Mermaid

At The Colour Crazy Challenge, we are being sponsored by: Ching Chou Kuik. 
I got this lovely image called: The tender Angie. (mermaid)


 She took an age to colour, with my promarkers and alcohol pens,
 but worth it when I had finished and fussy-cut around her. 
 I die-cut a frame in a few different papers to represent the sky and sand,
 ripping the edges carefully to appear like the surf. 
 The "sea " in the background was made with my promarkers and the "sky" behind her, 
was inked with my chalky inks. 
 The whole thing was matted and layered on a kraft paper, then a kraft / blue foiled paper.
 I love this card, if I do say so myself. :)

Mums 70th Birthday

The challenge is "anything goes!" at
Patties Creations this week. 


 I chose the beautiful image !magnolia branch"
as I thought it would make the perfect card for my mums 70th birthday!

(Unfortunately, I couldn't attend her garden party last week as I was in isolation,
a child in one of my groups tested positive, then I tested positive a week later!) 

Anyhow...
I coloured the image with my alcohol markers,
added a stamped sentiment and diecut numbers, 
with a punched butterfly and heart. 
I edged it all in pink / yellow and popped it on a trellis-look  embossed background.

My Mum loved it!
