Up, up and away!

I've used anther of my older LOTV image, I love this one - perfect for some the stroppy teen or young girls!!! I've masked and added two more parcels for the stroppy little cute girl.  I've coloured the image with the usual  Copic Markers and added  Rangers Stardust Stickles to net skirt and tiara. Simon Says Cardstock is Lipstick Red and the sentiments are Tim Holtz Just Sayings and Simon Says Stamp Be sentiments.

LIM...........Up, Up and Away !!

The Less is More challenge this week is ........

Up, up and away!

I was so late last week I thought I had better be soon this week and here it is!!

I've used one of my older LOTV image, I have another one I will use - time permitting!!

This one is coloured with Copic Markers with her wings with Stardust Stickles and the Dandelion scattered seeds, the full seed is coloured with Stampendous Fun Flock Cotton Wool White.  I drew some extra seed - on reflection I should have added another!!

Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue is layered the image and a sentiment by Hero Arts.

LIM...................One Layer including Splatters !!

The Less is More challenge this week is ........

One Layer Card 

and we would like you to include

Splatters

I have just about in time to enter this challenge, although looking at it I don't know why I bothered.  I've had a strange week - what am I talking about - I've had a strange life!!! This week has just about a little stranger than usual.

I normally love the One Layer Card challenge and I also love splattering but most of my splattering this week have ended up the bin, the walls and the cat!!! I tried play around with Brusho, hmmm - lots of practice needed. 

I used to warercolouring the stamp - I couldn't find one the right size, if  I'd stop messing about I would have enough time drawn my own!!!

The image is an older one from Hero Arts coloured with Distress Inksand the sentiment is Sending & Wishing.

Simon Says...............Male Your Own Background !!

We are showcasing MY FAVORITE THINGS PRODUCTS this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

This week we are showcasing MY FAVORITE THINGS PRODUCTS - I have many MFT products but at the moment my favourite is the Stitched Fishtail Layers Flags. I use these all the time, in case you hadn't noticed!! I cut one on the vellum but tucked it over at the top but then added the very small one with the sentiment flag. 

I have created my own background using Impression Obsession Cling Stamp Crackle, heat embossed with Simon Says Stamp White Embossing Posder and then coloured with Loew-Cornell Water Colored Paints.

The image is Penny Black Thanks a Bunch which were coloured with Copic Markers. I left the card pretty much un-embellished so I could leave the background on show!!
