The challenge at 'promarker' this week is a sketch to go with the colours 'cocoa and cornflower'.
I used one of the beautiful 'pixie chicks' from 'charmed' ... you can get to them via the 'Dotties world' blinkie on the side of my blog. This one is actually a holly pixie but i changed her... painlessly of cause.
I coloured some paper with cocoa and cornflower so i could punch out flowers and leaves... and i coloured a white die-cut greeting with 'cocoa' to match.
I used cocoa, cornflower blue, ice grey3, satin,blush and pastel pink.
Rub-ons and gems finished her off.
Thanks for taking time to look.

Dotties world

Blooming beautiful is the challenge at 'Dotties world' this week. I love this pixie... she should be a Holly pixie, but i just had to 'adjust' her a little... it was all painless... honest.
I coloured her with promarkers, the papers were in a kit from c/c a couple of years back, and i added real lace to the edge. I removed her holly head dress and added silk pansy petals, gave her dragonfly wings and coloured tiny silk flowers the same colour as her dress to hide other evidence of her being a holly pixie..... i hope you like the her... i adore her...with or without the holly.
Thanks for coming to look.

Good mourning glory

Diane at Good mourning glory has set her 1st challenge, and its 'summer days'.

I made this atc using stamps from my hoard.The background i did in water colour and ink, the figure is just over coloured in pencil.

I did her dancing in a grave yard in the sunshine as i hope it appeals to Dianes love of the macabre.

RAINBOW LADY & STAMP WITH FUN

The challenge at 'rainbowlady' this week is 'christmas with a pet' and the challenge at 'stamp with fun' is a brilliant sketch.... which i thought went with this 'sassy santa's helper' really well.

I have nothing christmassy with a pet on so.... i used a 'staptivity' santas helpers stamp, coloured with promarkers and the little frog from 'penny black' holly day critters.

I had to cut both the sassy lassy and little frog so he looks as if he's being held... but the smile on his face says he's 'enjoying' it!!!

The papers are 'daisy & dandelion' christmas collection.

Thanks for coming to look.... the small pic shows the frogs lovely grin!!!!
