Papertake Weekly Challenge

I have been such a bad blogger of late, all I can say is all work and no play is absolutely no fun what sooooo ever!!!! Two more shifts this week, 3 days off, play day Christmas eve, then 10 lovely day off. Total R & R, cant wait :)

This weeks challenge over at Papertake Weekly is monochromatic, here is my first ever ever attempt at monochromatic - not sure exactly that it counts due to skin and hair colour - but never mind, I love colouring these images - so much so I have a little pot of coloured cut out ones! Why I don't know......

Apologies for the blurry pic - I'm not the greatest with the camera, may have had the wrong setting plus dodgy lighting, I might start scanning cards in to see how that works. I used a cc deign download, coloured with pro markers & copics, highlighted with a sakura gel pen, stuck onto DCWV paper, I raised the wing with a 3d foam pad. Cut out the shapes with nestabilities, sentiment is studio g, gems from stash.

Another double

Two cards in a day!!!!! Must have hangovers more often! lol

Here is a card for this weeks Lili of the valley challenge - where the theme is Sprinkle & sparkle - how fantastic http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/. Love any thing that sparkles. It is also based on the sketch at this weeks I {heart 2 stamp} http://iheart2stamp.com/ technically I have not stamped anything, as the image is a download, however I am playing any way ;)

Apologies for the scewiff pic! I have used CC Design Angels download, I love these little cuties (there's not much I don't love at the mo. lol) Coloured with pro markers, high lighted with a very temperamental sakura gel pen, and loads of glamour dust added to the wing.

Image has been cut out with nesties, doodled border, gems added to sparkle and a craft work cards sentiment.
