Morning -
I coloured up this image for the Copic Uk Challenge and the theme this month is "Avatar."
This means colouring an image a bit different from what you expect... so blue skin or a green sky or a pink sheep. At first I was bit daunted by the idea but it was actually very liberating.
I have used Wryn's Glasses Tiddly inks and coloured her with blue tone skin and green hair -she was very nearly a smurf!!
I used spotty paper from Echo Park and mounted it on Blue satin card. I used Pebbles greeting on 3d foam to add the "Hi"
I hope you like her and the effect of this challenge. Be great to see you have a go and enter!

Wryn wishes with a pop of colour.
Hello - I finally had a proper go at doing some monotone colouring using W's Copics. I used an image from Tiddly Inks called Wryn Wishes
I kept the card really simple by printing the image big and then mounting her onto red and grey card.
I used a Make It Crafty chipboard XOXO which I coloured with RV29 and W3 into W5 & W7. Finally I used some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen over the top of the chipboard and also a little on the dandelions.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
I hope you like how she has turned out - Im pleased with and the little pop of red colour.

Happy Mothers Day
I know I am a little late posting this card but thats because it only got handed to the Mother -in -law yesterday. (My Mum and Dad are busy sunning themselves on holiday!)
I used this new image from Tiddly Inks called Molly Shares.
I used a My Favourite Things scalloped stitched edged die to cut the edge on the pink and yellow paper from My Favourite Things Bundles of Blossom brights pad. The middle paper panel is from Crate Papers notes and things collection.
I added a large wooden glittered greeting from Hobbycraft and a little pink flower from Petaloo and little pale pink gems.
I used these copics to colour Molly -
Hair - YR31, YR23,E35, E37
Dress - RV10, R81, RV13
Flowers -R35, R37
Leaves -YG11 , YG09
I'm really pleased with how she has turned out and its a pretty simple layout.

Beastie's Birthday
Hello - My first post of 2018! Happy New Year!
I made this card for my Goddaughter's birthday using a digi image called Dark Queen from Tiddly Inks
We always watch the film Maleficent together and this image that I used just reminded me of the film. The film is basically Sleeping Beauty but from the perspective of the Witch and it's really good!! She is the fairy Godmother and calls Sleeping Beauty "Her little Beastie"
I used a Friskars punch on a panel of My Favourite things Pinstripe in purple and I used the grey star paper from Pink Fresh Oh Joy collection which I used a MFT oval die to cut an panel. I added some gold letters and stars from Thickers and I used Lawn Fawn Harolds ABC to stamp "BEASTIE"
OOOO I almost forgot.... this was also the first outing for my new COPICS! I got a set for Christmas and was sold by just the black and Skin colours that I used on this card!! That brush nib just blows all the others away. So I immediately used some Christmas money and bought another 72!! I am still 100+ missing from my collection but... they will be mine!!! (MWAH HA HAH HA ... Evil laughter!)
I still used Promarkers too -
Cool greys
Purple & Wild Orchid
Raw Sienna, Cinnamon & Tan
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Tiddly Inks - Anything Goes with Tiddly Inks
Passion for Promarkers - Make it Digital
Die cut divas - Use something new
Sweet Stamping - Anything New
Love to scrap - Anything Goes
I really love how she turned our and I am definitely (and I did resist for sooo long!!) a convert to Copics - but I still love all my colour choice from my Promarkers!!
See you soon,

Tiddly Inks - Sloth Hugs
Here is my third and final entry into the Tiddly Inks 2:3 Challenge and I had so much fun colouring this image. I have been wanting a long fur to colour for a while after seeing a tutorial by Annabel at Cartway Cards where she showed how to achieve this effect with Prismacolor pencils. And I have to say I am chuffed with how well he has turned out! The image is from Tiddly Inks called Sloth's life.
I used a Kraft card base and added a panel of Fauna paper from Doodlebug. I die cut the image panel with a My Favourite things scalloped stitched edge and tied some twine around the edge before using 3d foam to adhere it with some extra dimension. I coloured some little chipboard heart and the double Hugs word with promarkers. I also used some Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen on the word to give it some extra shimmer.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Passion for Promarkers - ANYTHING GOES
So this will also be entered into the Tiddy inks challenge - Look at this wicked prize!!

