A splash of blue

Good morning!  Dinner last night went really well at the boss's house.  They loved the NZ lamb shanks... phew!   I was a bit worried as they have told me before that they don't really like the taste of lamb, but I think they really just don't like their lamb rare, so slow cooked lamb shanks was a good solution.

I have a small card to share today that I made for the Do You Stack Up challenge this week which is A Splash of Blue.  This is an 11cm x 11cm card rather than my usual 14.5cm x 14.5cm.

The papers are a mixture from Jilly Bean Soup, Bo Bunny and maybe Echo Park.  The seam binding is from The Ribbon Girl and the button is from my stash.  The sentiment is from LOTV.  This little fairy is a clear stamp from Pergamano and I affectionately think of her as the loo fairy as she really looks like she's sitting on the loo to me.  

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:

Do You Stack Up #46: A Splash of Blue

Here's a close up of the 'loo' fairy:

I coloured this one a while ago and I can't find my photo of the copics I used sorry....

Have a lovely day!

Mad for Markers big Copical blog hop!

Hello and welcome to the Mad for Markers BIG Copical blog hop! We are excited today to be hopping around the blogworld with bloggers from all over the world who all LOVE colouring with COPICS! 

If you came here from Ashlee's blog then you are right on track, if not then please go to Sammi's blog to start at the beginning!

Here is my card:

This is one of the very cute and whimsical Pergamano fairies.  I must say though that as cute as they are, I haven't had great success stamping with these stamps so far... I went over the lines of this one with a copic multiliner.  

The papers are from Crate Paper from a lovely kit I purchased from The Craft's Meow.  I cut the sentiment tag with my Slice machine and the buttons and lace are from my local emporium/junk shop at home in NZ.  I coloured the image with copics (see details below).  The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and I have added Stickles to the wings of the fairy.  And there you have it!

Once you have completed the hop please leave a comment and vote for your favourite creations... and you and the person you voted for might receive a little surprise prize!!

But to get there make sure you follow the hop and leave some love for all the participants... your next stop is Jan Hunnicutt's blog.

Here are the copics I used:

Have a colourful day!
