items to make this:

• Pink petticoat digi image
• pink petticoat papers
• kay miller digi kit flowers
• a very old leaf die (I don't even know the make its that old!)
• promarkers to colour

I printed all the papers and matted and layered them together.  I love the ombre effect paper, its so smooth and clean! The image was printed and circle die cut around.  It already has the sentiment on it, and I coloured it very simply using promarkers.  Then die cut the leaves, coloured them also with promarkers, before printing and cutting out the flowers.

I hope you like it

I used spring walks as my image and here's my card I made with it.

I used Promarkers to colour her up.  The backing papers are from pink petticoat printed and cut to size.  The sentiments are Lili of the valley everyday sentiment tags (the digi set online) all tied with a piece of ribbon from my craft stash.

I just love this image - I can see it being used over and over again!

April Challenge

Hello everyone

Its time again for another blog challenge over at all dressed up, with a chance to win three images of your choice and a Guest DT spot for the following month.

There are so many gorgeous images its difficult to choose which one to pick, but this month I chose this little gem called happy holiday

The image was coloured onto watercolour card using zig clean colour markers (my latest colouring obsession!) mounted on a very old doily die - so old I don't even know who made it!

The backing papers are from a nitwit set called 'hello sunshine' as are the flowers.  The sentiment was just typed in different fonts and printed out.

I hope you like it!

Thanks for your lovely comments and for taking the time to stop by here.  please hop over to the all dressed up blog for more details of our challenge and hopefully to enter!

See you soon
