Even dinosaurs like cake!

Hello there, today I have an adorable dinosaur who is celebrating his birthday - stamped on white card with Memento Angel Pink ink for that soft, hand drawn look and enhanced with coloured pencils.

As you can see I have opted for a very simple layout on this card, allowing the image to be the focal point!

Now, some of you may be aware I am married to a farmer so this time of year is manic in our house - and the boys keep me busy with piles of laundry, as well as prepping, cooking and delivering meals to a bunch of hungry farmers out in the fields......... therefore I suspect these gingies are going to stay like this for a while as, sadly all crafting has had to be suspended.   Fingers crossed, we get a good period of uninterrupted sunshine and Peter can get through the combining as soon as possible.

Happy Crafting everyone

(Here's hoping I get to do some soon.....I have a 21st Birthday card I desperately need to make!)

Yes, I know it's only July!

Well hello everyone, how are you? Harvest has started, so it is a bit of a madhouse around here! May have something to do with why I chose to colour snowmen in July!

Now, as I've mentioned recently, I treated myself to some new "toys" and today I thought I would share with you all the first cards I have made using them.

Firstly, here are a couple of snowmen coloured with Caran D'Ache Luminance pencils on Neenah Desert Storm by Crafters Companion, this was a pleasure to use and great as a pale Kraft card.

Hopefully you can see the sparkle on NOEL.  I used Wink of Stella Clear, which also gets a big thumbs up from me!

I enjoyed colouring this image so much I thought I would use it again with my new Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens......have you tried these?  They blend with each other, water, a Dove Blender and even Wink of Stella Clear - how cool is that!  For my first attempt I used them with a water brush and their fine real brush tip makes them perfect for working with detailed stamps.

Apologies in advance, I know you love colour lists, but this was my first time using these pens and I got so carried away I completely forgot to take note of the colours, sorry.
