Here Come The Boys -CHALLENGE #51 PAPER PIECING 

Hey everyone, I have been very honoured to be asked to be a Guest DT member for Here Come the Boys during May. The current challenge is Paper Piecing. Now I have never tried this before so this was a challenge in itself for me but I'm pretty happy with the result and will certainly be trying this again. Before I show you my card let me also tell you about some birthday candy Here Come The Boys has on offer! 

Check over on the Here Come the Boys blog for details on how to win! 

Now onto my card:

The stamp I used was Funtime Dan from Digistamp Boutique

Papers were from Card Making Downloads 

I used papers for his hat, trousers and top and also his skateboard. I had such fun doing this and think the effect is great! 

Colours used:

Hair (copics) - E21, E25, E27, E29

Skin (PMs) Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush

Shoes(PMs) Azure, Skye Blue, Arctic Blue

Liam's Birthday 

Hi everyone, wow this week has gone so fast. Panic set in yesterday as I realised its a week to my sons birthday and I have yet to make his card. So this morning I got out the pens and got to work. I used a Lili Of The Valley  stamp as they are super sweet just like my little boy. Ok Ok, big boy now. He will be 10 on 8th of May. Where has the time gone! Anyway, just like his dad, Liam is a huge football fan (yawn!) his favourite team is our home town Barnsley FC, but he also likes Liverpool. Both teams play in red and white so that was the colours I went with for the card. 

Here it is:

Colours used: 

Hair (Copics) E21, E25, E27, E29 

Skin (promarkers) Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Blush, Baby Pink

Football kit: Burgundy, Crimson, Berry Red, Lipstick Red, Ice grey1 + blender

Shoes and ball: Black, Cool grey 5 & 4.

The grass and clouds are both done with Pan Pastels. I love using these as the effect is so subtle. 

The stamp is Super Striker from Lili of the Valley.

I would love it if you would leave me a comment and follow my blog. leave your blog address in the comments and I will follow back :)

Hi all, Back to work today so no crafting today (got to squeeze in a little housework first) but I wanted to share this card with you. While I was busy yesterday crafting away (see previous posts) my 11 year old daughter Anna was sat across from me busily colouring away and came up with this! WOW! shes a chip off the old block huh? Very proud of her and said I would include on my blog to show everyone what a beautiful talented daughter I have. 

She used promarkers although im not sure what colours as she had packed away before I got chance to look (now lets apply that to your bedroom Anna!) 

Papers were from First Edition Papers - New Bloom

candi from our ever growing stash (you can never have too much candi right?)

And here she is, my beautiful Daughter.
