This week's challenge is
Thank you.
And we are lucky to be being sponsored by
Whimsy Stamps.
Denise is offering a $15.00 gift certificate.
She has recently launched some new digi stamps and some of the DT have been playing with them.
So for this challenge I have made a card and a scrap page.
For the card I used the new digi stamp Aww So Tweet and coloured it using my pens. I used my CB Olivia font to cut the Thanks out. The papers are Basic Grey Porcelin and the ribbon is from my stash. The flower is from Prima's gold Christmas bauble and I added stickles to the image. I am sending this to a lovely couple as their wedding acceptance ... need to get a move on as their wedding is in May!!!!
Beth had a great time at my parents' at Easter feeding the lambs and we got some fabulous pictures of her .. so I had to make a scrap page ... something I really need to do more of! I used Tilda with her lamb as given half a chance that would be Beth! I did some journalling using the nursery rhyme Mary had a little lamb, but didn't add any embellies as I don't want to take away from the photos.
I have a confession to make before I go ... I am becoming a terrible blogger due to a lack of free time, and am struggling to find time to craft and blog. I am coming to the conclusion that something in my life has to give ... crafting, garden, children ... not sure which yet LOL!!

Colouring Media: Distress inks; promarkers and copics (secret Crafter)

I love this image .. that huge hat, the little apple and big eyes!!! he is coloured using my pens, and I coloured Woodware chippies using my pens too.
I used my pens to colour and kept the layout quite simple ... couldn't resist the BG Porcelin bird cage papers!!! Ohh and I had to add a feather .. hubby hinks that is a bit sick!!

I love these manga stamps from the Secret Crafter and have coloured Mollie using my promarkers. I followed the sketch from Papertake Weekly, just swapping the text for a flower. I stamped the sentiment down the side of the image. Its from a papermania Clare Curd set, and I have to admit to being dissappointed, it never stamps crisply, even though I have cleaned it, selloptaped it etc to try to get a crsip image.
I love this Manga stamp from Secret Crafter and coloured her using my pens. I inked the edges in red and then matted her onto white cardstock. I struggle to use Boxer papers so bit the bullet and used them on this card. I matted the dp onto white cardstock. I added a layered flowers, white ribbon and bow, and gems.
I love these Manga Stamps from the SecretCrafter. I used my promarkers to colour the image in and then to make the background .. I am experimenting a bit with my blennder pen, so I used it to take some of the dark off the background. I embossed some read cardstock using my hearts embossing folder and added some satin and organza ribbon and some chunky braid. i tried other embellies but didn't like the look, so another flowerless card!
I used this fab stamp by Wendy from The Secret Crafter, and coloured her in using my pens. I kept the layout simple and used paler co-ordinating cardstock to mat. Mollie is cut out using my deckled rectangles. I coloured the flowers using my pens, and after some deep rummaging found matching ribbon.
I pleated some fabric I had in my scraps box and stitched it onto a band of organza ribbon. This is another of Wendy's fabulous Manga stamps. She is coloured using my penss and matted onto yellow cardstock. I punched a couple of flowers and added gems to the middle.
