Simon Says Challenge

Here is a sketch that I did from Simon Says Stamps.
I have been playing with all types of colouring mediums at the moment. This card was done using Derwent pencils and a blending pen. Must say...I am not sure if that is my favourite technique.
The stamp is Tara and is from Victoria Case. Only just found these the other day, and love them.
I used Kaiser PP and Glossy Accents to hightlight the wings.

Whiff of Joy Challenge

Here is a card I made for the WOJ Challenge this week. I used the Basic Grey Bittersweet range of PP again! I am just addicted to the stuff!

Painting with Liquid Pearls

Ok, I found this really exciting. The new Thinking Inking classes this week covered Liquid and Dimentional Pearls and Stickles. We learn't how to paint with them when you add water. I also added some Perfect Pearls to add different colours.
Have made this card for my Omi who is in Hospital at the moment after having a Stroke earlier this week.

First time playing with Alcohol Inks

So I was playing with Alcohol Inks yesterday for the first time ever (kindly lent to me by the lovely Ros). Definitely a new technique that I enjoyed playing with. Here is a card I made with some of my bits and pieces. I think I have enough bits to make a dozen cards!

Friday Sketches Challenge

Here is a quick card I made for the Friday Sketches Challenge.

I used Kaiser papers, Tim Holtz Distress ink and the cute little Mouse Image is from a Scrap Pile swap we did recently.
