Bubbles

Well I've manage a cart today, duly due to the fact I lost my electric, we all lost it - heaven know why although we had the lost horrendous thunderstorms during the night - I have never heard thunder so loud - it  kept me awake - even the cat was  scared and try to climb into the bed!!!      

This card is for Copic Marker Euro Blog and Sketch Saturday.
It is, of course Krista and called Bubbles, she is coloured with Copics.
The papers are Nature Garden stack from Prima.
I have used Stacking Stars from Die-namics but couldn't resist adding a few flowers added with their stars.

I hope I shall have a peaceful nights sleep and no more electricity failures and that you all have a brilliant weekend.

Simon Says.....Let's Get Fruity !!

I hope you enjoyed for fabulous creating tags and ATC' last weed and  now for Simon Says Stamp this week's challenge we would like to get you a little 'Fruity'

The image is House Mouse by  Berried and they are coloured by Copics and I used the Papers for Basic Grey .
Because the papers are quite dark I use to leave a larger border a used it simple with using my favourite tool
the Martha Stewart Scoring Board.
Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles I have used parially around the image for accent and used a computer sentiment, added a little ribbon and added a  flower from Magnolia Gardenias 
Ribbon 

I have used a Glue Glider Pro which I have had for 'yonks' I just regularly stock up from refills - it has been brilliant - another of my farourite!!

      

      

As always Heidi will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

Everybody Art Challenge

Here it is another Everybody Art Challenge and this challenge will be the last one for the summer bread.

I adore this image from Stamps Happen Rubber Stamp COLLECTING SEA SHELLS
I stamped a few images when I received the stamp initially - one was in pink, one in Kraft paper blue and this one here I intended to use white.    I did the pink and blue but chickened out of white  -  it isn't the easiest colour (or should I say 'lack' of colour) Eventually I've given it ago - I think I will try it again at white and Kraft.!!!!

Happen Rubber Stamp COLLECTING SEA SHELLS is coloured with Copic with stand

For my paper I have used Prima's Nature Garden along with Bazzill Basics for use the Memory Box Cherry Blossom and Fancy Blossoms for creating the flowers which I used wrap around the Magnolia Swirl. A Ribbon & Net Crinolinel, Doilie s and Lace - not forgetting a couple of shells.

House Mouse Mid Way challange

This is the mid way between your  House Mouse & Friends challenge which is the theme is  'Let's get Fruity' and by our Teakie Paula.

The image is called 'A Fruitful Day' - and coloured it with Copics

I love some of these huge images - there is no room for anything else!!! I did just about to add the 

Basic Grey Plumeria and I added two 

Spellbinders used a tag and the Cuttlebug Vintage corner. I finished it with a voile bow and  charm .

Basic Grey's having 'sun in the fun'

Thanks to everyone who entered our Favourite Colour Combo Challenge at Basic Grey It's time for our new challenge. We know its going to be very hard at the moment to imagine but we want you to have "FUN IN THE SUN" !!

             

This was a huge rush for this post as like an idiof I used the wrong challenge Derrrrrrrrrr!!!  

I've chosen Edwin and Tilda  having fun at the beach I coloured them with Copics but I'm not happy with Edwin's colour - It was so humid yesterday and I find that the blues don't behave well when it is - I should have stock with Polychromos!!!

I use 'Aged and Cunfused - Phresh and Phunky'  From Basic Grey .

The flowers are selection and woven into a Magnalia's swirl and their leaves. The is used at the bottom and a Memory Box die and the top.

I found my little box of shells which appeared when my craft room was re-furbished and redecorated. I will add my 'liks' when I little more time.

Everybody Art Challenge

Ooooops!!! The Day started without me to day.
I overslept  -  I doesn't  happen very often but I will probably get the rest of the day to get my act together.

Sell to start - this week it is Everybody Art Challenge  and we want Spots and Dots this week

I chose one of Krista's delightful  imge and coloured her with  Polychromos and Prismacolor pencils. The burder of the image is stamped with Stempelglede.

I had a root around I found these perfect matching -  I did the wrong way round and colourid the image before choosing the papers LUCKY!!!.

The flowers are Prismas and the Creatables with the 'leaves'

I added a charm and a couble of pearls with the ribbon.

This is very quick as I try and catch up with the world.
