Hello Bloggers,
I have been a bad blogger recently, haven't I? Lots of things going on though, the childminding course is well under way, and I have also started my paediatric first aid course. I have also found out that I can get started with the registration process now, rather than waiting until the end of the course....so it definitely all systems go now!
Jamie has big plans for fencing off the garden and I want to get a few paint jobs around the house done, and then it's onto buying toys and stuff for the little ones to play with!! It's all very exciting!
Anyway, onto my card for today....
This card is for my mum's birthday...which is tomorrow :)
The image I have used is another Pollycraft - Kiki with cakes and again I have used promarkers....the card I have used isn't too good though, to be honest. I had read that Ryman had some art card that people had found to work well with promarkers....but it's not brilliant. It's OK if you are doing very simple colouring and not layering your colours, but too much ink, and it bleeds over the lines....also it doesn't seem great for seamless colouring either. So this image isn't coloured in the best!
I have used some purple and lilac pearlescent card that I found in my stash. I used a cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, and an X-cut punch for the flowers. I then added a craftwork cards circle sentiment.
The sketch I have followed is from Sketch Saturday.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Sketch Saturday - sketch
- One Stop Craft - for the one I love (I love my mum ;))
- Allsorts Challenge - Free and Easy
- Crafty Cardmakers - Monochrome Magic
Lizy, Keiran and I are off to Hobbycraft tonight, to see Jen in action...she's demoing the Big Shot tonight....and mum has given me some money (early) for my birthday, so let's see what I come back with :)
Thanks for looking xxx
