Bookaholic

Hi, all! It's Kaly here with a quick question - Do you like to read books? I love to...In fact I wish I have enough time to read non-stop till my hair grows this big :)

This quirky and funny image from the new The East Wind stamps is called Bookaholic and it was such an enjoyment to color. Then, like in a good story, I put on a lot of incompatible things like flowers and cogs, and feathers and lace, to make the card even more interesting.

Hope you like my red-haired girl and don't forget that you still have time to be a part of our March Flowers Challenge.

Smiles,

Kaly

East Wind; Angel

Happy Sunday!

I am sooooo thrilled, I was attending a course yesterday, and it got my creative vibes going on high speed! Fear not, I willl tell you more once the course is completed, later this spring :)

On a more tell-tale note, I've had a play with The East Wind's new image, Angel

 She's a really sweet image, but I decided to grunge her up - as to show the versatility this image offers :)

And here she is all close up and nice; isn't she just great? :D 

I love the sweet kinda punky vibe she gives off.

I hope you feel inspired, I'd love to see what you think she should look like!

Creative Greets,

Kisses for Mum

Good morning everyone :) 

I hope you're having a good start to your day.

I've had a play with the new image from Robin Pushay, 

Kisses for Mum. It's one out of four new images, all so gorgeous!

 I coloured the sky as a night-sky, the image features a sun and some skies; I wanted to build on the mysticism of mermaids :)

And here you see them upclose; Such a lovely image - and a thrill to play with! 

These images are all great for mothersday/ new baby/ national womans day 8th of March and so much more :)

Thank you for looking - 

Enjoy your day! 

-Laila