Girlie Winterlight Wynn
Hello - I'm back again today to share my second creation for the Tiddly Inks 2:3 Challenge.
This one is for the second theme of Girlie Girl and what could be more girlie that pink, shimmer and gems. It is quite rare for me to do muted tones but I really love the natural and soft look of this using the filigree card base from Papermania. This image from Tiddly Inks is called Winterlight Wishes
I've included a closer picture so you can see the lovely shimmer on the polar bear which I got using a Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen and a little stickles. The ribbon and wooden embellisment are for Hobby craft. The pink background paper is from Pink Fresh Oh Joy collection which I think is my favourite so for Christmas papers.
I coloured the image using promarkers - A little powder blue on the polar bear and Blossom and baby pink on Wynn's clothes. I used warm greys on her hair and the fox.
Just look at this amazing prize... how much fun I could have spending this!!! FINGERS CROSSED!
All for now and Ill be back tomorrow with my last card for the 2:3 challenge.

Northern Lights Polar Bear
Morning - Today's card I have made using an image from Tiddly Inks called Winterlight Wishes.
I have made a card similar to this recently with this Bo Bunny background paper which reminded me of the Northern Lights so was perfect for this image!
The card is a pre-cut Filigree base from Docrafts called the 12 Days of Christmas. I glued the Bo bunny background paper behind base. I attached the coloured image to the base and glue some co-ordinated ribbon across the bottom. I used peel off letters to spell out Mummy and a peel off boarder to shape around the centre which says Merry Christmas. I added loads of bling using gems in the middle of the snowflakes and stickles around the Polar bear to shimmer like Ice.
I used these promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Bear - Frozen Lake & Pastel Blue
Skin - Coral, Soft peach, Blush, Antique white & Baby Pink.
Hair & Fox- Raw Sienna & Chestnut with white pen tips.
Hat - Pale Citrus, Lime Zest & Lime green
Coat - Blue Pearl & Bluebell
Boots - Aquamarine & Oasis.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Tiddly Inks - holly & jolly
A gem of a challenge - Christmas
Crafty Calendar - Let it snow
Crafty friends - ATG.
Sweet stamping - Merry Christmas
Inky Impressions - Non tradtional Christmas colours.

Time for tea.
Morning all - Its TIME for another challenge - in fact is Challenge #291Time at I Love Promarkers.
I used this lovely image from Tiddly inks image called Alice - time for tea.
It was nice to make a bright and summery card amidst all the black of Halloween creations and Autumnal colours of brown and orange.
To make this card I used a Spellbinders nestibilities to die cut a frame from mirri card. The background paper is from Echo Park Country Drive range. I added a small blue bow which i tied from my stash of ribbon and looped a little yellow twine around the middle. The greeting - which you can't really read very well on the picture, says "TIME FOR CAKE" and is from a pack of Dovecraft toppers called Cupcake boutique. I added a white paper flower and glued a yellow resin flower in the middle to mirror the pattern on the paper. The two smalled blue flowers are buttons which I glued a yellow homemade enamel dot into the middle of.
I used these Promarkers and Flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair - Buttercup, pineapple crush, Canary, Sleigh bells & Raw Sienna.
Dress - Cloud blue, Colbalt blue & China Blue.
I also used Ice grey 1 & 2 along with some silver pen and glaze on the clock face.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Polkadoodles - Use a die cut (w)
Digi Chooseday - Birthday (W)
Doodle Panty - ATG (M)
Craftyhazelnus Pattern Paper - ATG (M)
All for now blog chums.

