Hi All

I have used the adorable Elf Nose Surprise and coloured my image with Copic Markers.

We had to add a number to our card this week and my Neices 5th Birthday is on Christmas Day, so I made this card for her, her favourite colour is purple.

I used papers and stickers from my stash to complete my card.

Lilly the White Queen

Today's DT card for Moondrea Designs is using the image Lilly the White Queen.

You can find her Here.

My image is mostly coloured with Copics, but I was struggling with the hair on this image, so did an underlay of C3 Copic and then went over with Prisma Pencils in blue, purple, black and pink.

Not sure I am happy with the hair, for some reason I just could not get it how I imagined it to look.

I kept to a simple palette of Purple and Orange and  rose embossed some card for the background and added flowers and butterflies from my stash.

TPS - Back to the Books

Over at the Paper Shelter our  summer break is over and I am gearing up for my Son to go back to School.

Appropriately, this week's theme is back to the books and I have used the image  Bookworm Fairy.

To colour her up I followed one of my old tutorials from Kit & Clowder, she is coloured using Copic Markers.

I kept the card simple as there is a lot of detail in the image, the background was all hand drawn following the turtorial, I think it adds a lovely element to the image, but the colouring did take a good couple of hours.
