Colour Texture at Make It Colourful

Hi Peeps,

It's Friday and although it is the start of the weekend I am looking after a supplier from overseas, so the start to my weekend is a little delayed and will probably commence after I drop them back at their hotel sometime late tonight, grrrrrr.

Today at Make It Colourful the challenge is to create texture using your colouring medium.  I have again selected some of the new Winter Objects from Make It Crafty, I so love these elements to create gorgeous scenes for all those winter and Christmas cards.  I Used two of the tree's and the bench and paired up with my mini magnolia.

The picture isn't brilliant as it was late last night and my craft light did it's best, but it just ain't good enough.  I promise I will re-take but as I am entertaining an overseas's supplier I'm sad to say it may be Saturday morning before I get the opportunity. (REVISED - new picture below)

Follow Me

Hi Peeps,

I'm late with my crafts and me post but mainly because it was grim last night when I remembered I hadn't taken my photo so I wanted to wait until I got in from work to retake the photo and then when I was in work I realised I was going to the gymn straight from work and again it would have been too dark when I got home, so I had to rope OH in. I really think a craft lamp would need to be added to my wish list for  Christmas.

The theme today over at Crafts and Me is "Blue".  I have chosen this "Follow Me" by Sweetpea stamps available at Crafts and Me.

Where's Santa

Hiya Peeps,

I have another Christmas card to share with you today.  I have paired up this cute little Where's Santa Bildarmarna Stamp  with Make It Crafty's Digital Winter Objects and Festive Elements.  If you'd like to learn how to mask your rubber stamp with digital images please see my tutorial HERE.

 I coloured with snow using copics of course and then when I had finished the colouring I used the Copic Opaque White with a very small paint brush and added the snow falling.

The wooden ornament Crystals with embossed with an irredescent embossing powder so they twinkle in the light. 

Aren't they just the sweetest and with the additional elements makes for a beautiful scene don't you think. 

Here's the many copics that I used and after I took the photo and returned to my desk I noticed that the C5 and C7 was still on my desk, so they are not in the photo but I definitely used them on the lamp.

Hi Peeps,

I have another Christmas card made with the Whiff of Joy "From Heaven Above" paired with the new Authentique  6 x 6 pad Poised & Warmth. My sister said to me that she couldn't make a christmas card as she didn't have any chistmas papers, so this card is just to show her, "oh yes you can", lol.

Isn't she a little darling.

I'm off to the gymn this morning, my third and final session of the week.  Well until Monday when another week starts.  I'm seeing the results now and enjoying it, it's just difficult trying to fit everything in so I usually do two evenings straight from work and one session at the weekend at my leisure.

Enjoy the weekend.

Sneek Peek

Hiya Peeps,


Gosh hasn't it turned cold this week.  After 29 degrees heat a couple of weeks ago to 2.5 degrees this week it has certainly come as a big shock.  I'm hiding under my duvet whilst hubby is on nightshift.  I can't say I've been in the mood to craft either.  I really could do with someone else doing my housework and cooking to free me up some time, any offers?????

I have another sneek peek to show you today and I believe this one is called "Clematis", from the new artist at Crafts and Me, isn't she beautiful adorned with clematis flowers everywhere.  I haven't quite finished this card really.  I want to add some shading and clouds around her so I will be returning to this card over the weekend but am struggling with my mojo this week.

Ingredients:-

Image "Clematis" Soon to be available from Crafts and Me
Papers by Pion
Heart Doily from Bizzy Becs
Cheesecloth, Gesso & Lace from stash
Marianne D Creatables Leaves LR0192
Marianne D Rose Bunches - Valentine (RB2203)
Sentiment is LOTV

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:-
Flutterby Wednesday - Open
Simon Says Stamp - Fairytale or Nursery Rhyme (Tinkerbell)
Polycraft - girls, girls, girls
Lets ink it up - Think Pink
Emerald Fairies - Flowers, flowers, flowers

Have a good weekend.
