Gosh this is a huge image and took me ages to colour it!! I don't know what it's called and I can't find it to link up - sorry!!

I've coloured the image with Copic Markers and added the MFT  Flormal Flourish at the top of the page and added one of the Sea Charms Die with Hemptique White Twine. I've added some little seashells along the bottom of the page which doesn't show very well.

Right - I'm back on-line trying to find out why I can't open my washing machine - the message says the 'Child Lock' is engaged - can I unlock it NO and all my sheets and pillow cases are stuck in there.........perhaps I need a Child to help!!!

Simon Says.........Inspiration Colour Switch!!

Welcome on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

INSPIRATION COLOR SWATCH

Isn't this 'Sweet Treats' Color Combination lovely !  Thank you Jenn for creating this awesome color swatch, those cupcakes sure do look yummy !

We are showcasing our very own SIMON http://www.simonsaystamp.com/SAYS STAMP EXCLUSIVE 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

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

Our theme this week is a 'Sweet Treats' Color Combination so obviously I use the Simon Says Stamp Card stock Sweet Treats and endeavored to use all of the colours so it is a more colourful used card than I usual create.

I chose a Wild Rose Sutdio which I thought would have the colour suiting the theme. This image is out of stock at the moment but Simon Says Stamp have plenty of fabulous Wild Rose Studio stamps, papers and dies in stock.

As showcasing out own Simon Says Excursive Products I have l used the Cling Rubber Stamp Falling Hearts, Simon Says Die Fresh Daisies Die, Small Folded Banner & Large Holiday Shape Die.

Everybody Art Challenge...........Wedding!!!

Our challenge this week at Everybody Art Challenge is.....

WEDDING

I love this Saturated Canary image - Marry Me and was a delight to colour her.

I do find colouring white is more difficult other colours but I do enjoy trying. I added quite a lot of embellishment which is fun but do have to be careful not to overload and still leave the image the prime focus.

This is the result -  I do like but need to change the sentiment!!

I kept image fairly clean as my embellishing MoJo has got lost - if anyone finds it would they please send it back to me - I NEED IT!!!

I've had this image for almost 2years and coloured it up the the first time - it was a dream to colour. I had a 'Cool Dude'  I wanted to use but it was not suitable so I used a Kelly Purkey sticker - it was pale turquoise and coloured it with Copics.
