Totally Gorjuss - Paper Piecing

Now that my fortnight of Jury Service is over things should be getting back to normal - possibly one of the most surreal experiences ever.

I have made this card for the challenge over at Totally Gorjuss which is paper piecing. Not some thing I do very often probably because I love colouring in too much.

I have used the Gorjuss girl stamp "Just a girl" partly coloured with copics and the DP's are from the Forever Friends paper pack "Pink Parfait".

Manga Girl - One Card, Three Challenges

The card I've made today is for the following three challenges - The layout is from Friday Sketchers, the theme this week at Totally Gorjuss which is dimension and the colours are from this weeks Copic Colour Challenge.

I have used the Sugar Nellie stamp "Manga Girl #1" coloured with copics (I have no excuse for not having all the colours for the challenges now, because for my birthday on the 26th December my OH treated me to set B). The DP is from the Dovecraft "Funky Vintage" paper pack.

The image is coloured with Copic's, the striped DP is from DCWV and the pink DP is from the Papermania "Blueberry Hill" pack.

Crafty Catz- Colour Combo challenge 12

It's been a couple of weeks since I posted, working Sundays and feeling a bit under the weather has taken it's toll, but I have finally got round to making a couple of cards and the first one I'm posting is for the colour challenge over at Crafty Catz which this week is Brown, Cream & White with a bit of gold.

The stamp is Elzybells "Reindeer and Star" coloured with Copics and the DP's are from stash.

Now that I've finished work for Christmas I should be feeling festive, perhaps it's because I've got the lurgy that I'm not quite in the mood yet, although I did feel Christmassy when I took the Brownies on the Severn Vally Railway last Sunday to see Santa!
