When Betty From The Movies Went Sepia

Evening, how are we all? Well been non stop with school runs today! Nancy loved her 1st day at nursery, I'm dreading Thursday though... think she cottoned on that I snuck off, we will have to wait and see how it all goes! Anyway tonight I have been a busy bee.... I decided that i was going to try and colour in sepia...

And I think I'm part way there - OK so this was the second attempt, my first attempt hasn't been mounted yet, may try to do that later tonight!!  But I'm so impressed with how she turned out.  SHe was coloured using Copics 

E50, E51, E53, E55

The papers are from the Bo Bunny 6x6 Gabrielle Collection, I distressed the edges using my SU distressing tool and then used Tim Holtz Tea Dye around the edges. The flowers were all from my stash and so were the pins.

To say I only used four pens I am so happy with how it all turned out! I hope you like my card as much as I do, I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

Quack Quack, yes I'm learning duck as I feel its only appropriate for this weather, at least if I were a duck I would enjoy this dam rain! I was hoping to take Nancy out today to celebrate the last day before she starts nursery tomorrow but I'm going nowhere in this weather! so I think I will have to try and get crafty and get her involved today! 

Anyway I'm here with a commission on a wedding card, I couldn't believe it when my friend asked me to make another Cadburys purple wedding card just like the one I did a few weeks ago.  I said I would make it but it would be different to her one.  Then I stumped my-self, how was I going to do this on? I had to spend some time searching the internet for sketch ideas as I wanted this to be different... and then I cam across this sketch at Mojo Monday 

It took me a while to think about it as the design looks more 6x4 or 5x7 and I was working on an 8x8... but I did it!

Yes I think I managed to do it - It took me a few hours of moving stuff and thinking but I did It! (Slightly annoyed that i have missed linking this up :( Oh well!) The image is from Mo Manning - I love this one for weddings - so elegant!  The image was coloured using copics, the flourish is from the hobby house and the circular sentiment is from Lili of The Valley. 

Well I hope you like my creation, I would like to enter this card to the following challenges;

You Are A Star

Morning! well it appears so far to be a dry day, so much to do again today, can't believe the kids have been off school for half term, Amelia is in her last term of reception and Nancy starts pre-school on Tuesday - where has time gone? It only seems like yesterday I announced I was pregnant with Nancy let alone shipping her off! 

Anyway after a busy day yesterday I finally sat down and chilled and coloured something other than an order - I have the local village fete next weekend and so needed a few to bulk the box up!

I would like to introduce you to Movie Gala Betty - she so belongs on the red carpet! 

I was so excited the other week when Simply Betty Stamps and Make It Crafty joined up in their 'Guess the Movie' release! I just had to have them all! and so I did... I just then stumped myself on where to start..... It wasn't until I saw over on Simply Challenged Challenges Betty is looking for you to release your inter Betty.. I just had to join in! 

She was coloured using Copics and my black Prisma pencil, Its need so long since I have used pencils and pens together! as all my bits are in the other room I will pop back later to add the details of the pens! 

Skin - E000, E00, E02, R20, R83

Hair - Y21, YR12, YR14, E15, E18

Carpet - R29 R37, R46

The ticket stamps are from Whimsy - I am so in love with their stamps at the moment, LOVE the tickets and circles so very much! 

Well I hope you like what you see! I hope you have a moment to let me know what you think! Before I go I  would like to enter this card to the following challenges;

Morning, oh what a week, the weather has been awful - hence why not much computer or crafting time! then I thought I had a chilled morning only to find that Amelia had ballet... oh well.  Now this is going to be a quick post as we have 101 things to do today and there is not enough hours to get it done - two orders to finish as well as get the stock together for next weekend! 

Last week Amelia and Nancy had a birthday party to go to, I had to make the card pretty quick, all I could think of was camouflage.... And so (I apologise for the photos - they do not show it very well at all!) this came together... 

Yes it was all a bit rushed and as I say the photos make it look rubbish! But i wanted to share him anyway!

He was coloured with copics and the paper was from online somewhere!

I think the best bit was the cheesecloth that I coloured to match the paper, I was pretty impressed with that! 

Anyway I best crack on - hope to have some bits to share later/tomorrow or even next week - See you soon!

Surfs Up!

Afternoon! Ewww what another grey horrible wet day! I can't believe that every time the kids break up for holidays here is rains... Not much we can do with the weather though! Anyway I'm here to share another creation with you! I have been trying to make my cards a bit different and I cam across the lovely Life Guard Christian from Simply Betty Stamps - Now I wasn't sure what to do with him at first and so I decided to purchase the lovely Beach digi from Make It Crafty.  Now I have never tried colouring a whole scene before and so I was very surprised with myself when it turned out like this.... 

Ok so I could do with wokring on the sky and sea a bit, but not bad for a first attempt if I do say so myself! I used so many different colours I can't remember what ones though! 

I love the colours that I used for his top and shorts, i think they may have been BG15, BG13, BG10 - I will double check that one a bit later! 

I used papers form my stash, mail just 12x12's and Kraft.  The ticket stamps are from Whimsy stamps and the charms are just from my stash! I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;
