Hiya,for this Beautiful image of the Flower Dress,I coloured her with Polychromos Pencilsonto Neenah Card..I decided not to use a background on her because of all the detail,but it her out and layered her onto a beautiful leaf green taking inspiration from her Dre’s..I also uses it the mat the gorgeous papers from Docrafts Bohemiem paper pad. To finish I added three white faux pearls on adjacent corner..a simple card,with a great WOW factor..ps I did not colour to match the papers ,I was looking through my pads and these ones just went perfect with it lol!, it’s even pearlescent too 😀 xx

Sasayaki Glitter ..New Challenge Orange

Hiya, for this challenge ,being Orange I chose this little cutie as the next two posts are going to be super cool images just right for Halloween so I did not want to do one for this one too..I have coloured her using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card, and I used Pastel Chalks for the background..Please note the image is just the girl and the background is just my doodling so does not come with the image.
I then popped some squiggles around the edge and mounted her onto craft card..
The papers I used were from a Polkadoodles cd called Magic Garden ..I could not find orange papers anywhere then remembered seeing these on there ,a little more of a teracotta but close enough to orange.I added a piece of cream lace and some natural hessian ribbon to the smaller piece of card then once the topper was added with 3D glue I added a small bow,to finish I added some faux pearls 
Thank you for popping by 😊 xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release 1st Oct

Hiya...As usual I have coloured my image with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I cut her out and mounted her onto some green card ..The papers that i have used are from a Hunkydory pad called Florabunda and works wonderfully with this lovely summer image..The background is my own drawing and I did the back wall with pastel chalks..I have noticed that there are pencil marks on this now its been photographed..this is because I used the wrong side of the Neenah..Fore some unknown reason there is a smooth side and a slightly and I mean slightly rougher side ,this is the one I usually use,and I wondered why it was not playing right,now I know lol..funny how you get used to one thing but it does work better for the build up of the pencils and the blending on that side ,seems to slip on the smooth side..
Thank you for taking the time to pop by 😊 xx

World Wide Open DT Challenge ..September

Hiya..Todays lovely image has been coloured using my Polychromos pencils onto Neenah card,I then mounted her onto some beautiful deep blue card which I then carried through to the backing card..For this I used some card I brought from Kanban I think last year of C&C tv..and for this one I chose the gorgeous embossed doves and they have Peace on Earth under them..It would be nice if there was ..The other is white trees embossed onto gold and it was an off cut from a project from last year and I felt it would fit beautifully with this..To finish I have used some dies from China,but I think I actually have a set of these I brought a few years back, but I cannot remember the make off hand..To finish I added clear gems to the centers ,these actually pick the gold as well as bring through the grey tones in her hair..My favourite Christmas card yet this year ..Thank you for popping by

Sasayaki Glitter Sept Challenge Brown

This was a fun card to do..I coloured the little fella with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..Please note that the background and foreground is just my artwork and nothing to do with the stamp,so will not be included I then trimmed and mounted it onto craft card.. Then cut and mounted the backing papers onto craft card..The papers are from Tonic's Woodland Walk paper pad..I used an unbranded die set from China but I believe you can get similar from Marianne Designs if you cannot find this dinosaur set,cut out both in craft card and drew what I wanted on like the eyes and toes etc..Yhen used pencil to give the textured look you sort of expect a dinosaur to haveand stuck them on with 3D glue so they are slightly proud of the image..The photos do not do justice to this card ,I am afraid my lighting is not so good tonight..
Thank you for popping by  😊 xx

**PLEASE NOTE THE STAMP IS ONLY THE FIGURE**

Sketch Saturday ..Pink Gem Designs

 Hiya..I have coloured the Penguin in Three times using it differently to create the three squares at the top..This was done with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah Card..I then mounted it onto Red card,which I used throughout the card for highlights.The papers are from a Tonic paper pad called Winter wonderland..I used Pom Poms to decorate the center red piece of card and learnt using my new glue gun put glue on card not onto the small bits ..the air went blue as it stuck to one finger than another and another ..Phew only one blister so was able to finish the card lol!..great tool though,I just brought the little Boch one as its easy on my fingers ..well if I dont get the glue on them ..even with arthritic fingers it is easier to use than the usual small trigger type 😊..For the first time I have shown the inside of my card so you can see how I finish them..Thank you for popping by,have a lovely weekend 😃xx

