Sweet Sketch and Dilly Beans

This fortnight we are using the quirky images from Megan Suarez at Dilly Beans along with another great sketch from Kathie.

I am using Penny and Fox Framed. I have coloured her with Copics although somehow I managed to colour the hair the same colour as my skin so had to darken the hair. I think it worked.

I have used some papers from Craftwork Cards and some dotty organza ribbon. I have had the ribbon slide for ages and it went well with the papers so that was a bonus.

It would be great if you could play along with us this fortnight.

Thank you for taking time to visit me.

Catching up with pretty things

I am sharing 2 cards today. They are my DT cards for Pennys Paper Crafty Challenge for the last 2 weeks. Above is my card for 349 using an image from our sponsors Sparkle n Sprinkle. It's precoloured so great for making a quick card. Papers are LOTV Nitwits which are now retired. Sentiment is from a Craftwork Cards Julie Loves kit and pearls are Dreamees I think.

My next card is for the current challenge - no 350.

I coloured this one in just after my Copic Class the other week. Papers are LOTV/Nitwits again and the dies are Marianne Designs, pearls are Dreamees and Hobby House.

Thank you for visiting and for any comments you are kind enough to leave.

Sweet and petite

Here's a card I made for one of my closest friends using the Julie Loves Sweet and Petite Collection from Craftwork Cards. The card blank is from Whichcraft and I have used a variety of dies from Marianne, Sweet Dixie and My Favourite Things.
