Just a simple heart

You know when you've used all the images you can think of, I wanted something different for my mum & dad anniversary card.

I found Cat Love at Mo's Digital Pencil and thought it was puuurfect - 'scuse the pun :D 

I used Copics to give the image some base colour and then polychromos pencils to give some texture to the fur.  My mum loves orange and I thought this combination worked perfectly so the cats didn't merge into each other.

The sentiment was done at the time of printing.  The layout simply just using some black and orange card stock, a biro to add some doodled borders and a few black gems.

Sally & Snowball

I'm honoured to be a guest designer at Scrapping4Fun today, their theme is Christmas.

It was a perfect opportunity for me to use this little cutie from Conie Fong that I won a while ago Sally and Snowball.

I've coloured the image using Copics, distressed the edges with black soot ink from Tim Holtz.  All the design papers have been distressed using a Tonic Solutions tool.  The design papers are from Maja Design and Lemoncraft.

I've used some holly chip board elements from Scrapienic, a few black gems, some tiny red paper flowers from Hobby Craft, a couple of red pins that came as a free gift and the large red fabric flowers are from Petaloo.

Hope you love my inspiration and you join them for the challenge

A different kind of home

I'm always looking for ideas for new home cards, this image from Anne Fenton I thought was perfect.  Anne's our sponsor at Outlawz Sketch for November, she has some fab images check out here blog here

I've coloured this image with ProMarkers, giving it a simple white cloud background.

Here's our sketch for today

I've just used the image and some black card stock, keeping a very simple design for the sketch

The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and is coloured with ProMarkers.  I've just then scattered some blossoms in a cascade down the right hand side of the card.

Hope you like my inspiration for today - see you at the challenge

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.  The image has been cut out with a Spellbinders die and frames with black card stock.

I've only used black card stock and one design paper from Craft & You.

Embellishments are a wood chip Thank You sentiment, some silver dragonfly charms and some purple pearl gems

Beautiful flowers

Sponsored this month by our lovely teamy Anne Fenton - this is our new month of sketch inspiration at Outlawz

This beautiful flower image has been coloured with ProMarkers.

This is our sketch for this week

I've kept the design papers to a minimum with this one just using them for borders.  These are from Lemoncraft.  I've also used the same papers for the banners.

Around the image and the white card stock I've used a biro to doodle some borders.

The only embellishment I've used are some WOC flowers and a couple of green and pink leaves.

Hope you love my first inspiration for the month and hope to see you at the challenge
