A couple of challenges and a few lambs

We have 6 lambs by the house now ... its a case of moving sheep around as lambs are born. Beth has recovered fromn Number 5 leaving as Number 1 is here with her 2 lambs that are very, very friendly .. as you can see!!
This is the little boy (sadly too many boys in this years flock:() and he would love to move inside with us. I have some fab pics of Beth with the lambs ... you will see them in the near future!! Ellie is not so confident round the sheep ... the ewes are chunky and hav ea tendency to push if allowed.

Anyway I have torn myself away from the fields and made a couple of cards today with images I coloured last night. Oh and got a few challegnes under my belt!!
This card covers these challenges:
Sweet Stamping - its a man's world
Passion for Promarkers - The Young Ones
A Spoonfull of Sugar - One for the Boys
Simon Says Stamp - Card for a child
Everybody Art Challegne - sketch
This is one of Wendy's fab Manga stamps, Jake with Football... if you haven't seen them you really need to take a peek. I coloured it in promarkers (from Wendy) and the dp is Smirk and cardstock. I cut a couple of images from the dp to make 'brads'.


My Second card covers these challenges:
Totally Papercrafts - digi image
Papertake Weekly - sketch
Cupcake Challenge - homemade flowers
I coloured this Elizabeth Bell digi image in using my promarker and copics. I followed the sketch over at Papertake Weekly and matted the layers onto lilac cardstock. The flowers are made using EK Success punches and a bit of layering. I added some ribbon, a bow and some gems.

I am ahaving a quite evening in front of the telly ... busy day tomorrow getting ready for Mum's birthday on Friday ... Ellie and Beth will be posting things on their blog .. please take a peek, they are very proud!
