Doing a Double

We're sharing our new release inspiration at All Dressed Up today.  This is the second instalment of the month :)

We're a it short on DT ladies a at the moment so I've done a double.

The first image is Pretty Lashes you can find her in Wendy's shop here.  I've coloured her with Copics and than fussy cut her.


The design paper is from 13 Arts, I've also used some Kraft and some left over scraps that I cut into banners with a Fantasy die.

I've used a stencil to add a little extra interest to the design paper.  A few sequins, rhine stones and a Birthday sentiment from Make It Crafty coloured with Copic.


The second image is a cute easter bunny, the image is called Happy Easter and you can find it here in Wendy's shop.


I've coloured with image with Copics, sprinkles some embossing enamel around the edges, distressed the edges and added a few enamel dots to add some interest.


My design papers are from First Edition (also distressed) and I've also used some black card.  Finishing off I've used a few black gems.

You can find more inspiration by the Dressy girls today on the challenge blog and in the Facebook group.

Thanks for poppy by today. I hope you've all had a fantastic Easter <3

Hello.... ;)

We're sponsored by Createful Heart this month at Outlawz Sketch


I've used Dragonfly Hi for my inspiration.  The image has been coloured with Copics.  Once coloured I've added some embossing enamel and distressed the edges.


Here's our sketch for this week, which I've cheated a little on, but you can still see the influence of the sketch (I hope) :)



My design papers are from Hobby Craft and 13 Arts and I've also used some black card.



The banners were cut with a Fantasy die, I've added a few black gems and the Cheers sentiment coloured with Copics is from Make It Crafty.

Here in Yorkshire "Cheers" is another way for saying thanks if you didn't know already :)

Special Day

Today is a special day for me (us) it's our wedding anniversary, goodness know where the last few years have gone!



We love hiking in the lakes so I thought using Valentine to make a scene of a couple watching a sunset would be very appropriate for us.

I've roughly sketch an outline of hill in the background and a few clouds.


The scene has been coloured with Copics.  I've done it as a single layer card - nothing else needed really :)

Have a great day!

GDT for CRAFT Challenge :)

Good morning, I'm here sharing my inspiration today as a Guest Designer for CRAFT Challenge No. 508.  The theme of the challenge is Inspired by a Song

They are sponsored by Star Stampz this week.  I happened to have this little image in my stash called Monster Under the Bed.


My link to the song is Golden Slumbers by the Beatles.  Their song was used for the John Lewis Christmas advert where a little boy has a monster under the bed that he becomes friends with :)

I've coloured the image with Copics.


Keeping the design simple to showcase the image I've used design paper from Hobby Craft and some Kraft card.

The angled section was cut with a die, I've used some black gems and a DREAM sentiments from Make It Crafty.

Thanks for popping by today

Old Truck

At Outlawz Sketch we're being sponsored by Createful Heart this month.

I've used Worn Out Truck for my inspiration.


I've coloured the image with Copics giving it a rusty look :)

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.


I've used a Spellbinders die to cut the image out and a Fantasy die for the chevrons.  The design paper is from First Edition along with some black card and some corrugated Kraft.



The final addition is a couple of cogs from Tim Holtz

Hope you like my inspiration for today and we see you at the challenge

Honey Money n Elsa

I'm sharing a special creation with you today for my inspiration for the new challenge on the SheepSki Designs blog.  Our theme for this month is WINGS.


This image was created for a work colleague for their 10th wedding anniversary.  From this I've been able to add two extra images to my shop.  Honey n Money and Elsa.  You can find them in my shop where you can get 10% off all my images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout on Etsy.

The image has been coloured with Copics.



My papers are black card and some DP from Hobbycraft.  The Words were printed directly onto the design paper and I spent ages drawing circles, distressing & layering :)

Hope you like my inspiration today and we see you at the challenge

1st of the month and we're back with a new challenge for you at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group.  This time the theme is Animal Madness.  Wendy has all sorts of little cuties you can use :)



The image has been coloured with Copics and then fussy cut.  In this photo you can also see a close up of some tiny wooden hearts which I've made into butterflies.

My design paper is from Joy Craft and My Favourite Things.  I've cut out some papers with some Fantasy Dies for the foliage under the flowers.  The flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Around the flowers are some gold drops that I've made using Ayeeda Ink.


A section of lace in the shape of flowers is just beneath the bear and rabbit.  I think I may have got this from The Ribbon Girl while they were still open.

Finally a wooden Love sentiment from Hobbycraft and a Wood chip Sending from Make It Crafty make up the sentiment for this card.
