May the force be with you!

I made this card for my daughter's 6th birthday (where had the time gone!).  She is very much into the cartoon Star Wars that has been showing on ABC3 of late. The picture is of Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalkers Padawan learner.  I got the image from Deviantart, but forgot to note the artist!  She loved it, which was the main thing.  It was quite refreshing colouring some thing a little bit different that had set colours.

Guest Designer

Last month I entered a card of mine into the Little Miss Muffet Challenge and I won!  I was ablet to choose two images from their store and a third if I was willing to make something for their next challenge as a guest designer.  Of course I said yes! 

The top photo is an altered sketch book with the matching card below.  They are for a friend of Nessa's for her birthday early next month.  I'm quite pleased with the way they have come up.

Boy Card

The girls went to a boys 4th birthday yesterday and I made these for him.  The top picture is the card I made, while the bottom is a blank sketch book that I covered to match.  We gave him this with a packet of textas.

I found this car image a real challenge to colour.  I haven't done many non-person images before.  I'm quite happy with the outcome, but I think a bit more practice is required!

Mum's Turn Not to Look

I coloured this image for my Mum's card.  I chose it ("Bella Rose Lattice Background" by Heartfelt Creations) as she made a comment about how she liked it.  Red is her favourite colour, so that choice was easy.  You can't see it, but the leaves and roses are actually lifted on dimensionals.

Other cards

I don't really understand what is going on with the Marci card, it is up the right way on the computer, but it is uploading sideways!  Anyway, these are two other cards I have made this week, but I'm not entering in to any challanges.  Hope you like them.

Don't Look Ilse!

This is the Mother's Day card I have made for my Mother-in-law.  Hopefully she will heed the title and not look before we see her next weekend!

I'm quite happy with the card, though I think it would have been better if I have used two different prints of the blue.  Very happy with my colouring

Birthday Season is upon us!

Well, we have hit birthday season here!  All the kids from Nessa's mother's group are turning 6, so there are birthday parties galore.  The first was yesterday, the next two weekends there are birthday parties, skip a week and we get to Nessa's with about three more to come after that!  Those are the ones I know about and can prepare for.  Don't forget that there are Mother's Day cards to make in there too!

I'm very happy with the way this card turned out (thanks for the lend of the lattice die Mum!), both in my colouring and card composition.
