Curse of the Were Rabbit

Evening all. After a horrid few days with a head cold, a migraine and feeling a bit bleurgh, I’ve had and evening of catching up on the Season 3 boxset of Nashville and colouring in, so it’s just a quick post before bed.

Love to Craft

Evening all. It’s the first of the month and we have a new  challenge starting over at the All Dressed Up FB Group. Our theme for the month is HEARTS.

I went bright bright bright on the colours for this one and what was I thinking when I started fussy cutting the image?? The sentiment was a little hard to cut out!

Supplies:

Wryn goes Caroling

Morning all! I’m going to be like a bus this morning. I’ve been posting a little less as it’s December and there is so much other stuff to do and enjoy, but  have 3…yes you read that right…3 pots to share today. Lol!

So first up it’s time for our last for Tiddly Tuesday of 2015 over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog. Our new theme is Merry Berry and here is my take on it using Wryn goes Caroling:



I was reasonably organised with m cards this year and managed to get them all made it time. I thought instead of making a head start on next years cards I would make myself a little Christmassy page for my colouring journal.

Supplies:

• Image: Wryn Goes Caroling by Tiddly Inks 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Black and White Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• DP: First Edition ‘Christmas Village’ 6x6 Paper Pad
• Dies & Punches: Go-Kreate Large Oval Dies
• Sentiment: Clearly Besotted
• Ink: Memento ‘Tuxedo Black’ Inkpad
• Embellishments: Ribbon, Pearls, Gems, Paper Flowers, Doodling and TH Chit-Chat Stickers

Hope you can play along with us and thank you  for stopping by.

Bite Me!

Morning all. All that keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed has paid off as I’m very lucky and honoured to be joining the Tiddly Inks Girls for another 4 month stint….whoop whoop….happy dance

Anyhoo, the point of my post is that it’s time for another Fab Friday post over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.

I love to make cards with my Tiddlys but up until now one hasn’t made it into my journal. Well all that has changed with this fabulous image Vamp Me.  I’m reading the Sookie Stackhouse books at the moment (I’m on book 10 of 13) and watching the TV series based on them (True Blood) so I thought this would be perfect for a journal page.

When I think of vampires I think of rich colours and old things, leather furniture, stuff like that so I thought this embossed background suited the image perfectly.

Supplies:

• Image: Vamp Me from Tiddly Inks 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Purple, red and white card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Ink: Dusty Concord Distress Inkpad
• Dies, Punches & Embossing Folders: Go Kreate Large Circle Dies and Couture Creations Tied Together Embossing Folder
• Embellishments: Lace, Ribbon, Pom Pom Trim, Pearls and Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers

Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by

Li’l Lilian

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Can you believe we are heading into April tomorrow? The year just seems to be flying by.

I’m feeling a tad sorry for myself today as I’ve got a sinus and throat infection, so after the school run I may just put my feet up, have a rest and do a little colouring…..the house work can wait…lol!

Anyhoo, enough waffle! I’ve made another page for my colouring journal. This one uses the Li’l Lilian Digi Stamp from Elisabeth Bell:

I’m trying out some new hair colour combinations, as since changing to Copics a few months back I’ve been sticking to browns and blondes. This is a nice vibrant red, maybe a little brighter than I was aiming for, but I like it anyway. It uses E49, E08, R08 and R02. 

Supplies:

• Image: Li’l Lilian from Elisabeth Bell 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• DP: Lili of the Valley ‘Petal Fresh’ 8x8 Paper Pad
• Card: Blue and Pale Blue card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: EK Success Border Punch, Spellbinder Plain and Big Scalloped Ovals.
• Embellishments: Pearls, Paper Flowers, Tim Holtz Chit Chat Stickers, Ribbon and doodling/faux stitching with a blue fineline pen.
