Friends Brighten Your Day

Evening! I know I'm really posting at strange times at the moment - its as and when I get time to sit down and post! Hope your all well!! 

Im here tonight tonight with a very very exciting post… well it is for me - I'm about to share with you my very first official project as a member of the Make it Crafty Facebook Team -eeeeek! I know I'm rather excited! Im so honoured to be a part of this team - everyone is so amazing and I think I'm making some pretty good friends out of it all :)

So I'm here to share with you today my creation I have made for the sketch we have going on over on the Make it Crafty Facebook Page 

Now sometimes I get along with sketches, sometimes I don't… well it turns out I think I smashed this one!  I know I will be using the layout again as I have a few ideas running through my head!!!

So over to my creation.  I have used the absolutely gorgeous Melody with Cushion (although I never added the cushion!) available here from the store.

The sentiment is from a Kraftin Kimmie stamp set I purchased from e-bay a while ago.  I just felt the words went well with the image - I stamped it onto my white card stock using Memento and then cut the words down - matted and layered onto the coloured card stock that I used on base of the card! The scalloped border is cut using my MS border punch.

It worked well with the bright colours as well - The backing looks more yellow but it does have an orange twinge in it! 

the image itself was coloured with copics;

Skin

Y23, YR61, E11, E13

Hair

E31, E33, E35

Clothes and Boots

YR31, YR23, E33

BG72, BG78

E33, E35

I took most of this combo from a little challenge that was over on the MIC Facebook page a little while back - that was to use the MIC colours for a image (thanks to Janice for the Skin tone and Faye for the clothes combo) I think she turned out pretty cute! 

Well I do hope you like her - I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Well I really hope that you will join us over at the Make it Crafty Facebook Page even if its just to say hello - its such a fab chatty bunch over there - I for one would LOVE to see you there - if you have a moment it would be lovely to hear what you think of my creation! 

Hope to see you again soon
