Spring is in the Air

YIPPEEEEE the new printer has finally arrived, just got to get  the drivers downloaded and then I will be back in action, it did nt arrive in time for me to join in with the rest of the fab DT for this weeks challenge of 'Make It Shine' at  Make It Colourful, but thats no reason why you shouldn't give it a go oh and by the way we have another fantastic new sponsor this week Elaine of Quixotic Paperie who is offering £10 to spend in store to the winner.

The good thing about not having my printer though was that I was forced to get out my stamps, this little cutie is Blue Fairy from Sweet Pea Stamps.

she was stamped onto copic paper which I stuck to cardboard and used a Marianne D die cut for the shape. I masked the fairy and used my copic air brush to give a pale green background for the image, and then used some really bright warm colours to depict spring. the papers are My Minds Eye.
The little butterfly was originaly white so I coloured that in matching copics and the flowers I coloured with Glimmer Mist (I had to paint it on as the spray bottle won't work dont you just hate that!).

Ribbons and Bows

Wow it seems like forever since I last posted, I hope that all who celebrate it had a great christmas and wish everyone a Happy New Year.

I had a bit of an upsetting time before christmas as my two cats Casper and Tigger were poisoned with Anti freeze and had to be put down, they were brothers and coming up for 10 years old so were definetely part of the family and are greatly missed.

Hubby bless his heart though went all out to cheer me up over xmas and bought me some fabby presents, new copic markers yahooo and some gorgoeus stamps from 'Sweet Pea Stamps' which meant I had a great excuse to sit and colour over the holiday period, which I did!!!! I really loved colouring these images there is so much detail you can really bring them to life. I was a bit worried that I wasnt going to be able to do them justice, but am really happy with the results I have achieved. Now all I need to do is make them all into cards lol.

This gorgeous image Dara by Meredith Dillman is the first of them that I have managed to put onto a card. (I remember the days when I had a waist like that, which shows I have got a blinkin good memory!) She is coloured with copics,  the ribbon was plain white which I coloured with copics to match her dress and the flowers are from Wild Orchid .
