Evening all, howz your day been? I've got one of the little uns off today with a cold which she's kindly shared with me, back to school woes! My eldest had some reverse out of their driveway into her 2 weeks ago and she's got the insurance cheque in full today - thats gotta be the quickest ever settlement in history surely lol! So at the weekend we're car shopping again. She's seen a car she likes, its yellow! Irrelevant to a teenage girl what make/model/engine size it is, its yellow!
Went to Padgate Crafters over the weekend and just did some colouring so coloured up this new digi by Crafts & Me called Miss Mirabelle which is of course by Hannah Lynn. Isn't she just gorgeous, I just love this one so will be experimenting with colour schemes.
The challenge this week over at Crafts & Me, with yours truly as your hostess, is Stripes. I can be quite chaotic so I like to bring a little order in somewhere :) The prize is a splendid choice of 6 digi stamps from Crafts & Me, how can you resist Miss Mirabelle! We also have a new facebook chat group where you can post your creations using the stamp range and we offer a prize here or there too - find it here!
Okies onto me card like! I coloured with promarkers using browns, tans, pink and grey with the odd touches of blue. The papers are by Bearly Mine (the stripy ones) and background one is DCWV (either once upon a time or olde worlde stack) I inked a paper doily for the corner with a brown brilliance ink and the charm is recycled from something of DD's from primark. The butterfly in the corner has been coloured with metallic gold ferro paint (from The Stampman) to keep in with the steampunk/metallic theme. Gold gems are from The Robins Nest. Had real fun making this one as I seemed to have left my mojo on holiday lol! Now next mission is how to pack it to post as its for somebodys birthday next week ssssh!

Another stunner Vix. All I ever seem to do is come here and rave about your colouring, but I wish I could get a one to one lesson from you if you weren't so far away from me.

Hi Vix, what a gorgeous card. I love the beautiful image and your colouring is awesome. Thanks for joining in with our sketch challenge over at PFP this week. Hugs, Denise x
OMG, how my jaw dropped when this little beauty landed on my doorstep this morning. I am truly honoured and amazed by how wonderful this card is. If you think it looks good on screen, times it by 20 and you are getting close to how good it looks IRL.
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart Vixykins, it will be treasured always.
Love Mandy xxx
Beautiful colour work! Beautiful card! hugs, Lesley
