ABC Challenge and WOYWW

This week's ABC challenge is T for two images ... so we want to see two images on your card, either images masked or separate, it doesn't matter.  Sentiment stamps don't count ... it has to be 2 images.  We are sponsored by the lovely Dulcie from Wild Rose Studios.
 I went for my Magnolias as I have a feew of the accessory stamps, so Tilda is masked onto the the wheelbarrow of tulips.  I used my promarkers to colour her in.  The dp is Basic Grey Oh Baby Girl, I just LOVE this range, and the gingham is Pink Petticoat.  The flower is from  marianne Creatable die, the ribbon from my stash, and the sentiment is a Craftwork Cards one.
Challenges -
Stamp with Fun - ribbon/lace
Cupcake Craft Challenge - something beginning with C -cute! (I could have said card LOL!!)
 Pink Elelphant - sketch
I love Promarkers - song title (Tulips from Amsterdam)

For Fun Challenges - Spring

OK and its Wednesday so time for a snoop round the lovely Julia's desk and everyone else who wants to join in ... here's my desk this week.

I get lots of tidy comments so I thought I would take a picture mid creating .... but I still look tidy!!!!  I was hoping to get a pic mid creating ... but my mojo has gone walkabout, so I spent the evening colouring.  Now what is bad for me is the fact that the stamp is still on the acrylic block, cleaned, but still not put away!!  I have an image coloured in the background, just need a sketch to use it, and on top of the basket another image I began to colour, but didn't like how the hair turned out.  Hopefully the colouring will be finished later and a card created .. hopefully!!  I love noseying round people's desks ... and have gained some many tips over the weeks ... there are some very generous people out there who are happy to share their tricks with us all.  Thank you to the ladies who emailed with advice during the week :)

Your desk is always tidy. I like that! And I like how you cleaned your stamp, too. I always clean mine, too. I'm sure yours will get put away soon.

You're trying very hard to show us that you're not always neat & tidy but it's clear you are really! hee hee

Very clever use of masking on your card.

Kendra said...

I do the same thing when I can't seem to get any cards put together....there's always coloring! The best thing about that is there's stuff ready when you need it!

Sassylassy said...

Your card is beautiful and your desk area still looks a little tidy LOL
I love that case that holds your pens. I have a few myself and it's easy to cart it around.

There's nothing wrong with a tidy desk! I wish mine was tidier!

Elizabeth said...

Hi Cathy, your card is lovely, the two images look great together. You are going to have to try harder to prove your messy credentials :) And you are so right about the generosity of crafters - never have I met so many people so willing to pass on ideas, techniques and know-how - it's very refreshing. Hope you have a great day. Elizabeth x #38
