Dreaming of a Pink Christmas!

Hi..i cant believe its the weekend again! Just as i get caught up with things going on during the week i find myself at the end of it! Whats worring its that Christmas day is going to be with us before we know it.

I have got some cards make for my close family but once again i will have to buy a pack from the shops for the rest of my family and friends. At least i thought about making everyone a card...and they do say its the thought that counts!!lol

Well i am just stopping by with a card i made just for the fun of it. I am still in pink mode so pink it was!

The image i used is another one from Art by Miran. I really like this one..great for colouring!

The bow and tag is a removable with a hidden sentiment.

Here is the link to their story ...get a tissue first, you will need it!...

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!

I am also going to enter my card into these challenges...

Divas by Design - Use a Digi

Inklings and Yarns - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty - Lots of Layers
