Hi, here's a bit of Whimsy Inspiration for the Whimsy Stamps Challenge 'Love is in the Air' 

I have used two images today one from Crissy's Digi's called Cupid on a Cloud and the other from Ashlan Valor Tangles called Heart to Heart 

These are the markers I used

I hope this inspires you to get out your craft supplies and join in on the Challenge at

Hi today's post is a bit different to my usual post in that it's not a card it's a coloured image that I might frame. I have thoroughly enjoyed colouring this image although it was challenging. What do you think?

This digi  image is from Ashlan Valor Tangles which you can find at the Whimsy Stamps Store

Here is some step by step photo's

I hope you like it, I do :)

Hello again, I'm here today to show you my inspiration card for the Make it Colourful Challenge 6 Brown, Brown & Brown. The Easy challenge is Colouring with Browns and the Hard challenge is Monochrome Browns trying to re-create the Sepia look. That's what I tried to do with this image but didn't quite get it right as I used skin tones which disqualifies it as Sepia BUT it's still Browns so my Inspiration is for the Easy Challenge this time and I will be back with some Sepia Inspiration soon. 

These gorgeous images are from Make it Crafty and Little Miss Muffet Stamps 

The background is  Cafe de Paris MiC Digi

The gentleman is Alexander MiC Digi

And the beautiful Lady is The Girl with a Fan LMMS Rubber

On this occasion I used the digital version of The Girl with a fan with permission from the artist

 Forgotten Scraps

These are the markers I used

So if I have Inspired you to give this a try pop on over to the Make It Colourful site and join in on the fun.

Hello Lovely's, today I am posting some Inspiration for those of you who might like to enter this months Sketch Challenge 6 at  Make it Crafty Facebook Group being February 'The Love Month' I thought I would add some love to this card, hope you like it. 

I tried something different this time and made the card before I coloured the image and I found it so much easy to match the colours to the paper instead of visa verso. 

Here are some step by step photos. 

I used on of the new pre-made scenes from Make it Crafty called Country Love Walk and some old favorites Geeky Love also from Make it Crafty

I used way too many Copic Markers to list for this one sorry.
