Good afternoon peeps!

How are you this fine, lovely day?

Our challenge this week over at Incy Wincy is Sea, Sun & Sand and our fab sponsor is Lacy Sunshine who is giving the lucky winner a prize of 3 digis!

I chose a lovely mermaid called Morticia Siren and here she is...

Items needed...

Card stock: white, light purple

Promarkers: Almond, Blue Pearl, Cool Grey 1, Cool Grey 3, Cool Grey 5, Frosted Jade*, Oasis*, Orchid, Purple, Putty

I could have coloured her dark and brooding just like Morticia, but I thought the shades of aqua and purple would work really well and I'm pleased with how she has turned out.

Wix Moonlighter - Lacy Sunshine/Incy Wincy

Good afternoon peeps!

It's a very wet, and I mean very wet day here in Norfolk. It started so well this morning and now it has gone and spoiled itself. 

I'm supposed to be nipping into Cromer later. I dropped my car off for new tyres and brakes this morning. I think I will pick it up and come straight home, no point in getting wet for the sake of a watch battery!

Onto important matters. I managed to get my Incy Wincy DT make photographed this morning. This week the challenge is 'Mom's the word'. I understand that in the US, Canada and Australia it's coming up to their Mother's Day. We have a fantastic sponsor for you - Lacy Sunshine! The oh so lucky winner can get to choose 3 digis from her shop.

Cemetarie & Bunny - Lacy Sunshine/Incy Wincy

Good afternoon peeps!

Well we have another great challenge for you over at Incy Wincy Designs, this week being a sketch challenge; believe me when I say I found this one really difficult. 

I'm a CAS person so I would not normally do a layout such as this one. Then again, it is a challenge isn't it? We all have to step out of our comfort zone sometimes :o)

This weeks sponsor is the fab Lacy Sunshine Stamps and the lucky winner will get a prize of  3 digis!

Here is the sketch designed by the lovely Karen...

...and how I tackled it...

Isn't she adorable? The image is called Cemetarie & Bunny and she can be found here.

I decided to make her into a more 'girly' Halloween card, I got my inspiration for the colours from the fab Frankie & Friends Collection by Simple Stories. I kept her colouring to lilacs, aqua and greys with that little pop of burnt orange for the bunny eyes and patch. I loved colouring her in :o)

Here is a list of the items you need...

Card stock: black, white

Digi stamp: Cemetarie & Bunny (Lady Heather's Curiosities) - Lacy Sunshine

Patterned papers: Frankie & Friends 12" x 12" Collection Pack - Simple Stories

Promarkers: Amethyst, Burnt Orange, Ginger, Ice Grey 1,2,3,4 & 5, Lilac, Lime Twist, Orchid, Pastel Beige, Pastel Green

Adhesives

The Pastel Green Promarker is more of a subtle aqua than green, but it was perfect for this image. 

I used a white 'happy' rub-on and a small Halloween die-cut from my stash for the sentiment. 

The black roses were made by hand-cutting a rough circle and then cutting it into a spiral. Next scrunch it and then roll it up and add a spot of glue to the base to secure. Simple!

Why not head on over to Incy Wincy and check out what my talented teamies have done and have a go at the challenge? 

That's me for the moment, thanks for popping by :o) xxx