Sept 1st New Release..Sasayaki Glitter

This is another card I thoroughly enjoyed..I coloured the image with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card, Once I had done this I drew in the three baubles inked  and coloured them in and then added the shading around the back of the baubles and the cute zebra this gives it much more depth..I then added a squiggle around the outer edge ,cut it out and mounted onto black card..All the papers used are also backed onto black card too..These are from a Tonic Christmas Wishes Pad ,and I used a cute darker tree and present one for the background and a nice gold coloured tree one as a band across the center to pick upon the gold in the one bauble and add to the backgroundI thin finished with three gold gems to opposite corners..
Thank you for taking the time to pop by :)xx

*** Please note the digi does not include the baubles

Sketch Saturday Challenge..Crafty Sentiments Designs

Hiya..for today's challenge card ,I have coloured the little girl in using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card..The background is coloured with pastel chalks to give a very soft effect..The card I used for mounting is from Hunky Dory in a beautiful soft green,I used this throughout the card.The papers are from Docrafts Painted Blooms paper pad ,this has some lovely papers in,this one is actually satin finished and looks stunning in real ,the strip however is just matt and adds a different texture..The sentiment is cut off some card I brought from Kanban last year and is white and gold embossed onto craft card,as there are lines of words on it this was just a quick easy addition ,and it really stands out too ..To finish I added three deep red roses to the bottom of the left corner of the image ,they pick up the red from the image and from the paper ..Remember it does not have to be exactly the same as the sketch when you visit the challenge blog you will see how the other girls have interpreted it ,you can show a bit of you own artistic flair ,after all if we did exactly the same it would make us so boring lol..Imagine everyone being able to make cards like mine lol!.. so out of the box sometimes I scare myself ha! ha!..But it's all about the love of doing it ..

Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Reminder

Hiya..for this card I coloured the image in with my Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card,I then fussy cut around it leaving a small white line to help it pop off the card..I have used black card for matting this one ..The background paper is from a tonic pad called Folksy Florals and the beautifully foil embossed craft card is from Kanban I purchased from C&C last year..You can see how nice it is on the center picture..After gluing the backing papers onto the card base I then added the gold panel with 3D glue to give a bit of depth,Then I added a small black piece of card I did a wiggle line around with the 3D glue to lift that up and finally added the mouse with the same glue,it helps to give the card  depth and a bit of movement..I kept it simple by adding a few black gens to opposite corners ..This can then be given to a boy or girl even though the bike and hat is blue it is a nice neutral card..and I think the cool mouse would be fun for either..Thank you for popping by :)xx

WWODT August Challenge

This is by far one of my favourite cards in a while..I have coloured the beautiful image by Julia Spiri in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I then coloured the background with pastel chalks as I did not want it to over take the image..I used pencil just to define it..It was then mounted onto some Pink Hunkydory Card..as was the lovely papers..I chose these ones as the image looked perfect on them..I rather than making flowers decided to decoupage the lovely flowers on the papers and add them on with 3D glue to make them pop up off the page and to add some depth..I do love playing with papers this way ,on this particular case the paper and the image marry together perfectly..The paper pad I used was Hunkydory Florabunda,and it has some extremely beautiful papers in there and they are also double sided too ,so great value for money..I would have used glitter but my my glue pen has died,but after looking at it today in the daylight I am pleased I did not ..not keen on glitter except at Christmas of course ,but that goes with out saying as its all glitter then he! he! he!..

Sketch Saturday ..Mmendel Illustrations

Hiya..Been busy this week I know ,but last one hehe ..I coloured this really pretty mermaid with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card ..I then cut her out using Tattered Lace Basic Ovals and did a pink mat to pop her on using card from Hunkydory..I used this also for the papers too ..These were also from Hunkydory from their Delightful Deco pad.. These are silky papers that add a nice shimmer to them,not my favorites because they are a little thin for my liking but they do look nice on the card..
For the shape on the side I folded a piece of card in half and carefully cut the shape out allowing for the depth of the oval and and just a bit more,then I fussy cut it out,then transfered it to the paper I was using..,this saved making mistakes on the best paper..Then I glued it onto the mat and fussy cut that out too ,not perfect but it is something very different .. The flowers are from CC English country Garden range ,I used the smaller flower on this card..The design merited two but I felt it looked odd so I added three,to finish I added a computer generated sentiment and some pretty resin roses to the center of the flowers..
