City Girl

Happy saturday, Crafts and Me fans! :D

 I've had a play with a shiny new Hannah Lynn image, called "City Girl".
She's a real thrill to colour - I just love the hair on Hannah Lynn's images ^_^ 
Here you can see a closeup :)

A pair of blues

Evening all, thought I'd sneak in quick to show you these.  I have 2 cards for you tonight.  Yes I'm joined again by Miss Moo who loves colouring in all my images, stash raider!

The first one is a new image called Mornings by Jeremiah Ketner available as a digi from Crafts & Me.  I LOVED colouring this one in, I could see her as a monotone but she looks awesome in any colour combo, have fun with this one as she is a pleasure to colour. I did this one with promarkers.
I asked on the Facebook group how I should put the card together, lots of bitty bobs or keep it simple and the latter was the consensus.  The white card I just doodled on with an acrylic pen.  The stars I filled in with a sakura glue pen and added glamour dust crystal glitter, I also added to the flowers.  I went round the edges with distress inks as this makes the image pop out.  I use the distress ink tool and pads and pull from the outside in starting with the lightest colour (broken china) and ending with black, I don't have a black distress so just use the brilliance ink.
The image matt I coloured with one of the promarkers I used on the image so it all matches.






Next up is one from Miss Moo who has informed me she is now 6 and 3/4!  She loves entering challenges, she gets so excited reading her comments.  She was let loose with some flexmarkers, think she did a great job, she's very funny about going over the lines and tuts at me when I do haha!  This one is Glowing Love Boy by Sara Burrier from Crafts & Me.  The background is a fab set also from Crafts & Me here.  They're lovely printables, this one was coloured a different way so I use an online editor like Pixlr and change the colour settings then save a new version.  That way the papers go much further and you will always have something that matches your project as if you're anything like me you always colour first then rummage round trying to find things to match!



Anyway night all and thanks for stopping by x

Hi :D 
I hope you are all enjoying easter so far? 

 I am using my days of for colouring, and walking in the garden - it is coming alive! My first dwarf iris is in bloom, and my first daffodil is around the corner. That helped inspire this card, using the new image from Hannah Lynn, "Mona".
Done in nice bright spring colours :) 
Well, I will keep on colouring - and I hope you all have time to enjoy your days off with crafting too!

Hugs, 
Laila
