Deck The Halls!

I've only just finished this one, I ended up doing the housework whilst Evie was at Preschool, she really cried when I left her, she only started in September and had just settled in when they broke for half term!, I hate leaving her like that but I know she's fine after I've gone!

Anyway back to the card!, another Pink Petticoat image coloured with Prismacolor Pencils, the PP is Basic Grey, the CS a mixture of Provocraft and Bazzill, I really like rich, warm colours for Christmas so I enjoyed making this one.

I added some Stickles glitter which hasn't dried yet, hence the photo rather than scan!, I do love sparkle and shine, It's very rare I make a card without a bit of bling!

That's it for now,

Prismacolor - 1st attempt!

Well, here is my first attempt at colouring an image with Prismacolor pencils, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!

The technique was more time consuming than I thought but hopefully as I practice more it will get easier and quicker.

The image is a Pink Petticoat one, I love this range , there seems to be an image for every occasion! , the PP is DCWV and the CS is Bazzill, I stitched round the base layer and then doodled (did I spell that right, it looks wrong somehow?) round some of the edges.

This card will be for sale on my site TheLilacladybug .

I'm going to try and get some more craft time in tomorrow 'cos Evie is back at Preschool, so hopefully I'll have something else to share soon ... Nicola

Welcome

Hello!

My first post here is mainly to say Welcome!

I have set this blog up in the hope of being able to share some cards, info and general chatter! but also as a way to provide information on my new venture as a Stampin Up! demonstrator!

From the 15th November this gorgeous line of stamps, accessories and much more will be available in the UK, further details on that will follow but for the time being please contact me

if you would like any information about the range or the opportunities.

Anyway on a more personal note, the girls are now in bed so I'm off to try my new Prismacolour pencils, I found out about them through some of the American blogs, the effect they give for colouring stamped images is beautiful, but I think the technique takes a bit of practice!!

I'll try and post the results when I get the hang of it!
