Endless Wash day's...

Morning All
I'm making lots of Mother's Day cards at the mo so thought this image called Wash Day from Dr Digi. This is to say Thanks to all those hardworking Mum's out there with endless laundry!

I printed the image onto white and also onto the coloured Papers which I then cut out and paper pieced onto the base image and glued in place.  
I coloured the rest of the image and used a punch to round the corners. I mounted this on to paper from My Favourite things Just Delightful Fun & Frolic collection. I also used a piece from this to cover the base card and used the green spotty paper to die cut the grass using a die from Joy of Crafts.
I tied some red twine around the top and tied a bow which I then added a little heart too which is from Make it Crafty. Finally I used Harold ABC stamps from Lawn Fawn to spell out the "Thanks Mum". 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image
Shading - Cool Grey 1 & 2
Powder Blue to highlight the white.
Buttercup, Pineapple Crush & Sleigh Bells
Leaf Green & Grass
Royal Blue & Prussian
Poppy & Burgundy
Henna, Cocoa & Cinammon
Skin - Usual

Have a great day and I'll see you back here next Sunday for more Mothers Day creations!

Giraffe - For a Child.

There is a new challenge beginning today at I love Promarkers which is sponsored by Kenny K. The theme is For a Child and I have used an image called Giraffe 

 

I have used My Favourite things paper called Wild Things which is full of animal prints -  I thought this was perfect for the Giraffe. I die cut the image using MFT die-namics wonky rectangel stitched frame and over this I added the grass die cut from Joy of crafts which I cut using two different shades of green and layered together. 

I also used my brand new tree dies from Die-namics called Trees in the forest. I love that stitched edge! I used the same green bazzill shades and kraft card for the trunk. 

I stamped the Big hugs from Lawn fawn Big Scripty words and used the matching dies to cut this out. (It was my birthday so I treated myself to some new bits and bobs.. Oops!!) 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Tree leaves -  Leaf green, Green shoots, Chartreuse & Grass.

Trunk - Cinnamon & Cocoa

Giraffe - Buttercup, Pineapple Crush & Sleigh bells with Raw Sienna & Chestnut.

Nose - Carmine & Pastel pink.
