Winter Lullaby from Aurora Wings

Hiya, isn't it great to get back into a routine, or is it just me? I like to know what I'm doing and when, so it was lovely to get this gorgeous image from Mitzi at Aurora Wings. I loved colouring Winter Lullaby it's a bit looser than a lot of Mitzi's images. I you want to see what the rest of my teamies did with it pop across HERE . It still amazes me how different all the finished projects are from the same image.

I coloured her with copics, used DCWV papers, orange bazill cardstock, corner punch, Marrianne swirl die, Sue Wilson Cammelia flowers and outlines, orange gems and some ribbon from my stash.

I coloured the backgound with E77 then layed a diamond stencil over the top and coloured the diamonds with the copic blender. I was itching to use my new stencil so this seemed the perfect project.

Something New

Hi there, well I seem to be getting back into some sort of a routine, that Christmas flu bug certainly took some getting rid off, I must admit it has left me with a tickly cough, so annoying at 3am.

I also started back at the slimming club, wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be so had to go shopping and get my fruit and veg in, yummy , not.

A friends son and his partner have just had a baby boy, very unexpected only 29 weeks pregnant, so fingers crossed things continue to improve, he only weighed 3lb at birth then lost a bit, but I believe he has regained his weight now.

I got this tiny bow die for Christmas so thought I would try it out, it's a Sue Wilson die and I must say I love it, much prefer it to the larger one.

I used blue bazill cardstock, DCWV paper, mo's digital pencil image called Happy that I coloured with copics, spellbinders scallop circle, clear gems and a congratulations stamp.

Hi there, so sorry I've been such a bad blogger, life has been a bit crazy at the moment, haven't had time for much, I had made quite a few cards for the shop but I just didn't get to post them here.

This was one of my faves it's an image from Make it Crafty that I coloured with copics, papers are Echo  theres a bit of jute webbing behind the image and a couple of bells tied together with twine in one corner and a ticket I made from a Whimsy stamp and die set .

I lost the bit of paper with my copic list on, this  is something I started to do, but forgot to write on the scrap of paper which image they are for.

I might post a few more of my cards if I get chance, but I should imagine everyones Christmassed out by now.

Mo's Christmas

Hi there, I hope your all having a nice weekend with a bit of you time thrown in, we are having gorgeous weather here, it really is like the middle of summer, so what better way to cool down than make a Christmas card.

I felt I needed to reward myself since I managed to demolish one of my ironing piles, two more to go, and one that I keep hiding because it's clothes I don't like to iron. Do you do that, have clothes that are always last to get done because they are a pain to iron.

Anyway what better reward than an image from Mo's digital pencil. I colourd her with copics,

used Dovecraft papers. Robert Adams snowflake die, WOC flower ribbon, I really love this ribbon but didn't realise the net would melt when I heated my Frantage powder up, but I really love the effect it has left. birdcage die and flat back pearls, oh nearly forgot I distressed the edges with my scissors and a bit of distress ink, gathered twigs I think,