Autumn Leaves
Morning - This post is my latest creation for the DT at I love Promarkers. The theme this week is
Autumn and I have used this image from Tiddly Inks called Wryn's Leaves.
I love the Autumn colours - although not quite my usual bright schemes - they are still so colourful. I have used 3 different sheets of paper and they are all from Simple Stories collection, ironically called I Heart Summer - they are very warm shades but still perfect for Autumn.
I die cut 3 leaves from some different colour paper scraps and I used a little hole punch to tie them together with twine, which I then tied in a bow on the button (As always from my stash of buttons & ribbon). The greeting is from Jillibean Soup and was a perfect colour match. I also added a few enamel dots from My Minds Eye Jubilee collection. I hand cut the wave and used a corner rounder (is that a word??) on the image panel and based Kraft card.
I used these promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour Wryn -
Skin - Antique white, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair - Chestnut & Raw Sienna.
Leaves - Grass & Forest, Summer Sun & Sleigh Bells, Honeycomb & Spice, Lime Zest & Lime Green, Pesto & Olive, Maroon & Burgundy.
Pile of leaves - Mixture of the above colours as well as Soft Khaki.
Background - Khaki, Icicle & Ivory.
Dog - Warm Greys.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Make the day Special - Colour choice 1
Clear it out - Autumn / stash - Leaves.
Creative Card Crew - Fall.
Dream Valley - Autumn colours.
Our Crafty corner - Autumn Colour.
The Kraft Journal - Take your pick.
Digidesigns - Fabulous Fall.

Harry Potter
There is a new challenge today at I Love Promarkers and the theme is to use More than 3 Layers.
I have had this image from Tiddly Inks but never quite known what to use it for, but then I was asked to make a birthday card for a young Lady called Jade who is turning 13yrs. She loves Harry Potter and this Wizard and Wizardette digi was perfect to put together to be the three famous characters. The card is from her brother so it couldn't be too mushy or girlie. I hope this is the exact balance with a bit of pink and glitter.
The background is from Mambi Paper which is lovely with a green foil effect and I die cut the Banner using a Die-namics Die cut from Simple Stories DIY Boutique range. I added the Black gem swirls which are from Hobbycraft and some Cosmic Shimmer and glaze to the
Letters are from Doodlebug and The green glitter card is also from Doodlebug. The Enamel dots are ones I made myself by melting Perle beads. (This was so easy to do - just google it!)
I got the big glittery resin owl from Ebay - Im not sure what make he is but he is fab!!
The promarkers and Flexmarkers I used are -
Scarves - Red Sweater, Burgandy & Mustard & Sleigh Bells.
Cloaks & shoes - Cool greys.
Trousers - Warm Greys
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Harry's Hair - Warm Greys and Umber
Hermione's Hair - Sandstone, Cappucino, Cocoa & Henna
Ron's Hair - Spice, Burnt Orange,
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -/craftyourpassionchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ - ATG
CCEE Stampers - Harry Potter.
Creative card Crew - Banner / flag
All from me for now,

Mother's Day.
Mother's Day always demands some special cards - and I think each one should be unique. So here is this years selection ...
I made this one using Stamping Bella with Echo Park "Here & Now" paper. I edged the paper with peel offs (Retro - not used Peel offs for Donkeys years.) Whilst on the peel off roll... I used Peel off letters also, along with some sparkly Black letter stickers from Hobbycraft. I also added some black gem swirls from Hobbycraft too. I used a little glaze on the drinks cup and some stickles for the shopping bags which I paper pieced together to get different textures and colours. I added a little ribbon to finish it off and kept it fairly simple.
This card uses a brand New Tiddly Inks image - called Wynn - Have a Heart, coloured as always with Promarkers. The paper is from collection of "Valentine" from Recollection. I used a coordinating page and die cut a doillie to keep the theme of paper cuts going. I glazed and added some glitter to the little hearts. The greeting is from Craftworks card which I colour matched to the background. I added some glittery Martha Stewart flowers and a few flat backed pearls to give some extra sparkle.
The Promarkers I used are -
Hair - Spice (Very darkest shadow), Pineapple Crush, Buttercup, Vanilla,
Skin -Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush, Antique White.
Dress - Carmine, Magenta & Baby Pink.
Hair - Cocoa, Henna and Cinnamon.
Skin -Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush, Antique White.
Ironing board - Icicle blue & Powder Blue.
I also used Buttercup, Vanilla and Ivory to create the background haze.

