You can see all the details on how to get her on our All Dressed Up Facebook Page...

Think Happy Thoughts

Morning -  For todays card I have coloured Commuter Colin from Dr Digi. There is so much going on in this image so I kept the card really simple.
I covered the base card with Black & white striped paper from My Favourite things and then die cut the image using My Favourite things stitched wonky rectangle die.
I stamped a greeting from Mama Elephant and mounted this onto red and used 3d foam to attach it to the card. I used some silver pen to add detail and a few card candy from Craftworks card.

I used so many copics that I didn't even try to keep track of which ones! I figure with this one - just play and see what happens!

Have a lovely day - I am actually on the second day of a copic colouring course with Faye Wynn Jones and the Dies to Die For shop - So I will be learning lots of fab new combos and techniques to share with you!

Derek Clapton

Morning - How are you all doing in the snowy weather and storms... I know its been horrendous for so many but we have had so little of the extreme weather - I feel a bit aggrieved that we have had hardly any of it and not much snow!! But seriously I hope you are all staying safe and using the terrible cold to remain inside and create...

So this week I have coloured Derek Clapton and teamed him with some music themed paper and a greeting from Pebbles. We all know that special person who loves to air guitar to there favourite music.  

I used these copics to colour Derek -

Hope you like this card and stay safe in the cold snow and ice.
