Spring lamb

Over on the sketch-saturday blog Tracie has made a great sketch to follow. This was such a nice quick sketch to follow.

I used one of my new Sugar nellie stamps for this one and what a cutie it is drawn by Elizabeth Bell. The paper is K&co behind. The strip on the right hand side is plain card that I have used one of the rollagraphs from Imagination-crafts with a versamark pad and mica powders dusted over.
Materials used

Stamp: Sugar nellie

Whiff of joy meets sugar nellie

My mojo seems to be on holiday this week and I had abit of a struggle on my hands today getting this card to gel. I say this card but it is really these cards as there are 3 cards that are the same.......or are they.
I am joining in with the Whiff-of-joy challenge blog, Heather has made a lovely sketch for us all to follow. I used the stump from the WOJ spring kit and teamed it up with my sugar nellie stamp. I made some of the backing papers using the rollagraphs I got from imaginations-crafts and highlighted them with the mica powders that are exclusive to them. I also coloured the flowers with the mica powders.

Okay if you are still with me at this point on to the fact that these cards all look the same but are not. I have used different mediums to colour the images with the first closeup shows the image coloured with my inkadink inks that are from imagination-crafts and they did say they where new. I don't think they are on the web site yet. The second image is coloured with my prisma pencils which I haven't used for so long and thought it would be nice to dust them off. The last image is coloured with my copic pens which are fast to colour with. Would love to know which is your favourite its just interesting to see the difference in the finish with the different mediums.

Hey chick!!

Wow, I don't know where the time goes. Well a little bit of an exaggeration there as things are still a bit hectic with us and as ever its the down time that suffers, anyway I have managed to get around to playing with somethings that I got at the SECC Hobbycraft show in Glasgow.

I have coloured this image with some inks from imagination-crafts. They are similar to the distress inks but can be used the same as the Alcohol inks also. They have 12 colours and they are all inter blendable to make lots of colours. I have coloured the small flowers with the inks also.

The other thing is that they have neat mica powders that you can add to your inks while in the bottle, paint with them on their own or dust over projects like I have here. I stamped the swirls with black ink and then highlighted areas with my versamark pen and then dusted with the mica powders to make them more of an antique gold.

I am joining in with the guys on friday-sketchers Mumur has made a wonderful sketch for us to follow.

The beads on the flower are real fresh water pearls and they add abit of bling to the card. I have 3d glazed the sentiment to make it stand out abit more, apperantly a trade mark of mine as some of my friends have said.
