Just a quick post and to show you 2 tags I made. I have coloured both with copics and then coloured the background of the tags with memento ink in different colours. Not really sure why I made these or what I am going to do with them but I had fun lol.

Well I must go I have work today and then a class to teach tomorrow, really looking forward to it because a I know a lot of the ladies and they are a fab bunch.

Coffee ?

 

Over on the Sugar Bowl challenge blog is a sketch this week with a optional theme of Spring. I have used this fab stamp that I got a little while ago called 'Luv a Latte' and I do love a latte.

The papers are stamping up papers that I got when I hosted a party and I loved the rich colour.

I have gone quite simple with the card and no flowers to be seen.

Copic colours are

Hair C2, C5, C7, C9

Face E000, E00, E11, R20

boots C00, C1, C3, C5, C7 ,C9

Stool and cup E50, E51, E53

A spot of cooking

On Friday sketchers the sketch this week is quite a lot of layers but gave me a chance to use my new papers and was fun to do.

I have used one of the new Molly Blooms stamps and coloured with copics which I have listed at the bottom of the post.

I also coloured the pearls with copics so they matched in with my card, I have been doing this a lot lately

so now only buy plain pearls and just colour them.

The papers I have used are My Minds eye and scribble scrabble and the background cooking stamp is a favourite by great impressions.

All my stash came from Sir Stampalot because they keep getting so much gorgeous new stuff in, boy is it hard working in a craft shop lol.

 

Copics I have used are

Face E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair E37, E35

Blouse R12, R14, R17

Trousers E31, E35, E37

Shoes E25, E27, E29

Apron and hat E50, E51, E53

Tilda with Hawaiin flower in her hair

When I first saw this Tilda I just loved it but it's taken me a while to get round to making a card with her.

I have used acetate for this card

or as my hubby put it are' you messing about with plastic on your cards now'.

I folded a base card from the acetate then just made a top and bottom out of card punched with a Martha Stewart border punched.

The butterflies are punched from a Martha Stewart punch also.

I have listed the copics I used at the bottom of the  next picture.

Molly Blooms with love

Just thought I would pop this card on that I made for Sir Stampalot with the new

Molly Bloom stamps that are totally gorgeous.

I have used copics to colour with and did a bit of masking to put Molly on the boxes.

The sun is shining here today and I need to start getting ready for work soon, I had to have a day off at the start of the week due to my darling middle child sharing his sickie bug with me,

I do hate sick bugs but keeping fingers crossed no one else gets it.

Different for me

Well I have been having a play with some Tim Holtz dies and no colouring

This makes a big change for me no copics lol.

I have made the flowers and also got out my sewing machine and whizzed around bits with it.

Do you think it is ok because I just plodded on and was not sure where I was going with it.

I have used the following on my card

Tattered florals bigz die

Sewing room bigz die

Martha Stewart round the page punch

ribbon and lace

Tim Holtz tickets

Heart nestabilities

On the farm

I have had a chance to play this week with the new Molly Bloom stamps that will be available very soon from Sir Stampalot and they are totally gorgeous. The stamps are designed by Clare and her blog is Here. I have made a step card and used a large die to create the back panel, all the images are coloured with copics and the fence was covered with glossy accents. George is sat on a hay bale but you cannot see that in the first photo, the new collection as some great characters in it and some animals also. 

Welcome Spring

This week on Penny Black at Allsorts the theme is 'Welcome Spring'

and I am so ready for Spring.

I have used this cute rabbit stamp for my card that my friend Ann kindly lent me

and coloured with copics.

The papers are Stampin up and so is the sentiment.

Thankyou for visiting
