Arabellas Sketch over at Pollycraft

Good morning guys!! Monday again. I could tear my hair out. Stock take at work later this evening. Wish me luck. I will probably leave the place with no hair. No jokes. :( Onto happier things while the time is right though, right?

Monday can only mean one thing. One happy thing. A BRAND NEW CHALLENGE over at Pollycraft Monday. Can I get a 'Yayyyy!!' :) 

The gorgeous and hugely talented Arabella has created a SKETCH for us all to use. Be sure to check out her colouring of Barclay for this challenge. Mind blowing. That is all.

Here's the sketch.

The lucky winner of this challenge will receive 10 Pollycraft digis of their choice from the store!  What an awesome prize!  

 

 

So here is my take - using the ever so adorable Barclay. This is Barclay's Star. I've coloured him up using ProMarkers and FlexMarkers and cut him out using a nestie. :)

So here's another 'boy card' for my stash - Barclay makes it sooo easy to create those oh so difficult boy/male cards. :) I love him. I've layered up a few slices of patterned paper from My Minds Eye on the bottom layer of the card to add a little more interest. I wrapped some navy bakers twine around and flicked up the little notepad binding stuff, thingy. YKWIM! :) The sentiment and the little stars in the corners are from SU! and have been stamped in some yummy lime green chalk ink.

ProMarkers and FlexMarkers

Honeycomb, Ginger, Spice, Saddle Brown

Muted Pink, Pale Pink

Grass, Emerald, Lush Green

Soft Aqua, Honeydew, Aquamarine

Buttercup, Pastel Yellow, Mustard

I've been asked by a lot of beginners and new PM users to list the colours I've used on my projects, and I think you people are smart enough to know which line is which. Like.. Honeycomb, Ginger, Spice, Saddle Brown is obviously his ginger fluff, right? Grass, Emerald, Lush Green are his eyes. You'll work it out - I'm sure! ;)

Enjoy your Monday - I'm off to colour and relieve some stress before I head out to work later. Oh, and I gotta pick some milk up. I had to have black coffee this morning. I was almost SICK!! :(
