Top five!

Look what I got! My dragon notes were a hit last week! Thanks Sarah (the lovely lady who gave it to me). That's twice now I've been in the top 5! Whooo hooo! Unfortunately I am not able to join in this week as I have no apricot. It feels like that song gone wrong...'Yes! I have no apricot...! Never mind! I can do the rest that are now up on the site.

I thought I would post a card that has been in bits on my table for about a month. I'm still not sure if it works, but I was tidying and I wanted the space! The layered flower (Graphicus) was coloured in with promarkers whilst we were in Wales (more than a month ago!), The paper is from an Artylicious cd (Floral fantasies). I added the rainbow drops and the punched border (Martha Stewart).I still feel the need to use it on every card!!!If my posting gets a bit erratic you will have to excuse me, as I've got heaps to do for work. I just have to keep thinking that its all earning money to buy new stash!

Passion for promarkers- Lilac, lavender, amethyst and aubergine

Passion for promarkers challenge this week asks us to use at least two of the four purples currently available. For the first card I used lilac and lavender, along with two very small amounts of aubergine (The handbag clasp and the rainbow drop on the shoe). Stamps are from Stamporium. It was ok, but I thought I could come up with something better, so I looked what else I could colour and found this quirky digistamp that was another freebie from Dustin Pike. For this one I used all four shades of purple with pastel blue and pastel pink in addition. Papers on the first are from my stash and for the second are from a papermania creative tones pad.
So, the second is my entry for this weeks challenge. I know, it is a bit of a strange colour for a bee! Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

My 100th post! (Ten lots of Ten part one)

Happy Easter! Well, here I am at my hundredth post and I'm finding it dificult to believe! This blogging business has been rather addictive and I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I set my mind to thinking of what I could do to make it a bit special and came up with a theme that will run for the next few weeks, finishing up with some blog candy... watch this space! I wanted my theme to relate to the 100th post, but didn't want to do one project with 100 parts, so I decided to go with 10 lots of 10. I'm going to complete 10 projects with 10 things on them, so it might be 10 stamped images on one or 10 embelishments on another. If I get stuck it might even be 10cm of ribbon or 10 words! Anyway, here are my first 3 items. Each one features 10 rainbow drops. That is 30/100 - 70 more to go! The art work is A7 in size before mounting. The background was made using creative colour sprays and the swirls were added freehand using rainbow colour glaze. I used gel pens to add a few highlights.

The sheen on them is lovely, but you can't really tell in the photos. The question is, would any of you like them? They could be stuck to the front of a card, or framed. If you would like one leave me a comment. Better still, become a follower if you are not already.

Once I have completed all ten I will put the names of everyone who has commented and all my followers into a hat and pull out a name or two to recieve a few goodies (artwork and blog candy). I'm aiming to get a few regular visitors to be a bit less shy!
