Lots of Challenges



Hi everyone. Very quick post as I'm very tired tonight and have had a bad headache since about 3pm so, I am off to bed straight after this - too many late nights blog hopping.

Made this last night for my sisters birthday - hope she doesn't look till after it or I'll need to make another one, lol.



Ingredients:
Image: Tilda (don't know her name, lol);
Medium: Watercolour pencils;
Design Paper: Karen Neuburger (had it forever, lol);
Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts (coloured with Promarkers);
Other Stuff: Pearls and cardstock from stash, stickles.

I added frosted lace stickles to her hair and cheeks to give it a bit of sparkle and some pink to the wee dots on her dressand to the buckle on her shoes. Used purple, green and pink for the flowers in the basket.

Challenges:
Sketch Saturday: Fab Sketch;
Just Magnolia: Anything Goes;
One Stitch at a Time: Flowers;
Creative Card Crew: April Showers Bring May Flowers;
Our Creative Corner: Blooming Blossoms.

Well, that's it for tonight - at least, I hope it is - not sure my brain is working properly as I am so tired. Thanks for stopping by

Hugs

Lilac and Lemon

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well. A very quick post from me this evening as I am off upstairs to attempt to clean out Wee Stevens toys!  May not be back for a while,lol.
I saw this on the Whiff of Joy Tutorial Blog the other day and I knew that I had to make one for my daughter Kim.  They are just so gorgeous and will just add a wee bit more love to a special gift.




I have used an older Magnolia image, Tilda with Chicks, and coloured her with Promarkers (still practising).  The plain lemon papers is an older one from my stash (don't know the name - possibly a baby boy pack my sister bought for me when Jack was younger).  The flowery glitter one is from Doodlebug.  The lilac card is from my stash.  I have used my new MS Heart Border punch on the flap of the bag and also along the glitter paper on the back. I have left this part on the back unstuck (is that a word, lol) so that I can add a wee gift tag or card if I want to. Thr ribbon is from my stash and I pinched one of my mums new brads from the Hobby House (must invest in some of these).

I can enter this into the following challenges:

1.  Cards and Things - Sketch (turned it upside down)
2.  Papertake Weekly - Lilac and Lemon
3.  A Spoonful of Sugar - Easter
4.  Charisma Cardz - Something for the Kids
5.  The Secret Crafter - Anything goes
6.  The Pink Elephant - Spring

Off to make a start on the pigsty now. Thanks for taking the time to look and please leave me a comment if you have the time.  I love to read what you think and also I love to return the visit

Hugs
