Hush Little Baby

Morning All, where has the sun gone, really dull and dingy here this morning. At the weekend I bought myself a Nutribullet to make smoothies as I wasn't eating enough fresh fruit & veg, I have been having one smoothie a day since Sunday and I must admit I feel a lot brighter, the thought of adding spinach & carrots to fruit didn't seem very appertising but you don't taste them at all.

Today we have another of my Baby Stamps from Lili of The Valley - Balloon Basket.

I must try to find another combination of Pink Copics, I use these 4 colours every time I colour with Pink.

Feeling A Tad Grumpy Today

Morning Peeps, before I start I must tell you its not me who is grumpy its the little fairy who is throwing a strop. This is a Digital Image from Paper Shelter - A Little Bit Grumpy, she reminds me of Lucy when things don't go her way, I bet you all know a little girl like that. The sentiment is a wooden Stamp I bought ages ago and I'm not sure where I got it from, I have a few more like this with really brilliant kids saying.

As you can see this weeks obsession is coloured hair, might try Aqua next. Have managed to use a few more of my enormous stash of Magnolia Papers

Copics were used again to colour her with a touch of Polychromos pencils here and there, think I am getting the hang of Copics again, I must admit I nearly threw in the towel when I first started but glad I persevered.

Lots of embellies and a couple of dies used, I also tucked some, pink tulle, that I found in my ribbon box, behind the image. The Butterflies and sentiment were edged with Green Copic pen using the chisel end.

Rowan Fairy

Hello Peeps, Hope you are all having a good weekend. Another Whimsy Wee Stamp today this one is Rowan Fairy, I don't know what has happened with the colours on this photo, her hair and the papers are much more of a pinky mauve than they appear here.

Once again I have used papers from Nitwits Collections this one is called Lilac Blossom. I fancied giving her colourful hair and am quite pleased with the results, its a bit out of my comfort zone.

Rowan has been coloured with Copics colours below, and I sprinkled Frantage over the image, and used lots of flowers. I love the Little Melissa Frances Picture Frames that are available from Live & Love Crafts, its has been used to frame a sentiment from Lili of the Valley Set 100 Teenage Girl Sentiment Stamps, which fits the frame beautifully.
