Crafts & Me challenge 94 entry - Anything goes, well it had to be another Hannah Lynn

Hi Everyone,

Yes it would seem i have become quite obsessed with my Hannah Lynn digi stamps, i promise you to leave them alone from now on and use some of my many many other images. If you are practicing with your Copics or promarkers if you use those they are so great because of all that lovely hair and i really do find hair the hardest to colour.

Not to blow my own trumpet but i am really rather proud of this one, i am very happy with the way i have coloured the hair and it actually feels like it is sinking in just have to practice on the blending, i know it is just one of those things you have to work at.

This card really started as i am giving up smoking and this is my first evening, the day went OK but i was feeling at a bit of a loss and needed to keep my hands busy and card making really is perfect for that :)

I wanted to make something bright and funky and wanted to step away from the blues i seem to have been using so much lately. I have decided to enter her in the anything goes challenge 94 at crafts & me.

Well here she is, let me know your thoughts or any suggestions. I truly do love hearing from you all and i really appreciate the support.

Colouring hair practice (another excuse to colour another Hannah Lynn)

Hi Everyone,

Thankfully that's the end of an extremely long week sigh....the weekend is here so things are definitely looking up!

Well i am not entering this card into any challenges, it was mainly just to get some practice colouring hair and the card kind of happened. I am experimenting with different colour combinations for hair at the moment and my apologies but you will find they are all differing shades of brown, not very adventurous am i?

Let me know your thoughts

Winter wonderland challenge blog entry

Hi Everyone,

I am entering the following card in the winter wonderland challenge. I tried to do something a little different from my normal styles and this challenge required the focus of the card to be on the sentiment which i thought was a fantastic idea.

I want to say thank you for all the lovely comments you leave, i know this can be time consuming but i wanted you to know that each and everyone is appreciated.


For this card i used the following
Nitwit papers
Blue ribbon from my stash
Scalloped Square die
Sentiment was a freebie from sentiments 4 you
Paper Extra Gems
Brilliance Dew Drop in Sky Blue


Thanks as always
Jox
