Chelsea

Hi everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at Crafts and Me plus I have a new release to share with you! The challenge this week is Ribbon and you have the chance to win a set of Promarkers!! How awesome is that! 

Now I have the lovely Chelsea by Hannah Lynn to share with you this week...she is from the upcoming new digi release! How gorgeous is she! I am loving all of these mermaids lately... I don't want you to think I got off light with the ribbon theme, you can see a little bit of green ribbon poking out there but actually...see those brown leaves? That is actually a brown ribbon leaf! I have had it sitting in my stash for a little while now and haven't had the right opportunity to use them until now :D

Ahhh...some of my fave papers...Prima Nature Garden - so pretty!! :D I coloured up Chelsea using my copic markers and here are the colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R11

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Outfit: Purple V000, V01, V04, V06, V09 Aqua G000, G00, BG13

Spring Whisper + LMM New Release!

Hi everyone! Have you seen the new releases over at Little Miss Muffet lately? If you haven't you have to pop over and check them out and don't forget there is still time left to enter this week's Anything Goes Challenge! One of my faves from the new release is the Angel accessories pack -  I have used the angel wings on Spring Whispers :)

Isn't she just so pretty! I think the wings really suit her :) I have also used one of the new background images 'Pillar' from Crafts and Me - I think it's a perfect fit!

Now I tried a new combination for her hair and am not completely convinced. It is quite dark so maybe I need just a few more highlights....Here are the colours that I used anyway:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R11

Hair: E11, E15, E08, YR02, YR07

Dress: Blue BG000, BG01, BG05, BG09 Orange YR000, YR02, YR07

Wings/Pillar: W0, W1, W3, W5, W7

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Hidden + New Digi Release!

Hi everyone! There is a brand new digi release this week over at Crafts and Me and let me tell you they are AMAZING! Here is one of my faves from the new release...it is the gorgeous Hidden by Sara Burrier.

I really like how this one turned out! I had so so so much fun colouring her dress and tried to make all of the pleats quite dark and contrasting. It took me a long time to colour but I think it turned out quite well! :D

Lots of fun embellies as usual and I coloured her up using my copics. The sentiment is one from my Grow set by Some Odd Girl. Here are the colours that I used to colour her up:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R11

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Dress: BG000, BG13, BG49, BG09

Wings: R000, R81, R85, R59

**ALSO - Do you guys like seeing a bigger close up of the coloured image? I was doing a smaller one before but I don't think you could see much more detail than the image above. Let me know your thoughts :D **

Don't forget there is still time left to enter this week's challenge where the prize is 3 digi stamps from Crafts and Me - you could even get this one to practice your pleats! :D hehe

So Sorry + CMC Blog Hop!

Hi everyone! It's an exciting day for me....not only have I been asked to guest design over at the CMC Creative Challenge Blog, but I also get to participate in their blog hop! Woohoo! :D


Here's a bit of low down on the hop:

Welcome to a special Color Me Creative Challenge Blog Hop! The Design Team has put together some fabulous creations using Saturated Canary’s digital images to kick-start the CMC Summer Sale! Starting May 25th thru August 24th all CMC Classes will be on sale and bundled classes will be on special too...see the CMC Classroom for more details!

It’s a fabulous time to take advantage of classes and once you sign up you get a full year in each of the classes you register for...but you can also buy them now and SAVE them to start this fall...your 1 year term does not start until you sign into a class.

We hope you hop along with the CMC DT today to see all the fabulous creations and be inspired!

We hope you enjoy the hop and thank you for joining us today. Be sure to stop over and check out all the classes offered at CMC!

Here is the card that I created for the hop using Saturated Canary's So Sorry.

I am pretty sure she is the cutest little girlie ever! I absolutely adore Saturated Canary images but don't get a huge change to play with them due to my dt committments so when I do I feel like a kid in a candy shop hehehe. Plus that doesn't stop me from owning half the store LOL. 

I coloured her up using copic markers. Here are the colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R11

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Top: R81, R85, R59

Skirt: YG000, YG03, YG63, YG67

I can't find So Sorry in the shop to link her up! So erm...sorry! D:

Fairy Keri Cherry

Phew what a mouthful...hehe I think I get that wrong and have to double check every time I write it out! ;) But she is a CUTIE! I love these images...DTS Art are one of the sponsors this fortnight over at Southern Girls Challenge where we have a theme of Die Cuts for you to play along with! I love my die cuts and punches but this just wasn't coming together as well as I had hoped...maybe it is the colours or something? Ahh well a little different so can't be all bad ;)

Actually now that I look at the card more I kinda like it. The papers are quite nice :) hehe. More of a 'simple' card. I have some fun cheery lynn dies there, a big flourish, and a queen anne lace border. I really like this die - good as an alternative to lace/ribbon.

I coloured Keri up using my copics. My R20 ran out as I was colouring though! Don't ya hate it when that happens?  hehe. Here are the colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R11

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Dress: Y15, Y17, YR23, YR02

Wings: BG000, BG01
