Musical Birthday

I completely forgot to share my GDT inspiration for Penny's Challenge using images from Twinkle Lane Designs (really need to retire so my day job stops interfering with my crafty time!).

I'm using Time for Music for my inspiration.

This image was so different form anything I've used before :)

It's been coloured with Copics.

For a change I've made a slimline card, which is one layer and has been made kind of grungy using some Tim Holtz Vintge Photo ink.

Thanks for popping by for a look :)

Best Girl

It's my turn to host the challenge at Fussy & Fancy Friday this time :)

Seen as it's summer hols and you're all busy I've picked a really easy theme for you all to join in, plus we've not had one of these for a while - ANYTHING GOES!

I've used a new image for this inspiration, she called Melody, you can find her in my shop here and get 10% off images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

This image was created especially for my neighbours daughter who loved playing the piano.  I've coloured her with Copics, distressed the edges with a Tonic solutions tool and Tim Holtz Vintage photo ink.  Around the edges I've scattered some embossing enamel.

Here's a photo of the layered up card before I started adding embellies.  The papers which have been distressed are from First Edition, I've also used some black card.  The lace behind the image is from The Ribbon Girl.

In this photo you can see some paper flowers which were from Wild Orchid Crafts and Crafteezee, the pin and organza rose trim were also from The Ribbon Girl.  Added to the flowers are some tiny silver dragonfly charms which I found on Amazon.

The Best Girl sentiment is a combination of wood chip elements from Scrapiniec and Make It Crafty.  The sentiment was for Beth who was being a best girl to her step dad rather then him having a best man (such a lovely idea).  I've coloured these with blue Copic.

Here's another close up, this one has a tiny resin frame which I've had in my stash for ages.

Finally, nearly forgot, there are a few pearl gems :)

Hope you like my inspiration for the challenge, thank for taking a look

Mini musical mice

I don't do much stamping these days, but with a friends son's birthday coming up where he's just passed his piano and drum exams with flying colours, I though this image was perfect.

Of course it's house mouse stamp - we all love them - this one is Musical Mice.

I've coloured the image with Copics and a black polychromos pencil.

The design papers are from Lili of the Valley, Our Daily Bread and I've also used some black card.  The tiny banners at the right of the image were cut with a Fantasy die.

The keyboard ribbon was from Crafty Ribbons (I've had it in my stash for ages).  The birthday sentiment is a wood chip one from Scrapineic.

Thanks for taking a look today.