I also used Buttercup, Vanilla and Ivory to create the background haze.

The papers are from a 6X6 pad I've had for a while from S.E.I called Sunny Day and I used 3 different patterns , which I mounted on black to make it pop.
I added a selection of flowers - the big yellow is from Prima, the smaller paper flowers are from Petaloo and I added a couple of co-ordinating resin flowers and gems.
By the way I don't have 4 Mums! Just the one...Hope you like them all and that the Mums they were made for loved them too.
I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges -

The Kat's Whiskers.
Our friends Katherine and Kieran are just building a new business - a cattery in Manchester called The Kat's
Whiskers. This place will be utter luxury for a cat - with glitter balls
and running water fountains! So I made them a Good Luck card using a
Tiddly Inks image.
The card uses the American Crafts Thickers to spell out "Good Luck". The images are all Tiddly Ink and coloured with Promarkers, The greeting and additional cat are also Tiddly Inks and were die cut with a star. I added a wooden moustache and some red star gems.
All for now folks. Be back soon (:(|)x

The logo is fab and hopefully makes some sense of the Moustache on the card!.

The final Christmas Catch up!
The final catch up...then I'm ready to start a fresh... So lets get straight on!
These two cards are made from Digital images from Pink Petticoat. I kept them clean and simple with a simply die cut image layered on some glittered Velum. I added some gems and ribbon and kept it at that! I think they look really effective.
I wanted to focus on the singing and music elements of this Tiddly Inks image which I made for Nan - who loves her Bingo and almost every card I make her I try to get the bingo reference in!
This card uses Lawn Fawn stamped image and Paper smooches greeting. The paper is from Doodlebug. I used a Spellbinders snowflake with Glittery cardstock and some glitter gems.
I've had the October Afternoon background paper since last Christmas and wanted to make full use of the lovely images - so kept this pretty simple. The greeting just seemed to match this stamped image from The Greeting Farm that I coloured with Promarkers. I added some ribbon and gems as they are obligatory!!!
I love this Stamping Bella image in Traditional Christmas red and Green. I used the Doodlebug Holly Sprinkles and paper with a lovely grey ribbon. These Images really don't need loads to make them look ace.
I love this card... think its one of my favourites. Its a stamped image from Stamping Bella which I added a little colour to. I used my Brown Wink Of Stella pen to colour the wooden greeting as it was to pale. The Papers and stickers are from Websters Page which I think was my favourite collection from this Christmas. I added some pearly swirls and a big piece of bling (Which needed lots of Silicon to attach it!) It's not a traditional Christmas card but think it's really magical.

Mothers day Cards
Sorry the light is a bit dodgy on this photos but I really wanted to show up the sparkle so had to use the lamp. I LOVE the Doodlebug glitter used on her tail. It is made up of tiny little discs so is perfect for scales! The image is from Tiddly Inks -This is the first time I've coloured her up but will defo be using her much more often! I've also been using my Silhouette Cameo... the background is a digital cut wave pattern and so is the seaweed boarder. I've added a load of gems and some foam Thickers letters.
This is SOG Super Mae - I made this for a young teenage boy to give to his mum for Mothers Day. I used die-namics City scape and the hearts background. Both images were coloured with Promarkers and the greeting was created with letters from Doodlebug.
This card uses my latest Stamping Bella Uptown girl stamp coloured (as always ) with my Promarkers. I added a couple of Prima flowers but kept it fairly simple as the background is so busy. I cut the frame and letters using the Silhouette - I'm getting the hang of the machine now.
This was the card I made for my Mum - we have a pooch like this called Bertie.
I used the Silhouette to cut this silhouette of the dog and used the letters I had cut from the other card to add on this one. I then just added a couple of gems.
I had to put a picture of him in too! This is him peering through some stair railings. He is a Cairn Terrier and has a lovely gentle nature.

