Here is my first card since injuring my thumb in my guillotine. Wow was it painful!! Its still not completely healed, but its getting there. The nail will obviously take longer to grow back, but it could have been worse.
This is an image that I purchased from Kit & Clowder as part of their Craft for Clearwater campaign. Its coloured with Polychromo pencils. The paper is Bo Bunny Barefoot & Bliss. I added glitter to the mermaid scales after colouring them. The dies are Magnolia die club set. The triple bow is ribbon from my stash.

Update

Just to say I am not crafting at the moment as 3 weeks ago I cut off part of my nail & tip of thumb whilst using a guillotine. It's being dressed every other day at the moment.  Hopefully full service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Dolphins

I am still practising my colouring & have been colouring an A4 piece of art, which will be framed & put up in my house in Cyprus, I will show you once its finished.
This is an image I got from Kit & Clowder & was part of the Craft for Clearwater competition, where funds were raised for Clearwater dolphins.
This is coloured with Polychromo pencils entirely. The 2 dies used are from a Magnolia die club set. The image is mounted onto navy blue card. I didnt want to add anything else as I just love the picture by itself.

The papers are also from the same collection & are perfect for those male cards.
The card base & mount was made with a Couture Spring Collection die set. The embellies are from Hobbycutz, which I dont think are trading anymore. The brad was from HobbyHouse & the sentiment  is from an old QVC kit.

Octavia Moonfly Friendly Hugs

Time for another Digi Choosday challenge & today ''Its Pretty in Purple''.
I chose to use Octavia Moonfly Friendly Hugs, which can be purchased here as an individual digi stamp or here as part of the Octavia Moonfly CD.
This was coloured with Polychromo pencils & the scene is created by myself, with the help of the monthly Create & Learn classes over at Kit & Clowder.
I have framed the picture with purple Co ordinations cardstock, the flower is Prima & the sentiment is from Twiggy & Toots CD collection.

I coloured it with Polychromo pencils, the papers are Bo Bunny Smoochable. The punch used on the edging is a Martha Stewart & the 2 dies are both part of the Magnolia die club set 3, as is the tag. Flowers from stash, which largely means Thailand & the bow is made using my Zutter Bow It All.
