Dinosaurs Tri

This cute guy is from Ildi Co's latest line of dinosaur digital stamps. I think he'd make a great little boy card.

Oh and as a note of interest Ildi Co is sponsoring this week's Copic Buzz challenge, so hope on over there for a chance to win some of their images and there's a freebie there as well!

Flanders Fields

Here's my Tuesday posting for Sunshine's Stamps. I went with one of their Sentiments this time. This is the Flanders Fields poem, which I'm sure you are all familiar with. I made this card for my grandfather who served in World War II for remembrance day. To make this card I used my Nesties, Dew Drops, Close to My Heart ink around the edges and ribbon. I also used this weeks sketch from Midnight Madness.

Mistletoe

I made this Christmas card with one of PaperWorks new Christmas images. I used the sketch from StampTV and I coloured with Copics. I used Flower soft for the snow and I sponged the sky BG with CTMH Heavenly Blue.

Sunflower Spray

I had a lot of fun playing with this Sunshines Stamps image called "Sunflower Spray". I find it so pretty and I do love sunflowers! I thought I'd use the colours from StampTV's latest colour challenge to use blue, yellow and green. I thought I'd take the chance to play with some flower soft, which I use far to seldomly and I also used my new Nesties flourishes that I bought from www.paperworksco.com and I inked the edges with CTMH Outdoor denim ink.

Copics: YG63, Y17, Y21, Y000
