Sketch 1 -
Basic Grey Challenges - sketch
Totally Gorguss - wings
Crafts and Me - distressing
Magical Crafts - metal
Sweet Pea Stampers - A sprinkling of fairy dust
Passion for Promarkers - Anything goes
I coloured the image in using promarkers, and having watched Michele's tutorial I have changed my technique, and am liking the results. I cut her out and then distressed the edges using starlight black - a fab ink as it has a shimmer to it. I added some shimmer to her hair and dress using a sakura pen and then some stickles to the moon and edges of the mat. I used the starlight black ink to stamp the borders on the triangles and then added some fab transparent ribbon I have ... it is like bra elastic!!! And then I added some ric rac. The flowers are glimmered and glamoured.Here is a closer look at the shimmer effect from the sakura pen and starlight ink .
Sketch 2
Friday Sketcher - sketch
Just Magnolia- hot and spicy
Magnolia Down Under - flowers
Passion for Promarkers - Anything Goes
Crafts and Me - distressing
Cupcake Card Challenges - Summer time
I coloured the image using my promarkers ... I need to practise oranges!!! I distressed the background in distress inks - wild honey and broken china. Hot and spicy was a bit of a challenge, until I remembered these DCWV - I think they are hot and spicy. I added twisted raffia and some flowers with buttons in the centre, and that cute little starfish charm.And finally Sketch 3

Cute Card Thursday - no patterned papers
Allsorts - black, white + 1
I love the LOTV bears, they are just so cute! I coloured it using weathered wood, black soot and marigold distress ink. I kept the background simple, using CB embossing folders, layered ribbon and a cute bow.So that was Sunday for you!!!!
It is my birthday today so we;ve been to Chester Zoo for the day ... and are all shattered now!!
I will be back later or tomorrow with my cards and pressies, and some zoo piccies.
