Lilybean Fairy #5

Good afternoon, what a beautiful afternoon it is, still very warm for the middle of May but I don't want to say that out loud because then it will change and start getting colder. We had a very busy weekend, I finished my card on Saturday evening and was to tired to even take a photo let lone do the posting and yesterday we do to go away for the day and I was up at 5.30am to leave home for 6.30am so a very early morning start for a Sunday morning and last night I was just too tired to even look at the computer let alone make a posting otherwise I would have made heaps of mistakes.LOL. Another wonderful sketch from Arlana at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and here's my take on it. I'm really pleased how my card turned out and I adore the new papers I found. I had to colour the image for my papers.

Card Recipe:

• White SU card for the base
• Purple and Lime Craft Creations Paper
• Patterned paper is Pavlova Papers Mauve Scroll and the reverse side is Pastel Stripes on the other side and the other is also a Pavlova Paper it is Lime Scroll and Dots on the reverse side which I didn't use.
• Image is another of Lilybean Fairies from Pollycraft Designs this is the 5 th one in the series I still have one to go.
• Image coloured with Copic Markers
• Ribbon, flower and gems from my stash

Thanks so much for dropping by and I hope everyone has a great week.

Take care

Good morning it's another beautiful morning here in New Zealand the sun is shinning, it's a little cool and you know it's Autumn. The wonderful Autumn colours of the trees and the leaves are falling on the ground. I look over to a beautiful tree we have out of my kitchen window and it 's the shades of burnt orange the same as my card. We have about 500 trees around me on our property and all of them are different this time of year. My card today is for Colour Create Challenge # 43 Burnt Orange, Black and Cream these colours are completely out of my comfort zone but I've really enjoyed making this card. Having only boys you would think I would be use to these colours.LOL

Card Recipe:

• Base cream SU card stock
• Black paper from Craft Creations
• Burnt Orange Bazzill Basics Paper (Saltillo) colour
• Patterned paper be loved "Beautiful Branches by My Mind's Eye. After I bought the paper I noticed little love hearts on the paper which matched the hearts in Lilybean's hat and hand.
• Lilybean Fairy is #3 in the series by Pollycraft Designs and Lilybean has been coloured with Copic Markers and Versa Colour Ink
• Cream Lace and Pearls and Burnt Orange ribbon are from my stash
• Cuttlebug and Nestabilities Square

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and this Sunday in New Zealand is "Mother's Day"

Hugs to everyone

Lilybean Fairy #2 I love Digi Challenge #5

Lilybean Fairy #2

Good morning here it is Friday morning already, boy it comes around quickly and as you get older I think it comes quicker. I made this card last night for a new challenge I found on someones blog and it's I Love Digi do I what!!! ??? I love digi images and papers so thought this challenge would be just right for me. Then I had to search my computer and my scraps for papers to match my image. One of these days I do it the other way round, find the papers first then colour my image.LOL I'll learn. Here's my take on Dawny's sketch.

Card Recipe:

• White SU card for the base
• Blue paper from Summertime Designs she has some amazing papers
• Patterned Umbrella paper is from The Creative Cottage Come Rain or Shine Kit
• The yellow gingham paper I down loaded some time ago but didn't name it in my computer, all I can tell you is there is about 16 colours in the set and it's called Gingham Paper Set. If anyone knows can you please tell me know so that put the name in my postings.
• The image is another of the Lilybean Fairies from Pollycraft there are 6 images in the set and this one is coloured with Copic Markers.
• Sponged with Yellow Versa Ink
• Gems and Flowers from my stash.

Thank you for looking at my posting and have a great weekend.

Flights out of New Zealand are only to America, Australia and the Asia Pacific at present nothing any further.
