Good morning my lovelies and a big happy Friday to you. I come to you from a very quiet house this morning. The kiddies summer break has finally come to an end and some semblance of routine has returned. Don't get me wrong I love having the kiddiewinkles home (you know I still call them that even though one will be 18 and the other 14 this October lol) but I do find that after the 3 to 4 week mark they've had enough. I am pleased however that the weather has been fairly kind to us again this summer and they've managed to see friends at the beach and go out a lot rather than being stuck in doors.
Anyway, moving on. As it's Friday there is a new challenge up over at Polkadoodles. The theme set for the DT this time was 'thinking of you' using any image, but for all you folks it's as always an 'anything goes' theme and you don't even have to use a Polkadoodles image just enter with any make. So here's what I went with.
I made a fairly clean and simple card as I really wanted to show off the beautiful image and papers so no fussiness to cover it all up. I really love colouring in greys I think it is so effective, so this is what I have done with 'Octavia thinking' and literally just added a touch of pink as a highlight. Items can be found over in the Polkadoodles store and I've popped the links to everything after the first photo.
Medium: copics
Papers: Octavia Moonfly paper heaven 5
printed onto Ultimate Graphic paper
Ribbon and flower from stash
My usual close up of the image. Isn't she just adorable in her floaty dress?!
Copics used:
Skin: E000, E11, E13, R20
Clothes: C1, C3, C5, C7
Hair: C1, C3, C5, C7, 100
Bow/necklace: R81, R83, R85/B02, B04
Okay folks that's all from me. I hope you all enjoy a lovely weekend and get to sneak in a little crafty 'me' time I know I'm going to do my best to lol!!
Take care and happy crafting.
