Easy as 1..2...3

Howdy folks - its Farm Fresh Friday over at TGF so i took the challenge set and am entering this card:

basically the challenge involves - 1 main image 2 embellishments and 3 patterned papers... I have my main image... i have two embellishments (two roses in her hair and the sentiment) and three PP's
I absolutely loved colouring her and whats more, i got down and dirty with some more stickles and attacked the heck out of her horns, collar, and shoes! makes her look more cute than scary... but dont be fooled - shes a little devil!
I also may have stickled the sentiment a little... and did some Tim Holtz distressing on the edges of the card and sentiment... i dont know what it is, but i cant ever leave a sentiment plain.... its an issue i clearly have lol

Enjoy and have a great weekend all!

TGF crazy!

Back again with another card - using TGF's Cupcake Anya image I specifially made this card to enter the DTT (double take tuesday) challenge - this time it was a challenge to use, funny enough, three of my least liked colours lol! YELLOW, PINK and TURQUOISE. so I put my brave face on and gave it a go! and here is the result! Im quite pleased with it really, but moreso because I have a great idea what to do with it (see below for details)

So I coloured Anya with my Promarkers, added some pinks, a few flowers and printed and added the sentiment - seemed very fitting really and rather simple!

I will eventually also enter this card, into Crafty Cardmakers with a matching box, which will contain a cupcake! (funny that! lol) ive brought a box, and need to give altering a go as ive never done this - so watch this space for that!

Im also hitting up Little Fairy's challenge blog for their clean and simple challenge with this card!

Card prepping!

Who knew a bit of colouring in was so relaxing!

So I'm prepping for a couple of cards, both of which I intend to enter into two separate challenges... But more on that later!

I've just finished working on two images, one being a cute little Anya from TGF 'Cupcake Anya' I wanted her to be pretty cute and cartoon-like. I love TGF images because of how simple yet so eye catching they are.

Secondly I've just finished a KennyK creation, 'Rock chick' now honestly tells me that I should point out she was a learning curve for me, especially her hair! I don't do hair very well, I prefer my people to be in hats! lol but I'm semi-pleased with her, there are some mistakes, overloading the ink and having it bleed slightly in places, but I'm hoping once she's on a card, the focus won't be so strongly on her imperfections!

I hope to get the cards finished this week!
As always comments welcome!
