'The Messenger'

Good morning my lovelies from a rather dull and dismal Monday morning here but I'm hoping it will at least brighten up a little as I don't really relish the thought of getting another soaking on the school run later.  

Anyway just popping in as I wanted to share with you a card I have made using a Whimsy Stamps Cathy Delanssay image called 'The Messenger'.  She has been coloured up using copics in another one of my fave colour combos and I just so love this colour hair at the moment.

The Little Bird

Hello everyone.  Gosh Monday morning already I guess I blinked and missed the weekend then!!!

Well I'm popping in today to share with you some love of the Whimsy variety.  For my card I decided to ink up 'The Little Bird' by Cathy Delanssay from the latest Whimsy January release and teamed her up with the fabulous new 'Fairy Tale Dreams' sentiments by Simonne Clay and was inspired to make a card in the shape of a crown.  So let me show you some piccies of how it turned out:-

Image:  'The Little Bird' by Cathy Delanssay for Whimsy Stamps

Sentiments:  'Fairy Tale Dreams' & 'Everyday Moments' by Simonne Clay SC Designs for Whimsy Stamps

Medium:  Copics and Prismas

Papers:  Papermania 'Henbury Lane'

Dies:  Spellbinders 'Labels 4'

I made a little tag which just tucks inside.  The sentiment on the tag is from the new 'Everyday Moments' set by Simonne Clay, lots of useful sentiments in this set folks. 

Okay last piccie is the usual close up of the gorgeous image.  I decided to add in the pleats on her dress with pencils this time.  Sometimes on larger spaces I find it easier to add in pleats with my pencils as they can be a bit more forgiving that copics.

Copic/Prisma list

Face/Body:  E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair:  E43, E47, E49

Dress:  BG000, Light Aqua, Aquamarine & 70% Cool Grey

Branch/Leaves:  E43, E47, E49/G02, G07, G28

Right time to dash, must make some attempt at the housework today, seriously one would think a tornado has ripped through the house after all the debris the kiddies manage to leave lying around after the weekend!!!

Take care, 

Ann-Marie
