And there's more..!!

Good Morning all!

I've made up some more little treat bags for Halloween using the really cute Spooky, Spooky Spooky CC designs set which I got from Dies to Die For.

Those of you that know me really well will know that I'm not very confident with my colouring, but I have to admit that I'm very pleased with how well these have turned out with the shading and everything else.

Apologies about the bows! Why is it when you tie a bow of something, it never stays straight, but goes at an angle?!?!

I hope everyone has a lovely Saturday and thank you for any comments you may leave, they are much appreciated.

TLC187 - Mark Your Spot

I've been having a look at some of the technique challenges on Splitcoaststampers and thought I'd start off doing something fairly easy........a bookmark!!

There was a reason I chose this challenge though. Jon's just started reading a book and said that he needed a bookmark, so just grabbed some scrap paper to put in and mark his page. After thinking for a while, I managed to knock this up in 30 mins (it does help having the image already coloured to start with).

I don't think it's too girly or cutesy for a guy and Jon seemed to like it, which is the main thing.

If you fancy having a go yourself, you can find the instructions here. I might have a go at making some more of these and possibly try selling them.

Hope you're all having a good evening, thank you for stopping by and any comments you may leave, they are greatly appreciated.

Happy Easter! - Friday Sketchers #47

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you get lots of yummy chocolate eggs to enjoy as it's the one day of the year we needn't feel guilty about eating it!

As I said in my previous post, I must try and start participating in a few more challenges so I thought "why not check out the Friday Sketchers challenge this week?" Jacqueline has come up with a fabulous sketch for us to follow and I couldn't wait to try it out.

I used the cute Hunny Bunnies from CC Designs that I got from Dies to Die For. I've coloured with copics before cutting out with oval nesties and mounting onto a scalloped oval. The base is made up of using a piece of last years DCWV Spring Stack pack and adhered to some pale blue bazzill basics card which I have also used for the strip across the top. I've cut the swirl from a Sizzix die (scribble swirl I think). The sentiment is from Elyzbells. I've finished off by adding some gemstones.

It's a bit different for me as I'm not used to using dp, but wanted to give it a go. I've tried to coordinate the colours on the paper with those that I've used to colour my bunny. Any tips on how I can improve would be greatly appreciated!

Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by.
