Translucence from Crafts and Me

Hi there Everyone!!

As you may be aware Crafts and Me just released a whole bunch of new Images... like they do on every 1st of the month - but I must say that I actually really really love these ones just that little bit MORE this month!!

My first one to show you is called Translucence and she is designed by Sara Burrier.  I just love this image so much, so magical and floaty and the birds added in just seem to add more and more to this stunner.  

Anyway I have tried to colour her in softer colours, using the E01 and E02 as my pale pink, I tried also to get some white happening but I think I was a little heavy handed with my C's in a couple of places LOL... Anyway here is my Translucence hope you love her as much as me:-) 


I've also added a chippy butterfly to my card which I painted with some Crackle Paint, and I also sprayed my whole image with some Glimmer Mist.  There is a bunch of Glimmer Mists available in the store right now.

Don't forget that there is a brand new challenge just started over here, make sure you add your entries you just might be this week's winner!!!

Till next time

Sketch Challenges #35 (I'm just very very late!!)

Hi There!!

Well I was meant to have done this like over a week ago..... but I guess a few things just got in my way and to be totally honest - I really didn't feel like making anything!  You know what I mean?

Anyway over at Sketchy Challenges Kathrin has created another super AWESOME sketch for you all to play along with, it only has a few more days to go, so get your entries in quick for a super prize from Live and Love Crafts!!

For my card I have made a get well card for our builder, who has recently had a bit of bad luck in the health department. Anyway, hopefully he thinks it's a bit funny and will help put a smile on his face:-)  So here is my card I hope you all love it as much as me:-)


My image is from Mo Manning, and my rub-ons are some that I have had for ages, and of course I totally love them, but they are just about all gone :-( I really hope Doodlebug Mixed Up rub-ons are still available... because I would love to have some more!!!  oh and I do think there is a Cricut Cartridge that is very similar too, so I might have to see if I can track that one down:-)

So there you go, I hope you will all come along and play - for those who can in only a few days left, but remember that there will be another super awesome sketch for you to play with on Saturday!!!

Till next time
Karen
