Wee Stamps Summer Fairy

Hurrah! The weekend is here - been a long week at work for some reason, and today the weather has been really pants. So to cheer myself up I made this card to practice my colouring and I've used the Summer Fairy from Wee Stamps. This stamp was a freebie with one of the card magazines but you can get her as a digistamp too.


And here is a close up of my colouring - what do you think, improving???

 
I've coloured her using Spectrum Noir pens. My blender pen also arrived in the post today so if the weather is still pants over the weekend perhaps I'll be able to get some more practice in!
 
Have a good weekend everyone!
 
Lisa

Crafter's Companion SWALK 'I do' Wedding Card

My Niece's mum is getting married today and so I thought I would make her a card for the big day. I did manage to get a message to her sister on Facebook to check out the colour scheme for the day so that my card would fit in. Here it is......


I've used the 'I do' stamp from Crafter's Companion - I've used this stamp a few times this year so I need to invest in a new wedding one, especially as my Brother is getting married next year.

I hope you like it (and I hope Vicky and Paul like it too!)

Fifty shades of Grey........Saturated Canary Grey Tie

Well all us ladies have all read the books - I finished all 3 in two weeks! Very enjoyable! Just hope that no-one was reading it over my shoulder on the Kindle while I was on the train.

Some of the girls at work are still reading the trilogy and I made this card for a colleague's birthday who has just finished reading the last book.

Now we just wait for the film and find out who is going to play Christian Grey!

Here's my card using the Saturated Canary Grey Tie digstamp:-
