Welcome… To the Dark Side

Good Morning! How are you all today? Well I have a little announcement to start this post….. 

I have been chosen to be on the Digi Galore DT! I know… I couldn't believe it! I have been so excited and been so eager to share and now I finally can!

Now I'm sure lots of you know about Digi Galore on Facebook and now the challenge blog - but if not its all about the digs…. nothing but digs! So I should now tell you all about this weeks challenge! We are sponsored by the lovely 

Delicious Doodles

and out theme… well it was WAY out of my box, but I have given it my best shot…. 

GOTH

I was lucky enough to get to work with the lovely Sexy Got Girl.  She is so lovely to colour. 

I used some glitter card stock from my stash.  I die cut the image and also die cut a scalloped circle from the glitter stock.  I also used a doily from my stash and the sentiment was typed on my computer! 

I googled quotes and this was just perfect for my card! 

The image was coloured with copics - I tried to keep it very simple!

BUT

Yes… thats a big but… I had the opportunity to work with another scrum my image 

Im Not Goth - available here - now I have seen her popping up quite a bit in blogland recently… I was so happy when Erin gave me the opportunity to colour her up! 

Ok so yes it was a bit rushed but I'm happier with this one! Well I hope I may have inspired you to join us over at Digi Galore with this challenge, Please pop over and take a look at what the rest of the DT have come up with!

See you again soon!

Well onto my creation for the design team.

As you may know the other day I brought some digi's from Digi Doodle Shop, You have seen my creation with 'All Dressed Up', so it was time for 'Lil Cowboy' to show his 'cheeks' (LOL)!!

The flourishes at the bottom have been stuck by hand I had a template from an embossing folder that i tried to follow, I seem to have a 'thing' for flourishes at the moment! I would like to learn a bit more about how to create the right flourish! But i suppose it will all come in time!

The card base is from a pack of Centura Pearl Card I have hidden in the stash! Its a very pale blue, it almost looks silver in some lights! I must say its hard to use it as its so nice, but I have got to start using the stash up, I have no more space for papers (and I want some new ones)!

The rhinestones are a pastel blue colour. I have mounted the image on some mulberry paper that has been sat there, one mounted I tore the edges!

The image has been coloured with pro-markers, I think i'm getting better with skin tones (any advise welcomed)?!!?

I found my bug! and got a JOB!

Evening all!

Well crafty bug was hiding, but found him now so feeling very happy. Been a very good evening! I know I said I was going to have a no crafting day but the bug just appeared (I haven't asked him where he has been yet, but I will approach that subject later!) and so we had a session! This is what we created...

The card base was created from a 'scrap' of 12x12 I had laying around, The actual card is 6'' by 10'', so I now have to go and make and envelope!

While crafting I have to have the TV on for noise purposes, there was an advert for the new Disney film Tangled, I had said to Mark I wanted to go, the next moment my phone rang and it was a friend of mine asking if Milly and I would like to go to the premier on Sunday! If that wasn't enough she has then offered me a job, I haven't worked since Amelia's 2nd birthday, due to pregnancy ect and so I am now so excited about returning to work! I start on Wednesday, just a few hours a week!

Anyhow, back to my card. This morning I sat her looking around blogland and I came across Digi Doodle Shop, I looked at their children digis and fell in love with this little madam (but I also had to have the little boy they do too!!), I couldn't wait to play with her,

I am slightly annoyed with my-self though, I need to stock up on a few of my pro-markers that are 'running out' so to speak, I went past the shop today and forgot to go in. Her skin tone hasn't come out too well as my 'blush' has run out! But I will get one next time I pass. Her skin tone looks nothing in the photo I am trying so hard to blend my colours for different effects and tones, but I will learn in time!

This is a paper rose I have made from a tutorial I saw over at the Outlaws, I have had to cut the flower shapes by hand from a template as I have no flower punch (I do have one on order now!) It has come out a bit bigger than I wanted it too, but I don't think it looks too bad! Will be glad when my punch comes through so I can Play more!
