Challenges & Some Published Cards

Hi everyone!  Thanks for popping by. I have a few cards to share with you today.

First up is a card for the sketch challenge over at Some Odd Girl.  Here’s my card using their lovely sketch and the Snuggle Tia image, she’s sooo cute!  I’m like that when I snuggle my little dog, Lulu!  Pets bring so much happiness.

I’m going to link this one up to Paper Issues’ latest challenge called Go Green or Go Home!  Don’t forget about my discount code (in my sidebar to the right), you can save 20% each time you shop over there just by quoting my code!

Next up is another little birthday card.  There’s a new challenge blog called Retro Sketches, and as you know I do love my sketches so I thought I’d join in on the fun.  The sketch is a really versatile one so it was more about how to stop ideas for this one than it was to know where to start!

I have no idea who this little image is by.  This was another one of those ones that I won but never wrote down the name, oops!  If anybody knows then do let me know so that I can give credit to it.

Colouring pinks with Copics is soooo hard, I find the darker pinks just don’t work that well for me, the mid colour always goes more orangey.

Finally I wanted to share some cards with you that were recently published in the TTCRD magazine.

Hope you’re having a great day.  I’ll be back tomorrow with some more Play Date Cafe fun.
