CLEAN & SIMPLE!!!

so please no fussy and fancy creations this week :-)

I dept as Clean and Simple  ad I could - I am getting better at this I think but I still couldn't resist adding some pearls as I still felt they looked  bare - I wish I had though. 

I have used the Martha Stewart Scoring Board to create a grid - that leaves me CAS with being to bare.

I have chosen La-La Land's  Dress Up Marci and used her with my favourite Copics and cut her out with Spellbinders Circles Pearls where I coupled resist the OpalinPearls

 I chose Basic Grey  Our of Print and used to the same paper to give Marci with a new hat from a  Memory Box Fancy Blossoms .

                    

Everybody Art Challenge - Blue and Purple

It's a new challenge at the Everybody-Art-Challenge and this week we would like to see you Purple and Blue.

The paper were My Mind's Eye - A Beautiful Life  -  purple and blue - perfect 

My image is Magnolia's Tilda's Heart Flowers and also their Doohickey are Swirl and Leaf.

 I use the Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame which was the perfect size for the image. I and  Fancy Tags and a couple of the Memory Box Fancy Blossoms.  I added a few pearls wish look fabulous in real life but don't shown in the photograph - in fact the whole photograph is 'rubbish' even though several attempt's  of success - now I have surrendered.

The image is House Mouse's Jelly Bean Heist and coloured the 'beans' with much  more depth of colours than I anticipated.  

I have chosen  Our of Print from Basic grey and added a Memory Box Sabibel border.

A couple of Magnolia's Hookickey Swirl and Leaf and  Magnolia flowers amongst others had finished it.

                

Everybody Art Challenge

The Everybody Art Challenge  is rounds again, I so wish it would slow down!!!

This week our challenge this week is "Baby" 

My   choice for image called Happy Hopper -  Sleepy Head and used Copis for them - and guess what I have remembered to list them - a pat on the back for me!!!

 The papers are First Ediction called "Up, Up and Away".

Magholia Doohick  Swirly Lace border and Leaf and Swirl.

The lace and flowers are Wild Orchid crafts.

Here are my list of Copics, I have used a  couple of the older instead for the new copics(naughty!!!)

Not many different colours on this one. 

Different  colours of Hair/Fur or Human are different shades in one head so I do send to add some shades.

The E00 and E02 and R20 are usually used for animals paler flesh.

I hope that uses some or the questions asked - just asked further if you like.

Sorry Chrissie and Mandi,  I hope it isn't too much of a shock!!
