Thank you


Good day

I took a break from my household chores. I just had to use the sketch and my time is running out. I had a few options but the came the Outlawz new colour challenge and the have this beautiful inspirational picture and I had to steal time somewhere. I now it says no green but the pale yellow did not looked that good with the purple and blue. I used different dies from Marianne's Design. Sentiment is a stamp from The Purple Magnolia. Since I like to add different layers to my project.

Challenges I took inspiration from:

The Outlawz Colour challenge 26 February
The Outlawz Festive Fridays 22 February to 8 March - Anything goes
As you like it challenge - Layers or not - I just love layers!

Thank you  and hope you have a bright and cheery day!

Good day

As mentioned in a previous post I had a little time to finish some of my projects on my table this week. This is an image from Bugaboo and I actually intended to finish it in the beginning of February fro their Birthday bash, but then life happened. I coloured the image with my Prisma pencils. I used papers from my stash that just fitted the image. Sentiment computer generated. I do have a few 16 years birthdays on hand soon.

Share some hearts


Good day

We had rain for a few days now and also loadshedding and with that there was a breakdown at one of the substations, so we did not had electricity for 18 hours. A lot of time to play. This cutie was a freebie from Aurora wings on Facebook called Valentine Sprite. In a sense I did not feel like making a Valentines card with it, so it can be a girly birthday too. I used papers from Marianne's design's Sweet romance and Journaling notecards from Prima marketing. Coloured the image with my Prisma pencils and added some glitter and pearls to the flowers as finishing touch.

I'm playing along in the following challenges:
Crafty Cardmakers #227 - Love
The Outlawz Twisted Thursday 14-27 February - Say it with Flowers
Tuesday Throwdown #425 - Falling Hearts
Moving along with times #91 - Shabby Chic

You add extra colour



Good day

It is the month of February and there is a lightness in the air with all the hearts all around us. I believe it brings mix emotions to everybody since not all of us are excited about this time of  the year, but in the end it is about giving love to other people. I was sponsored by QKR Stampede with this art palette image this round at Creative Moments. We always have an Anything Goes theme, but we added a twist of romance this time. I used my Nellie Snellen Heart dies and papers from W&M. Colour the image with Prisma pencils and added some glitter to brighten the "paint".

Challenges I took inspiration from:
Tuesday Morning Sketches#489
Double D - Month of hearts
Unicorn #40 - Include a heart
Allsorts #505 - Love
The Outlawz Twisted Thursday 31 Jan - 13 Feb - Dies and punches
