Spring is in the Air This adorable fox is the freebie image for this month on the Gerda Steiner Blog . With spring just a couple of days away down here in Australia I made a card with blue skies, green grass but with bare trees. Still cold here in Canberra but some blossoms are starting to bloom. I used distress inks for all the colouring, a tree die from Cottage Cutz and one from Simon Says Stamps for the grassy slope. Distress inks:  Fox: Tea Die, Dried Marigold, Picket Fence. Sky: Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Stormy Sky. Grassy Slope Mowed Lawn.

Woman Hear Me Roar Love this image and my first thoughts were how confident and completely in control she looks. A girl with attitude hence the title. That Helen Reddy song sums it up beautifully. Kept it Cas so the image stands out and coloured her with copics. The stripes of card down the sides were coloured in the same colour as her dress. Love doing this so I don't have to worry about matching cardstock.  Copics: Skin: E11,51,R20. Hair: E40,49.50,74,79. Lips & Eyes: R56,85,G43. Fress: BV31,34. Flowers: Y000,04,YR02,G43,C0. Shadows: BV0000,000.

Enjoy the Journey Steampunk This was a fun ATC for me as I had never really embraced the steampunk look but I think I might have been missing out. Checked out Pinterest and Google then went looking for stamps. Was really surprised how many I found that was suitable and I had really not played with. Is this a sign I have far to many and should not be buying more? Don't really think that will happen. I started with a old piece of  background paper and tore it to fit a 31/2 X 21/2 piece of cardstock. Glued it down then coloured with distress inks. Stamped images from Stampers Anonymous Tiny Things  and Ultimate Grunge   by Tim Holtz but it needed more so used an old stamp from Urban Stamps by Docraft called Chronology (cogs) and the small Eiffel tower by Justjohanna. The extra embellishments are from my stash and a Tim Holtz Game Spinner.  The sentiment was computer generated. Distress inks used: Hickory Smoke Brushed Corduroy Vintage Photo Old Pa...

Make a Wish Have a lovely friend that just loves House Mouse Stamps  by Stampendous so had to make a birthday card with this cute stamp. They are so much fun to colour and she loved it. The card base is light kraft that I adhered a piece of PP and some checked ribbon to. The coloured image was adhered to a piece of teal card stock and then I used dimensionless to add it to the card. The sentiment was computer generated and my medium to colour the image was copics. Copics: Mice: W0,1,3,5,7,R000. Hats: YG11,13,25,B23,24,R81,85. Icecream: E27,47,49,R000.02,12,YR00. Cone: E11,13,15. Candles: C0.3. Match: Y04,R14,E35,39. Ground: E70,71,74. Shadow: BG0000.
