Hi everyone,
I was delighted to be asked to be Guest Designer today over at the Paper Creations Ink Challenge but oh how you will laugh. Anyone knowing me will know I love making girly cards, frilly fancy etc is just up my street and how I love pink! Well imagine my face when I saw this image that I was to use for today's spot! Well, hey you be kind about this Lil Ol Grumpy image, he has feelings you know, lol and he does grow on you! ( I think! lol) To be honest he totally transforms once coloured. Well I can tell you he has certainly raised a smile in this house. When I saw the theme was Love and Romance, I just thought 'easy peasy - just my cup of tea but then when I saw Lil Ol Grumpy ( available here ) well I was way out of my comfort zone! But hey I like a challenge and I did say I wanted to try new things in the New Year (famous last words! lol). Anyhow now I am really quite pleased with the end result.
So, what have I used? Well basically everything came from my stash using a mixture of die-cuts, punchies, cheesecloth and of course I have coloured this little fella with Copics and Promarkers and added lashings of glitter. Because it is suitable for Valentines Day I thought it could take it. Strange how things turn out, I started off with the intention of making a grungey card, but things sort of changed along the way and this is the finished result. I just could not resist adding the sentiment 'Sending you a Smile'. How apt is this!
I wonder what you honestly think? I will be putting it on EBay but don't all rush at once! Haha! (link on my sidebar).
Thanks for looking and I hope I have made you smile today, do pop over to the Challenge it is a lovely theme and a great challenge! and also pop over to Smeared Ink too as there are lots of other digis to be had.
