Whiff of Joy

I have finally got round to putting my Whiff of Joy creations on my blog. I love Melinda reading her book, and thought she would work really well with my Sugar Nellie Penpal image.
I have made this card for a very creative friend who loves to read and write letters, poems, short stories, shopping lists!!
I have watercoloured the images and then used a selection of papers from my scraps tray and some ric-rac.

I confess I didn't ink up Melinda's wings for this one!

For this one I had a play with my new Pro markers, and really like the results.

I have used Making Memories papers and added ric rac, lace and wire. The image is rasied up using foam pads. I used the basic elements from one of katharina's sketches. I was going to use flowers for the circle element, but I haven't got any flowers that work with these papers - they look too fussy.

I love this image, a really good image for a boy, and Ellie has lots of boy friends at pre-school.
I love these K and Co Hopscotch papers and think they work really well for boys cards.








I used my Pro markers to colour Oakley and followed one of Katharina's sketches. The papers are English Company I think and I think looking at it now, I am going to add some brads and a peel of just to lift it a bit.

I have never been a big fan of felt pens (something to do with being a teacher I think and kids never colouring well with them. Oh and all the marks on the table that I had to clean so the caretaker wouldn't grumble!!), but I am loving my Pro markers. I just need to practise using them to blend, what a chore, colouring images in!LOL
Off to take Ellie to pre-school and brave the rain. Its a yuck day again here. Hope its better where you are.
