Can you believe it?! February already! It's another chilly start here in North Wales, but at least the brighter mornings give me the motivation to do a bit more! I struggle through the winter months in a state of concious hibernation and look forward to mid March when the clocks change and I suddenly wake up again! Thoughts of summer....if we get one this year!?!
Anyway, enough waffle, I actually have 2 cards to share with you today! I need to stock up on simpler cards for when local people ask for generic cards, rather than personalised ones and so had a colouring day on Monday - oh, what a joy that was, 3 hours of colouring in...who says we have to grow up?! I created 2 similar cards using the Birdie Friend digi image, but changed the colourways...
... I went for a blue and yellow colour scheme, using First Edition Up, up and Away and Summer Breeze papers (the yellow was something I found a piece of in my scrap drawers)...
...The image was coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, and my desk was covered in colours by the time I'd finished - it's surprising how many different pens you use for one image!
The second card I made was a richer colour scheme...
I'm entering this card into the following challenges :
...I have wanted to use orange for a while, but don't seem to have enough colours to blend, but I persevered and am quite happy with the result...
...I used First Edition Desert Blooms and Animal Antics papers and again coloured with Promarkers. I would list the colours, but there were just so many! ((If you would like to know any combinations, leave me a comment and I'll try to tell you). The gold swirl is a new Memory Box Die that I got...think I need some more of these ;-) That's it for now, but I'll be back soon to show you the other cards that I am completing. Thanks for dropping by and if you have the time, leave me a comment and I'll try to visit you, too! Lisa x
