Flowery Christmas

I hope you've had a good weekend plus an extra hour if you live in the UK, I must admit I was a lazy moo and had an extra lay in bed this morning, weve had such a busy week I was really in need of one.

The weather has been gorgeous here, very mild and no wind, I see on the news there is bad snow in America! It's also my Dads Birthday so even more fun, yes a really good weekend for me.

I've used another Saturated Canary Digi. I truly do love these, coloured with copics, DCWV papers, Martha border punch, nesties,heart pearls, lace and assorted flowers from my stash sprayed with shimmer.

Friday Sketch Challenge

How exciting, today is the launch of the very first Friday Sketch Challenge yay!! we have a fantastic first sponsor with Make it Crafty donating a  gift voucher, and I do believe Tracey has some candy aswell.This is a fortnightly challenge so you get plenty of time.

So here is your first sketch designed by yours truly, I must say I was quite nervous about designing my first sketch, I knew what I wanted in my head it was just getting on the computer that was hard, but my Hubby came to the rescue and gave me a crash course on drawing in Photoshop.

 I've used one of my favourite digi's Goth Girl with Cat from Spesch Stamps but without the cat of course.

I coloured her with copics, used DCWV papers, ribbon, EK punch, nesties, charm and the flowers I made using a Marianne die.

Heres the inside aswell. Left it blank so it can be used for any occasion.
