I've used one of my older images - I love colouring this one  but have to tell you I forgot to pink his cheeks, nose and ears - stupid me!!! I have coloured them now but didn't bother to re-photograph it!!

I've had this piece of paper for ages in my 'bit box', I love it and struggled to let go of it. Now I'm trying to let go of hoarding all these deeply loved papers - this is one, please give me a clap!!!

I listed all the materials used except of course the Papers.

Everybody Art Challenge.......A Circle on the Card!!!

This weeks theme for Everyboday Art Challenge is....

A Circle on the Card

I have used a Elegant Frame from Crealies on which to sit the cute Fairydust Tilda. Tilda is coloured with the usual Copics.  I have also used some of my older Crealies and also made my 'Set of 3' flower dies - this took 40 indiviual dies and shaped them. I don't normally have the patience to do so many but - I made them whilst watching 'I'me a Celebrity - Get We Out of There' and the time flew. Perhaps I should spend the programmer making flowers!!  I have also got my sewing machine sorted out - I used to use them for all/most cards until I met a hitch, happily sorted - happy days!!
