Magnolia Down Under :: colour challenge

The current challenge at Magnolia Down Under is a colour challenge...either:

• Pink, Brown and Cream/White
• Orange, Brown and Cream/White
• Blue, Brown and Cream/White.

Loving all those combinations and being a "hopeless decision maker" I decided to make THREE cards and try all combinations.... so here are my cards...







I did not have the right colour blooms for all the cards and so I changed their colours with my copics - worked quite well!

Thanks for looking.

Copic colour challenge

I finally get the enter the Copic Colour Challenge again! :)

their colours this time are:

BV00 - tick - (just realised I used this on a different pixie... will show her tomorrow)
G00 - tick
RV02 - don't have that one...
so I used RV04 minimally (along with the colourless blender) + used a pink whisper pen on top.
I also used a couple of skin tone colours + yellows for the hair. Here is my card:




I used one of the adorable little pixie downloads available from Charmed Cards and Crafts!
Ain't she lovely?

And whilst on the subject of Pixies I thought I'd show you my first card using these gorgeous images, so here it is (made for my sister and sent via air-mail)




You can get your own pixies HERE!

no MOJO

I've kind of lost my Mojo!

But I have been colouring in... although I must admit I'm not exceptionally happy with them.


the Magnolias are for the current Magnolia Down Under challenge (just gotta find my Mojo so I can make them into cards) and the lovely little Pixies are from Lou and Karen's new collections at Charmed Cards and Crafts, you can get yours here

Magnolia Down Under - Under the Sea

Well It seems I am too late for the Magnolia down Under Challenge... as it s supposed to be in by midday Sat - It's now 1.10pm.. oops!!

The challenge was " under the sea"!

Well - I thought I would show you my card anyway.... I did not have any appropriate "sea" Magnolia stamps.. So I thought I would turn this pretty Tilda into a mermaid!



I've been feeling very UNMOTIVATED.... work has been busy and I just don't really feel like crafting (I think my Mojo ran off somewhere anyway)! But I received my Bizzy Becs stamps
this week and I love them!!! so....



come back later and I "just might" have some cards to show!

Stamping out Alzheimers

Have you checked out the Stampin out Alzheimers link at the side of my blog??

<---

Anything that can be done here is worthwhile... Alzheimers is such a horrible disease... I watched it eat away at both my grandfathers (so sad!!) I wish that no one had to go through such a horrid ordeal ... praying they find a cure soon!

I created this cupcake for a challenge on the Stampin out Alzheimers site!




the cupcake is a template from Kelleigh and she has more templates at her store - Digichick
How fun!! :)

Thanks for looking... now I seem to be having troubles with:
1. blogger - keeps quitting/ not letting me leave comments! sporadically it does let me!
2. My wireless connection is dropping in and out all over the place... ahhhhhh!!!

Crafty Muse :: Black, White and ?

The current challenge on Crafty Muse is to use: Black, White and ??

I used the bride and groom and a quote that are both part of the new Marriage download package!

Thanks for looking... Hope you like it!
