Hey There Lil' Cowboy (TPS)

Morning - this weeks new challenge at The Paper Shelter 
is just beginning and the theme is ribbons and buttons. Ive used an image called Lil' Cowboy 
and he was real fun to  colour. I hope you don't mind me using Die Cut buttons but these little stars just seemed to match the image and the demin, wood and Gingham. 

I used Copics to colour the image and the stamp is from a Paper Smooches set.
I hope you will all join in the challenge and show us your fab creations!

The Paper Shelter in Paris

Morning -
Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme is .Holiday Time. I have used this fab image called Si Belle!
I went with a city break to Paris rather than a beach Holiday! You can never rely on the weather!!!

The paper I have used is from Carta Bella Metropolitan Girl and I decided to do this card around the paper. The Eiffle Tower embellishment is from Wycinanka which I covered with glaze and then Cosmic Shimmer. I cut some American Crafts ribbon across the bottom and added some red buttons.
I used promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Usual
Hair - Cool Greys
Chair - Sandstone, Cinnamon & Raw Sienna
Shoes and scarf - Red, Ruby and Burgundy
Top and Beret - Cadet Blue, Powder blue & Colbalt blue,
Table - Ivory & Buttercup

Hope you will play along and share your creations

Beach Boy from Tiddly Inks

Hello - Here is my card using Tiddly inks image called My Beach Boy. I loved colouring this image as it just screams being bright and cheery! I thought the image really didnt need to much extra and just to let it be centre stage!

 I cut two panels from patterned paper -  My Favourite things - Just delightful dots & stripes & Amy Tangerine Stitched meadow. I mounted both on black card and then die cut the Beach boy using a My Favourite things wonky stitched rectangle die. The Happy birthday was die cut using a Paper smooches die on blue card and finally I added a couple of co-ordinating buttons. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image-

Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Satin. 

Hair -  Cinnamon, Cocoa, Burnt Sienna & Henna. 

Vest - Frosted Jade, Island Lagoon & Turquoise. Lemon & Canary

Shorts - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy.

I think the very making of this card brought out the sunshine... fingers crossed it stays for a while... and No - it is never too hot for me!!
