Monochromatic Tiny Baker Tia and Happy Birthday Edward

Hi all, hope you are well, (another scheduled post as am at work), today for my inspiration over at the Mad for Markers Store Blog I would like to show you this cutie Some Odd Girls Image 'Tiny Baker Tia' day' available here from The Mad for Markers Store and to keep in with our New Monochromatic March Challenge I have coloured her in shades of brown.

I made this card for My DH whose Birthday is today (X:)), he has a sweet tooth and loves homemade baking, so with a little imagination, image a slimmer, younger me lol presenting him with a cupcake lol!  (Morgan says it is too girly for his dad but gonna take the chance lol).

All the edges have been distressed, got to get one of those gadgets, instead of using scissors lol!

I placed one of the sentiment from this set on the inside, the dotted paper is handmade in India it has such a lovely feel to it.

A closer look at the spica and special effects

Copics and Spicas used all available from Sammi along with the double sided tape and mounting foam

My Last Post for Mad for Markers

Hi all

It is with sadness that I have stepped down from my DT positions, so this is my last post for Mad for Markers, I have been with Sammi for a year (where did it go), I have had a wonderful crafting journey, learnt so much and met some beautiful blogging buddies! Lucky enough to meet some in person when helping Sammi at Paperific.  I am sure gonna miss you girls!!!:(  You are an amazing talented bunch of crafters and lots of fun too!

They reason why:

For sometime now I have fancied having my own craft store and finally took the plunge and l am hoping to buy a craft business, I have never run a store before, so have much too learn and will be spending time with the owner learning as much as possible.  We will have to move house if all goes to plan so in trying to get the house and garden ready to sell, all the travelling, working for Edward, plus Rosanna and Morgan, I just don't have the time to fulfill my DT duties properly.  So keep your fingers crossed everything goes to plan. I will still be around in blog land (hopefully with a creation or two) if not just looking at the gorgeous creations you all make.

Onto our new challenge over at  Mad for Markers is colouring grey, now this was a challenge for me as I have never done this before, so here is my attempt I have used this image and sentiment from The Greeting Farm Set 'A Journey', which I thought was just perfect.  (This came in my blog candy stash from Debbie, thank you).  You do not have to colour all your image grey if you don't want, just use some grey copics somewhere on your creation, your papers don't have to be grey either, I think my mood was grey at the time, so everything was grey lol!

All papers are SU, distressed all the edges, image stamped on XPress Blending Card, the background was created dotting around the image with the grey copics.
 

 Copics  C00, C01, C03, C5, C7 (never used so few copics before lol!)

We have some new members to the team and the lovely Bron will be filling my Tuesday post over at Mad for Markers so don't forget to stop by and see the wonderful inspiration each day from the DT.

Copics and Xpress It Blending Card as well as LaLa Land Stamps and The Greeting Farm Images are all available from Sammi over at the Mad for Markers Store.

Thank you for visiting, Happy Crafting, take careX:)

Inky Impressions Monochromatic Challenge

Hi all, the Inkettes this week challenge you to a 'Monochromatic Challenge' to use shades of one colour, now I have slightly misunderstood and thought the whole image/creation, everything had to be coloured in that shade!  So poor Lili is looking a little green, I now know for next time lol!  I have used the cute 'Bundled Up Lili' image available here.

Normally I would chose purple, but DH had a birthday yesterday and green is his fav colour so made him this gift tag as I already had his card made, which is definately green lol!  Kept it fairly plain as I thought flowers may make it too girly, though Rosanna assured me it was already girly looking!  He is in for an Inky Birthday as he has the 'Angelica Hearts Socks' easel card I made for his card lol!

A closer look at the special effects, the heart charm available from Inky Impressions Store I coloured green with my Copic, as well as the eyelet and ribbon, I still think she is still gorgeous!

Don't forget to pop over to the Challenge blog and see what gorgeous monochromatic eye candy the DT have for you.
