My Besties UK

Anything Goes and Use the Sketch

For my card today I have used one of Sherri's lovely digi's

Meet Fluffy Frannie
available from Sherri's wonderful store

I have followed the sketch and used it to design a little 'al fresco' scene for Frannie to sit in and enjoy her drink.

I have used my Silhouette Portrait to cut Frannie out and coloured her with Copics.

I have then sat her in the scene made with embossed Kraft card and a die cut lattice.

Finally I added some hand punched flowers and a sentiment.

Get Messy!

Good Morning friends, happy Monday!


Before we talk about today's card, I want to tell you about something exciting - well exciting for me anyway!  

A recent card of mine got an 'honourable mention' by Michele from Purple Onion Designs on her Design Team's Blog.
You can see it 
HERE

This is because I am taking part in as many days as I can of the 
30 Day Colouring Challenge at The Daily Marker - it is really good fun so go on...have a go!

Today's card is my 'same but different' project for Sherri Baldy's
My Besties UK

This month we have all used the same gorgeous Sherri Baldy image -

the gorgeous fairy digi img791 which is available 
HERE

from Sherri's 
My Besties Shop

This is not a challenge just a bit of fun so to have a chance of winning this gorgeous digi, just pop to 

My Besties UK 

and leave a comment for the design team - simples!

The winner will be picked at random on New Challenge day - the first Monday in March.

I have tried quite a few new 'things' on this card.

Firstly, I tried to ombre the colours - it has come out a bit stripy but I like the effect so I will give this a bit more practice.

Secondly I tried an inky background effect I learnt with lovely Faye (stampinfluffnstuff) at my recent Copic Class.  Basically your drop a few drops of Copic refill and a few drops of Copic Blender on a mat and 'swish' (technical term)! some glossy card through it.  I then added some flicks of Copic refill from a paint brush.

Oh yep! Note to self - before flicking ink about the place it is a good idea to put away your iPad, reading glasses, Design Papers - oh and of course the image that you have spent some considerable time colouring! (There are a few dots but I have left them and am pretending it was deliberate sssshhhhh - our secret right)!

Anyways, here we are, sweet ain't she...
