Skin - Blush, Baby Pink, Sunkissed Pink and Soft Peach

Hair - Sandstone, Caramel, Coco and Burnt Sienna

Clothes - Pale pink, Baby Pink and touches of Cocktail pink, Cool grey 1-4 for trousers and also warm grey and blender pen. I also used a Soft Aqua Flexmarker for the background shaddow.

EHA Challenge with a Twist!

Good morning! Well the Winter weather has hit us now and we had a little shower of snow last night but it didnt lie as the ground was too wet with the rain earlier in the day much to Carries disappointment!!

Today is the start of the new Elphine House Australia Challenge! Last month was so quiet with everyone being so busy with the run up to Christmas so we are doing a little something different this month.

We thought we would do things a little bit different this month since everyone is busy with Christmas coming up....

We are going to give you the option of  2 challenge themes.  Then rather than holding a challenge in December, we will let this challenge run until the 30th December with the winner being announced on the Dec 31st and our challenges will begin again in January back to normal.

So the choice of themes are..

"Autumn Leaves" Using any Elisabeth Bell Design.

or

"Let it Snow" using any Elisabeth Bell Design.

If you fancy you can so both themes since you have extra time with this challenge..just remember it has to be a Elisabeth Bell Designed Stamp or Image. Idf you have a EHA stamp then we would love to see what you can do with it!

Here is my card using Fairy Faye Flying High

Materials

Image coloured with Promarkers

Pink and Girly!!

 Hi, Hope you are having a lovely day!

Well i had a eventful day yesterday. If any of you have been reading, i have had awful toothache for days and the dentist told me it as the root canal treatment that hadnt been successful and most likey i had a infection. I got antibiotic and told to wait. Well yesterday i couldnt wait another day. I was actually in so much pain it had me crying..to the kids amusement! Went to the dentist and got it pulled out. I as really worried at first because i could still feel the toothache while i as still numb but thankfully it settled and i its much better today.

I am here to share my card that i posted on the Digi Bell Blog today. I decided that i was going to make a girly card in pastels as i have been making Christmas cards this week and most have been traditional colours so i needed to get the pinks back out!!

I have used Little Mama as you cant get any more girly that this cutie!

You can find her here at Elisabeth Bells Digital Collection

Materials
Image coloured with Promarkers
Papers - My Minds Eye Chalk Studio

Glitter, Glitter Everywhere!!

Hello! At last i am here! I have had such a full on day. It was my Mums birthday today so i spent a lot of time with her but also had my monthly hospital appointment and just to finish it off i have got awful toothache from Root Treatment that has gone wrong! The pain is driving me craz! Going to get it sorted tomorrow hopefully!

My hospital appointment was not great. Blood Count still low, at 95 today and the usual list of abnormal results to go with it. Thats my middle name.....Unusual! Nothing just goes to plan or as it should!

On a happier note my Mum had a lovely birthday. We went and had a photo shoot done of all the grandkids and got one of the photos blown up and framed for her. She started to cry when she opened it!!

Anyway today starts the new challenge at I Love Promarkers!

This weeks its "All That Glitters"

I got my Glamour Dust Glitter out along with Star Dust Stickles and also my Tim Holtz Distress Clear Rock Candy Glitter! It was everywhere and still see glimmers of it on all over my craft desk!

My image is from Art By Miran! I just came across her store on Etsy as i was looking for some new Christmas images. She has got loads of amazing digi stamps but also prints and cool blottletop magnets etc. Well worth a look!! I love this image, perfect for the glitter challenge as well as colouring!

I thought for my posts for I Love Promarkers i would list what colours of Promarkers i use on my images instead of a list of materials.

Skin - Blush, Soft Peach, Pale Pink and touch of Sunkissed Pink

Hair - Sandstone, Caramel and Burnt Sienna

Clothes - Pastel Blue, Powder Blue and Denim Blue, Cool Grey 1 (on white under glitter)

On the photo below you can see how i used my Goosebumps Shimmer Spray over my image. I sprayed from a distance to make the droplets smaller to look like snow. It also has a lovely texture to it when you rub your fingers over it!
