I-Copic Challenge  

Fresh brewed designs  sparkle

Stamped Candle

This is a first for me, this is why I love the challenges they make me go out side the square, around the corner and downt he twist.  I used Stazon for the stamp and my copics to add a very small amount of colour.

The challenges that inspried me were:-

Penny Black Saturday - stamp anything but white card, I went glass
allsortschallenge - Light up the night - a candle somewhere, I used a Soy candle for a birthday present

Merry Christmas

This one is inspired by I-copic challenge.  I used the following copic colours on the Penny black christmas critter stamp -  R29, 0, BG10, E00, E50,. RV23, Yo2, YG06.  I used R29 and 0 on the baubles then clear embossed them, they look bumpy on the photo but they arent.

Most SPECIAL Card EVER

Why would that be you ask. Well I love to draw, and I have done many drawings, amatuer animations, characters etc over the years.  And I love Stamping, coloring and card making, so today I put it all together.  I hope you like my First digi that I drew myself.  I hope to be able to improve the quality and post some freebies to start off soon.  Does anyone like my ducki?? Are there any name suggestions, the kids like squeaky or woddles (spelt different to the plush toy). I like Clyde or Charlie (after a sweet lil boy I know).  I am very keen to hear if there is any interest in my style of drawing for digi stamps, I will upload a couple more cards in the next day or two.
Hope you all come back and check them out.  Chelle 

UPDATE: go to here and get your  Digi Freebie I have one vote for naming him sqeaky any other votes??

I was inspired by a few challenges that I combined to great this card, it is for one of two upcoming birthdays, I can't make up my mind weather it suits an 18 year old girl or a 40 year old woman.  I hope my home made flowers count, I really do need to look for a tutorial on these flowers I am sure that there is a way to make them with less glue.

Hope you like.

First Card to put in a challenge

I have done this card to go into my first ever challenge, Pink (Totally Gorjuss).  I am not completely happy with it. I think it was the pressure, I just couldnt think.  Normally I would knocked up a pink card with alot less worry. 

 Challenge entered:- Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 52 - Pink

Card Making

This is my therapy.  I found paper craft to be forgiving and understanding.  It knows when I need to just quielty use it to adjust my mood, when I want to be exciting or just plain cute.  I thought by making a blog and mabey entering a few challenges I can improve and enhance my skills.  I have finally ordered my first copics selection and am very keen to receive it soon.  

Here are some cute cards.  Lurve Penny Black.

Painting

MMM Where am I with my painting.  I think I take it all too seriously and been reverting back to simple colour designs to loosen up. The one above is one of my older paintings that I was very fond of.   It is on the wall of an elderley aunt. 

First Entry

Ok, I have been going to do this for a while.  Now I have finaly created a blog I dont know what to do with it.  Well I will go and make a card while I think about it.  I want to enter a challenge so I will start with that.
