Green ... and wings

 Ellie is proper poorly with gastroenteritis and the GP has recommended keeping her off all week ... eek!!!!!
She slept for two and a half hours this morning, and for another hour this afternoon, so I got some crafting done LOL!


 I am still playing with my aquamarkers, and colored this cute Tilda using celery.  I have been using a tile and putting my colour in there first, a bit like I do when colouring using distress inks, but for this one I put it directly on the image and shaded.  hmmm going to need to practise more ... what a shame LOL!  Anyway I used papers from BG Koishi and matted them onto white cardstock.  I made the shaped card blank using a Go Kreate die and then added some flowers from my stash.
 It fits these challenges:
Cupcake Craft Challenge - wings and green
 Totally Papercrafts Challenge - shaped card
 Stamp with Fun - sketch
 Wild Orchid Challenges - Dieing to punch it out
 Paperplay Challenge - Shades of Green/good luck
Allsorts Challenge - Luck of the Irish (shades of green)

This is stunning!! thats what i do with the aquamarkers sweetie. It mean you can pick up just a little colour at a time. Love this card. I couldn't get to grips with applying the marker directly onto the paper! Maybe try it again when i get a minute!

Luv ya
