  Born to be Wild I am amazed that it has been 9 months since I last posted on my blog. I have been card making but have just made them for friends, family and my two favourite animal rescue charities. I sell them and any money made I donate to them. We have been lucky here in Australia that covid has not not been as bad as else where but it did mean we had to cancel our trip to Scotland but we have not really had to change our lifestyle and it has been way more relaxing. Maybe to relaxing as I stopped blogging and entering challenges. This is my first and is for the Freshly Made Sketches 469 challenge. This my card.  I used an old stamp set from Studiolight that I found when cleaning up my craft room. Have never used it but love the way it turned out. The bike was coloured with copics then fussy cut and adhered with dimensionals keeping it CAS.  Copics used: YR 12, 18, E09, 39, C0, 3, 5, 7, 9.BG000.

Best Friends Forever When I finished colouring this image I think I had one of those moments when you sit back and say I am so happy with this. Doesn't happen often but definitely with this. The image is Fifi from Ppinkydolls and it is adorable with those big expressive eyes. No planning, just printed the image (thought it was too big) but just started colouring anyway and it all fell into place. The skin tones are colours I would not normally choose but they worked. Thanks to Colleen Schaan from a Copic in the craft room for the YouTube on light skin tone colouring. Love, love the look, especially as it is such a prominent feature on the image. The cat is done with the neutral greys and matched his eyes to Fifi's green ones. The clothes are done in soft shades so they don't distract from that beautiful face and the hair light blond. These images are great to colour as the shading is already there for you to follow and makes it so easy as you don't have to worry wh...

New Digi Challenge   The first CDAC Progressive challenge this year is an image from S hellys images  and it is gorgeous. I printed the image twice, coloured her with copics then fussy cut one to mount over the card front. She was then doubled mounted with black and blue CS and adhered to the card base. I really love the CAS look of this card.      Copics: Skin E000, E00, E02, R20. Hair E70, E71, E74, E77. Wings B0000, B000, C3, C5. Heart Y11, Y15, Y17, Y23, Y28, C1, C3. 

This week on the challenge at Paper Craft Planet we were asked to try a large card measuring 71/4 by 4. For me this was fun as I do a few especially for Christmas. This CAS card was quick and easy using a cuttlebug die and embossing folder that I then sanded. It was mounted on kraft CS and the PP is from the reject shop. Added a button with twine and ribbon. Love the clean look of this.

Annabelle Stamps colour challenge this week was to use the colours below Here is what I came up with. Stamped the image from Squared posies twice and coloured with distress inks. Sentiment also from the same set.  Cut flower from one and mounted it over the other, then mounted it on spellbinder die and on to card. The PP is a Scrap and ribbon from Hobby sew.   Haven't done the Cuttlebug challenge over on Paper Craft Planet for ages so decided to enter that as well. Had fun with it and this is the result. Had to use a new die and I love my new tessatine border die from Memory Box. The stamp is from Gina K and sentiment is computer generated.
