Hello :) 

Gosh the months are flying by so quickly this year can you believe it's May already?

Time for this months New Release at C.C. Designs, 

Meet Banner Heidi! She is just adorable.

                           

I've coloured Heidi with Copic's

I cut her out with the Banner Heidi Outline die and used the small banner triangles that are inside the die at the top right hand side of my card.

I used papers from the Doodle Bug 6"x 6" paper pad 'Hello Spring'.

The HB2U sentiment is a die from the center of the Birthday Eli Outline die.

Thanks

Especially for our ANZACS!

100 years of ANZAC! 

Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. 

It is with honor and pride that I share this card today for it is to say THANK YOU to those that have fought for us and lost their lives for us and for those who continue to do so today to keep us safe.

I have the utmost respect for all the armed services.

My middle daughter is awaiting news to see if she has been accepted into the Australian Defense Force for a gap year position, we are so very proud of her choice to do this so fingers crossed it works out for her.

I have donated this card and two others using this image to our local RSL for them to use as they see fit.

Zoe from Make it Crafty has very generous offered this image 'Poppies' and sentiment as a Freebie for this weekend only through the Make it Crafty Newsletter so if you receive the newsletter use this poppy on a project to show your respect.

I coloured the poppies with my Copic's,

Petals - R35, 37, 39 Y28

Stems - YG03, 63, 67

Shadows - W6

Lest we forget

Now Featuring DoveArt's 3rd Release!

We have 8 new image stamps and a sentiment set from DoveArt and you are invited to our wonderful blog hop. These images are beautiful and make for some very elegant cards. Many of the images will be perfect for Mother's or Father's Day cards, which is right around the corner.

We have a elegant, beautiful hop for you to enjoy today. The stamps are available for purchase now, you will want them all by the end of the hop. You can purchase the stamps here.

I love these stamps so much, they are so realistic and are not difficult to colour with great guide line for creating shadows and depth. I chose to play with 'Gone Fishing' for my first card.

And for my second card I chose 'Old West Locomotive'. I had few goes at this one trying to create the right background and that smokey steam but I think the end result works.

Hello, you may know that the Challenge this month at Make it Colourful is 'Focusing on Hair' so I thought I'd better get some practice in colouring hair. I went straight for Zoe's e-book tutorial 'Colouring Long Hair' it has easy step by step instructions so I took on the beautiful image that comes with the tutorial 'Zoe' illustrated by Krista Smith (Saturated Canary)  :)

I colored her with Copic's and Polychromos Pencils. 

Skin - E50, 21, 11, 04

Hair - W3, 5, 7, Warm Grey V, Warm Grey VI

Eyes - B01, 02, 04, C2

Dress - Y02, 06, 08, 17, 38, YR27

Heart - R24, 27, 39. 

I used a Honeycomb Stencil and Colour Box Sunflower ink from Kaszazz to make the background on the card and some hexagons using a Creative Memories punch.
