Red and Pinks at the Pencil Cases Challenge

Hi everyone,

Hope you've had a good week!  

Today is the start of a new challenge at the Pencil Cases Blog and this fortnight we would like to see you use Reds and Pinks, remember you can use any colouring medium to join in!

Our fabulous sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies and they are offering a $12 gift certificate for the winner, there is also a Lyra prize to be won too!

Prize - $12 gift card for store

My image this week is called Aloha Blooms and can be found here. Isn't she stunning!

I didn't really have much to colour in red and pink so I went for a pink bikini and red flowers in her hair!

I went for a very Clean and simple card for me, I thought she was stunning enough and with the sentiment from Stamping up I didn't feel it needed much more, some simple doodling around the papers and a touch of Wink of Stella on her lovely flowers.

I hope you like it!

Distress Ink colouring attempt

Hi everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card using "Vintage Slip" from A Day for Daisies, unfortunately I couldn't find her in the store (i bought her quite a few years ago) but there are hundreds of lovely images in there to chose from.

I have used distress inks, now this is only the 2nd time i've used them since I bought them .... when they first came out I might add (hangs head in shame)

I went for a watercolor type vintage-y look lol

I coloured her on heavily textured watercolour paper and added a tonne of distress stickles to her lovely hair.

I also used my new white jute from Stampin up (sparingly I might add -  this stuff is expensive!) and to finish off I added some embellies from Live & Love Crafts and loads more stickles to edge the papers!

I hope you like her :)

Have a great weekend!

love Cara xx

Good Morning!!

I'm here again with another card made with my fabulous pencils!!!

This is the super sweet Little Miss Giraffe from A day for daisies and she can be found here.

This time I printed my image onto heavily textured watercolour paper and then blended my pencils with Sansador and a paper stump.

The papers are from my scraps box again (i'm really loving making tiny cards to use up all my scraps)

The sentiment is from Stampin up and a couple of flowers from WOC.

I really hope you like her .... she has already been claimed by my middle daughter Paige.

Have a happy Sunday!

Hugs xx Cara xx
