Your FAVE Tiddly Inks Image

Morninggg!! So pleased you could stop by today for Fabulous Friday. I know what you guys were thinking. You seen the title and were like.. it's SO gonna be a Wryn!! Well.. I got news for you people!! IT AIN'T!!

I've totally gone against the grain today and created something with.. dun dunnn.. DUNNNNN.. 

Lilli Claire's Bouquet.
New fave. HAHA! I say that EVERY time I colour up a different Tiddly, don't I? How can't you though - every character has so much.. well.. character! LOL!

I've coloured this cutie up using my usual medium. ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. I've cut her out using my largest circle nestie, and stamped some distressed looking splotches around the edges using some yummy Sage Shadow ink from SU!


My papers are from My Minds Eye, and my sentiment is from an Amy R set, stamped in some more SU! ink.. Melon Mambo. I've added some delicious tricolour bakers twine from The Ribbon Girl, a mixture of paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and some pearls and liquid pearls. Oh, there are also some Star Dust Stickles on her little orange bows. Too freakin' CUTE! I love how much detail Christy crams into these images!

Pretty niceee. :)

Thank you ever so much for stopping by. Be sure to pop over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog to see the other amazesauce projects the DT girls have brought for you! xo

Tiddly Inks Fantasy Friends

Good morning guys! How behind am I?! Completely forgot I've even had a blog these past few weeks. Scheduled the neccessary posts and BOOM - there I go and fall off the bandwagon again.

I've really been trying my hardest to get ahead with DT work - and unfortunately this new release is the one thing that has suffered!! But I PROMISE that the freakin' uni unicorn will be getting coloured up ASAP!! Fingers crossed - sometime this week. I know it's an older image, but he is HANDSOME.

So.. you guys already know what I'm wittering on about.. dont'cha?! You have SEEN Christy's blog already and drooled over all of the newbies and the creations from the DT. YES?! If not.. lazy bones.. see THIS POST and get caught up with it all!!

I would love to have a project to show you, but truth is I'm pants.

I would also love to have had left some commenting love over the past few weeks, but I'm totally behind with that. Do you begrudge me being off this laptop when the UK has actually been having a summer this past week or so? *grins*

So.. HEAD OVER TO CHRISTYS BLOG and CHECK. IT. OUT!!
You won't be dissapointed by the new images or the DT projects - trust me!!

Lots of LOVE!
Wednesday. Half way through the week. Almost FRIDAY! Can I get a big SMILE?! xD

Feeling Fruity at Passion for ProMarkers

Morning! Sorry this is up a little late. I was at work ALL DAY :'( yesterday, then stock take in the evening.. then I went and seen a late showing of The Dark Knight Rises last night, and by the time I got in the only thing I was good for was BED! :) I'm here now though.. and it's time for a new challenge over at Passion for ProMarkers.

This week we're being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps, and the lucky winner will receive no less than SEVEN digi images of their choice! ;) 


So.. you wanna know what you've gotta do to be in it to win it!! This week we have a brand new challenge..

FEELING FRUITY

Yeah. :) Interpret this any way you wish. With more of this summer weather making an appearance there are loads of fun, fruity images to choose from to suit the occasion. Can't wait to see what you decide to colour up! :) The DT girls have rocked this one with a whole mix of cute images! Head over to the Passion for ProMarkers blog and have a looksie!!
 
 I've got something a little different to share with you all today, in the form of a bookmark. A bookmark.. which doesn't really form as a bookmark - considering it's just hanging over the cover of my Kindle. Gives a good impression though, doesn't it. It's cute. I love strawberries. :)


Those strawberries are from Some Odd Girl. :) I've used two, flipped one and made them different sizes. They look so pretty layered up like that. I can imagine a whole bowl of the beauties. Check out Strawberry from Some Odd Girl HERE.

I've coloured these using my ProMarkers, obviously! ;) In some luscious reds. They're little eyes add so much character. :) As for the sentiment, I pieced together a little pun using Harolds ABC's from Lawn Fawn. Heehee.

That's about all from me for today. Gotta get my butt into gear and get my magazine submissions finished and make a start on a bunch of wedding cards. Watch this space! ;)

Head over to the challenge blog now and see what the other amazing DT girls have created for this FEELING FRUITY challenge!!

We Want WASHI!!

Helloooooo all you colour addicts. Guess what?! It's the 15th of the month (or past.. now LOL) and that can only mean one thing!! A brand new challenge over at Designed to Color.

Can I get a "wooohooo"?! You gotta say "woooohooo!! LOL!

You guys already know Carisa is at CHA right now, getting Designed to Color OUT THERE, but back on home turf - the teamies have set up some GIVEAWAYS for our lucky followers. From the 16th through to the 19th there will be a GIVEAWAY each day!! Be sure to stop by the blog to be in with a chance of winning some fantastic stuffs!!

Soo.. our challenge to you this month is..

WASHI TAPE!!

We want to see all the ways you guys interpret it's use. There are soooo many pretty designs out there right now. I don't know about you.. but I want it ALL! It's a shame my bank balance won't allow that, heehee.


So I decided to use some striped and polka dot washi to create a backdrop of sorts on this gorgeous page in my Green SMASH* book. I like to tear the edges of my tape instead of cutting them - just adds a little more character! :)


I've gone down the mint green, soft aqua route. Kinda summery feel. Me thinks. I've coloured Some Odd Girl Tropical Mae with my ProMarkers, I then took three of the colours and stained some Color Me Crazy flowers to match the design. I'm kinda OCD when it comes to colour co-ordinating stuff. That's why it takes me so damn long to even PLAN a SMASH* page!!


Here are the ProMarker and FlexMarker colours I used for this image.
Skin: Saffron, Soft Peach, Rose Peach. Blush and Lips: Baby Pink
Hair: Cinnamon, Cocoa, Walnut, Umber, Black
Eyes: Arctic Blue, Sky Blue, Azure. Eyeshadow: Mint Green, Soft Green
Dress and Flips: Tea Green, Pastel Green, Mint Green, Soft Green
Hibiscus: Soft Lime, Lemon, Pink Lobster, Maroon

So.. what are you waiting for?! Head over to the Designed to Color blog NOW and get involved! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I know you will blow our socks off with your designs!
