Gosh ... 2 more cards this week!

I had a few failures on the colouring front last night, but thankfully managed to find my colouring mojo today!! Before i share my cards with you, can I ask if you would take a trip to my daughter Ellie's blog to see the creations she has made for her teachers .. .she loves to get comments on her blog, so please take a minute to make her day.

I love LOTV stamps and am slowly getting quite a collection so I have used their sketch challenge to make this birthday card for one of Ellie's friends.

This cute little boy is coloured in using my promarkers and copics. The papers are by Smirk and I added a tag I found floating at the bottom of my embellishment basket. I used card candy to finish it off.

I have been working on the Stampin' for the Weekend recipe challenge for a week now .. and have finally got round to finishing it!! I have combined it with the Trully Scrumptious sketch and Wags n Whiskers stitching challenges.
Danni and Bella are coloured using promarkers and copics, and I cut them out using my nesties and inked the edges. I added glamour dust to Bella's hat and stocking. The ribbon is recycled from a huge basket of smellies I got ages ago, and I added gems to the flowers rather than charms. All the papers are faux stitched using white gel pen.

I am off to do the school run, followed by playing at a friend's house, and then to the Pre-school supervisor's leaving do.
