My latest "thing" is…

..STITCHING! I LOVE stitching on cards but being inherently lazy, I have never had the inclination to drag my sewing maching out from the bottom of my wardrobe. Well last night I had an urge to dust it off so get used to seeing some random higgeldy piggeldy lines appearing on most of my cards for the forseeable future. lol. I tried it out on this card which is for this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge. It was a great sketch to follow and as you can see it’s that girl again. This time her hair has a more “auburn” look to it.

Oh and guess what? My promarkers came this morning! I only ordered them yesterday so that really is service. Thanks for the hints and tips you’ve given me so far and for the article Julie. I have had a play and they are very different to my usual technique. Will have to practice with them a bit I think.

I’ve been a naughty girl!!

I couldn’t hold off any more and have ordered some promarkers from Silly Monkey!! I hummed and hawed for about 2 hours over which ones to go for so in the end opted for Manga sets 1 and 3 and a couple of single ones. I have no idea how to use them but am hoping (hint, hint) that promarker extraordinaire Dawny P might be able to give me a few tips when I get to her card club in a couple of weeks. I didn’t quite make it to the last one because of the snow so am determined that I’ll get to the next one. If anyone else has any useful tips for me in the meantime I’d be most grateful!!

Hugs,

Sundaes on a Tuesday!!


Here’s a couple of cards I’ve done using the gorgeous new download from Pink Petticoat. I love the soft ice-creamy colours – they are so yummy. Actually, I think my sweet tooth is manifesting itself in my crafts – the last few cards I’ve made have all had a kind of “sweet” theme!!
The second card is actually my take on this weeks sketch at A Spoonful of Sugar – great sketch Debbie. I still can’t believe I’m actually on their DT now. I’m still pinching myself!!
I’m entering them at The Pink Elephant challenge which this week is “All that Glitters”. Although it’s tricky to see, the sundaes are covered in glamour dust which is my favourite glitter EVER!