Photoshop elements and watermarks.
Evening all,
The Oth'half bought me Photoshop Elements for my laptop and taught me yesterday how to watermark my photos. He'd always done it for me before on his all singing & all dancing Photoshop but a quick search on You tube for how to do it on Elements 11 - and I was all set up.
So hopefully all my pictures for now on will be edited to perfection and watermarked to stop any sneaky digital thieves claiming my pictures as there own. (Although I'm not really sure what they would use them for??) I just need to find the right location now to photograph them in so they have the best light. So without further ado... here are a few more creations to be showcased...

I made this card using the Some Odd Girl digital image of Tia coloured with Promarkers. Ava had just become a big sister to Baby brother Max. I kept it clean and simple with some flowery ribbon and Doodlebug lettering. Added a heart shaped button and some dots of liquid pearls to finish it off.
I made this one for my gorgeous Goddaughter Lucy. She has recently started ballet and loves wearing her tutu as much as she loves Pink. I can't believe she is 3 already! The digital image is from Whimsy Doodles and coloured with Promarkers, I added some pink heart gems and paper shapes on the main section of the card and on the valley fold added a large hand cut "3" and a Happy Birthday greeting from Pebbles. (http://www.whimsiedoodles.com)
I made this card for a commission. I loved the way it came out! The image is from Tiddly Inks coloured with Promarkers and some die cut glittery clouds. The large number 3 was hand cut from American Crafts paper and attached to this cool shaped card. I added some Doodlebug lettering, ribbons and gems to finish it off.
I actually added a Happy Birthday greeting on to this card but took the photo beforehand for some reason that now escapes me! I printed off several copies of this digital image to cut and layer like decoupage. I uses Echo Park dot papers and loved the colours of pink and aqua together. The ribbon is from Tilda that I got as a bargain at Hobbycraft. I die cut the letters from the same paper and added some stickles to make the water splashes sparkle. Finally, I mounted it onto pink Ombre paper and used a Letraset fine nib pen to add stitch effect details.
All for now Monkeys,

Only a month since Christmas...
I can't believe Christmas was only a month ago... seems ages ago since we had all the family round. We had a real push to get a few rooms done in the house - particularly the bedroom as until then the wardrobes had been in the dining room. You don't really want to be sitting eating your mince pies surrounded by socks and shoes.
Anyway enough drivel from me... the purpose of this post is to show the last few Christmas cards I made - which as always are for my family! My own cards are normally the ones completed about a day before the event!! Ill share a little secret too... some of these still weren't finished when I photographed them - as you will see many were missing the greetings as I couldn't decide who I was sending which card.
The first two are images from Tiddly Inks coloured as always with Promarkers.
The next three images are Some Odd Girl. The first I made for my other half who normally goes without due to my lack of organisation!
This next image is from a Polly Doodles CD Rom. I added a big red Merry Christmas underneath the twine but I forgot to photograph it before I sent it!
The final two are from Bugaboo digital images. They have a great range and I loved this onesie - it went so well with my Doodlebug papers.
Can't wait to share my latest Valentines cards with you.
Speak soon, Liz x

I'M BACK!
WOW - I'm back!!!
What a busy year 2013 was for me... mainly taken up with all-sorts of changes at work and moving house!. The house needed (and still needs) a lot of work but just before Christmas I got my craft room all set up... Its FAB! Bit less room than the last one so I've had a really good sort out and given away tons and tons of stuff to crafty friends. Its dark now but I will post a picture soon to show you my turquoise and red colour scheme.
So now I am back with a vengeance!! I have a couple of missions....
1) Learn how to schedule posts in advance so if i'm busy I can write a post in advance...
2)Get all my photos sorted and posted...
3)Link up to my Pinterest account and create a board of my creations.
4)Be more organized!
So that said I'm going to upload a load of new card images that I've not posted before and link them to my Pinterest Board - which is a slight obsession of mine at the mo! Lets hope I do this right!!
Some are clean and simple but many are full of gems, ribbons, flowers and sparkle. Hope you like them.... (:(|)x
