DP2 Challenge card.

Been playing in craft room, and getting covered in copics and sticky stuff :).  and hey get me, two cards made in one day... must be a record lol.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun.... I would be, but... suffering dreadfully with hayfever.... although the Rapeseed looks fantastic at the moment.... and as far as my eye balls can see.......its doing me in! ..  so good enough reason to lock myself away, with a box of kleenex and my copics.

 

this weeks challenge is Clean and Simple, not the easiest challenge for me, but I thought if I went for a male card it would be a lot easier... and it was :).  Think thats the way to go for me when its a CAS challenge anywhere lol... 

I am also entering this for the Papertake challenge this week, which is Anything Goes.  

Also Crafty Creations Challenge, Something old something new... old image, new dies. Stampin for the Weekend, Buttons,

I have used Zoom, by Mo, copics, star dies, and the speech bubble was from some freebies I got in a magazine.

copics used. R00, R01, R02, R05 and R08.  

C1, C3, C5, C7, C9

B00, B01, B02 B04 and B12.

E11,13,15, 17 and 19, and R20.

Right best I go and clear up the dreadful mess I seem to have made again...  and make a start on another image.. once I have enough space on desk to colour up lol... done a few print outs now, so that should keep me busy and out of mischief for a little while .  

enjoy your weekend all..

hugs Jackie x

I had already decided to colour up Diva by Mo Manning, and enter the latest challenge, over at DP2 Challenge blog,  and also try out for the DT call on the Dream Team.  Well if you not in it, etc. :)

 

I thought I would also add some quilling for a complete change, oh boy do my fingers know about that !!!... paper cuts galore and as stiff as,  to say the least... but I think it was worth it... just lol.. 

Both papers are from stash, Ribbon from SU, paper doily.. wayhey, finally found some in correct size, lol.... and obviously copics.

LOTV card

Good afternoon crafters... Hope you are all keeping warm and dry.. have to say, we are lucky here on the South East coast, and have escaped a lot of the snow that the rest of the Country seems to have been hit by.

I was having a good old sort out of images, and OMG... I had forgotten I had some gorge LOTV ones, that I got free in a magazine a while back. smack my wrists lol... so... out come the copics and as it happened, I spotted this weeks challenge over at Lili's Little Fairies blog, and the theme is Spring colours :) To me, Spring is Yellows and Greens... so hence the colour ways on card.

 

Mind you... not looking much like Spring (or feeling it), outside at the moment. lol...   All the papers I have used are by SU, as is the ribbon,. Not sure where I got the sentiment from..  Yellow flowers punched out using the Retro flower punch, have to say, I love those punches.    Image by LOTV. and.... Copics used are.

Skin E00, E01, E11, R20. Hair (for what there is of it lol)... E17, 15 and 13. Dress YG63,67,11,13 AND 17. Shoes.. R20,22,24 and C1,3,5.  Hat Y21,23,26, 28. and YR13. 

Right... Im offski to sort car out.. petrol and tyres.. I hate that job... but think she running on fumes at moment. lol....  But we got a girly crafters meet at end of week, so I best put some petrol in or wont be going very far at all. :) Hope you all have a grand day... hugs J. xx
