Over the Rainbow

It's been a while since I coloured with anything but my Promarkers so in a bid to use my stash I dusted off my Lyra pencils and had an enjoyable time making this as my DT inspiration for

It's always Anything Goes just as long as your image is hand coloured.

 The sweet couple (and their lovely doggy) went perfectly with a lovely muted rainbow pad from Alpaca Pals and I just finished it off with some LOTV cut up words. 

I am feeling a little bit older this week as it was my birthday yesterday, that unfortunate event means more cake...had to be done!!  I have been on Annual Leave this week and have been decorating our Sitting Room. I reckon the whole of Dorset must have had the same idea as the shelves in the DIY stores were quite empty, however we managed to find enough of a colour that we both liked so all is well!! It was probably a sensible project as it hasn't stopped raining. Cold and dry is much better, even -9 degrees is preferable to howling gales and rain!!

Keep well everyone xx

Moooo...

......that is bovine speak for Hello and Welcome!!

Wishing you a Happy and Peaceful Easter Weekend. Just in case you find yourself with some time to craft, how about colouring up an image and joining in at

All you need to do is share a card that has an image that has been hand coloured with your chosen medium. Here is my inspiration for you.

Cuddly Critters Cow from our Sponsor Dr Digi.

She was, of course, coloured with Promarkers...all the Cool Greys, a couple of Warm Greys, Putty, Sunkissed Pink and a touch of Coral. The mats were little pieces of scrap that were in my Bits Box/

Looking at her now, it looks like I forgot to "ground" the poor moo...ooops!!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the long weekend whatever you are doing. 

See you the other side of the weekend with some Christmas cheer!! xx

Some Challenges

Addicted to Stamps #337 - Make your Mark

Naughty or Nice?

Hello lovely people. I am here today with my second spot at

Colour Crazy Challenge

As always the theme is Anything Goes but you must use an image that you have coloured yourself.

I used Naughty or Nice? from our sponsor Dr Digi and did this...

Another new paper pad, Dovecraft this time, that I matted onto silver mirri board. I know now why I avoid images with lots of white!! Believe it or not there is a fair bit of shading on Father Christmas' shirt, beard and list...just use your imagination!!

Hope you are having a good week.

See you soon xx
