  Warm Hands Only Where does the time go. Our eldest daughter turns 50 tomorrow and this is the card I finally made. Not what I planned but love it and she has a great sense of humour. Hopefully this will get my mogo back as it has been on walk-a-bout lately. The digi is from Redonkadoodles  and was coloured with copics and I kept it simple so the image takes centre stage. Her favourite colour is green so mounted the panel onto a green square card base and added the sentiment. Copics used:  Skin: E00,31. Mouth: & Lips: E13,31. Hair: E23,25,27,29. Present: G12,14,16. Ribbon: C0,1,3,5. Shadow: G0000,000,00.

Fun Card I have been absent for months and finally thought it was time to get back to doing the odd blog post. Finished this watercolour card the other day and used this great Stamp Set from Kanban and it's perfect for the Happy Little Stampers Challenge.  The sentiment is what caught my eye and the images are so easy to colour. I kept the colouring simple and used TH Distress Inks and then added it to a black panel and adhered it to a light grey card base. 

  Thank You My card for the Outlawz progressive challenge for November. The image is from SheepSki Designs called Claudias Plant and was fun to colour. Added a small plant in front of the large one to the design as I felt it needed it and I kept it CAS and coloured it with my favourite copics. Will list them below. The thank you is a die from The Paper Boutique but don't think it is still available. Copics: Leaves: G20,21,24,28. Pots: E04,07,09. Soil: E23,27. Background: N0,1,3,5. Ground: E41,43,44.

Beauty comes from Within This month the Challenge is this gorgeous image called  Flowers Tiffs Garden  from Oddball Art Co  and I had so much fun colouring this image.

Couldn't decide on a greeting so left it to add later.  Copics:  Hair: E000,07,R01,24 & white gel pen. Skin:E00.02,V20,R20. Eyes: G12 & Lips: R46. Tights: BG34,78 & SU Makers Dark & Light Pool Party.

 Dancing is Magic I can't believe it's been so long but things are still stressful here and I just can't seem to get back into a routine. Maybe that's good as I am doing more activities other than crafting. Nearly forgot this months challenge but here it is. As usual I used copics for colouring and like the finished card. The image is a digi called The little ballerina by Hetty Clare

 On the Mend I think I needed a break, a long, break, but I am slowly getting my mogo back and starting to craft again. My op went great but I am not a good patient and wanted it back to normal quickly and that was not going to happen. I think my PC back-up crash and losing all my stuff was the worst. They tried to rescue it but I'm missing the last 5 years of my cards etc, and as I store my digital downloads and photos they have all gone too. I am just happy that all my family and friends are surviving after the last terrible two years of bushfires, flooding and covid. We are alive and well and coping.  Now to happy things. I have done a few cards with watercolour panels as it relaxing.         They are from the  Altenew Water Coloring Book and it has amazing flowers in both no-line and lined images that are perfect for card fronts.  Now I need to start and do a few Mother's Day cards. Hope all is well with you all out there.
