Cute Baby Fairy!

Evening! How's your week going so far? It's turned super cold here in London again but I've finally managed to get my winter coat that I've been searching for since Christmas! Every time I found one I liked, it had either sold out or they didn't have it in my size, so I'm so happy I've finally got one - and it's sooooo lovely and cosy, now I'm 'snug as a bug in a rug' LOL!!
Here's a card I made a week or so ago using a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday but I'm only just getting round to posting it.....

I love this image, so adorable and I've watercoloured it with Distress Inks. All the papers and Chipboard flowers/sentiment, etc are from Imaginisce 'All Kinds of Happy' with a few embellies from my stash and that's about it!
I'm entering my card over at The Sugar Bowl, who from now on are running a monthly 'Anything Goes' challenge.
BTW - in case you've just noticed my Sunday Sketch and Stamp post has just magically appeared, it's cos I'd left it scheduled but hadn't realised it wasn't live until I went to post this one, doh!!
Right, I'm off to get Sam's dinner out the oven and then I'll be hopping round to see you. Stay warm (if it's cold where you are obvs!)....................xx

In the Pink

Morning! There's a new challenge starting today over at Sunday Sketch and Stamp and this week, it's a great sketch by Francesca - here's my card (and if you don't like pink, look away now LOL!)

Ingredients:

Image - Magnolia Tilda watercoloured with Distress Inks.

Papers - Magnolia and DCWV cardstock.

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts.

Sentiment - Craftwork Cards.

Other - Rub-on Lettering from DCWV, Crafts Too Hearts Embossing Folder, Pearl Hearts from My Crafty Heart, WRMK Distressing Tool and Gems from stash.

What do you think of my watercolouring with Distress Inks? I've been practising, so expect to see more images coloured this way - I actually love sitting colouring in this way, I find it really relaxing but it takes such a long time - or it does me anyway!! I've coloured Tilda with one of my newest coloured 'Picked Raspberry' and think it's lush!!

I'm also going to enter my card into the following challenges:

• In the Pink - Challenge #12 Distressed.
• Crafty Calendar - Love and Marriage.
• 2 Sisters Challenge - Challenge #129 White and Red and/or Pink.
• Creative Corner - Challenge 5 Love and Hearts.

Tilda with a Candy Cone

Evening everyone. Another Christmas card to share with you - I'm really on a roll now, eh?! And I'm getting back into this blogging lark! Woohoo, is good to be back among friends!

Don't look too closely at my colouring! This is one of the images that I coloured for last Christmas but then didn't get round to using on a card and when I was going through them the other week, this one was one of the more passable ones but certainly nothing to write home about ;-)
