ABC Challenge, WOYWW and a challenge or 2

We are upto to Q and this week we would like to see Quilting or Sewing on your card.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Stamp Fairy.



The winner will received a $9.00 Gift Certificate to use at Stampfairy.com!

I coloured the image using my promarkers and cut him out.  I went round parts of the dp and the image with a white gel pen to represent applique stitching, and added ribbon, ric-rac and a couple of buttons.

OK onto a challenge card ...  This is my Mum's Mothering Sunday Card ...

 I coloured this cute house mousey that I got from Lols using my promarkers.  I added some gloss to the raindrops ...very april showers.  The dp is Basic Grey Orgins and the challenges :
House Mouse and friends - Welcome Spring
Simon Says Stamp - Mothers's day/ girlie
Passion for Promarkers - in the Garden
Papertake weekly - For Mum/girly
Friday Sketcher - Sketch


And as it it Wednesday ... onto my desk ...

Its still a tidy desk as we are all still reccovering from the sickness bug ... just a few images coloured using my new prisma pencils and Maggie in her wellies and umbrella waiting to be turned into a card.   The i-pad is back as Ellie is back at school (thank goodness) and as the weather is nice, Miffy is out prowling.
