Just a Little Love

Hi Peeps,

I'm still trying to catch up and could do with more of these 4 day weeks.

It's challenge time at Crafts and Me for the Rubber girls and the theme is an easy one, "Happy Birthday". I have used the new artist Robin Pushay's image called "Just a little love".

I added some clear microbeads and some blue/green microbeads. I also added some smooch to her scales, but although it gives a shimmer in the light it also dulls the intensity of the colouring, so the depth kind of got lost.

Ingredients:

Using Just a Little Love by Robin Pushay

Scroll and Catalina Border Dies

Cheery Lynn Nautical Die

Hope you'll join us.........

Colouring Long Hair in Fine Detail Hop

Zoe's excited to be releasing another colouring tutorial and it is on a topic that everyone always seems to want to improve... Colouring Hair!! And in particular this e-book is, 'Colouring long hair in fine detail!'

When Zoe was trying to decide on an image that would be perfect for this tutorial she just knew she had to contact the gorgeous Krista Smith from Saturated Canary. And... Excitingly Krista has illustrated and generously donated the perfect character exploding with big luscious hair full of layers and bumps! Just perfect for you to learn all of Zoe's little secrets to colouring finely detailed hair.
We thought it would be fun to have a little hop (and a few give aways of course) where the fabulous MiC girls and Krista have followed Zoe's tips and tricks to colouring long straight hair.

This is my first attempt and nowhere as good as Zoe's, I have to say that I had far more confidence by the time I started the right hand side, but I am going to keep practicing, practicing, practicing.

Have a good weekend.

Open Book

Hi Everyone,

This is another project I have forgotten to post on my blog, Oops again. I don't know if you have seen all the new 3D Chipboard projects that Zoe from Make It Crafty has designed but I am totally in love with them. For this project I have used the Book. It was extremely quick and easy to assemble and just look at the result.

The oval frame and corners are also from Make it Crafty and painted with white acrylic paint.

I have painted the open book with white acrylic paint and decorated using my favourite Pion Design papers.

The image is from Lili of the Valley, such a cute couple.

I have coloured the suit using C5, C3, C1, C0 and the dress using C3, C1, C00

Flowers B95, B93, B91

Leaves YG63, G20

Hair E53, E51, E50

Cheeks R22

I hope you like my project.

Have a good weekend.

I would like to enter my book into the following challenges:-

Crafting All Seasons - Stitching
Divas by design - Anything Goes
My Mum's Craft Shop - Weddings/Anniversary
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes

Little Tilda

Morning Peeps,

I'm back again and with a Christmas Card. I do like to get ahead of the game but seriously it's 32 degrees heat and some snow flakes to cool me down would be a good idea at the moment. I was demoing for Crafts and Me yesterday and it was soooooo hot in the hall. Honestly we moan when we haven't got any sun and when it arrives we moan again, seriously us Brits are never happy, lol.

I know my mind hasn't been on crafting lately and I spent 3 days trying to put this together, which isn't me really. I'm not sure I've done this little Tilda justice, bless her.

Ingredients:-

Copic Markers

My Minds Eye - All is Bright 6 x 6 Paper Pad

Flat Backed Pearls

Classic Couple

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for being MIA, been busy at work and I did do some DT cards but forgot to post them, oops! I hope to get back to normal and will be catching up on all that I have missed.

This is my DT card for Crafts and Me with the challenge of lace. I interpreted this using the new lacy Marianne Designs Anja's Squares. The image is from Crafts and Me called "Classic Couple" by The Stampsmith. Love these black and white images. This card is also doubling up as my Marianne Diva's DT card which is Summer and I know your probably think how does this relate to summer...... well to me Summer is when most people get married and consequently when most people celebrate their anniversary, so da daaaaaaa.
